Scripture instructs us that we grow as believers by stages, I agree. But there is a clear line in the Word between spiritual immaturity and unrepentant hypocrisy. A new believer is bound to trip up now and again in their learning process, but one who is willfully, unrepentantly sinning has shown...

I agree that the true Church, the body of Christ, cannot become apostate. Jesus said, “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it” ~Matthew 16:18. But Scripture also makes clear that within the visible church there will be many who claim His name but are not truly His. That’s the apostasy...

We’ve already gone over this in detail. You're just restating the same points I've already answered with Scripture. The text hasn't changed, and neither has the meaning. I stand by what's written, not by recycled arguments. You’re just circling back to the same argument I have already dismantled...

That's not how truth works. I'm not the standard, God's Word is. If what someone teaches is contrary to Scripture then yes, it's false. But if it agrees with the Bible, then it stands regardless of who may disagree. "Let God be true, but every man a liar" ~Romans 3:4.

You keep asserting it’s been “proven,” but you’ve never shown a single verse that says the New Testament was supposed to contain the Hebrew name.” No, it isn’t. Scripture does not say that anywhere. What it does say is that the writers spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit ~2 Peter 1:21...

I hear you and I understand where you are coming from. But what you are describing is not biblical Christianity. That is a perversion of grace. The Bible NEVER teaches that grace allows anyone to go around sinning. Grace REGENERATES a person from the inside out. “The grace of God has appeared...

No, a Christian cannot be a Buddhist. The two are completely opposite in what they teach about God, life and truth. Buddhism denies the one true God of the Bible. Buddhism teaches that through discipline and meditation people can come to a place of peace or “enlightenment”. Christianity teaches...

You asked several important questions, and the Word of God provides clear answers to each. First, caring about what Muslims believe doesn’t mean agreeing with it. We care enough about them to tell them the truth that can save their soul. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of...

You are correct to denounce hateful hearts, but don’t mistake compassion for muddling what Christ so plainly taught. The Bible is clear. Jesus is the only way to the Father. “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” ~John...

I’ve tested what you’re saying by the Word of God, and it doesn’t stand. You can say you’ve studied for years, but what you’re teaching doesn’t match what Scripture actually says. The Bible warns that “if anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord...

you’re still mixing two very different judgments together as if they’re one and the same. Jeremiah’s warning was indeed to his generation about Babylon’s invasion and the horrors that would take place in the Valley of Hinnom. No one denies that. But that local, national judgment was the type—the...

You keep bringing up the same argument again and again, but you are overlooking what the Bible teaches. The NT writers were not inserting or restoring the Tetragrammaton because they were being inspired by the Holy Spirit to write something else, they wrote Kyrios and applied it to Jesus Christ...

Yes, you did say that earlier. You told me I “wasn’t smart enough to work with the Greek text,” which is exactly the kind of prideful jab that has nothing to do with the topic. Now you say “I’m not smarter than everyone else” but that’s the same tone you took when you tried to elevate your own...

You can’t really love the Bible if you don’t obey it. The Spirit of the risen Christ has never led anyone to reject or ignore Scripture, for He is the One who gave it ~2 Peter 1:21. The Holy Spirit and the Word never oppose one another. You say that you want to follow the Spirit, but the Spirit...

The question was answered, straight from the Bible, not from me. The fact that you don’t like the answer doesn’t make it unanswered. You’re rejecting what’s written because it doesn’t fit your version of things. That’s not discernment; that’s rebellion. You can’t rewrite Scripture to suit your...

None of this is about opinions or who “wins.” It’s about what God’s Word actually says. I keep telling you this isn’t a disagreement in interpretation, but it’s not. I’m quoting Scripture, you’re rejecting it. There is the difference. You say that the gates of the heavenly city never close, but...

Don’t miss the point. The Bible is not King James’s word. It’s God’s Word, and He is its Author. King James had no hand in the translation (let alone the writing or inspiration) of the Bible. He merely authorized the translation. Over fifty men, many of them learned in Hebrew, Greek, and...

You’ve just wandered off the topic completely. My post is not on timelines or rapture sequences or end-times charts. My post is on apostasy, the here and now falling away from the truth that Scripture plainly prophesied would occur. Jude and Peter and Paul each foretold this rebellion and said...

Your argument falls flat because you’re trying to force an eternal truth to fit into a single, temporary, national event. You’re diminishing the judgment of gehenna, which Jesus plainly taught was eternal punishment, to a historical moment in the crisis of Jerusalem. That’s not exegesis, that’s...

You asked for someone to explain how people can be “outside the gates” in Revelation 21–22. Here’s the biblical answer, straight from the text, not opinion. Rev 22: 15 tells you exactly who they are: “Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and...
