    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    You say it's my opinion, but I quoted the Scripture. Psalm 24: 1 says, "The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." That is not my opinion, that is God's Word. The difference between what you call my opinion and Scripture is this: when I explain a...

    The extortion gospel - "believe or burn" - not really a choice

    No, that is not what God wants. The Bible is clear that fear of man is not the aim, and hatred is not the measure by which God has called His people to live. The fear God calls us to is the fear of Him, holy reverence for Him that results in obedience and faith. Proverbs 9: 10 states, “The fear...

    The Folly of Denying God

    The Bible is not shy about the ugliness of unbelief. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 53:1). Pay attention, it does not say, the mind or the intellect. It says, “the fool hath said in his heart”. When people deny God it is not because they have any evidence against His...

    When exactly do you become a Christian?

    Please let me take you step by step through the passages you have mentioned. Psalm 24: 1 is clear “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1) This speaks of God’s ownership as Creator, not as Savior. Every man is His because He formed...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    You are bringing tradition and history into the conversation instead of Scripture. Jesus never said His church was built on Peter as a man. He said, “upon this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). The rock was Peter’s confession of who Christ is (Matthew 16:16–17). Scripture interprets...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Let me remind you also that YOU started this conversation, see post #11. I am not sinning against YOU, I am answering what you wrote with Scripture. My only zeal is to shine the light of God’s Word on false teaching, not to attack you personally. You accuse me of slander, but the Bible commands...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    That is the Democrats' attitude, and they push and push and push. Then, if they don't get their way, they tear down our cities and kill people.

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    Obedience is important, but we must be specific as to what obedience means. Satan can't duplicate obedience to God's Word, but he can duplicate outward obedience to men's systems and “church” structures. Jesus declared, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Don’t “hide behind ‘I just quoted Scripture.’” Satan quoted Scripture in Matthew 4: 6 but he twisted it out of context to advance a lie. That’s exactly what you’re doing. The problem is not the Bible, it’s the way you’re twisting it to deny what it plainly says. “He that believeth on me hath...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    The problem with your post is that you are setting Scripture against Scripture, and that is never the way of truth. Jesus Himself said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). That is not...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Yes, nothing can separate us from God’s love. But sin still breaks our fellowship with Him. The Bible says, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18). That’s not losing salvation, that’s losing closeness. John wrote to believers, “If we confess our sins, he is...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Scripture never simplifies grieving the Holy Spirit to just making Him sad. Ephesians 4: 30 is sandwiched between direct commands to put away lying, anger, corrupt words, bitterness, and all forms of sin (Ephesians 4:25–31). The Greek word (lupeō) means to cause to sorrow, distress, or offense...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    Perhaps instead of throwing up our hands in the air and claiming “we can’t survive,” it’s time that we fight back against the hate and the lies that are being shoved down our throats. Things will not change if we simply lay down and allow the left to drag this country deeper into darkness. If...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    We do know that the House Democrats where the ones that OBJECTED to a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk. Reports have surfaced that the ammunition in or with the rifle had engravings expressing pro-transgender or anti-fascist messages, which the Democrats push. So, unless people are just stupid...

    Charlie Kirk conservative speaker shot in the neck. Condition unknown for now.

    House Democrats OBJECT to a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk. Democrats literally screamed, "NO!" I'm honestly surprised that punches were not thrown in the House Chamber. Such Evil!

    He was murdered by a left-minded person. He did not just die. Left-minded person = usually refers to the side that pushes godless policies, denies biblical truth, and celebrates sin.

    Please show me where you find proof for your statement in the bible, “The NT teaches that a person could be saved and yet be disobedient.” The New Testament never divorces salvation from obedience. “If ye love me, keep my commandments,” said Jesus (John 14:15). In Paul we read that salvation is...

    First, because God’s Word teaches all people, saved or unsaved, are under His authority. God commands “all men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). An unsaved person is not exempt from obedience simply because they do not believe. In fact, Romans 2: 8 says, “unto them that are contentious, and...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Without Jesus, no one is acceptable to God. The Bible says we are sinners, and our good deeds are like dirty rags (Isaiah 64:6). God says people without Christ “cannot please God” (Romans 8:8) and are “condemned already” (John 3:18). But when you believe in Jesus, God makes you clean and accepts...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Okay, think about it this way. A child says, “I don’t believe in my parents.” Does that remove the authority of the parents? Does that make the household rules void? Does it remove the child from under their authority? No. In fact, it only increases the child’s guilt in rebellion. It is no...
