When people think of giving, they think of slipping money into a collection plate or getting scolded about owing ten percent. But that’s a shallow and distorted picture. Sadly, it’s what so many churches focus on as if financial obligation is the heart of belonging to the Church. But the Bible...

You are trying to set Jesus against Himself and that's not going to work. In Luke 22: 36 Jesus told His disciples to go buy a sword because trouble was coming and they needed to be ready. That wasn't a metaphor. That was a command. When they said "Here are two swords" Jesus said "It is enough"...

Repentance unto salvation is not something a Christian continually does to remain saved. Scripture is clear, repentance is the one time turning to God that takes place at conversion. "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). 2 Corinthians 5:17 states, "Therefore if any man be...

The significance was not just cultural for the Jews, it was spiritual for all believers. The Bible never portrays water baptism as a Jewish tradition, but as a command of Christ for His church. Jesus commissioned us to baptize all nations in Matthew 28:19, not just Jews, and Acts demonstrates...

Yes, Jesus said “baptize them,” but the them in Matthew 28:19 is not random people, it is those already made disciples through the gospel. The order is clear: make disciples, then baptize them, then teach them to obey. Acts 2:41 confirms it: “Then they that gladly received his word were...

Stop trying to change the subject. This is not about which English translation is “better,” it’s about the truth of God’s Word. You are twisting Scripture to fit your false teaching, and in doing so you are lying about what God clearly said. The Bible does not reduce salvation to a temporary...

You're entire post. "Salvation…is Only gifted (received) unto a man AFTER an accounted bodily Death."

You must be a Oneness Pentecostal who deny the Trinity and twist verses to force a man-made doctrine. May be should actually read what I wrote and am writing now. You need to apologize for the lies you are telling. I did read your post, and brushing what I wrote off as "feelings" instead of...

You are right, we should not and should never support the interfaith movement or those who promote it. Jesus was clear: “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). It is a direct lie, and to stand with it in any way is to turn our backs on the truth. You are also right that the RCC...

Jesus came first to save sinners by His atonement. “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). He gave His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). His blood was shed for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:28). That’s the heart of the gospel. But that’s not the only...

Nowhere does the NT say that our works are worthless. It only says that our works cannot save us or keep us saved. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9). However, in the very next verse it says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works”...

Jesus never said that good works keep us saved. He said that the only proof to show if our foundation is real is by our obedience (Matthew 7:24–27). The wise man hears and does the Word of Christ. He builds on the rock and his house does not fall (Matthew 7:24–25). The foolish man only hears but...

I totally agree and that would also make a good thread. I think I will write a blog post on that.

Yes, God requires obedience. That’s never changed. But the point is, if someone isn’t saved, they can’t obey God in a way that pleases Him. Romans 8: 7: “The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” That’s why the Bible makes it...

You say it’s tiring to hear that we do good works because we are saved and because we want to. But that is the teaching of the Bible. Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Obedience is the result of loving Him, not the attempt to earn salvation. When a person is truly...

Salvation is a gift, not a result of works, but genuine salvation will be evidenced by good works. “For by grace are ye saved through faith … not of works” (Ephesians 2:8–9). However, “faith without works is dead” (James 2:17). If a person claims to be saved but has no fruit, their faith no real...

You’re putting words in my mouth. I never said “faith in God for all things is tempting God.” What I said is what the Bible itself says, that we are not to tempt God. There’s a difference. Faith trusts and obeys His Word. Tempting God means twisting His promises, acting recklessly, or demanding...

I am not misunderstanding anything. You are twisting Scripture by overemphasizing water baptism while downplaying repentance and faith. The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9). Baptism is commanded and important, but it follows salvation, it...

Matthew 28:19 does not need to be redefined or rewritten; it says exactly what Jesus commanded. The Lord said to His disciples, “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). To suggest that this verse...
