    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    I have already shown what Scripture says, plainly, directly, and in context. You can’t just ignore verses like 2 Peter 3: 10–13, Romans 8, or Revelation 21 because they do not align with your personal position. If your view requires minimizing or redefining what God plainly revealed, then it is...

    Don’t Mistake Mercy for Approval: The Silent Warning of God’s Patience

    But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. ~ Romans 2:5 We live in a time when calling out sin is controversial, but excusing it is praised. People judge others with fingers pointed...

    You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

    I think your post has good ideas on stewardship, but some key points do not square with Scripture when taken in isolation. You say that we still need to care for the world because it will not be destroyed but only “changed, renewed or that only an “era” will end. But 2 Peter 3: 10–12 says the...

    Ten virgins

    Several of your comments about the parable of the ten virgins do not fit what the bible says. First, you state the oil is not the Holy Spirit because that would make the foolish virgins “not true believers.” But that is the very point of the parable. It is in the Old Testament (1 Kings 22...

    Jesus' Entitlements

    Your post begins with Scripture but then plunges into man’s speculation that goes far beyond Scripture. Jesus has no “paternal siblings” and so is automatically entitled to the whole estate by default, you said. Scripture does not say this. Jesus is not the heir because He has no siblings, but...

    Matthew 18:1

    The Bible is crystal clear: works do not save anyone, but saving faith never remains inactive. Anyone who insists works complete faith in a salvific sense, in that they are necessary in order to be saved, is distorting Scripture and substituting grace with a works mentality. Let’s run through...

    The Most Hated Truth

    Your entire reply rests on the same issue I originally called out: you refuse to let Scripture speak for itself. You keep trying to explain away plain verses by filtering them through your own logic and definitions instead of letting the Bible define its own terms. That is not sound handling of...

    Jesus' Entitlements

    The tension you are sensing isn’t from the Bible, it’s from applying human logic to something that the Scripture itself is already clear about. The Word of God doesn’t contradict itself when it comes to who Jesus is. He is both fully God and fully man. That’s not a contradiction, that’s the...

    Matthew 18:1

    The Bible doesn’t teach that works complete faith in order for someone to be saved. It says, “For we are justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28). That’s not an opinion; that’s Scripture. In fact, Ephesians 2: 8–9 is even more clear: “For by grace are ye saved through...

    Matthew 18:1

    That’s a good question and the answer is yes, it really does matter how you serve Christ on this earth. Your reward in heaven will be impacted by whether or not you are faithful in service to Him. It’s true that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8–9, Titus 3:5). We...

    Jesus' Entitlements

    I see your effort to bring together the biblical teaching of Jesus being the Son of the Father and His equality with the Father and the idea of believers also being adopted as sons of God (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:5; Ephesians 1:5). But let’s be clear that, while Jesus is called the “only...

    False teachers don’t always show up with obvious lies. They creep in quietly, mixing truth with poison, and the end result is destruction, for themselves and for those who follow them. That’s why we must test everything by Scripture and reject anything that doesn’t line up with the Word of God...

    The Most Hated Truth

    Let’s cut through the fog and stick to what the Bible actually says, because your arguments are not rooted in Sola Scriptura, they’re dressed-up philosophy. You’re twisting Scripture instead of reading it the way God actually meant it. You said Ephesians 2:3 doesn’t actually say our very nature...

    False Accusations, Fierce Enemies, and a Faithful God

    My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. ~ Psalms 7:10 In a world that increasingly mocks truth and targets those who stand for righteousness, Psalm 7 reminds us that we are not alone, and we are not powerless. David’s cry in this psalm is raw and real. He is slandered, hunted...

    Jesus became Immortal

    You’re not correcting anything. You’re just rejecting Scripture that doesn’t fit your view. That long list you posted from Acts doesn’t refute what Jesus clearly said in John 10:18—that He had authority to lay down His life and take it up again. You quoted the verse but ignored what it actually...

    Jesus became Immortal

    You keep repeating things the Bible already disproves. Jesus didn’t become the Author of life, He is the Author of life (Acts 3:15). He didn’t get immortality handed to Him, He already had life in Himself from the start (John 1:4, John 5:26). You’re not speaking truth, you’re twisting Scripture...

    Jesus became Immortal

    We’ve already gone over the key Scriptures that prove Jesus didn’t become immortal, He is life (John 14:6), He had the power to raise Himself (John 10:17–18), and death could not hold Him (Acts 2:24). You keep sidestepping those truths by repeating the same claims and ignoring the clear context...

    Jesus became Immortal

    Your post contains a serious doctrinal error when it claims that Jesus “became immortal” or underwent a “change of nature.” That idea does not come from Scripture. The Bible does not teach that Jesus was a mortal man who had to be transformed into an immortal being. According to Scripture, Jesus...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    The Bible never gives anyone the right to claim personal authority over others based on their own opinions. What the Bible does clearly teach is that God’s Word itself carries authority over all people, in every nation, for all generations. Scripture speaks with the authority of God, not man...

    Matthew 18:1

    Your status is significant in heaven, but only because it reveals the way you served Christ on earth. You don’t strive for greatness, but faithfulness, obedience, and humility. The crown, reward, or position you earn will be for His glory, not your own. It’s not a contest to appear “holier”...
