    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Your comment relies on a man-made metaphor to justify theological reasoning, but Scripture is not interpreted through clever wordplay or idioms, it is interpreted by Scripture itself. God’s Word warns against leaning on human understanding (Proverbs 3:5), and tells us that “no prophecy of the...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    According to Scripture, no one has the authority to speak from personal opinion when it comes to God's truth, but every believer is called to declare what God has already spoken through His Word. 2 Timothy 3:16–17 says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    According to Scripture, God did not punish Himself for giving us free will. He punished sin. Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14), took our punishment voluntarily. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities,” and verse 10 says...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Your entire argument is built on lies and rebellion against the authority of God's Word. The Bible never “rejects” itself as the only authority, that’s a ridiculous and false claim. What it does reject is adding to or taking away from what God has spoken. Deuteronomy 4:2 says, “Ye shall not add...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    You are not rightly dividing anything, you’re twisting Scripture to defend man-made religion, and I’ve had enough of your dishonest arguments. You keep accusing others of cherry-picking while you rip verses out of context to support false doctrine. Mark 7 isn’t about hygiene, it’s about corrupt...

    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Your statement is a philosophical opinion, not a biblical argument. Sola Scriptura means we test everything against the Word of God, not logic structures or abstract reasoning. Scripture frequently uses metaphors, analogies, and parables to communicate spiritual truth, even when every aspect of...

    Instead of preaching the good news that sinners can be made righteous in Christ and escape the...

    Instead of preaching the good news that sinners can be made righteous in Christ and escape the wrath to come, the gospel has degenerated into the pretext that we can be happy in Christ and escape the hassles of life. ~ Ray Comfort

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Your claim that “wrath” is not in Isaiah 53 or the New Testament is simply false. Just because the word wrath (Hebrew: ʾaph, Greek: orge) isn’t used explicitly in a particular verse doesn’t mean the concept isn’t clearly present. Isaiah 53 is filled with language that points directly to God’s...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    That analogy is not only irreverent, it’s a gross misrepresentation of the holy, righteous God revealed in Scripture. Comparing God to a playground bully shows you don’t understand who He is or what sin actually is. God is not lashing out at the weak, He is judging rebellion against His perfect...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Your entire argument collapses when you look at the actual context of Scripture and the consistent use of the word aionios (αἰώνιος) across the New Testament. You’re attempting to redefine a biblical word to fit your theology rather than letting the Bible speak for itself. Aionios does not...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    It’s not up to you to decide what God should or shouldn’t do. God is not a tyrant, and He’s not a product of man’s imagination, He is the holy, righteous Judge revealed in Scripture. When you say everlasting wrath doesn’t fit the crime, you’re accusing God of injustice, whether you admit it or...

    Truth or Terror: The Biblical Reality of Apostasy

    For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. ~ Jude 1:4 Did you know that false teachers are marked for judgment. A false teacher...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    The argument you're making is not grounded in Scripture, and that’s the standard we must use. Sola Scriptura means that Scripture alone is the final and sufficient authority for all doctrine, correction, and instruction in righteousness. You quoted 2 Timothy 3:16-17 but missed the point, Paul is...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    It doesn’t matter how we personally define “wrath.” What matters is how God defines it in His Word. Sola Scriptura means we don’t rely on our own opinions, feelings, or reasoning, we submit to what Scripture says. The Bible consistently speaks of God’s wrath as a righteous and holy response to...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Your view contradicts what Scripture clearly teaches. It is not about what we prefer to believe, it is about what God has said. According to Sola Scriptura, the Bible alone is our authority, and it plainly states that Jesus bore the wrath of God on our behalf. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    It is not up to us to decide what God should or should not do. God is the Creator, we are the created. His judgments are righteous and final, whether we understand them fully or not. The Bible is not vague about the reality of eternal punishment. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 25:46, “And these...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Your questions challenge God's justice, but the Bible gives us clear answers. God is absolutely holy, perfectly just, and all-knowing. He did not create sin, but He allowed the Fall to demonstrate both His righteousness in judgment and His mercy in salvation. Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, as by...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    You’ve been shown the truth from Scripture, but you reject it for man-made religion. I won’t be responding to your false teaching any further.

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    You're not defending the truth, you’re promoting the traditions of men that Jesus clearly warned against. You're twisting Scripture instead of reading it the way God actually meant it. Just be honest, come out and say you're a Catholic and you don’t actually believe what the Bible teaches. You...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Here’s a simple explanation of how God’s wrath and love work together, straight from the Bible: God’s wrath is His anger at sin, not at us as people. Sin is anything that goes against His goodness, like lying or hating, and the Bible says in Romans 1:18, “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven...
