    Run that by me again, Moses

    John 17:22 must be understood in the context of the entire Gospel of John, which consistently reveals the divine nature of Jesus Christ. Throughout this chapter, Jesus is praying to the Father, but that does not deny His divinity. Instead, it reflects the relationship between the Father and the...

    Run that by me again, Moses

    The truth doesn’t come from man-made traditions or legal interpretations like the so-called "Jewish law of agency"—it comes from Scripture alone. God's Word is the final authority, and we are commanded not to add to it or take away from it (Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6). While the concept of...

    Run that by me again, Moses

    Readers of the true Word of God are not missing anything by rejecting the false idea that Moses is, in any sense, Yahweh. In fact, holding to what Scripture actually says protects against deception. Moses is consistently presented in the Bible as a servant, prophet, and mediator between God and...

    Run that by me again, Moses

    In Deuteronomy 29:6, when Moses says, “in order that you might know that I am Yahweh your God,” he is not claiming to be Yahweh Himself. This is a misunderstanding of the speaker’s role. Moses is acting as God's mouthpiece, delivering God's words directly to the people. This is a common pattern...

    Don't fall into the trap, of thinking your faith is solely your doing - it is your doing in part, but praise God daily

    God is all-knowing (Isaiah 46:9–10), declaring the end from the beginning, and nothing catches Him off guard. He is not like man, subject to new information or unexpected outcomes. As for the comment that God “enjoys” surprise, Scripture never describes God experiencing surprise or being caught...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is fully God and fully man, not merely a prophet or created being. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 makes it clear that the Word became flesh, Jesus. Thomas called Him, “My Lord and my...

    Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way. - A. W. Tozer

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    That statement is completely backward. God does not judge based on what we accept as truth, He judges based on what He declares to be true. Truth is not relative, and it’s not determined by personal belief, opinion, or organizational doctrine. God’s Word is truth (John 17:17), and He has already...

    The curse of ignorance

    I believe you're right to see that the fall of man brought more than just physical death and suffering, it brought spiritual blindness and confusion. Scripture confirms this. In Romans 1:21–22, it says, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but...

    Don't fall into the trap, of thinking your faith is solely your doing - it is your doing in part, but praise God daily

    God is never surprised by anything. He is all-knowing, omniscient, which means He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9–10). Nothing catches Him off guard, including our faith. Hebrews 4:13 says, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    What you're saying sounds like the beginning of a common misunderstanding that people use to deny the full deity of Jesus Christ. But the Bible is clear: while Jesus did not speak on His own accord in the sense of acting independently from the Father, that does not mean He is less than God. In...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    You did not answer my question to you: Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? The deity of Christ is in the Bible, but not in the version you use, which has been deliberately altered by men to fit their false doctrine. Your translation removes or distorts key verses that clearly declare who Jesus is...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told: You’re Fine Just as You Are

    The sealing of the Holy Spirit, as described in Ephesians 1:13-14 and Ephesians 4:30, is indeed a mark of ownership and security for those who are truly born again. But let’s be clear, this sealing is not a license to continue in sin. The idea that someone can genuinely be born of God and yet...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    I don’t need a false teacher from a cult that denies the deity of Jesus Christ and rewrites the Bible to fit their doctrine to tell me how I should act or respond. You're right, I’m absolutely not open to anything that contradicts the Word of God, because I stand on the truth of Scripture alone...

    "If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for." ~ Charles Spurgeon

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor or leader is teaching heresy, others should be warned as soon as it becomes clear that what is being taught directly contradicts the truth of Scripture and the person refuses to repent after being confronted. Romans 16:17 says, “Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary...

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor began to teach heresy, teaching something that clearly contradicts the Word of God, it must be addressed. Scripture gives us instruction on this. Paul tells Timothy, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear” (1 Timothy 5:20). When false doctrine is taught publicly...

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor began to teach heresy, anything that contradicts the clear truth of Scripture, I would confront it directly and call it out. There are way too many Preachers that are teaching false doctrine today and not standing up for the truths of the Bible. The Bible commands us to “test...
