I agree with the Nicene creed, which was not yet Trinitarian in the truest sense. At that stage they haven't formulated how the Father, Son, and Spirit were one. Should have left that alone and settled for what scripture says. That Jesus was a Son before Bethlehem is obvious of you accept...

Righteousness by faith. Righteousness as a gift to all those who recognise their need, and ask. And always will be until Jesus returns to take His children home, and leaves the unbelieving world in ruins until the new creation. A new start.

So the angel was lying?

The angel told Joseph what Jesus was saving us from...sin. Matt.1:21 If one is to accept that as simply as it says, then one can confidently discard at least a couple of false theories, one of which you described above, that Jesus is determined to incinerate the vast majority of mankind. The...

When Jesus said the following, who was it that shared the glory, other than the Father? “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. ” John 17:5 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/John.17.5 Who was I, the one who was with the...

The recent demise of Pope Francis has the world in a tiz. The media everywhere is tripping over itself in its attempts to out-praise each other regarding the late pope's character and life. However, the words of the Jesuit general, Sosa, ought to be given careful consideration. He said that to...

Many hold faith as an opinion. Saving faith is a transaction, by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God. A living faith means an increase of vigor, a confiding trust, by which, through the grace of Christ, the soul becomes a conquering power. Faith is a...

There is a misapprehension among some regarding those who identify the papacy with the Antichrist. No-one as far as I know, on this forum has ever claimed the pope himself to be the Antichrist. That would be impossible, considering the apostles taught the Antichrist present in their day... The...

I believe you recently quoted this scripture, "the Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance". If you believe this, and I know you do, how do you know billions have gone to the grave (not a? fter life) without any offer of repentance? Is God playing...

Exactly. “21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy...

There are "many" who do agree. There are even more who agree with those "many", except for some minor details. The rest would say those "many", and anyone agreeing with them, must be a cult. Why? Because the majority disagree with them. But one might well ask, when has the majority ever been...

So. Revelation is not a revelation after all?

Heavenly Father, we praise you, and thank you for your faithfulness and goodness toward us all. Sometimes however, some of us need a little extra special attention, and today, is Learner's turn. May you bless him, draw close to him, reach out and touch Learner with your healing hand, and bring...

Yes!

One can claim to be a part of Israel, but based on what? The name Israel was given to Jacob because of a change of heart. He had revealed to the Angel that he was no longer the deceiving sly person he once was that had taken the blessing by stealth, but was now worthy of the name Israel, the...

Incidentally, well, actually significantly, the colours associated with Babylon the Great are also scarlet, gold, purple, and bl...wait. no. There's no blue. And Antichrist is otherwise known as the mystery of iniquity, and the "lawless one". Where does your life sit as a Christian that denies...

The majority of Christians today believe obedience to be superfluous to salvation. Yet it was disobedience that got us all into trouble in the first place. So the prevalent attitude among Christians today is not to lovingly search out ways by which we can serve God in obedience and...

Someone once put it this way... The Jewish elders who recommended the centurion to Christ had shown how far they were from possessing the spirit of the gospel. They did not recognize that our great need is our only claim on God's mercy. In their self-righteousness they commended the centurion...

I agree, it's absolutely relational. But surely, if that person with whom you have that relationship is worthy of your friendship and love, you will want to know all you can about Him? Jesus said the faith of a little child was essential. By saying 'enough' it seems you want everything God has...

That's a question that introduces many to a deep confusing dark pit of stumbling. My answer... Righteousness by faith. And real righteousness that comes as a gift. Not righteousness as in declared righteous while walking in sin, but real genuine changes made in the life, not by our own...
