    With So Many Denominations...

    Update: I'm afraid I haven't made myself very clear. My intentions were to provoke critical/analytical thought harnessed by Scripture--not to solicit personal suggestions per se (not that I couldn't use some, of course). With all of the bright hearts and minds I've encountered so far, in the end...

    Obey...Serve... Cleave

    - Deut 13:4 """"Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and be in reverent awe of Him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto Him."" This verse is a good one if you are looking for "God's will" for your life. 3 easy steps. 1. Obey 2. Serve 3...

    (Refuting) This Going 2 A Church (Building) Saves You Doctrine!!

    I keep coming across this doctrine where people seem to think just because they go to a church building that their ok with God. They seem to be so big on fellowship and nothing else. Anyone can have fellowship, even criminal gangs have fellowship are they saved? Now I agree Christians should...

    Theological Diversity & Inclusion

    According to the Bible, only those people who repent from sin and ask God for forgiveness will receive eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus. In obedience to this standard Christian obligation, the church hierarchy routinely encourages its congregation to seek divine forgiveness for their...

    The Doctrine of Election, Part 3

    Called Ones According to His Purpose (Rom. 8:28-30) “In considering this topic we cannot do better than follow carefully the Apostle's words and logical reasoning’s. In the preceding verses (22,23) what is God's purpose in calling the New Creation--that they are called to receive a great...

    The Doctrine of Election, Part 2

    The election of the New Creation “We have already seen that this election does not imply that the non-elect shall receive injury; but, on the contrary, that it implies the blessing of the non-elect in due time. We might add in this connection that neither Justice nor Love could make any...

    The Doctrine of Election, Part 1

    “The doctrine of election, as generally understood, is a very repulsive one, full of partiality and inequity; but this is the result of misunderstanding the divine Word on this subject. The election taught in the Scriptures, must be conceded by all to be one of the grandest doctrines of the...

    What thing is this? What new doctrine is this?

    What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. Mark 1:25-27 “And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. [26] And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out...

    The Catholic Church and sola scriptura

    There is another thread that is so general in its topic regarding the RCC that almost anything would qualify. I am taking one subject from it for this thread. That subject is "sola scriptura". 1. Defining Terms: Sola Scriptura means "All tradition and doctrine to be tested by the Bible to see...

    Sola Scriptura - foundational to Protestantism - and to good Bible doctrine

    The "sola scriptura" teaching of Acts 17:11 is not only foundational to Protestantism - it is also foundational to good Bible doctrine. "They studied the scriptures daily to SEE IF those things spoken to them by the apostle Paul - were SO" Acts 17:11 1. The Bible was their standard by which...

    With Authority; not as the scribes

    "Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old." (Matthew 13:52) Scribe: a writer that is (professionally) scribe or secretary:-town-clerk...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    We often hear that the test of any comment or doctrine is scripture, and certainly it is a good test. It's just not the last word, nor is it the best test. Nor should it be considered our last line of defense. To do so, is to admit that we do not understand where we are in God's master plan of...
