The Creation Story (Genesis 1-11) was written in a genre of literature in which metaphors were not used. Therefore, no metaphors are found in the Creation Story. Every word in the Creation Story is used literally rather than metaphorically. Moreover, the word “walk” is never used in the...

The English word “walk” in our New Testament is a translation of the Greek word περιπατέω, which expresses the concept of walking—either literally or figuratively. It NEVER expresses the concept of “understanding”! When used figuratively, it expresses the concept of behaving oneself, either...

No, it does not state that. The Bible says, “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” Can you show me where in the Bible it states that Jesus is one of the three persons in the Trinity? Show me those words...

I asked, “How is believing in Jesus different from believing in Santa Clause?” People ask questions for many different reasons. Some people ask questions simply to get information, as in, “Where is the nearest post office?” Pastors often begin a sermon by asking a question as a homiletical...

Unlike OSAS’s, I do not need to quote Scriptures out of their God-given context to falsely create the impression that they teach OSAS. However, these Scriptures—even when read out of context—do not in any way suggest that Christians cannot lose their salvation. Moreover, we ALL agree in...

My opening post does NOT ask what is the difference between Jesus and Santa Clause; it asks, “How is believing in Jesus different from believing in Santa Clause?

For 1,500 years, the church was unanimous in teaching in the doctrine of conditional security. Moreover, down to this day, the large majority of Bible scholars still teach the doctrine of conditional security, but no one has taught what this post falsely accuses them of teaching. What we have...

John 15:5. “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6. “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned...

Do comments such as these help others to grow in grace—or do they make a mockery of the grace of God!

John 8:31. So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32. and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Col. 1:23. if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not...

John 10:22. At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23. it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. 24. The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us...

14. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15. Forsaking the right way they have gone astray; they have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16. but was...

Apostates are people who had been Christians but who have taken a stand against Christ.

Up until the 16th century, all Christians believed in the conditional security of the believer. This was also the doctrine of our earliest Baptist forefathers before some Baptists heard a brand new doctrine (perseverance of the saints, the earliest of the various eternal security doctrines)...
