    Is the Holy Spirit actively working today? Also, Is the Holy Spirit necessary for salvation?

    Surprisingly, some people don't think he is. I know at least two people who think that. They say that he was just poured out during apostolic times. I wonder how many people believe that. Also, my daughter was telling me how shocked she was when the pastor at the church she was attending stated...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Luke 1: 46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my savior. If Mary calls God her savior, she must have been a repentant sinner.

    Are People Really Sheep?

    Most people are sheep because they follow and strongly defend the religion that they were born into. They would rather listen to and believe what another person in their religion has to say instead of doing their own research to find the truth. The sheep that belong to Christ hear and follow his...

    Dysfunctional Faith-Alone justification

    Those that call themselves Christians are either monergists or synergists. Monergists are those that believe that salvation is initiated and entirely concluded by God. God the Father chooses who to save and men's will has nothing to do with being chosen. God changes the person chosen by...

    Is it by Grace or is it by Works?

    Those that call themselves Christians are either monergists or synergists. Monergists are those that believe that salvation is initiated and entirely concluded by God. God the Father chooses who to save and men's will has nothing to do with being chosen. God changes the person chosen by...

    Understanding unconditional election

    God Almighty can do anything He wants. If He desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, then all men would be saved and there would be no need for a savior. This cannot be the truth. The truth is that no human deserves to be saved and justice has to be upheld in God's...

    Understanding unconditional election

    I asked AI: From John 3: 16, if A is the phrase "everyone who believes in him" and B is the phrase "will not perish", can this scripture be interpreted as not a conditional statement but as those who will not perish are believers? AI reviewed 15 sources and came up with the following: Yes , it...

    Understanding unconditional election

    The reason Jesus wants to do the Father's will is because the Father's presence, mind, heart, and power resides in Jesus, and Jesus wants to show his love to the Father by obeying Him.

    Understanding unconditional election

    You are puting the cart in front of the horse. You state that salvation is not contingent on who will believe and at the same time you state that God is choosing those who believe and love his son. 1 Cor 1: 29-31 That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of (by) him (the Father) are ye in...

    Understanding unconditional election

    God's grace is not contingent on who will believe but on who He chooses. God cannot fail, so who He chooses will not only believe, but also be changed (born again). John 3: 3 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Too many believe, but have...

    Trinity

    I'm trying to figure out why no one has responded to this post since Jan 2, 2026. It takes courage that comes from God to deviate from doctrines that you were born into. The road to damnation has been wide for a reason. John 17: 3-4 And this is life eternal , that they might know thee (the...

    Numbers 11: 29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them!

    What is a Prophet?

    Num 11: 25-29 When the Spirit was put upon the seventy elders of Israel, the text states, " And as the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied. But they did not continue doing it". 1 Sam 10: 6-11 Samuel prophesied that when the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, he would "prophesy with them and...

    Who did Cain marry?

    Matt 13: 10-11 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. The answer you seeked was already given. You just have to...

    Col 1: 15-17 Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers- -all things were created by him, and for...

    Trinity

    Saint Augustine of Hippo is believed to have lived from 354 AD to 430 AD. 1. Initiated in 303 AD by Emperor Diocletian, this was the last and most severe official persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, aiming to eradicate the rapidly growing Christian faith. Edicts mandated the...

    Who did Cain marry?

    The Father created our reality through His Son, who sits on His right hand because the Father's will in our reality is accomplished through His Son. In this sense the Son is equal to the Father, but the Father is greater than the Son because He is the God of the Son. The Father, in the Son's...
