    Common doctrine for marriage in error?

    Mark 12:18-27 King James Version 18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up...

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ

    The gospel, or good news, of Jesus Christ is the news that Jesus, the son of God, the Christ (Messias), died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. Why is this good news? That Jesus died for our sins (our sins were laid on Jesus and Jesus was put to death for them) was buried and rose...

    Jesus Christ, the propitiation for our sins

    Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the propitiation for our sins. He is the means by which God the Father propitiated the problem of our sins for himself. Jesus died for our sins, God inflicted all consequence for our sins on Jesus. Romans 3:24-26 KJV 24 Being justified freely by his...

    What is the name of Jesus Christ?

    John 3:18 King James Version 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 John 5:13 King James Version 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of...

    Did Jesus take the punishment for our sins?

    Or did he just die for our sins? This is something I've been trying to figure out for the past few months and have been unable to do so. As far as I have read, the language in the Holy Bible never explicitly says that Jesus took the punishment for our sins, but it seems clear to me that he died...

    What do these words mean in 1 Corinthians 15:3?

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4 King James Version 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I...

    1 John 5:13 - believing on the name of the Son of God

    1 John 5:13 King James Version 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. This is a very valuable verse in the Bible, it tells you exactly what you need...

    Jesus' death of popular culture, vs. what the Bible says

    Just writing an observation. When I read the Bible it only says that Jesus died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:4), I don't recall it going beyond that (though I might be way wrong). I have an impression that that is where forgiveness comes in, that Jesus died for our sins and so we can be...

    Are all of our sins (past, present, future) forgiven when we come to faith in Jesus?

    I've read it stated before online that all sins are forgiven when someone comes to faith in Jesus (past, present, and future). I'm just wondering the opinion of others if this is actually the case. I recall reading in the New Testament that the Father is just and faithful to forgive us our sins...

    Am I correct with my understanding of this? Faith in Jesus alone = salvation

    Which would include that he is the Son of God? This is all that I can gather from a reading of John 3:14-18 (KJV) when reading it honestly and not trying to bend words into it. What I am struck by is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and to a smaller extent Romans 3:21-26 and Romans 10:9, which seem to put a...

    Questions about Matthew 26:28 and Hebrews 9:22 (purpose of Jesus' death, how someone is saved)

    Matthew 26:28 (KJV) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Hebrews 9:22 (KJV) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Is the correct understanding from these verses that Jesus...

    Reconciling the different resurrection accounts

    Just wondering if anyone has a good view on this? This is something I struggle with, reconciling the different resurrection accounts. Matthew 28 and John 20 for instance present two different accounts which are seemingly contradictory. I have trouble harmonizing them or reconciling them, though...

    "The chastisement of our peace was upon him"

    Is this synonymous with saying Jesus was punished for our sins? Or does chastisement connotate another meaning other than punishment?

    Is it enough to just believe in Jesus?

    Or must you believe on his name? I read the KJV and have trouble with this. At the end of the Gospel According to John it says that the signs written about are there so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through his name. The...

    Is there marriage in heaven?

    My guess is that there is not marriage in heaven, since there is no marriage in the first resurrection. It would be a little strange to be married in heaven and then not married when the resurrection happens, or inconvenient, I suppose. Maybe there is though?

    Do believers die during the first resurrection?

    My cursory understanding is that believers do indeed die during the first resurrection. Please correct me if I'm wrong... 1) The first resurrection is a 1,000 year period where believers live and reign with Jesus. 2) This is evidenced by the fact that Jesus said that those that the Father draws...

    Can you be baptized by an unbelieving person?

    I think it says you cannot enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the spirit, does that mean if it's necessary you can be baptized by an unbelieving person? Let's say the only option for a church was one with people who are unbelieving, can you be baptized by someone there?

    Why do Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9 contradict each other?

    I don't understand this... in the KJV there is an apparent contradiction here. The men with Paul hear a voice, and then it says that they don't hear a voice.

    Could Jesus forgive sins because he is the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world"?

    As it says in Revelation? Or does he just have the authority to do so as the Son of God? Like how come he could do so before he was crucified and raised from the dead?
