Saint Augustine of Hippo [354-430 AD…1 Pet…”18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ….” AND Rev 13…”8 And...

Abraham had to DO something BEFORE his faith was credited as righteousness. He had to GET UP AND GO. Heb 11:8…”8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he left, not knowing where he was going.” Abraham had FAITH the...

Essentially the "First Resurrection" has TWO "comings to life", one before the thousand years, and one after the thousand years, BOTH of which are described as the "First Resurrection". And the apostle says that "Those" in this first resurrection, those before the thousand year and those after...

John says (Jn 1;1---) that Jesus is God's word made flesh. God is a manifold being: Him, His Spirit, His Word, His Wisdom, etc. Can any of those be separated from Him. Every single one is "Who" He is. He cannot be comprehended, explained or labeled with a name, like "God". He is...

Eccl 7:..."29“Behold, I have found only this, that God made men upright, but they have sought out many devices.” ...like teaching kids that Santa Claus brings toys, that it's expected to make a wish when the birthday candles are blown out, or to toss a coin in the "wishing well" and make a wish...

I don't know the commenter's position, but this is a pro-choice statement. Is abortion wrong? Consider this: Jer 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Fact: This is not a special case...

Heaven #1: The atmosphere of earth. Heaven #2: Outer space. Heaven #3: God's heaven. But...as usual...the debate rages on.

The problem is the Edenic curse. Exactly what did God curse when mankind fell in Eden? Did God curse the entire creation, or just planet earth? Why would God curse EBE's on other planets for what Adam and Eve did? Or was the Edenic curse only placed upon Adam and Eve, and not on the actual...

Heb 9…”15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.” What is that “new covenant”...

Now I’ll ask you…Where in Holy Scripture is it ever emphatically, explicitly stated “Faith alone” is completely sufficient unto salvation? You’ll never find it. You will be compelled to try to defend that concept, doctrine, but Scripture NEVER asserts that. Be strong in the Lord of Hosts, and...

Rom 10:…”and with the mouth confession is made UNTO, or resulting in, SALVATION.” Righteousnes IS NOT salvation. You know this from this exact passage. Confession IS NOT a result of salvation. Confession is a prerequisite to salvation. This very passage confirms it beyond all doubt. You...

Gal 2:16 defines exactly what Paul refers to in Eph 2: “[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before...

Just so we can be perfectly clear: “Faith is not a work” is your personal statement, right? Because there is not a scripture in the entire bible that explicitly says that, right? But you do agree that there is nothing meritorious about faith, right?

There are a LOT of people here in “Christian Chat” that don’t even know exactly what their church believes and teaches. Practically everyone has been taught “Calvinism” their entire lives and don’t even know it. They insist “faith only and only faith alone” is what saves a man. And they...

I had baggage from multiple sources. From several churches, education, social issues, etc. I had lots of questions and still do, but learned a lot over the years. God bless.

Jesus answers two questions. Do you know what they were? Some would say question two was a compound question…having two parts. Mt 24:3.

No. I responded to the gospel, the good news. Not immediately though. I had serious “baggage”, lol.
