Where is Scriptures does it say that we will keep the Sabbath in heaven? The Sabbath Day observance was part of the National Covenant between God and the nation of Israel. Jesus fulfilled that covenant perfectly during His lifetime of obedience to the Father and His death on the cross. In...

Hello and thank you for your question. What you have stated is a good beginning, but believing these things alone will not result in saving faith. James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. Mere intellectual believe will not save you. Of...

What is the difference between Christians who claim theistic evolution and those with a Christian Worldview? I am not claiming here that a Christian must believe in any Creation Theory in order to be saved. The bible makes it clear that those who are saved are those who have a saving...

I am referring of course to Matthew 12, where the Pharisees deny the power of the Holy Spirit at work in casting out demons. In Jesus' day, prophets were tested to see if they were true prophets of God. According to Jewish records, no prophet was respected who did not perform miracles and signs...

There have been many discussions in this forum concerning old earth creation vs. young earth creation. I have been on the old earth part of that discussion in the past, while admitting that the so called scientific evidence is inconclusive at best, and that there is a good argument for a young...

Consider the following bible passage from Revelation 14: 9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full...

I was recently involved in a conversation at work where the topic of churches not paying taxes was brought up. One of the people there made the statement that in order for churches to get 501c status for not paying taxes, the church leaders had to actually swear an oath to the the U.S...

Part 1 America's Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. PresidentNever give the devil a ride….he will always want to drive. This needs to be read by every Christian in the U.S., Republican or Democrat. Click on the blue number at end of each statement to substantiate the statement. David Barton...

One of the biggest arguments presented by Atheists to show that God doesn’t exist is the problem of suffering in the world. There are two versions of this argument. First, there is a logical version which claims that it is impossible for God and suffering to coexist, and secondly, an...

We hear a lot about the lack of unity in the Protestant churches today. The last figures that I have seen claim about 33,000 denominations. While these figures are exagerated in that many of these denominations are geographical in context, rather than posing creedal differences, it is certainly...

The following is taken from The Eternal Kingdom, by F.W. Mattox. 325 AD The Council of Nicaea exalted the bishops of Rome, Antioch, and Alexandria to the position of patriarchs (or Metropolitans) and gave them charge over the Church in their respective provinces, placing all bishops under the...

This thread is in response to some in here who think that the soul dies with the body when our flesh dies. You are correct in that we are made up of both our bodies and our spirits. It is unnatural for our spirits to be absent from our bodies, and yet that is exactly what takes place when we...

I have noticed in this forum that many will go to any lengths to defend their pet traditional beliefs. This digging in to defend one's territory at all costs, results in polemical discussions and often polarized views in which nothing can be agreed upon. This mirrors the real world, in which...

There are many in this forum who believe that we cannot use reason to interpret scriptures. While biblical truths are "spiritually discerned", reason is often the vehicle in which that truth is delivered. The following is from the book Systematic Theology, by Wayne Grudem, Inter-Varsity Press...

Luke 16: 1 Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.' 3 "The manager said to himself...

There has been a lot of discussion in this forum about end time events, and especially how one is to interpret the book of revelation. Of course, the book of revelation must be interpreted within the context of who wrote it, who it was written to, and the possible reasons for it's writing in...

The bible is a witness that Jesus is the Christ. John 17: 20 "My prayer is not for them alone. [the apostles]I pray also for those who will believe in me through their [gospel] message, [that would be us]21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they...

Where is the temple of God today? Now we know that God is both immanent and transcendent. As such, we know that no building can hold God, (1 Kings 8:27). And yet, God has in the past claimed certain places as special residences for His spirit. The Old Testament temple was called the “house...

I was wondering, what does everyone think of the doctrine of illumination? Do you believe that as we read the bible, that Holy Spirit interprets it for us, or that we must study it, using proper hermeneutics and exegetical principles to understand it's message? If we truly do get a direct...
