[…] and serve the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent.” More recently, Edward D. Andrews, CEO and President of Christian Publishing House, wrote, “The Bible affirms that there is only one true God, one mediator between God and humanity, and one way of salvation through Jesus Christ.” In our postmodern world, […]

[…] a Biblical precedent for this. In our conversation, my Korean friend in her anguish mentioned the cries of Abel, the first victim of murder recorded in the Bible. When Cain killed his brother Abel because of his jealousy, God came to him and asked him, “Where is your brother?” Cain replied, “I don’t know. […]
[…] Romans. There is a focus on His clash between Judas Iscariot, and His relationship with Mary Magdalene. Biblical Failures There are numerous points of departure from the Bible. In summary, Jesus is not considered divine but instead a man with good intentions who becomes overwhelmed by His fame and wants out. Christ decides the […]
[…] God wanted to love us because He is love. It is certainly correct that God loves us, but is this really the reason why He created us? The Bible tells us exactly why God created man. Gen 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have […]
[…] Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” If one believes in the Bible, in its entirety as the inerrant Word of God, there is no ambiguity in what is being said as relates to other faith traditions. And if […]
[…] word apologetics comes from the Greek apologia, meaning “defense” or “reasoned argument.” It’s not about saying, I’m so sorry I believe in Jesus — it’s about saying, Here’s why I believe what I believe. The Bible instructs us to be ready to explain our faith when the opportunity arises: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to […]
[…] group of sinners, it is because they are looking through the lens of a sinless eternity and/or missing the reality of their own nature (John 8:10-12).” The Bible is clear when it says that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). That includes the lost and the saved. […]
[…] article throughout mine, and I recommend reading it as well. I looked into this because I saw a post with a simple question about something in the Bible. I got the impression they were a new Christian, and the question was simple. They were asking about Noah and something to the effect of if […]
[…] confidence in God. There are two ways (probably more) that grow our sense of confidence in God and His promises. The first is the Word in the Bible. Searching the scriptures and internalizing the promises to each of us as followers of Christ can solidify our identity in Him. These are the most basic […]
[…] them demonic or of Satan… or false teachers is a bit extreme. Having read parts of the Quran and the Vedas, they have similar teachings to the Bible. For me, it’s insightful and good to know what others believe. It provides perspective to me and strengthens my own faith.” My Response – Summarized Jews consider […]
[…] without perspective” being “detrimental to faith,” I would respectfully disagree. There is nothing wrong, and much that is right, with seeking Christian commentaries, theologically sound preaching, and Bible Studies in order to gain God’s deeper “truths”… in order to strengthen our “faith.” However, we don’t need to read the Hindu Vedas, the Quran, or […]
[…] the Author of the story of our lives and can write anything He wants, as Tolkien did? Frodo was not given an instruction manual for life (the Bible) by Tolkien as we are. I believe the reason was that God, in some cases of which we don’t know when… exhibits foreknowledge rather than predestination […]
[…] call it fear mongering and frankly most Christian folks, even anonymously on Medium, stay away from the downside of eternity. However, one just needs to read the Bible to be reminded that the reality of unforgiven sin is part of who God is, a righteous judge, regardless of whether humanity can understand, much less […]
[…] invest so much in what we can see, but what if the most valuable things can’t be seen at all? Biblical Perspective In 2 Corinthians 4:18, the Bible says: “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is […]
[…] those who trust in Him. Conclusion The idea of “hating the sin but loving the sinner” risks oversimplifying the profound truth of God’s relationship with humanity. The Bible presents a more nuanced view, where God’s justice and love are inseparably intertwined. He hates sin and judges it, but He also extends His love and […]
[…] Fire beyond Satan in the first verse, and Satan and his demons in the second, does not mean there are not other eternal inhabitants in Hell. The Bible needs to be viewed as a complete and integrated work. In the case of these two verses, the context surrounding them focus on the supernatural, not […]
[…] this point was, “Or we more than likely won’t see anything!” Imagine living a life on earth believing it is “more than likely” that God, Christ, the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and the Christian life in general, are an illusion. That, “more than likely” those who reject Christ will not face the Great White […]
[…] It is certainly appealing and, from a human perspective, a reasonable expectation from a loving God. However, if one believes God is communicating to us through the Bible, rather than believing in our own sense of justice or fairness, then it is incumbent on mankind to accept that a loving God is also going […]
[…] a difference in these two concepts that is irrelevant to the lost, but fundamental to the Biblical Christian. Translations are not Clear If one checks out various Bible translations of Titus 1:2, the title of this post surfaces…. NIV – in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning […]
[…] and told her “That potato is not a Christian.” A Christian is a person who has a new heart. God never changes the old heart: for the bible says it is desperately wicked and cannot be cured. God says that it is so “deceitful above all things,” that none can know it. You cannot […]
[…] and they did some serious soul-searching. But they did continue to obey and trust. And what became of it? Seth had a son named Enosh, and the Bible says during that time, men began to call on the name of the Lord. Was this the first revival, born out of failure, trust, and obedience? […]
[…] of the Lord so as to instruct him?But we have the mind of Christ.” It is true that we, as Christians, do have added insight into the Bible (Luke 24:45), but much remains a mystery (Romans 11:34) on this side of the grave. So, the deep question underlying your question is… why would a […]
[…] Lord, partly due to the perception that it will restrict our freedoms to do what we want to do, when we want to do it. Though the Bible is an instruction manual for the life of the believer, and, He does expect to be obeyed, the Lord is abounding in grace and love for […]
[…] sexual immorality. Often in Scripture, God’s wrath or judgment on this earth was used to draw the sinner back toward fellowship with the Father. Higher Standards The Bible warns those who would consider a leadership role in the church to have a clean personal life (1 Tim. 3:4-5) and, if they do fall, they […]
[…] in context, however, the purpose for believers to assemble together is powerful: to help each other remain faithful to God in living for Him! The World English Bible states it this way: “let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for He who promised is faithful. Let us consider how to […]
The darkest, most dangerous places in this country are not the streets of Chicago or the subways of New York. The Bible reminds us that we are not to fear death, but to fear the aftermath of death. Matthew 10:28 – And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the […]
[…] all about the success of a select geographic group of mankind, stuffed between Canada and Mexico. Then there is the question… why is America not in the Bible (for most theologians that choose not to turn Scripture into knots)? Are we headed the direction of the dodo bird? Looking at the world around us, […]
[…] ready for a revival… or the end of time. We can see signs of growing Biblical Christianity in the midst of a continuously darkening world. For example… Bible sales have skyrocket over the last few years, yet so have the religious “nones.” Those who identify as evangelicals are growing in numbers, but churches continue […]
[…] many reading this I understand what I am about to say will appear disrespectful and I apologize for that. However, from my vantage point of accepting the Bible as a guide, we are talking about matters that impact our eternal state of either bliss or pain. If you believed that your closest friend or […]
[…] words have we read over and over again, only to go our way, convincing ourselves that we really heard something different? Just pick a verse from the Bible, perhaps one that makes a bold claim or gives a direct command. Do you hear it as it reads to you, literally accepting the words that […]
[…] to cure Moses’ headache? He gave him two tablets. The Ten Commandments, a covenant given by God to Moses (Exodus 20:2-17) on Mt. Sinai. As with the full Bible, including the New Testament to follow, this document written on two stone tablets, was inscribed by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18). 1. Thou shalt not have […]
[…] to explain away our faith through the lens of their fears that our worldview may be correct, which puts them at odds with the God of the Bible. Some point to the God of the Old Testament and call Him unjustified in His love for some (the Jews) and apparent willingness to sacrifice others […]
[…] didn’t just exist. I was brought into existence by a sovereign God. But the question remained why? There may be many answers to that question in the Bible, but I will share the one that gave me a reason to exist. Here it goes- Deuteronomy 10: 12 And now, Israel, what does the LORD […]
[…] often prioritizes short-term efficiency and convenience, frequently at the expense of sustainability. Buildings and policies for temporary use reflect a lack of long-term vision and responsibility. The Bible offers a better example. Noah’s Ark (Genesis 6:13–22) and Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 6) were monumental projects rooted in obedience to God’s purposes, not human vanity. […]
[…] that Rahab was saved due to her righteous act of lying? Is Lying Always a Sin or are there Exceptions If there are exceptions, why is the Bible so outspoken (perhaps 30 verses here) on lying being a sin punishable by eternity in Hell, or the need for repentance and the grace the God […]
[…] of the first “Soup Kitchens” for the unemployed, serving over 120k meals to the hungry. Of course that is not what he was most remembered for. The Bible is a love story between God and man. However, within its pages is the recognition that we will be held responsible for our sins unless we […]
[…] a symbol of rebellion and frustration. Yet, as Christians, we are called to reflect the justice, mercy, and love of Christ — not the chaos of the world. The Bible warns in Matthew 24:12: And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. Let’s not allow our love to grow cold. Let’s stand […]
[…] Father” — Phillipians 2:9–11 Jesus was born, He lived a real life, and He died a real death, but that’s not the end of the story. The Bible tells us that Jesus is alive. He rose again, conquering death, so that we won’t have to face punishment ourselves, if only we trust in Him. The main […]
[…] not after they’ve endured their suffering but when they are stuck in the middle of it [see Romans 5:1–5]. In perhaps a more overlooked part of the Bible, the Lord speaks through the Prophet Joel to His people and says: Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for […]
