A friend of mine showed me a new TShirt that he bought. It had a Christian(ish) message to it, and was made to look like a popular video game. In fact, you’d have to look pretty close to see that it wasn’t the popular video game. Why do marketers do this? And why do so […] The following “Widows and Orphans Assistance Program” application form was recently discovered in Selcuk, Turkey, at the archeological site for the ancient city of Ephesus. The exact dating is uncertain, but it appears to date back to approximately 80 AD. Skeptics have raised concerns about its validity, claiming that it is likely for a cult […] The other day I heard someone ask another person “Are you born again?” That strikes me as curious question. As any Bible student would quickly point out, the Bible uses a wide variety of figures of speech to refer to a person that’s been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. One wonders why some metaphors get […] The primary duty of man is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul and might. It goes without saying that we cannot love Him if we don’t know Him, just as we simply cannot know Him without studying His Word. To that end, a correct view of God is paramount if we are […] It has been properly noted that there are a number of passages in the Bible that sound like you can lose your salvation. Let us count the ways: Live in sin – Matt 6:15; Eph 5:3-5 Be arrogant/overconfident in your salvation – Rom 11:18-22 Revert back to Mosaic Law – Gal 5:2-4 Deny/forsake Christ – […] If you’ve ever wanted to take a look at Susa, the city where Esther was queen, check out this site: http://imperiopersaaquemenida.blogspot.com/2011/08/susa-amenazada-por-la-construccion-de.html The other day I was challenged to show that God saves and comforts His people by destroying His enemies. The person showed some familiarity with 2 Thess 2, but apparently wasn’t aware of the impact of 2 Thess 1. The following is my response to him. This list is by no means exhaustive. What I […] In 2 Cor 4, who is the “god of this age”? And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the […] On the question of Free Will vs Predestination, some people would say that people who believe in Free Will do not agree with those of us who believe in Predestination. Actually, we do agree on one point: we both agree that they have been predestined to think they have Free Will. When it comes to differences of faith, we often repeat the saying “In essentials, Unity. In non-essentials, Diversity. In all things, Charity.” While this is a necessary process, we have to first determine who gets to decide what is essential and what is not? What criteria do they use? Where do they get their criteria, […] |
