    Who really goes to Hell?

    Your premise is they go to hell because they 'heard the word of God' and did not accept it, therefore, I voted 'none'. To enter heaven, one must be 'born from above' (Read about Nicodemus...John 3 kjv...that is, if you are seriously bothered by this and want to be satisified) and this New Birth...

    Do you know why a Christian cannot willfully sin

    Paul, one of the faith's greatest theologians, and definitely, undeniably in heaven with his Lord, stated the following: For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. (Romans 7:15) Sounds very much like he is saying he willfully sinned (what I...

    What sends a person to hell...?

    Finally, after being judged for their works, the absence of their names in the Lamb's Book of Life written from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 20).

    Free or not?

    Adam and Eve were created sinless, in that they have not violated any given law, since before the prohibition on the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, there was no law to violate. Were they spiritually alive ? No. They were physically alive, but there is nothing in the Scripture...

    Are There People in Hell Because of You?

    I couldn't care less if somebody went to hell. Because that matter is out of my hands, your hands, or anybody's hands. I don't think you're an avid Bible reader, nor are you, at this point, "born again". If you were, you would "see" the kingdom of God, and how it was populated. It was populated...

    What controversial beliefs do you hold?

    I don't believe in helping God populate His heaven, so I don't believe the gospel saves anyone in the eternal sense.

    I am an atheist. Please convince me that Christianity is the answer

    you're a Roman Catholic. Roman Catholics do not believe the Bible is the only source of rule and practice. Why should I waste time on you ? Do YOU believe the Bible is the ONLY book for faith ?

    Repent of your sins ( Heresy?)

    Repentance comes after, not before, regeneration, or quickening of the Spirit, or what many call "born again". There is no repentance required for past sins, but, as one is made conscious of sin in his TIMELY life, then the Bible says we ought to turn away from it. One does not repent to get...

    Loving the Unelect

    First of all, you need to define and determine what you mean by "love". Do you love even the one who is about to slit your throat ? If a loved one is raped, murdered, or harmed in any way, shape, or form, do you love the perpetrator/s and will you yourself spare them from harm ? If you found...

    Can I be saved

    If you're a member of Steven Anderson's church, and he's the pastor who had that issue with the border patrol, my sincerest suggestion is find another church. He had every right to refuse the officer's instructions, but, did he have to exercise that right just because he can ? Didn't the Bible...

    Salvation Before Jesus

    So, yeah, I kept on studying and puzzling. Until I came to Isaiah 28: 9-10, which said: Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line...

    Salvation Before Jesus

    You really have valid and fair questions. Now, I know that a long answer can be boring, but among "Christendom" today, my people (Primitive Baptists) are few, who hold to the doctrine that I will come to, and so, I had to give you context on how I came to the answer to your question, so this...

    How are infants saved?

    Hi. Here is the Scripture you quoted: Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Well, Scripture says that from the foundation of the world, God, in His mercy and grace, elected a people for Heaven (Rev. 13:8, Eph. 1:4). These people like every human being...
