How were people saved in the Old Testament times before the cross? Was it by works or was it by grace?

So I was listening to a sermon and the preachers used these 2 verses back to back to point out what seems like a total conflict. Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for...

Lets try to have a respectable discussion. So we know that God gave the 10 commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai. My question is, did the 10 commandments exist before then. Like when did taking God's name in vain start being a sin, or when did lying and stealing start being a sin?

We were discussing this issue at church recently and I want to hear your opinions. 1. What is the difference between the fruits of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit. 2. Does one need to have the gifts of the spirit as evidence of the holy spirit or is it the fruits of the spirit that is...

Hey guys. Been doing some research lately into both the books that some claim were left out of the bible and also comparing many of the versions of the bible that use today. Here are just a few scriptures for comparison. Are these just grammatical differences or does it give a different meaning...

So this is a question I have been thinking about and I would like if someone can share their belief on this. We have many accounts of people who were dead and were resurrected. Lazarus is a prime example but there are examples of these instances in both the OT and NT. If when someone dies...

So I was reading Daniel 2 recently and reviewing the vision that the king had. As I see it, the vision was basically an overview of the kingdoms that shall rule the world from his time down to the time when Jesus shall put all the manmade governments to an end and establish his kingdom. My...

It is an increasing believe among Christians that for the christian, Jesus Christ has forgiven all our sins; past, present and future. My question is, what is the biblical basis or proof that Jesus has forgiven all of our future sins and if so, what is the point of asking for forgiveness for...

Many Christians make reference to Christ's completed work at the cross. But based on some facts pointed out in the bible, Christ's work was not done at the cross. The book of Hebrews clearly points out that Jesus is now our high priest ministering in the heavenly sanctuary. Heb 8:1 Now...

Anyone else heard about this? "In its latest attempt to keep up with the times the Vatican has married one of its oldest traditions to the world of social media by offering "indulgences" to followers of Pope Francis' tweets. The church's granted indulgences reduce the time Catholics...

I have a question for everyone who believes in Theistic Evolution. I know most or all of you do not believe in a literal reading of the book of Genesis. I want to ask a question based on the following scripture: Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin...

In the Old Testament there are certain things stated that seems very strange and pointless. Even many mature Christians cannot make sense of some of these. I am talking about questions like: Why a woman was considered unclean after she gave birth and after her period for a length of days Did...
