    John 10:25-27

    John 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (ESV) So, if the Armenian concept of...

    By Grace Through Faith

    So if we are save "By Grace" and it is "Through Faith" then it is Grace (of God) that saves us and the means is Faith.. (Ephesians 2:8) I posted this in a previous thread and I believe it bears repeating.. The question was why do some Christians struggle and fail while other seem to do well...

    Many Will Seek To Enter But Will Not Be Able

    Luke 13:23-25 How does this passage reconcile with the "Ask, Seek, Knock" passage? Ask and it will be answered, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. So if many seek to enter and will not be able, doesn't that seem to contradict the "Ask, Seek, Knock" verse? Matthew...

    The Struggling Of The Damned

    How do you know if you're really saved? Or Not? If you have besetting sins like most people do, how do you know you are not really on the wide path that leads to destruction? Maybe you have asked Jesus into your heart a hundred times. Every time being as sincere as you can imagine. Ask and it...

    So When Should News Be Able To Be Reported?

    So, there's the Trump gave the Russians classified info thing. So what? The President has the authority to declassify anything he wants to. The only illegal act that happened was that someone who was in the room told someone else or told the news. Either of those is illegal. I guess the Dems /...

    Trump Is The President Get Over It

    Interestingly enough no one cares that President Trump was sabotaged by Obama in Obama's final days by Obama breaking down the walls between the different intelligence agencies right before Obama left office. Suddenly they were allowed to share information between departments they were...

    Genesis 4:14-15

    Genesis 4:14-15 So Cain was afraid that anyone who saw him or I presume realized that he was Cain the brother slayer would kill him, so God "set a mark upon Cain" so that vengeance would be seven fold on anyone who killed Cain. So the question is, if Cain and Able are the only ones on the...

    Is it possible to be a Christian and not be a "people person"

    I know we are supposed to love God and love others, it's just the others thing I struggle with. I think in public I am general nice to people and I like to give money to the homeless people with the cardboard sign, but when I see the general selfishness of people whether it is in traffic or...

    Postmortem Conversion

    1 Peter 3:18-20 1 Peter 4:6 Wouldn't a straight literal reading of these passages at least open the possibility of postmortem conversion. It would seem that one has to do exegetical gymnastics to get around it. What happens to the indigenous peoples of the world who were never witnessed to that...

    Encouragement

    Four years ago tomorrow my wife passed away from a fairly rare auto-immune condition called auto immune hepatitis. Basically her immune system attacked her liver until it went into cirrhosis. Before she died she had a liver transplant which seemed to work for a while and then she started showing...

    Acts 19:2

    Acts 19:2 Have you received the Holy Spirit since you have believed? We haven't even heard of the Holy Spirit. They received the baptism of the Holy Spirit some time after they believed. This would prove that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate event after regeneration. The text...

    1 Corinthians 7:29

    Did Paul think that the 2nd coming of Christ was so close that the men who were married should be as those who were not for the Kingdom sake? So that they could travel and preach for Christ and His Kingdom? Is this a proof text that Paul thought that Jesus would return in his lifetime? 1 Cor...

    Schuyler Canterbury KJV

    I just purchased one of these bibles. It's expensive, but I think it will be worth it. I am not a KJV only person, but I did use the KJV exclusively for a time earlier in my life. It was a time when I was more focused on God and His Word. Maybe it's time to get back to the foundation. I saw this...
