theology

By Albert Mohler Do we believe that hell is a part of the perfection of God’s justice? Are we embarrassed by the biblical doctrine of hell?...The lesson of theological liberalism is clear—embarrassment is the gateway drug for theological accommodation and denial. Be sure of this: it will not...

“having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,” (Ephesians 2:20, NASV). The apostles were only for the FOUNDATION of the Church, whilst the other ministries such as pastor and evangelist are for the entire history of the...

“1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: ….. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:1 and 5...

‘I and my Father are one.’ (John 10:30, KJV). ‘ego kai ho patar ev esmen: (John 10:30: The Nestles Greek text). ‘I ((Subject)) and ((conjunction)) my Father ((object)) are ((verb 1st-person-plural)) one ((adjective)).’ (John 10:30, KJV). Oneness people would need to explain the use...

1. The exact wordings and even the Greek prepositions differ widely between these so called Oneness baptismal proof texts found at Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19. At Acts 2:38 we read “in (εἰς eis) the name Jesus Christ,” at Acts 8:16 and 19:5 we read; “in (εἰς eis) the name Lord Jesus,” and lastly...

‘Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.’ (2nd John 3). The text here reads; ‘God the Father.’ I point this out because certain Oneness folk have at times suggested that the term ‘God the Father’ is an...

“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but...

I just wrote an article about Christian music, highlighting the band Skillet - who has been around a long time - and to me, doesn't represent true Christianity. I listen to Christian radio and hear a lot of catchy music with wrong messages that I just could not take it any longer. I think this...

Hello everyone I'm pretty much new here and seeking some answers but also to bond with fellow believers on this site. But onto the questions.. Are people born totally evil or made that way by the world around them? The reason I'm asking this question is because I've always pondered on whether...

I feel seriously bugged by this (among other things). Some say that if you turn away from the faith, then you were "never truly saved" or "weren't really Christian/were just pretending". How is that fair? Saying someone who honestly seeks answers, doesn't find them in Christ, and leaves the...

If yes, why would he create some human just to let them parish in Hell. Let's try and focus mostly on the doctrine of Election.

This thread will be something of a sequel to the thread found here and especially the main artery of that thread mapped out here. Needless to say, it properly belongs in the philosophy forum, but is placed here due to the (temporary?) closure of philosophy. We hear a lot about the essential...

I am selling my entire Logos Bible Software Library for $1975! I Purchased Reformed Bronze a few years ago and have added hundreds of $$$ worth of additional resources. I am currently trying to sell the entire library as one whole set. If you purchased each resource individually it would be...

Before Jesus public ministry began and during it as well, was Jesus a theologian? Did He have to study scripture in order to gain an understanding of it, or did He know it all already? Did He put any effort into the "study of the nature of God"?

I have started a new blog trying to answer the question "what is theology?" from as many perspectives as possible. I have started with the great Protestant Reformer Martin Luther. I am currently working on a Karl Barth answer and hope to continue on with other important theologians. I also want...

I FOUND THESE ROCKS IN MY YARD AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE ANCIENT RUINS AND NOT DEPOSITED BY GLACIERS WHAT ARE OUR LEADERS NOT TELLING US ABOUT AMERICA? HERE ARE MORE ANCIENT RUINS IN WEST VIRGINIA, DISCOVERED BY SOMEONE ELSE:

As it stands, I do not believe in the rapture but I am curious and always open to learn and so my question is, for those of you who do believe in the rapture, what brought you to that belief? And what biblical references back up that belief? Thanks!

Hello fellow Christians!! I am completely new to this site so please so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section (feel free to move this thread to the relevant section if so). I've come under the realisation this evening that I think I have been subjected to spiritual attack for the last...

Dear my brothers and sisters in Christ, A while ago I watched the movie "Padre Pio." In that movie, the "Catholic church authorities" (I don't know how I should address them) investigated Padre Pio's divine experience. At one scene, it showed that Padre Pio whispered to one of those authorities...

In a recent thread on the LDS concept of God, an LDS poster stated that "God had a father, who had a father, who had a father..." (and so on), which has me wondering: if God/gods in Mormonism are all the result of this kind of reproduction, then where does Mormonism's original God figure come...
