    Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way. - A. W. Tozer

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    That statement is completely backward. God does not judge based on what we accept as truth, He judges based on what He declares to be true. Truth is not relative, and it’s not determined by personal belief, opinion, or organizational doctrine. God’s Word is truth (John 17:17), and He has already...

    The curse of ignorance

    I believe you're right to see that the fall of man brought more than just physical death and suffering, it brought spiritual blindness and confusion. Scripture confirms this. In Romans 1:21–22, it says, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but...

    Don't fall into the trap, of thinking your faith is solely your doing - it is your doing in part, but praise God daily

    God is never surprised by anything. He is all-knowing, omniscient, which means He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9–10). Nothing catches Him off guard, including our faith. Hebrews 4:13 says, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked...

    What you're saying sounds like the beginning of a common misunderstanding that people use to deny the full deity of Jesus Christ. But the Bible is clear: while Jesus did not speak on His own accord in the sense of acting independently from the Father, that does not mean He is less than God. In...

    You did not answer my question to you: Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? The deity of Christ is in the Bible, but not in the version you use, which has been deliberately altered by men to fit their false doctrine. Your translation removes or distorts key verses that clearly declare who Jesus is...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told: You’re Fine Just as You Are

    The sealing of the Holy Spirit, as described in Ephesians 1:13-14 and Ephesians 4:30, is indeed a mark of ownership and security for those who are truly born again. But let’s be clear, this sealing is not a license to continue in sin. The idea that someone can genuinely be born of God and yet...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    I don’t need a false teacher from a cult that denies the deity of Jesus Christ and rewrites the Bible to fit their doctrine to tell me how I should act or respond. You're right, I’m absolutely not open to anything that contradicts the Word of God, because I stand on the truth of Scripture alone...

    "If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for." ~ Charles Spurgeon

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor or leader is teaching heresy, others should be warned as soon as it becomes clear that what is being taught directly contradicts the truth of Scripture and the person refuses to repent after being confronted. Romans 16:17 says, “Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary...

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor began to teach heresy, teaching something that clearly contradicts the Word of God, it must be addressed. Scripture gives us instruction on this. Paul tells Timothy, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear” (1 Timothy 5:20). When false doctrine is taught publicly...

    What would you do if …

    If a pastor began to teach heresy, anything that contradicts the clear truth of Scripture, I would confront it directly and call it out. There are way too many Preachers that are teaching false doctrine today and not standing up for the truths of the Bible. The Bible commands us to “test...

    I love this for Easter—it makes me think of how Jesus must feel when false teachers keep spreading their lies in His name, betraying Him all over again like Judas did. Petra - Judas' Kiss

    I draw the line when false teachers try to deceive others and contaminate my threads with false doctrine. Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? If so, that explains the direction of your questions. Let me be clear, JW doctrine is false, and it denies the true identity of Jesus Christ as fully God, which...

    I appreciate your interest in digging deep into these topics, but these questions really have nothing to do with the original point of my post. If you're genuinely looking for discussion on the 144,000, the great multitude, or distinctions between groups in Revelation, I’m sure you’ll get plenty...

    Yes, there absolutely is a “big picture” that runs from Genesis to Revelation, and it centers on God’s plan to redeem a people for Himself through Jesus Christ. In Genesis, we see the creation of a perfect world and the introduction of sin through man’s rebellion. That sin brought separation...

    Yes, this was absolutely the experience of the first-century Christians. When someone truly repents and believes in Jesus Christ, they are born again and adopted into God’s family. Romans 8:15–16 explains it clearly: “You have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba...
