    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    You have not yet provided scripture that preaches another Gospel than that of Jesus Christ. A promise to Israelite to give them a promised land is not another Gospel, but simply a promise. The ultimate Promise of God has always been the indwelling and eternal Holy Spirit given by faith in the...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Yes. When I was saved, Salvation came by Grace thru Faith. I cannot separate my Faith from my Salvation because my Faith is authored and gifted by Jesus Christ, who is my Salvation, full Grace and Truth. This is from my human perspective. But from God's perspective, who sees the end from the...

    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    No. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only Gospel in all of the Scriptures. It was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden and to all the OT saints, and because of this, all the believing people of God have looked forward to Jesus Christ, from Adam to us. God made many various promises to His...

    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    The only Gospel in the Scriptures is the Gospel of Jesus Christ...namely His death for sin, burial, and resurrection. If you think there is another Gospel in Scripture, it is not any Gospel at all. If you disagree and believe the Scriptures teach another Gospel than this, please share the...

    What is the correct view on genesis

    The ones who take it literally are right. God will never condemn someone for taking a parable literally, but He will condemn people who only take His literal Word metaphorically.

    Being honest:

    We are saved because Jesus gives us His Spirit, washing our soul and making our spirit new. And the Spirit is a "downpayment" and "Promise" that God will also redeem our sinful bodies, delivering us from our bodies of sin and death. So we are both "saved" now since we have the Spirit and we...

    What is the Mark of the Beast?

    This is the EXACT Mark of the Beast, just as Jesus showed it to John on Patmos. There is no deeper Wisdom as to what the Mark of the Beast is then what is already written, as Jesus Christ says "Here is Wisdom.." and PLAINLY gave us the EXACT Mark of the Beast. PS. I have already personally...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    I guess you're asking "Which came first, your salvation or your faith?" My answer is BOTH.... they are One and the same. Jesus Christ is both my Salvation and the Author and Perfecter of my Faith.

    When did the church start?

    Depends what you mean by "Church". Since Christ is the head of the Church, Christ has always existed, so you can say the Church has always existed. If you mean people who have the Spirit of Christ (besides Jesus), then it started with Adam. If you are speaking of New Covenant believers filled...

    How were the O T saints saved?

    The OT saints were saved by Grace thru Faith in the coming Seed of the Woman, the Son of David, who would be the Atoning sacrifice for sins. They died in Faith, believing that God who had promised to come, would come in the flesh and remove their sins. NT and OT saints both have the same...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    I love Derek Prince. TB Joshua also is great to watch to understand spiritual warfare. To know if a Christian can have a demon, you have to understand the Body, Mind, Soul, and Spirit. The Mind is like a tree with roots that go down into the soul. The Soul also is in the branches of the...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Nothing is wrong with dunking a baby. But when those false prophets tell you the child is now "In God's family, the Church" because they dunked it in water, they're lying to you. That child is no more Born of God than a baby otter coming out of the river.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Well I'll be! Now they's dunkin' babies! LOL. There's not a thing that does for a baby but make him wet. He's got no idea what's happening to him and he's not responding to God when they do that. That baby hasn't believed and repented like all the disciples of John the Baptist did. He's not...

    Climate Change is real

    I believe in climate change. It changes every day. Sometimes it's 68 Degrees outside and sunny. Other times it's 90 degrees and humid.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    "Baptize" means "to submerge/dip/dunk". And I've never seen anyone dunk a baby, so despite what they call it, no babies are actually getting baptized. They're just getting sprinkled.

    What happens to the devil at the end...

    An ode to Satan.... *Singing* "The Lake of Fire is the place for Thee....The Lake of Fire is the place you'll be"

    Interesting correlation between God and light...

    The Word says "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all" 1 John 1:5
