  • Romans: The Most Important Teaching

    Reading the bible can be a taunting task for the new believer. I recommend to anyone that doesn’t know where to begin to start with the book of Romans. Do you want to know why Paul’s letter to the Romans is arguably the most important book in scripture? The apostle Paul received revelation from the…

  • Parable of Rich Man and Lazarus does not teach Hell

    What does it teach — I was once sitting in the pastor’s office at a baptist church and one of the churchgoers told me that ‘the rich man and Lazarus’ proves eternal hell. I responded that this was a parable. He said, “So, that doesn’t mean its not literal and real.” Really? “Can a dead…

  • We must know WHERE our decisions come from in order to know God

    The absolute vs. the relative viewpoint If I bowled a strike, did I knock the pins down or did the bowling ball knock the pins down? Well, both are correct one would say. In a relative sense, the bowling ball did. However, in the absolute sense, I did because of my control of the ball.…

  • The Calvinist Straw man and the robot argument

    John Calvin did not invent God’s sovereignty. So why do many Christians use ‘Calvinism’ to attempt to prove human free-will and diminish God’s authority? My belief is that religious people use ‘Calvinism’ to categorize scriptures that they cannot explain. Scriptures that prove God’s sovereignty and completely disprove human free will are not Calvinism, but scripture.…

  • God giving us a free-will is not love, but saving us is…

    an earful on God’s justice – We have all heard this before: “God would not force His love on anyone. He wants us to choose Him and if we do not, His love allows us to make that choice.” Therefore, the thought is that God loves us and wants us to choose Him, but gave…

  • Justification is the Gift from God, not Free-Will

    Romans 3:10-11 says that “Not one is just” — not even one. Romans 3:23 says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Paul says these things to get people to understand that no human can be just without God. So, why do religious people always claim to have done something…

  • 3 Questions that prove Christian Contradiction

    Question 1: Is God love? Question 2: Is God sovereign? Question 3: If the answer to question 1 and 2 is yes, then why are all men not saved? The answer to question 3 directly contradicts either question 1 or question 2, or both. The fact of scripture says the answer to question 3 is…

  • Christianity Drives People from God’s Righteousness

    Scripture tells us how Satan deceives. In short, the Adversary becomes the very thing the masses believe he opposes. Most people think that this wily serpent opposes Christianity and that is exactly why he became Christianity. 13 For such are false apostles, fraudulent workers, being transfigured into apostles of Christ.14 And no marvel, for Satan…

  • Man’s Righteousness minimizes God’s

    Those that seek to establish their own righteousness, miss the righteousness of God Let’s imagine that every argument goes something like this: One side is always maximizing Christ’s accomplishment and minimizing man’s righteousness, while the other side is always minimizing Christ’s accomplishment and maximizing man’s righteousness. Which side would you like to be on? I…

  • Everything serves this goal: God All in all

    Do we have a ‘free-will’ when God is our All? When presented with undeniable scripture that proves Jesus Christ saves all creation through the blood of the cross…Why do Christians think this would cause people to sin more? What do I mean? Well, our goal is to walk worthily of the calling. The problem with…
