When Did God Give Us Free Will? Scripture’s Answer: Never 1. God Wrote Our Story Before It Began (Psalm 139:16) David declares:“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” From the womb, before our first breath, every detail of…

Stop Treating God Like He’s Just a Bigger Version of Us Romans 1:23 warns against exchanging “the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the likeness of corruptible man.” People quote that verse all the time, but deep down, many hate what it actually means — because it exposes how often we think of God…

Is Grace Really Free? “Free grace.” Christians love that phrase. But think about it: free? Christ went through the cross. He bore sin, entered death itself, and destroyed its power (Hebrews 2:14). That wasn’t free—it cost Him everything. When people call grace “free,” they reveal that their focus is on themselves, not on Christ. They measure…

Introduction: Paul’s Radical Gospel Even critics who claim the gospel has been twisted, or that Jesus Himself was nothing more than a deception, have no real argument against Paul’s message. Why? Because to purposely corrupt something, you must first understand it. Yet most who dismiss it have never grasped what Paul actually proclaimed. Paul’s gospel…

Paul’s Proof: All Are Under Sin Paul pulls no punches. He doesn’t flatter mankind. He doesn’t offer loopholes. He declares with divine authority that every single human being is under sin—not some, not most, but all. And this truth offends both the religious in his day and the religious today. Scripture Testimony Paul declares all humanity—religious…

People say Paul is a false apostle? Of course they do—because they hate his gospel. Think about it: if someone were going to “doctor Scripture” to push a false agenda, what would they add? Would they add, “all are saved” (Romans 5:18–19; 1 Timothy 4:10), “God does it all” (Philippians 2:13), or “where sin increases, grace superabounds” (Romans 5:20)? Not a chance.…

A Detailed look at God’s Intimate Sovereignty A potter’s work is one of the most intimate and hands-on crafts in existence, and Scripture’s comparison of God as the Potter and us as the clay (Romans 9:21, Isaiah 64:8) is far richer when you understand what that actually involves. The Potter’s Detailed Process When a potter…

Christ’s Preexistence: The Glory He Had Before the World Began In John 17:5, Jesus prays to the Father: “And now, Father, glorify Me in Your own presence with the glory that I had with You before the world existed.” Here, the words matter — every single one. Jesus says “I” had this glory. Not an impersonal “concept.”…

Paul’s Gospel: Timeless, Universal, and Still for Us Today There’s a growing claim in some circles that only certain letters of Paul apply to the Body of Christ today—either because they were written before Acts 28 or because they were “only written to Jews.” But here’s the problem with that: sin and death haven’t changed, and…
