  • Jesus Didn’t Die for Possibilities – He Died for Certainties

    The Cross Covered It All — No Exceptions, No Add-Ons I often hear people say things like, “You must repent,” or “You must choose,” or “You must have faith” in order for the cross of Christ to apply to you. These statements sound spiritual, but they carry a dangerous assumption — that our actions somehow make Christ’s work effective. Scripture says…

  • Death and Near Death, What Really Happens? Hell and Fire

    What Really Happens in Death? In death, there is no eternal torture. In death, we are not alive somewhere else, floating around in another realm. In death, we simply know nothing at all. “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing whatsoever…”(Ecclesiastes 9:5) The Bible repeatedly compares death to sleep—a state of…

  • Christianity’s Greatest Sin: Christ’s Cross was not Enough!

    I recently received a comment from someone who said, “God invented hell because He knew people would sin.” That one statement perfectly captures the tragic confusion that religion creates. Think about it: God created hell because He knew we would sin? Really? I always thought God sent Jesus Christ because He knew we would sin. That’s the Gospel. That’s the point…

  • Let Go of the Christian God and His Eternal Hell!

    Eternal Hell Is Not in the Bible — Here’s Why Let’s start with something surprising: the “hell” that Jesus spoke about isn’t a mystical place of eternal fire — it’s a real, physical location. You can go visit it today. It’s called Gehenna, or the Valley of Hinnom, just outside Jerusalem. Yes, the same place where you…

  • God’s Book: Who Really Writes Your Story?

    God’s Book: Who Really Writes Your Story? Is life a series of unpredictable choices? Are we charting our own course through the universe with the mighty force of “free will”? Or… is everything — absolutely everything — part of a divine script written by God Himself? Let’s take a close look at Psalm 139:16: “Your eyes…

  • Judas and Law Prove God’s Sovereignty

    Another clear example in Scripture of God planning human disobedience is the case of Judas Iscariot. We can all agree that it was God’s intention for His Son to die on the cross to save humanity. For that purpose to be accomplished, Judas’ betrayal was necessary. So, was Judas using his so-called “free will” when he betrayed Jesus, or…

  • God’s Rebuke to Christians Today

    Stop the Phony Dance: Paul’s Rebuke to the Galatians and Today’s Christians This is a continuation of my previous article titled The Christian Phony Dance Between Law and Grace. Let’s turn to the apostle Paul and hear how he addressed this very issue nearly 2,000 years ago: “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very…

  • God Alone has Free-Will

    Does Human Disobedience Prove ‘Free Will’? Many people claim that Adam and Eve made a “free will” choice in the Garden of Eden. But let’s pause for a moment: Where exactly does Scripture say that God gave humanity this so-called “free will” to begin with? Nowhere. So why do people assume it? The usual answer is this:…

  • What Actually Happened on the Cross?

    Christianity is a religion, but the cross of Christ is not. In fact, the cross is where religion—and everything else—comes to die. The cross marks the end of all religion, all striving, all human attempts to reach God on our own terms. Think about it: the cross ends all the foolish stories people cling to, the political…

  • Evil Leads to God’s Salvation

    How God Uses Evil to Bring Salvation As mentioned before, in order to truly become children of God, we must come to know both good and evil. That’s why God created the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. In Hebrew, the word for “evil” is ra, and its root, according to Strong’s Concordance (#7489),…
