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),…

Not Understanding Evil Leads to False Doctrine
Understanding the origin and purpose of evil is essential in knowing the one true God. Not understanding that God created evil for a specific, good purpose allows for people to create false doctrines to justify their ignorance. God created evil (Isaiah 45:7) plain and simple. Evil, in the hands of God, works to complete and…

Was Sin and Evil God’s Intention or not?
That evil exists in the world is fair to say, I think. So, when addressing the problem of evil, we have to ask one question: Was evil a creation intended by God or did evil enter the universe without God’s intention, created by someone or something else? First, it would be beneficial to define the…

‘Ignorance of Evil’ is a Root of Christian Deception
Evil Introduction We have been told a lie about evil. For so long, religion and society have taught us that evil was created by Satan and has invaded God’s creation against the Almighty’s will. From the very beginning, we have credited Satan with being a creator of something that changes God’s own creation for all…
