  • Why does God subject us to SUFFERING, VANITY, and DISOBEDIENCE?

    Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why did Jesus have to suffer? Great questions that I think religion does a poor job of answering. 10 For it became Him, because of Whom all is, and through Whom all is, in leading many sons into glory, to perfect the Inaugurator of their salvation…

  • ‘New Creation’ or ‘Born Again?’

    How ‘trying to be like Christ’ can keep you from Truth- Why are people NOT ILLUMINATED by the evangel of the glory of Christ? Why does Christ, the Image of the invisible God, not irradiate them (2 Corinthians 4:4)? Could it be because too many Christians and religious people are focused on the flesh of…

  • The Creation of Sin and Satan

    Did God miss the mark? What could God have done to ensure that His creation would never know the depths of His love, reconciliation, and grace?

  • Why do Christians Glorify God’s Enemies?

    What happens to God’s enemies in the end? I mean, the end of the ages of time, the consummation. Whether a creature, principality, philosophy, power or death itself—what happens to all of God’s enemies in the end? THEY ARE ABOLISHED! Done away with, rendered inoperative, no longer in existence in God’s creation. I’ll get to…

  • Can Poor Behavior Keep us from Salvation?

    Paul’s letter to the Corinthians proves poor behavior is dealt with but salvation can NEVER be lost BECAUSE salvation is based on Christ, not our behavior We must always keep in mind Paul’s message of grace when he exhorts people to behave. It is this: We are saved by Christ’s death for sin, His entombment,…

  • 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…
