The best part of all of this is this: the people who teach "salvation by choice" can't thwart God's plan. Salvation by choice makes "getting saved" a...

God is responsible for every soul that is salvaged. He predestined each soul that is redeemed BEFORE the soul was created. God doesn't predestine souls to be...
There was this particular census, in my opinion, to fulfill prophecy, specifically the one in Micah 5:2: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small...
What about the sins we have committed today? Are they already forgiven? Or do we need to ask for forgiveness every day? If so, why? The other answers have...

You may be right, John, and you have a very convincing argument, but then there's this from the NET Bible, a note: The next section (vv. 24-26) records a...

And this too: When we repent we turn from unbelief to believing the one that God sent, His Son who died on a cross for us. That's the sin we repent of:...

You can list scriptures until the day before the rapture, and none of them will give anyone assurance of ANYTHING without the faith to believe them. Without...

No, Jesus didn't die to save me from having to keep a set of rules, written or not written. He saved me from dying and being dead forever.

Hmm, never thought of it that way, Tim, but I think you're right!
In my opinion, it seems that Moses failed to circumcise his firstborn son. The covenant of circumcision was first instituted by God in Genesis chapter 17....

Ephesians 1:13-14 our guarantee of eternal life. Ephesians 4:30. Once we trust Jesus alone apart from any works or action, He seals us with the Holy Spirit...
We have to start with the right premise. Romans 3:23. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All, not some, but all. Because of Adam all men...

Gen 3:16-19 also pronounced punishment to the woman and the man for their disobedience. This should not be ignored please. Thank you.

I agree with everything you say, my sister. It's all 100% valid. I just think the validity stems from a false premise; that this scripture is talking about a...

7 year tribulation? Can you elaborate on that, please?

This "women and children" refrain is very telling. Apparently women and children are thought to be worthy of more consideration than men. I don't know where...

We are supposed to be sober and of a sound mind. God gave us a mind so we can read and understand His word. John 3:16-18. Romans 1:16. John 6:40 and John...

I am not restricting salvation to only the 144.000 Jews. It says there will be such a great number of Gentiles saved from all nations that no man can...
This is really a good question. How could the holy God, for whom it is impossible to tolerate wrong (Hab. 1:3-13), use these wicked people for the...
Great question, Keith Clark! No, as far as I know there were only 2 Mordecai's in the Bible: 1. A Jew who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:2;...

The standard chronology adds some 80 years to the time from the end of the captivity to the edict to return to the land of Israel. This would make Mordecai...
