I was saved 71 years ago when I was only years old. I knew nothing except John 3:16. I knew that since I believed on Him, I had eternal life. I did not know...

Conversion simply means to quit trusting in what we do to save us, and trust in Jesus finished work on the cross to save us. It just means we believe John...

Exactly, God's plan (which is what the definition of logos is).. came into reality. God's word spoken into existence. Just like God said, let there be...

Perhaps I did not go far enough in my quotation above from John's gospel. John 1:14 says, "And the Word (Logos) became flesh and dwelt among us, full of...

The word "Word" is translated from the Greek word Logos. Logos is never synonymous with Jesus Christ. It is God's word that spoke everything into existence....

Do you mean in the same place as hell with a great gulf (impassable) between them as Jesus describes in his story of Lazarus and the rich man? Which maybe...

Salvation is a free gift. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, and we all sin, but the GIFT of God is eternal life. What do you have to do for a free...

Judges 9:4 - 5
I think the answer is pretty obvious. If we read Matthew 6:7-14 (also in Luke) we find the Twelve asking Jesus for advice on how to pray, and Jesus instructs...

The leper's response has always been a bit curious to me, as well. Maybe the leper was acknowledging that he was in the presence of the Lord who does...

Kenneth, Salvation is a one-time event. Eternal life with God is not a revolving door--sometimes you're in, sometimes you're out. Rom 10:9-10 tells us what...
Comment:
Kenneth, That's the whole point of grace. We don't deserve it because we remain sinners as long as we are here on this earth. The Bible never says we go back...

The reason the world faces the consequences of Adam's sin, is because Adam is the father the human race. In the beginning of time God placed the dominion of...

If I am interpreting the question correctly, I would say that swimming in a public pool (or any similar setting, such as a beach) would not be a sin in and...
Comment:
The basic question here is salvation a process or is it a one-time event? Salvation isn’t always guaranteed regardless of human behavior. Apostates (those...

I am a parent; how can I let go of my adult children?
I would say that, although God would certainly be capable of speaking to people through dreams or visions today, there might not be as much need for Him to...

Once saved always saved is the gospel. One man may be living like the devil and still be saved. Another man may seemingly living right, but never receive the...

We all sin, First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. That is why Jesus had to die for us. Once we believe,...

In my opinion The Rich Man and Lazarus is not a historical account of two individuals’ literal experiences in the afterlife. It’s only a parable – one of the...
I would say that, in the context of the events described in the vision given to John in Revelation, the "army" mentioned in Revelation 19:19 represents...

If we die before repenting of a specific sin, we are still saved. Why? Because if we have faith in Christ, then God looks at *Christ's blood* and is appeased...

This is why the cycle of sin, repentance and forgiveness is a lifelong process which without the Holy Spirit very few would succeed at. You can't be saved...

Oh, boy, Kenneth. If being saved means never sinning, none of us are going to make it! None of us is perfect, even after being saved and receiving the Holy...

Albert, I'm sorry but I really don't understand anything you're saying. First 2 Cor 5 is VERY clear that when we leave our physical bodies, we are with the...

I do believe the case can be made for eternal punishment, and hell being a place of torment. Luke 16: 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in...
Why do dreams seem to help us know God’s will today? (Judges 7, esp. verse 15) -- 13 Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a...
Judges 7:15
What makes us a peculiar people is that we know we have eternal life because we have believed the gospel of our salvation. Peter is writing to the Hebrew...

Thank you, Ariel, I find his very helpful. I wonder, though, do the Jewish people today still have this "ethnic-based" view of salvation? Your discussion...

We do not take up our cross and follow Jesus for salvation. That is discipleship, not salvation. That is what we should do if we are saved, but that does not...
