Repentance

Image
Repentence  isnt a "work. Not a work in a religious sense (that false religions try to do). For a non Christian, clarity on "repentance" is needed.  Repentance is a change of mind, a turning from and turning to. You need to change our mind about who is on the throne of your life. No longer living as "I am on the throne" of my life, and change that to God being on the throne of your life. Because He is as ruler over you as Creator and God. It is about turning to Him.  When a person understands who God is, he realizes the seriousness of his sin crimes, understands all sins are all done against God, and that He will judge you for every one of these crimes. As the perfect and good God he is a just and righteous Judge. This means he must damn you to permanent eternal Hell... with that knowledge, a person will do one of 2 things. 1. Keep living how they are [continuing to do sinning]- Maybe feel remorseful [cuz God has ...

muslim asks for help understanding

Image
Q: as a muslim i find i do not comprehend the "transformation" Christians talk about. How can it be or how exactly is it that "Jesus transforms" a Christian's life? To me it seems many who are "Christian" do not have a transformed life. But it seems many have a transformed life who are muslim, buddhist, or hindu. So how is a transformed life as a Christian proof Jesus is God? Islamic belief is simply says dont associate any partners with god [idolatry?], and the OT also says this, and you follow 10 commandments, and repent then gods forgiveness is guaranteed. It seems simple logic.  A: There are a few things to unpack here and give clarity.  If you look at the OT and NT as 1 "word from God" [ as Christians say] you will see salvation is the same. You put your trust in the promised Messiah who takes away our sins. So in OT they looked towards Him coming, since NT we look back at what he accomplished. But salvation is the same... repent and tru...

Studying the 10 Commandments *

Image
This page is being built out. You can go through what is available or come back later. Since the Fall humans are no longer perfect, we were marred by sin through Adam, since all of us are born from him.  While Christians are not under these 10C given to Israel to uphold legalostically, the moral commandments in it do point us all to the perfection of God's holiness & standard. The 9 reiterated in the NT do help us understand a bit about sin, and reveals how far sinful humans fall from being good/perfect.  Christians (the born again)  are under the Law of Christ*. And yes it says to love God rightly and love other humans made in God's image rightly. So it seems to encompass the 10C... but really it includes much more.  The Law that is written on mans hearts, as Scripture tells us, is the one that fully points to moral perfection; God's unchanging perfection in character and nature. We were designed perfect but no longer are. Yet it is still written...

Mormonism & Bible Reliability

Image
Mormonism is built on the premise that the Bible is not fully reliable. We will show you that the Bible is true and reliable, is alone totally and only God’s Word- and the Gospel it contains is the only means of salvation.  Mormons have been taught by their religion that their book is an additional word from God. They also since 2016 have been trying to get people to think their religion is Christian. Both are innacurate and blasphemous.  If you are a Mormon and wonder why "Christians reject your teachings (Book of Mormon) and your religion", and understand why your Protestant friends do not believe you are a Christian.... if you actually want to know why then read on...   First I would say that you shouldve gone through all the material [incl. inner links and resources] on the prev page , before you even got to this page. If not, go back and look through it as part of your investigation. If you have actually read the Bible then you should already h...

Unreligious/Atheist curious about Christianity

Image
How does everyone come to Christ? How did you? I've been an atheist (unreligious) all my life, and recently started thinking about Christianity. I would like to hear how it’s impacting your life and how you knew it was the correct choice to convert. A: It is the right choice, because it IS the right thing to do. That becomes clear from understanding the Bible. God gave us this special revelation to know Him, understand the problem and solution...and to take action. We are sinners in a fallen world. Sin entered because Adam sinned (and all humans are born from our ancestor Adam, so all inheirited the sin nature). God provided a way for us to be redeemed from the curse, the Law of sin and death, by way of Jesus as our redeemer/Savior. By Him we have forgiveness and right standing with God, and live in life and freedom in the Law of Christ. God commands us all to repent and trust in Jesus because he appointed a day for judgment against sin. He wants us to flee to Christ...

Attributes of God *

Image
Diving in to learn about God This section will cover information regarding YHWH and his many attributes, and good addl resources to go through. The greatest need of every individual is to know who God is. No matter who you are, in the church, outside the church or an atheist, your most basic need is to know God if you are to know yourself and understand the world around you. You need to know who God is and what He is like. Every other knowledge that someone may acquire is a far distant second in importance. Everything in a person's life is affected by his knowledge of God. A true knowledge of God is that important.  Part of the purpose of humanity is to know God. What do you actually know about Him? Are you growing in knowledge of who God is and rejoicing in it? Do you not really know him or not actually really know much of anything about Him? The below will help non Christians and Christians. It is a real blessing to believers, and an eye opener to non believers.  We are to...
