Q: I joined a non denom church, but someone said that's "not a real church". I feel confused. What do I need to know?  A: Non denom is usually Baptist or Southern Baptist, or might be Charismatic. Their church name might not give it away, but their beliefs will. It will tell you which secondary beliefs the church holds so you can then see who they really are. If you can't tell by that, you can call the church and ask questions. Its better if you have a list of questions to probe, or probe further. And is best to talk to the pastor.  Non Denominations will usually be folk who believe in biblical "Christian liberty", say unlike amish, anabaptist, menonite and penticostal, who all "conform"; dont let you dress modestly as you want but the women dress bland uniformly with long hair and usually a headscarf. If your belief differed, they wouldnt let you stay. But non denom Christian churches as like denominational churches, allow freedom.  Around 2010 ...

4,000 religions? Actually there's 8 billion in the world today. All religions outside Biblical Christianity is simply... idolatry. People make up their own version of a god they prefer.  ====== "If you do a Google search, you will quickly learn there are roughly 4,000 religions in the world. Most of us are at least aware of the 5 major world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and the New Age movement. The existence of so many religions has prompted some to wonder how they should respond. If there are so many, can we actually say that only one is true? Isn't this an arrogant position to take? Here's what we can't do: We can't say that all religions are true. To illustrate this point in my talks, I get two people from the audience to try to guess what I drive. After receiving two different descriptions of my car, I ask, "Can both descriptions be true?" Obviously, they cannot both be true since they make contradictory claims. For example...

The Gospel in every book of the Bible This revelation underscores the consistent message of redemption and hope found throughout Scripture, culminating in the person and work of Jesus Christ.  Each book contributes uniquely to the overarching narrative of God's redemptive plan. The below is an overview highlighting how each book reflects aspects of the Gospel: Old Testament 1. Genesis: Reveals humanity’s need for salvation [because of man's Fall from perfection into sin] and introduces God’s redemptive plan with the first promise of a Savior (Genesis 3:15). God's promise to Abraham continues to foreshadow the blessing being brought to mankind through Christ. 2. Exodus: Depicts deliverance from bondage, symbolizing salvation through the Passover lamb.  3. Leviticus: Details the sacrificial system, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice for sin.  4. Numbers: Highlights God's guidance and provision, reflecting His faithfulness to His people.  5. Deuteronomy: Reit...

Q: saw a short video (Christian/Muslim debate) today, & am not on either side, but would like clarity from Christians on this.  So Jesus is God... but he prayed to himself to be saved from death....and raised himself from the dead.... but the idea makes zero sense to me... help ??? A: This helps clarify: God is three Persons but of one Nature.  God's attributes are identical to His essence(1) Jesus the Word, sent by the Father to earth, who then [by Jesus] sent the Holy Spirit to believers [to indwell them](2). 3. So the Son (begotten by the the Father who sent him from Heaven to put flesh on & called Jesus, as therefore the Son) can talk/pray to the other members of the triune Godhead. As 100% God but also now 100% man too, he is able to talk to God and pray to Him. See God was fine within the trinity to enjoy each other's presence prior to creating man. God is eternal and was never created. He always existed. So they can fellowship among each other and didn't need...
