What does Paul mean about 2 or 3 witnesses?

Q: Paul in NT talks about 2 or 3 witnesses? Explain this A: Paul’s reference to “two or three witnesses” appears in several New Testament passages, especially 1 Timothy 5:19, 2 Corinthians 13:1, and 1 Corinthians 5:1–13 as a related passage about church discipline. The key question is how the biblical requirement for witnesses relates to church discipline, accusations against church leaders, and the protection of the church from false charges. The central principle is that serious accusations must be established by credible evidence, not merely by someone’s allegation. The requirement protects both the accused from unjust condemnation and the church from unaddressed wrongdoing. The expression comes from the Old Testament law, particularly Deuteronomy 19:15, and Paul applies it to New Testament church life. 1. The main passage: 1 Timothy 5:19–21 This is the most direct passage if you are asking about accusations against pastors, elders, or church leaders. 1 Timothy 5:17–21  17 Let t...

Why dont Christians follow "the rules" of the Bible?

Q: I find it interesting 🤔 that people who claim to believe in God (Christianity), dont do absolutely everything in their power to "follow its rules". It's like they have never read the Bible.  A: That judgment and claim sounds more like you don't understand Christianity.  Before I answer this I need to make a clarity disclaimer, otherwise what I say might still perplex you from what you have seen in the world. ●There are false converts in Christianity, and false Churches (that masqurade as if theyre of God but are of the Satanic system). This includes old well known "Churches" but also newer ones like the Cults. None of those are God's people. None of those are Christ's Bride [aka The Church]. Satan likes to decieve folk, both outsiders looking at Christianity and those claiming to be if that Faith, but also decieves people into those false religions (if not raised generationally in them). God warned about those [in NT] in Scripture. The early chur...

If Moses died how did he write of his death?

Moses wrote the 5 books of Scripture, and common sense follows that Joshua added the ending of Moses death. The key distinction is between the main authorship of the Pentateuch and a short editorial/posthumous addition. 1. Moses wrote the Pentateuch The traditional view is that Moses was the human author of the first five books: • Genesis • Exodus • Leviticus • Numbers • Deuteronomy GotQuestions explicitly describes these as the “books of Moses” and says Moses wrote the Pentateuch, while recognizing that a few passages appear to have been added later.  This is also consistent with the biblical language of “the Law of Moses” (e.g., Joshua 1:7; Luke 24:44). 2. Moses obviously didn't write the account of his own death Deuteronomy 34:5–8 describes Moses' death, burial, mourning, and even says that no one knew his burial place. So Moses could not have physically written those verses after his death. GotQuestions' explanation is that Moses wrote Deuteronomy up to the end of his l...

Protestants have so many denominations cant they figure it out - be one Church?

So many denominations cant Protestants figure it out, and be one Church? A: We are one Church; the Bride of Christ, the body of Christ.   Just because certian other ones claim to be The Church doesnt make it so. Theyre false religions masqurading as Christianity (such as RCC, Orthodox & the Cults). History shows the truth.  Protestantism [the only "Christianity" now] is "united in the Gospel" (called the essential or primary) is the salvific main issue of Christianity. The 'secondary' issues are things folk learn and grow to understand as they learn more. They can come to a more accurate understanding in time on things such as end times views. That only happens if they themselves study the Word. A lot of professing believers arent, so they remain ignorant.  "Denominations" [again, speaking of protestant] came about from the ☆Reformation era☆ when the Church was being reclaimed/restored to God's truth; as revealed in the 66 books of Holy Scr...

Why isnt it obvious to those in RCC & similar false religions that salvation is by Faith Alone in Christ's Alone, since Scripture reveals it

Q: The Protestant theology of salvation; "trust in Jesus for salvation" seems to make so much sense to me, and it seems to be obvious from Scripture. But I really struggle to understand if it is this obvious , how did so many people end up in Catholicism? And have the billions of people who lived since Jesus time, who followed the Catholic Church all been damned to hell ? I really struggle with this.  A: God opens the eyes of those he will save. Unsaved people are blinded by their sin nature & Satan, Theyre spiritually dead; so they cannot comprehend. Scripture explains this. It is why it is important to read & study the Bible. Most dont desire to read or study it to find truth. Most dont even read it.  To this topic explain further and touching on what you asked:  Firstly, it doesn't matter what supposed version of "Christianity" someone aligns with, all false religions and churches are not of truth. I say that so those reading and asking the same Q but...

Church, modesty, church discipline & correction

On black churches, modesty, church discipline & correction, turning from worldly to godly. Re: The Church calling out women for immodesty, & on Denominations Problems in the black church. Black churches sadly have been notorious for being full of false teachings even from America's early days . It has always bent more liberal, instead of biblical. Today some biblical black churches exist, but outside of black communities, black Americans and those on the path to citizenship, should be in a mixed church, not ethnically singular. It can open them up to truth and educate on many things the black church has wrong. But also since we are to be one in Christ, not divided. Not segregated. Today more black churches are coming under biblical leadership & teaching, and thats good. But believers looking for a church need to be knowledgeable about what to look for, (be learned on foundations biblical truths of Christianity and the Gospel), so they dont walk into a false church.  Th...

Athiest attacks Christianity & Christians without any clue.

Athiest attacks Christianity & Christians without any clue .  1. Christians shouldnt ever-ever be seeking nor pursuing a relationship with an unsaved person. We were freed from the darkness, we are not to once again chain ourselves to it (and the misery it brings with it). We are to be equally yoked; only with another true believer, where life is together in Christ and pursuing Him and holiness in life.  Also darkness doesnt run to the light, it flees it, this her no interest in dating Christians. That is good, it is a grace a hedge God has to protect believers.  2. What shes doing is a Skeptics typical tactic they throw out to avoid/deflect/distract from the main issue; sin & salvation.  If they can sit above/judge Christians then they can justify their sinful nature. Only problem is theyre not judging in truth, but self righteousness. She doesnt have the superior argument, and will one day bow to & confess Jesus is Lord, even if it is on Judgment Day....

Bryce Crawford

Bryce Crawford Pastor Michael Grant cautions believers about Bryce. In " The Problem with Bryce Crawford " and his follow-up discussions—his concerns are primarily about discernment not Bryce Crawford's personality. His main points include: ●The Gospel is not to be presented as therapeutic but Redemptive. Grant argues that Bryce often emphasizes that Jesus saved him from depression, anxiety, and emotional struggles. He believes the biblical gospel should primarily emphasize humanity's sin, Christ's atoning death and resurrection, repentance, and faith—not chiefly personal well-being.  An emphasis on God's love without enough emphasis on sin and repentance. Grant contends that Bryce's public evangelism frequently stresses God's love while giving comparatively little attention to God's holiness, judgment, repentance, and the cost of discipleship. He worries this can produce an incomplete understanding of conversion.  ●Concern over charismatic influen...

Evil & Satan the Accusor *

While this talks about a related topic of evil Q: According to Christianity, what is the answer on how if Satan by his sin was tossed out of Heaven, to earth, (after his war with God), how can he have access to God in Heaven, such as him being an accuser to Job. And what about towards The Redeemed Ones in Christ today? A: Satan's being "cast out of heaven" and Satan's appearing before God are referring to different aspects or stages of redemptive history. • God is sovereign everywhere. Satan is a creature and can never act independently of God. So when the OT book of Job describes Satan appearing before God (Job 1–2), it is not pictured as Satan strolling into God's holy presence as an equal. Rather, he is "summoned" and accountable before God's heavenly court. • Job occurs before Christ's victory. Passages like Job 1–2 and Zechariah 3 show Satan functioning as an accuser who still had a role in the heavenly court, bringing accusations against ...
