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...

The Context : Numbers 21:4–9 In the Old Testament, the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness. They grumbled against God and Moses, and God sent fiery serpents among them, which bit people and caused death. God then instructed Moses: “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” (Numbers 21:8) At first glance, it’s strange: why does looking at a bronze snake save someone from a deadly bi...

Q: I feel Mainline Christianity is a reprehensible & revolting proposition to the logical, rational, morally responsible & spiritually sensitive heart & mind. It teaches that the vast majority of people made in God’s image—which the Bible says should never be disrespected or defaced—will be sadistically tortured in hell forever, even though Jesus allegedly made propitiation for them (turning aside the wrath of God against them) when he suffered the punishment for their sins, as their sacrificial substitute, on the cross, and thereby satisfied the holy justice of God on their behalf.  Double jeopardy? Premeditated genocide?  The larger reality of which we are an integrated part beckons us toward greater love, compassion & service. No judgment or condemnation. Only unconditional love. A: God is our Creator. Morals come from Him, from the attributes of God. That's one way in which we were made in the image of God. Man fell in Eden, so he only lives out a distorted...

Q:Why do we need apologists to “apologize“ for the Bible? Why do we need people like William Lane Craig or Frank Turek or Cliff Knechte & others to speak in such confusing philosophical parameters, to explain to us concepts that should be crystal clear to anyone reading the Bible? Why do we need scholars we hear about to clear up all the thousands of misconceptions and misinterpretations of the Bible? If we put 100 people in 100 different rooms and ask them simple Christian doctrine questions like how do you get to heaven, what is the Trinity, or what is the book of Revelations about, etc. We get 100 different answers. To me, this is why Christianity is so obviously a man-made philosophy. A God would have no reason to be that confusing.  Edit: My Mormon friends tell me the exact same thing. They say, “I read the book of Mormon and don’t find it confusing. It is very clear maybe read it and you will not be confused." Muslims tell me the exact same thing about the Quran. I was...

Works cant save.  All unsaved folk "good deeds" are for selfish reasons. It is sn atempt to bribe the God/Just Judge and it wont work. "But we are allike an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6 (which often is explained in culture context back then that those rags were only fit to be burned). Which ties into Paul's imagery from 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 (works being "burned up"), to make the point that human righteousness apart from Christ is worthless and destined for judgment. Luke 13:3, 5 – “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” In Hebrews 9:27 God reveals: And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." So all who are not born again by God, regardless of their beliefs (or church attendance, etc) are unsaved and hellbound. But those who obey the Gospel, God saves & transforms them at that m...

Why people cannot enter Heaven: 1. They're sinners.  2. They're not perfect.  Nothing unholy can be in God's presence & live. He must punish sin wherever it is found. • Exodus 3:5: "And He said, 'Do not come near....for the place where you are standing is holy ground.'" • Exodus 33:12-14: "And Moses said to the Lord, 'Please show me Your glory.' And He said, ...'You cannot see My face, for no man shall see Me and live.' • Psalm 5:4: "For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; Evil shall not dwell with You." • Revelation 21:27: "But nothing unclean will ever enter it... only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life."    • Hebrews 12:14: Without holiness no one will see the Lord. "The Bible says, 'All unrighteousness is sin' (1 John 5:17). To get into Heaven, we must have perfect righteousness. God says, 'Be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect' (M...

Q: I think humans easily choose ‘me’ even when we think we choose ‘Him’ - it’s a daily decision to lay down our life and follow Him. One that we easily get distracted from doing and then become bitter and resentful when God isn’t the genie we thought he should be. Or maybe that’s just me? 😅  A: those who persevere to the end, will be revealed on that last day, and for believers it is The Day of Salvation, where we are revealed as the Redeemed.  No perseverance = not saved, never were Many came to Jesus for the wrong reasons; they believed a false gospel, so the disillusioned ones leave . 👉 They were never saved, so theres still hope for them...🙏 Understanding this (free book)  For these folk it isnt really deconstruction. Those who were never of us went from us Scripture says. And while some are innoculated to the gospel because they never actually understood it, once they understand it, it is possible they will be saved. For those... Pray, eng...

If people could see Hell for a second, wouldnt they turn to Jesus & get saved?  Scripture speaks on Hell & they can read it there. We also see the seriousness of it across Scripture and in all of Revelation.  If they understood sin theyd make sure they were saved. We need to present the gospel well in order to do that. It is why the unsaved from the world who found their way into a church arent the only mission field there, church is full of false converts who claim to be believers, so theres a mission field but their salvation wont likely happen without a revival. Unless they  see their need for righteousness  after hearing of the perfect Holy God, they will not want him now nor when in Hell.  I was watching a Ray Comfort witnessing video ytd, and thinking about when we share,  we could ask them  to close their eyes and think about how horrible Hell would be (list some things while eyes shut or before), and have them do the same when you get t...

What is your view on homosexuality+?  God created and designed sex to be in marraige and only between a married man and woman. I'm opposed to homosexual+ relationships and redefining marriage. Only God, as our Creator, has the right to define marriage, because He created mankind and marriage. He declared it is only between one man and one woman. God has clearly declared this from Scripture. Therefore my view is based God's truth as he YHWH has designed it and revealed thru His Word.  However, I do not "fear" (homophobia), or bash those who choose homosexuality; I still treat them like regular human being. I am hopful that they will see the error of that choice and repent of their sins and trust in Jesus [ follow God & his teachings as God has stated in Scripture, and not twist it for their perversion]. Christians are called to share truth and the Gospel, and so we cannot stay silent if we care about others.  As a Christian, (a true ...

Genuine questions and struggles with never having found answers.  People who claim to be Christian aren't perfect. There are some who are not actually Christian; Scripture is very clear on this. But if you read the Bible, you would come to know this. I do honestly encourage you to read the Bible for yourself. It doesn't take long to do so.  Non believer, skeptic & many churchgoers have a basic lack of Biblical knowledge and lack of understanding the Scriptures. It's likely 90% of them left church because they never understood the Bible, true gospel, any teaching of Scripture & Biblical doctrine, but also lacked assurance of evidences and somehow incorrectly assumed 1. They were a Christian or 2. Had doubts cuz no one helped them solidify their faith based on evidence. But let's be honest- 3. They never read the Bible, and certainly haven't read it cover to cover even 2x.  For these people who are skeptics or claim to be believers, bring up objections or wond...

Be Good campaign of Atheists  Thanks for getting people to think about God and remind them Christmas is about Christ. "What they meant for Evil, God uses for good, to save many people" (Genesis 50:20). We know you meant the advertising as an attack on Christianity, and know you would never do that on Muslim holidays, Aukmed might "Keel You" if you dared to do that. You are more afraid of men than you are of God.  But we, Christians, leave vengeance to God. We know that those who are against the living and True God attack Christ because they know God is real and they dont want to be responsible for how they live before His eyes... as you all feel. You hate God, without cause. So you also hate His followers.   Did you know only a small percentage of people in America are not believers in God. Globally most everyone does as well. Here, 93% of Americans celebrate Christmas, and just about as many admit to believing in God (91%). Celebrating the Birth of Christ is not...

Are you living by faith in Jesus, or by a false modern works righteousness? You can't can earn Heaven (a happier life on earth) if you make sacrifices (stop cursing and tithe sometimes, or do things). You can only be saved and live through Christ, who purchased you on the cross. His work paid your fine and made you right with God when you obeyed the gospel: Repented of your sins (forsook doing them anymore, hating sin) and trusted in Jesus. Don't let satan decieve you anymore, break free from the works righteousness lie that many in the  churches and communities have propogated in recent years. Trust only in Jesus righteousness, and live a life that pleases God based on your gratitude and love for Him. http://www.examineyourself.com/ http://www.needGod.com/ Resources to help you as a new believer  Resources for believers Resources for skeptics & seekers This resource may help bring you to the conclusion that God is the Creator, Jesus is the Savior and C...
