I thought so too until I understood what the new testament actually is. You and I have the opportunity to obtain eternal life. All we have to do is follow Jesus. Having no fellowship with darkness but rather reproving them. Explain to an entertainment crazed world that they need to stop...
The context of this verse begins with "This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you:" The gospel message covering original sin and personal sins and ends with verse 10. In the following verses it does say that if any christian sins he has an advocate with the Father in...
You are on the right track by trusting the bible only. Don't let it discourage you if you cannot find some famous person to back up what the bible is teaching you. The Pharisees were the famous theologians of their time. Paul used to worship Gamaliel and knew that the Pharisees did too, so he...
The only ones who will have eternal life are those who know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent. Not know of them but know them. Those who don't take the time to get to know them through the word of God and prayer will end up in the lake of fire with Satan and Hell.
It is impossible that all will be saved. That would eliminate free will. I would have to be saved whether I wanted to or not. Ridiculous. It removes the need to become a follower of Jesus at all. Might as well eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.
Keep reading the bible while...
Although those who crucified Jesus never repented and asked for his forgiveness, he asked the Father to forgive them. Follow his example. Pray to the Father for this woman. Ask God to bless her. Overcome evil with good. God is not willing that any should perish so neither should we be. And...
The bible is full of verses like these.
[4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
[5] He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the...
Time: the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues
Time exists in Heaven now. Why wouldn't it after we get there. There will be no Sun or Moon to use to keep track of time. Just one continuous day. Time may have had a beginning but I...
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and...
I am non-denom. I do not have a church. I have not found one that isn't littered with heresy. The problem with the visible body of Christ today is simply that they are not following him. If everyone would pick up their cross, deny themselves (which is required to even be a disciple), then we...
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
God knew that the government...
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
It seems that whether or not one goes through the tribulation is dependent upon works.
I have not been able to understand the end times prophecy in its...

He has taught me that the present world system of Christianity has evolved from the wise and the prudent trying to figure out the word of God. He has taught me to navigate the heresy by looking for the work of the flesh involved. Usually identified by sin being allowed in the believers life...
He is the actual son of God. In Heaven before Creation they had fellowship together, planned the Creation and human history. What may be confusing is that he didn't need a mother until he took part in humanity. How and when he was begotten is a mystery (asexual I suppose). God did not tell...
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
You must do the will of God to go to Heaven.
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that...
Old German Baptist Brethren practice this. I can not think of any biblical basis for such a thing. As a matter of fact Paul seemed to know the women of the churches he planted well enough to include them in his letters. Jesus, our example, was constantly ministered to by women. Just as there...
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Jas 5:16).
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.(1 Jon 3:7)
But now the...
