    Global warming theory is "false science"

    I just now - this morning - listened to this preaching message by John MacArthur, against the false claims of global warming. Below, are some Bible verses that came to my mind, that help to remind us of the need to prayerfully do our best to avoid the lies of the media, etc. 1 Tim 6:20...

    People who reject the gospel love their sins

    The reason people reject the gospel, is that they love their sins! The gospel is that "light" spoken of in the following passage: John 3:19-21 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For...

    Lordship salvation vs. "easy believism"

    Last night, in YouTube, I listened to gotquetions.org, on the subject of lordship salvation. The speaker said that only lordship salvation saves. Anything less than that, is "easy believism" - and isn't able to save anyone. I also listened to John MacArthur in Youtube - preaching on the...

    Calling Jesus "Lord,' without choosing to obey Him with one's life, is useless and is not able to save anyone.

    God counts those who sincerely repent as perfect - that's how it is

    Calling Jesus "Lord,' without choosing to obey Him with one's life, is useless and is not able to save anyone.

    No human on this planet is perfectly sinless. Only Jesus was perfect, and He was God come down in the form of human flesh.

    Calling Jesus "Lord,' without choosing to obey Him with one's life, is useless and is not able to save anyone.

    Indeed, you're right - there are many who don't even believe in the existence of hell. But what I'm saying is that none in this world would be in favor of ending up in hell, if they knew about it and understood it correctly. The word, "salvation" just means "having been saved" from...

    Calling Jesus "Lord,' without choosing to obey Him with one's life, is useless and is not able to save anyone.

    The Galatians who were returning to "beggarly elements" were turning away from lordship to Christ - to that of trying to earn their own salvation without repentance and reliance upon the cross.

    Calling Jesus "Lord,' without choosing to obey Him with one's life, is useless and is not able to save anyone.

    I understand how you view it and am well familiar with this way of viewing it. But it is not what I see to be the correct way to see, it according to what I see in the scriptures. Though some under these teachings you hold to - are true Christians, I know - many others of them are not, but...

    Fable: Some mice wanted to elect a ruler to rule over them for 4 more years.

    Candidate, number 1 - promised they'd be given unlimited amounts of cheese to eat, and promised they wouldn't have to work any more. Candidate, number 2 - said they'd have enough to eat - but would have to work for it, if able-bodied - but the elderly were to be exempt from the requirement to...

    Calling Jesus "Lord,' without choosing to obey Him with one's life, is useless and is not able to save anyone.

    People who say "the sinner's prayer" of repentance - but make no effort to put it to practice in their lives, are only deceiving themselves! They can't get to heaven that way! People who are deceived into thinking that can get them to heaven, are those who think they can get that wonderful...

    Salvation - one must not hold anything back from God!

    Heb 6:4-6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance...

    Has anyone had any luck going into stores wearing a "breathable mask?"

    Has anyone had any luck going into stores wearing a "breathable mask?"

    No, I believe it is round! Ships would fall off if it were flat.

    Has anyone had any luck going into stores wearing a "breathable mask?"

    Here is what I'd say is in error with CDC: They are claiming that Coronvirus is a widespread, terrible plague, which there's no evidence to support. It tries to take away the freedom of people to make their own choices in life. God always wants people to have that freedom. Though He...

    A fable I've created: The wisest professor - surprised to find that a donkey can speak

    I call it a fable, since I composed it, and added some things to it. Maybe I should have called it a parable. Pretty much the same meaning though. I'm glad you liked it! Yes, as you know - Balaam's donkey did speak in that story! Remarkable for sure! Lots of miracles like this are...

    The gospel of Jesus was always obeyed by God's people but rejected by those who refused Him

    Below, you see that Paul always preached the same gospel that Jesus preached while on earth. Though in addition - he also taught about the Holy Spirit's role in salvation that comes through Jesus. Christians didn't understand that doctrine well, until the day of Pentecost took place, about...

    Faith without works is dead - Bonhoeffer

    Believing in God's Word, doesn't mean just the element of believing. It involves also - obedience to God's Word. Below, you can see how these Bible scholars in Jesus' time - in spite of their high level of Bible knowledge - had never "believed Moses". Jesus said that if they'd believed...

    Salvation - one must not hold anything back from God!

    No. No one is capable of becoming completely sinless - only Jesus was capable of that. But we are to to prayerfully - always do our best to obey God in all things, and to faithfully and sincerely daily repent of all unintentional sins we do. If we do that, God counts us "as if we have...
