Actually, the Bible is the only reliable source. You can trust what God says . God does not lie. So if God says I got the Holy Spirit as a “gift” when I was baptized Acts 2:38, then I totally believe Him. Are you accusing God of lying? You are contradicting God when you say that I did NOT...

All of God’s commandments are required for salvation. God does not give a “commandment” with the attitude that it doesn’t matter whether or not you obey it. If you tell your children to do something and they don’t do it, do you just not care? It’s ok with you for your children to ignore what...

I would not want to gamble my soul’s eternal home on that!! God said “your ways are not MY ways.” Most people, especially in America, have Plenty of opportunities all their life to be baptized. If they wait until it’s too late— that is not God’s fault and He is perfectly just in sending them...

John 4:1-2 says that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John; then in parentheses it says. “ though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples. In the same sense, Christians who lead others to Christ by living a godly life, or inviting them to church, or raising children who...

“Believe on the Lord and you will be saved” is taken from Acts 16. Instead of taking one verse out if it’s context, let’s look at the WHOLE story. Paul and Silas have been beaten and put in a Roman jail. Long story short, there was an earthquake that opened all of the prison doors. The...

That should be Acts 16–not Acts 10. My mistake. Sorry.

I didn’t either—it was in a sermon that I heard.

Yes, it is; and you learn new things everytime you read it. It’s like peeling an onion— there are “layers” of understanding. While you are reading Acrs, be looking for how people were saved in the first century. Acts has many examples of conversions in it. They all basically did the same...

JESUS is in the story of Joseph. He is everywhere on the page! —Joseph was the BELOVED SON of his father. —Joseph was attacked by his jealous kinsmen. —They plotted to kill him. —Joseph’s release was sought by the oldest (highest) in command —Joseph was sold for pieces of silver. —an animal was...

The different types of works I was referring to were not good/wise, true/false, kind/unkind, etc. They are the ones actually talked about in the Bible—Boastful works Eph. 2:9 the works of the old law Galatians 3:10; good works Eph 2:10; works of the flesh Galations 5:19; and WORKS OF GOD John...

What is the subject? I am only interested in talking about the Bible.

No. Your parents may be sinners. The circumstances of your birth may be sinful but you, personally do NOT inherit their sins. There is proof of this in Ezekiel 18. God does not hold you responsible for their actions. Neither did you inherit Adam ‘s sin. God is plain when He says the...

God says in His book , the Bible, that we can know there is a God by the things He has made. Roman’s 1:20. Look around. It is more reasonable to believe there is someone higher than ourselves, an intelligent designer, who created this complex world we live in, than to believe “it just...

Yes. That is true. Which further testifies to the fact that the old Jewish law was only for the Jews— not the gentiles. There needed to be a law for ALL PEOPLE and that is what the New Testament law of Christ is—a law for all of His followers, both Jews and gentiles. Called the law of Faith...

There is much misunderstanding about the difference between the Old Testament law given by Moses for the Jews and the New Testament “law of faith” ( Roman’s 3:27) given by Christ for His followers. Christ was born a Jew and lived under the Old law of Moses that was ONLY for Jews. It was...

All of the old law of Moses in the Old Testament has been “nailed to the cross “of Jesus. Colossians 2:14. It was only for the Jews—never for gentiles. Christ died for EVERYONE—all people—not just for Jews. It was needful that a NEW law be given that was for everyone—Jew and gentile alike...

The 10 commandments and all of the old law given by Moses (in the Old Testament) was “nailed to the cross” of Jesus . Colossians 2:14. Christ brought a NEW law called “the law of faith “ in Romans 3:27. It was necessary that Christ bring a NEW LAW because the Old law given by Moses was for...

Jesus was born a Jew and lived under the old Jewish law that was given by Moses. It was His duty to keep that law as long as it was in effect. But that law was only for the Jews . It was never given to the gentiles. You don’t see gentiles “keeping the sabbath.” It was only a Jewish practice...

The 10 commandments were given to the Jews in Exodus 20. Those commandments were never given or intended for gentiles. Only the Jews. Deuteronomy 5:3 Moses told the Jews that those laws and commandments were only for them—the people who were there that day—the Jews. Keeping the 7th day holy...

You are going to get a lot of different OPINIONS about this and a lot of different answers. So let me advise you to go to the Bible for your answers and not men. The apostle Paul says that the Bible is the “mind of Christ.” 1 Cor. 2:16 and God assures us that the scriptures are “INSPIRED by...
