Eternal Life: One of the Most Misunderstood Bible Concepts

Those who teach unconditional security (or, once saved, always saved) doctrine think they’re  clever when they try to defend their doctrine with the question “How can you lose eternal life?”  They throw out this question  in a rhetorical sense to try to sound slick and to try to make theirRead More

Saved: One of the Most Misused Bible Words

What do people mean when they say that they are saved (that is, when they are speaking in the context of Christianity and the Bible)?   I have met people who by their own admission had no idea what they meant in claiming that they are saved.   Sometimes people who sayRead More

Carnal Christians Go to Hell

Emphasis of Key Truths About Faith, Grace, and the Unconditional Security Lie

This will be similar to a message done several months back called “Setting the Record Straight on Grace, Faith, and the Unconditional Security Lie.”  However, a few things have been added, a bit has been rearranged, and there has been significant editing for conciseness as well. A living faith alwaysRead More

Does the Bible Require That Church Leaders be Married?

Before we directly consider the question of whether the Bible teaches that church leaders need to be married or not, it is noteworthy to point out that the Bible surely doesn’t require that church leaders be single.   The Roman Catholic Church demonstrates its apostasy from Christ by mandating celibacy ofRead More

2 Samuel 11:1-5 says: “And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah.  But David tarried still atRead More
