For thousands of years the divinity of Jesus Christ has been an ongoing debate. Muslims believe that He was only a prophet, Mormons believe that He is the literal, only begotten Son of God (not God the Son), and Jehovah's witnesses teach that He is not God and is inferior to God. These are just a few viewpoints of various world religions. So, what is the true, divine nature of Jesus Christ? Who is He really? I'm so glad you asked! There are numerous references in the Holy Bible Read the rest...

Your head pounds violently. Every muscle in your body quivers with desperate anxiety. Sweat drains from every pore. Fearfully, you squint through the iron grate of your armor, watching the heat waves wriggle upward from the dusty earth. The mid-afternoon air is heavy with an unnatural calm. Once more, you readjust your metal grip on the heavy lance, cradled in your right arm. Your massive white horse exerts a profound snort, and you feel his sinewy body twitch with pent-up Read the rest...

Before you think I'm being piously judgmental, please realize that I'm not saying that in the traditional sense associated with that phrase. I'm saying that in the sense of 'If you don't like what I'm saying, buy a book', or 'If you don't like what I'm saying, drink some water'. In other words, I'm saying that if you don't like what I'm saying, do something which comes naturally to you. Well, you ask, what's so natural about walking on water? First, let's consider some basic Read the rest...

A correct hermeneutic strives for an “analysis of the plain meaning of words in their literary and historical contexts.” (Moore, The Hermeneutic of Historical Distance). It is essential that the Bible student keep before him a sound philosophy of interpretation when examining any passage, especially when that passage is difficult or controversial. Someone who forces his own denominational or religious ideals on the text of Scripture is not being a workman who “correctly handles Read the rest...

The question about infant baptism often arises in the minds of parents of newborns. Should parents support and allow their child to be baptized as an infant? To help answer this question it is important to understand the purpose of baptism. When we review the gospels we are commanded to “go forth and make disciples.” According to the book of Mathew Chapter 28 verses 19 and 20, the Bible tells us to “…baptize in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit, teaching them to Read the rest...

Election is the act of God whereby in eternity past He chose those who will be saved. Election is unconditional, because it does not depend on anything outside of God, such as good works or foreseen faith (Romans 9:16). This doctrine is repeatedly taught in the Bible, and is also demanded by our knowledge of God. To begin with, let's look at the biblical evidence. The Bible says prior to salvation, all people are dead in sin—spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-3). In this state of death, the Read the rest...

The Bible says, "No!" One who is saved "has everlasting life, and ... is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24). Eternal life by definition cannot be temporary. It is the present possession of all those who have truly trusted Christ. Romans 8:28-39 reveals clearly that there is nothing in the universe that can separate the elect from the love of God. The One who chose to save you "is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great Read the rest...

The teaching of the Bible is that God did not merely plan to give salvation to those who would choose to believe, but rather that He actually determined beforehand those who would be chosen for salvation (Matthew 22:14; Acts 13:48; Romans 8:28-30; Romans 9:7-24; Ephesians 1:4-5, 11; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 1:9). In other words, we respond in faith to God's choice of us and His election of us is not based upon anything we do. Election must be seen from God's perspective rather than Read the rest...

By Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) It is a great thing to begin the Christian life by believing good solid doctrine. Some people have received twenty different "gospels" in as many years; how many more they will accept before they get to their journey's end, it would be difficult to predict. I thank God that He early taught me the gospel, and I have been so perfectly satisfied with it, that I do not want to know any other. Why, if I believed what some preach about the temporary, Read the rest...
