What Are John 3:16 & The Gospel About?

What Are John 3:16 & The Gospel About?

Comments 4 comments

“For God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”—John 3:16 NKJV

On November 8, 2018, an article was posted on Patheos entitled, “Why John 3:16 Isn’t About The Crucifixion“:

“In preparation for an upcoming online debate about PSA [Penal Substitutionary Atonement] Theory, I started wondering whether or not Jesus, or any of the Gospel authors, specifically communicated the Gospel as being about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, or to appease the wrath of God, etc. read more

Science & Bible Agree: Expanding Universe Had Early Beginning

Science & Bible Agree: Expanding Universe Had Early Beginning

Comments 42 comments
Expanding universe
If the universe is expanding, it had a beginning. The Bible tells us what happened in the beginning, and why.

In the last 100 years, science has discovered  that the universe is expanding. However, the men who wrote the Bible spoke of this concept when it was written about 2,500–3,500 years ago. But many people believe the Bible and science contradict one another, primarily because of the unscriptural assertions of “Young-Earth Creationism” (the earth and the universe were created in six 24-hour days about 6,000). Is this really so? Let’s examine some basic scientific concepts about the universe, and see how they compare to what the Bible says. read more

How Can Jesus Be God If He Is the Mediator?

“There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all”—1 Timothy 2:5,6 NIV

“Mediator. One who represents God to humans and humans to God–and who removes all alienation between them by offering himself as a ransom for ‘all'”—NIV Study Bible footnote on 1 Timothy 2:5

The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the mediator BETWEEN God and mankind.

“GOD-MAN” MEDIATOR CLAIMS

Trinitarians claim that Jesus is God, and their “God-man” also. How do they explain this apparent contradiction? read more

New Covenant – ‘Good Things Now Already Here’ – Access to God

New Covenant – ‘Good Things Now Already Here’ – Access to God

Comments 0 Comment

Do we need to go through some human intermediary, or hierarchy, to get to Almighty God? – No! Why not? We certainly do not want to in any way diminish the need of “meeting together” with those of like faith (Hebrews 10:24,25 NIV), nor do we want to downplay the importance of Christlike spiritual leadership (Hebrews 13:7,17). What does the New Covenant have to do with any of this?

However, we need to keep in mind that “there is only one God, and there is only one mediator between humanity . . . Jesus Christ” (1 Timothy 2:5 NJB).  read more

Atheists Ask: “If God Is Real, Then Why Is Faith Required?”

Atheists Ask: “If God Is Real, Then Why Is Faith Required?”

Comments 0 Comment

First of all, when people ask, “Why is faith required if God is real?”, they are using a different definition of “faith” than the the Bible does. The average person thinks “faith” means: “blind faith”, or belief without any evidence, zero, zippo, nada. That is not Biblical “faith”. So let’s clarify what we mean Biblically by faith. “Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1 NAB). Biblical faith has evidence in support of it, in fact, lots of it! read more

Why Jesus – Not God – Died For Our Sins

Why Jesus – Not God – Died For Our Sins

Comments 25 comments

The Bible says God cannot die. Yet Trinitarians assert that Jesus must be God himself in order to die for the sins of mankind stands in stark contradiction to all scriptural evidence. It was Jesus, not God, who died for sins.

Jesus, not God
It was Jesus – not God – who died for the sins of mankind

“LORD [Yahweh], are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die” (Habakkuk 1:12 NIV)

From this scripture, we can see that it is impossible that Jesus could be the God who would die for the sins of mankind, since the prophecy of Habakkuk was written over 600 years prior to Jesus and clearly states that God will never die. read more

Are God, Jesus and the holy Spirit a Trinity In Titus?

Are God, Jesus and the holy Spirit a Trinity In Titus?

Comments 0 Comment

Are God, Jesus and the holy Spirit part of a Trinity? Is Jesus God? Let’s take a look at the Bible book of Titus to find some clues to answer these questions.

Titus
What does the Book of Titus say about God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit?

“Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ.” (Titus 1:1 NIV) “God” is named as being someone other than “Jesus Christ”. If Jesus was God, as Trinitarians claim, why are God and Jesus are referred to separately? It’s because they are separate and distinct individuals, and not merged into a mysterious Trinity! Why does Paul not say that he is a servant of the holy Spirit, or the Trinity? Because, even though the holy Spirit is real, it’s not a person, and  the idea any sort of Trinity is not found in the Bible. read more

Ultimate Authority – Is it the Father, Jesus, holy Spirit, or Trinity?

Ultimate Authority – Is it the Father, Jesus, holy Spirit, or Trinity?

Comments 0 Comment

Who is the ultimate authority? Most Churches believe, preach and teach the following:

“In this Trinity . . . None is greater, or less, than another. But the whole three Persons are . . . coequal”—Athanasian Creed

The Trinity is implied to be the ultimate authority in the famous creed quoted above. Not all Christians are in agreement about the roles of God the Father, Jesus, the holy Spirit and the Trinity. Some say God is the ultimate authority, some say Jesus is the ultimate authority, and some say the Trinity is the ultimate authority, and a few even say the holy Spirit is the ultimate authority . Some say they are equal. And some say Jesus is Almighty God. Red-letter Bibles put words the editors think were spoken by Jesus in red, which implies that Jesus’ words are more important than God’s words. But what does the Bible say? Let’s examine some scriptures to find the answer. read more

Are God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit a Trinity in 2 Thessalonians?

Are God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit a Trinity in 2 Thessalonians?

Comments 0 Comment

In the Bible book of 2 Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul speaks of God, Jesus Christ, and the holy Spirit. If Paul and/or the early Christians believed Jesus is God or part of a Trinity, we should be able to find evidence of this in the New Testament letters. But is this the case in 2 Thessalonians? Is the Trinity in 2 Thessalonians? Let’s examine some of the pertinent verses to find out.

2 Thessalonians
Paul speaks of both God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit in 2 Thessalonians. But does he believe  God is a Trinity?

“To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.” (2 Thessalonians 1:1,2,8 ). In the opening greetings in these first few verses of the letter, God is clearly distinguished from Jesus Christ, as an entirely separate being and there is no mention of the holy Spirit. “God” is referred to as “our Father”, not “the Lord Jesus Christ”. Notice that Jesus is called “Lord,” not God, and there is a conspicuous absence of any greetings from the holy Spirit! If the holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and if the Trinity is a true doctrine, why is the Spirit not mentioned here? Because the holy Spirit isn’t a person, and he Trinity is a “false doctrine” (1 Timothy 1:3). These three verses completely exterminate the Trinity doctrine. read more

What Sincere Beliefs Must a Person Have To Be a True Christian?

What Sincere Beliefs Must a Person Have To Be a True Christian?

Comments 0 Comment

Many people in the world today call themselves “Christian,” but there are so many conflicting beliefs and doctrines taught among these people. So what beliefs must a person hold in order to be a true Christian? In order to answer this question, we need to look to God’s Word. Let’s see what the Bible has to say.

Christian belief
Christians view the Bible as God’s revelation to humanity

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6) So the first point is that one must believe that God exists, and becomes the rewarder of those sincerely seeking him. read more
