NEWLY RECEIVED RADIO WAVES EVIDENCE OF GENESIS 1:1

NEWLY RECEIVED RADIO WAVES EVIDENCE OF GENESIS 1:1

Bible critics claim there is no evidence in support of Genesis 1:1. Some atheists deny the universe had a beginning. Is there any evidence in support of Genesis 1:1?

“. . . when the universe was created”—USA Today

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”—Genesis 1:1

Some atheists deny not only the Bible, but also science, by claiming that the universe did not have a beginning. Their denial of proven science shows the depths to they will go to avoid any possibility of God’s existence, and creation. read more

Who Is The One Mediator Between Humans and God?

Who Is The One Mediator Between Humans and God?

Jesus the Mediator
Jesus is the Mediator between God and man. Yet Trinitarians claim Jesus is God.

The Bible says there is only ‘one mediator between humans and God.’ Who, or what, is that?

“This, then is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven . . . ‘”— Matthew 6:9 NIV.

“No one comes to the Father except through me”—John 14:6

“There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus”—1 Timothy 2:5 NIV

While they all give ‘lip service’ (Mark 7:6-13) to the principles that the scriptures above express, Christian denominations have differing views on the exactly how the mediatorial relationship between them and God operates. So, yes, they all “say” that Jesus is the mediator, but in actual practice things are not exactly the way the Bible says they should be. For example, Catholics teach that Christians must go through their priesthood and their hierarchy, including their Pope, to have a relationship with God. Others teach that one can only have a relationship with God through their particular denomination, organization, or church. Some have even thought, or taught that a relationship with God was only possible through one particular pastor. Trinitarians often simply ignore this vital relationship. Let’s make clear what the scriptures say about this: read more

Science & Bible Agree: Expanding Universe Had Early Beginning

Science & Bible Agree: Expanding Universe Had Early Beginning

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

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?

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

The Bible Completely Equips Us & Doesn’t Need Supplements

The Bible Completely Equips Us & Doesn’t Need Supplements

Many people professing to be Christians today believe the Bible is useful but incomplete and needs to be supplemented by their own teachings and writings. But is this the case? Is it possible that the Bible completely equips us?

THE BIBLE’S SCRIPTURES GIVE ALL WE NEED

The Bible completely equips Christians because it is the only divinely inspired writing.“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,  so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17the Bible is complete in itself, and needs no supplementation. Nothing needs to be read into it. read more
