Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
What if a Christian sins and then dies before they confess their sin and ask God for forgiveness? Will they still make it to heaven?
We are convinced that a Christian will still go to heaven, even if they sin and then suddenly die (say in a car wreck). Our salvation is based on faith in the Jesus of the Bible, not on a set of prescribed regulations.
How many times have we heard this question, just worded in different ways? Have I committed the unpardonable sin? What is the unpardonable sin? I’m afraid I may have committed the unforgivable sin! Can I be forgiven for what I’ve done? The answer is yes! You can be. It is never too late. In fact, we like to say that if you think you’ve committed the unpardonable sin, then it’s highly likely that you haven’t.
Does Scripture ever teach baptism before belief? If it doesn’t, what does that say about infant baptism?
I checked out gay porn then started fantasizing about men then, unfortunately, I had sex with another man. I feel as if I’m God’s enemy and that He will never forgive me. I regret this action and I’m so lost.
We were asked if a comprehensive chronology of biblical events might be possible. While we appreciate the effort it would take to complete such a chronology, we find it impossible to agree that the dates would be valid. In fact, we find it difficult to believe that creating an accurate, comprehensive chronology of scriptural events is even possible (it would be based largely on supposition). We encourage intensive studying of the Bible, but we also encourage Christians to give priority to doing God’s will and practice loving people rather than spending a majority of time increasing knowledge of Biblical facts that may not deepen our relationship with God or others.
Jesus used marijuana! Right? He was anointed with it! Why do you guys have to be so condemning. So judgmental. Why?
Today, everyone seems to have their own understanding of what Jesus did and taught. And if our thoughts could make reality, we would all have a different Jesus. However, no one gets to know a person by imagining what they may be like. We get to know people by reading what they wrote, or reading accurate accounts of what others wrote about them, or by spending time with them. So it is with Jesus.
We don’t always know why God sends trials, but we do know that He does.
No trials are pleasant. And some trials are very great. We must keep our eyes fixed on the hope of the graceo brought to us when Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:13). Through the darkest days, He will bring us safely through the storms and lead us to glory.
Are Christians hypocrites? Sometimes, yes. But to say that all Christians are hypocrites is like saying that all blonds are dumb. It’s stereotypical and wrong. And to say that Christianity is false because some of them are hypocrites, well that’s ridiculous. Just because some math teachers are hypocrites doesn’t mean that two plus two doesn’t equal four. Truth is truth. And people are imperfect.
What mechanism was used by God to harden Pharaoh’s heart? Did God orchestrate events so that, as a response to those events, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened? Or did God intervene directly and harden Pharaoh’s heart?
How did God Harden Pharaoh’s Heart?
Christianity is not Mormonism and Mormonism is not Christianity, even though proponents of Mormonism promote it as a form of Christianity. “We believe in the Bible,” they say. But do Mormons really believe in the Bible?
