If salvation was really a choice that God left up to us, we’d have to start rewriting a number of famous hymns, perhaps starting with these two: Amazing Grace Amazing grace! How sweet the soundThat gave the choice to me!Though once lost, chose to be found,Was blind, but chose to see. How Hard You Tried… Continue reading “Free will” hymns

How we can know with certainty that there is more than one Gospel
I’ve written about the differences between the various Gospels mentioned in Scripture many times on this website, and given various arguments as to why there is more than one recorded in Scripture, but there’s one proof which settles the debate beyond any shadow of a doubt, and that is the different meanings and end results… Continue reading How we can know with certainty that there is more than one Gospel
Christianity is more negative than Atheism
A fellow believer by the name of Alan posted this over on a Discord server which certain English-speaking members of the actual body of Christ sometimes frequent, and gave me permission to share it. I’ve edited it slightly for punctuation and spelling and such, but otherwise I’ve posted it as it was shared: “Christians like… Continue reading Christianity is more negative than Atheism
They’re the same picture
After finishing my post on the many differences between the Israel of God (and their Gospel of the Circumcision) and the body of Christ (and our Gospel of the Uncircumcision) — which you can find here — and being told by someone who read it that they still can’t see the clear pattern of differences between the… Continue reading They’re the same picture
Kingdom come?
Is the kingdom of God a present reality or a future promise? One of the biggest mistakes one can make when it comes to the question of whether the kingdom already exists or whether it’s still yet to fully begin on earth is to assume the answer is anything other than: Yes. Recently, due to… Continue reading Kingdom come?
Salvation through mutilation
How is it that one is saved from hell? Well, it looks like Jesus told us exactly how, and all you need are some surgical instruments: Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed,… Continue reading Salvation through mutilation
“…all men, especially…”
There are lots of other passages I can use as well, and I have in other places on this website, but I can show you, using two simple verses of Scripture, that God will save all humanity. First, Galatians 6:10, where Paul wrote, “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who… Continue reading “…all men, especially…”
Simple proof that the body of Christ is not the Israel of God
Most of us in the actual body of Christ (not to be confused with the Christian religion) are well aware of the fact that there is more than one Gospel in Scripture (at least we are if we’ve been a member for much time at all), and that the end result of believing the different… Continue reading Simple proof that the body of Christ is not the Israel of God
Your understanding of salvation seems to be supported by Scripture
There are basically three soteriological positions one can hold to (meaning there are three different scriptural understandings of salvation and the ultimate destiny of all humanity that one can believe in). These three positions are: A) Universalism (the idea that everyone will be saved and reconciled to God in the end), B) Annihilationism (the idea… Continue reading Your understanding of salvation seems to be supported by Scripture
How Paul used parallelisms to teach the salvation of all
Parallelisms of different sorts are used all throughout Scripture, but nobody used them better than the apostle Paul when he used them to explain what it is his Gospel really means (meaning, what the outcome of the Good News he proclaimed is). The First Man: Adam = Condemnation [mortality and sinfulness] The Second Man: Christ = Salvation… Continue reading How Paul used parallelisms to teach the salvation of all
