Apologetics & Defending Biblical Truth

We have come up with catchy albeit glib sayings which have become our foundation for Christian doctrine, rather than the truth of Scripture. One such glibs is the phrase that if you are a Christian then all your past, present, and future sins are already forgiven so that you do not need to confess your […]

Another argument brought up against 1 John 1:9 is the notion that it is impossible to remember every sin you have ever committed. Therefore forgiveness of sins cannot be based on confessing our sins to God. But if the Scripture indeed tells us to confess our sins to receive forgiveness, then we are indeed deceived

The attempt made to redefine the word “sin” in 1 John 1:9 is part of the efforts to discredit the truth of what that Scripture says. The Greek word translated sin in 1 John 1:9 is “Harmatia”, which also means to miss the mark, be mistaken, to err, to do or go wrong. It also

Another reason, given to support the error that confession of sins is not necessary is this: “Apostle Paul, who wrote two-thirds of the epistles to the churches, never once taught on confession of sins. In fact, in his letter to the Corinthian Christians, many of whom were committing sins like visiting temple prostitutes, he didn’t

1 John 1:7 says “but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin”. Some have read this Scripture, and have erroneously postulated that “there is perpetual forgiveness for Christians so that Christians

Another reason given to support the deception that Christians don’t need to confess their sins to receive God’s forgiveness is the idea that “the early Christians did not have the book of 1 John for some fifty years, so their getting “right with God” could not have been through the confession of sins”. When we

Some, knowingly or sincerely being deceived,  actually preach against the very remedy God has given to save believers in Christ from walking themselves straight  into hell. By teaching Christians that they have perpetual forgiveness from God so that they do not need to confess their sins to be forgiven, they strive to undo what the

The forth scriptural truth, which exposes the deception of once saved forever saved is the issue of unforgiveness. Jesus made this solemn statement in Mathew 6:14-15, “if you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. This

Thirdly, a fundamental truth we need to know about being born again is the truth that our minds do not get born again when we believe in Jesus. Neither does the mind instantaneously take on a new nature when our spirits are born again. So we are told in Romans 12:2 “And do not be

We read concerning God’s word that “The entirety of Your word is truth…”(Psalm 119:160). When we neglect this profound truth and rather go for a couple of  verses that seem to support what we want to believe and build a doctrine out of them, while neglecting the entirety of what the Scriptures say on the
