Contrary to popular opinion, the warning not to take the mark of the beast during the great tribulation is directly given to the church, specifically God’s faithful ones, not to sinners or backslidden Christians who will be left behind after the rapture. We understand the book of Romans was written to the church because in […]
In the previous posts, we identified five core issues that conclusively point to the existence of an external source for our presence on earth: (i) the issue of existence and coming into being; (ii) the issue of life; (iii) the issue of order and purpose; (iv) the issue of the realm of thoughts and emotions;

How God Answers the Five Core Issues 1. The Issue of Existence and Coming into Being The basic tenet of Christianity—that God exists outside our physical realm—answers the question of existence and coming into being (Genesis 1–3). He is the external source who brought everything into being: “In the beginning God created the heavens and

In the previous post, we looked at five core issues that undeniably point to the existence of an external source: i) the issue of existence and coming into being; ii) the issue of life; iii) the issue of order and purpose; iv) the issue of the realm of thoughts and emotions; v) the issue of

Creation itself proves that there must be a source external to it for creation to exist. Even common sense demands this.

Overcoming Wilful Sins In the previous post we looked at “God’s Seven Antidotes to Willful Sin” (Hebrews 10:19-26). The seventh on the list, specifically addressed to Christians, is very striking: “Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day

God’s Seven Antidotes to Willful Sin The warning in Hebrews 10:26–27 leaves no room for ambiguity: “For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.”

The admonition that “no sacrifice is left for sins if we keep on sinning deliberately” (Hebrews 10:26-27) is repeated in multiple places in Scripture as a warning to the church. Thus, we are given no excuse by which to claim that such severe scriptural admonitions are only meant for Jewish Christians or the nation of

The Bible gives this solemn warning in Hebrews 10:26-27: “For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries”. Some have claimed that this warning is
