God did not take Jesus’ righteousness away from Him and give it to us. God did not take away His own righteousness and give it to Abraham. Righteousness of a person (Jesus) can be imputed to another person (eg, yourself), through identification, without removing it from the other person (Jesus)...

Your reply is wonderful and blesses me greatly. I think you’re correct. Assurance is simple and direct. No complex theology, no convoluted “lordship salvation vs. free grace” entanglements. Just plain scriptures that clearly illuminate the reality of inner regeneration, which is permanent, based...

Paul said to examine ourselves to test if we’re truly in the faith. Backsliders and hypocrites tend to have no deep self-awareness of personal sin. But let’s say you suddenly realize your life has been mostly sinful, after responding sincerely to the gospel message, and acting briefly like a...

Jesus explained it clearly. John 3:19 Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. The gospel is rejected when individuals refuse to abandon their favorite sins. Atheism has nothing to do with not having enough evidence for God’s...

In the Bible, faith does not mean believing in something, but believing God. Jesus often told healed individuals “your faith has made you whole”, meaning your trusting God.

Collection of quotes related to Nicolaitans from Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Eusebius, Epiphanius. https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3286

I thought Nicolaitans were basically clergy who dominated the laity, leaders who misled the congregation, lording over them. In Greek, "Nicolaitans" is derived from νικόλαος (Nikolaos), which is a compound of νικάω (nikao), meaning "to conquer" or "to overcome," and λαός (laos), meaning...

Do Old Testament scriptures on the righteousness based on keeping the Mosaic law have relevance to New Testament righteousness based on faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for our sins? Is not the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and not of works, lest anyone should boast? Of...

But you broke, fried, and ate 2 eggs, so 4 remain.

4 eggs left.

No such thing as an immature or carnal Christian? First Corinthians indicates believers can fall away into extreme sin.

A doctrine that teaches: 1. Jesus is not God in the flesh, or 2. God did not raise Jesus from the dead, or 3. Christ was not in a real human body, or 4. Christ did not die for our sins, or 5. people go to heaven if their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, or 6. sacraments save your soul...

Thanks for the video. I like John MacArthur a lot. But he got a bit carried away… “Wherever He (Jesus) went, He was a preacher of hell.” I disagree. There are many sermons where Jesus did not preach hell, but given the circumstance, He certainly could have. The woman at the well. Cleansing the...

Thank you for the prompt reply. Your tabulation of references to Hell and associated terms still totals only 63, but they are probably including verses not attributed to Jesus. Were these references you found on hades, abyss, and fire all spoken by Jesus? What Jesus Himself stated is the...

Nearly every Bible teacher announces grimly that Jesus spoke of hell more than He spoke of Heaven, but based on what? In my Strong’s Concordance, I found 104 instances of Jesus referring to Heaven / kingdom of heaven, but only 28 references by Jesus to Hell or implications of hell fire. To...
