Romans 10:9-10
Reading Time: 22 minutes Last week (week of March 6th), Artie the atheist at //freeatheism.org, entered a comment on one of my posts. Then not long afterwards, Artie emailed me with his, ‘Theist Challenge’ and insisted that the atheist position is the “justified” position and that belief in Christ Jesus is not. This post is a compilation of Artie’s […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Bisi from the Nigerian state of Lagos asked a wonderful question; “What is God’s favor?” Earning God’s Favor To many people, receiving God’s favor is something that they think must be earned by them. These people believe that they have to do something in order to receive God’s favor… that they have to do lots […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes Presley from Douala, Cameroon asked me via email this great question; “How can one worship God with all his heart and really know that he has done so?” First let’s put Presley’s question in context with the Bible: Matthew 22:34-40 A Pharisee who was an expert in the law, tested Jesus with this question: “Teacher, […]
Reading Time: 8 minutes @AsmodeusDemon in Twitter tweeted to me concerning my article; “Did Jesus die for our Sins or did He just Die?” the following: “He didn’t do either given he knew he’d be resurrected. And also because he simply never existed.” Most likely is that @AsmodeusDemon didn’t even read the article I wrote which he/she replied. If […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Romans 1:20-22 shows us examples of proof of God’s existence: For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks […]
Reading Time: 9 minutes Alex sent to me the following email asking about ‘truth’ from a Christian perspective: Hello, Your website is interesting to me. Please could you help me with what is meant by the word ‘truth’ from a Christian point of view? I understand the absolute Truth to be the one God, made accessible to mankind because […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Stephen via email asked me a great question; “Why should we forgive people?” In short, the Bible instructs us to forgive as the Lord forgave us: Colossians 3:13 Longer answer: God helps us grow in maturity and wisdom and heals us when we forgive. When you release the wrongdoer from the wrong (when you forgive […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Jimmy Thunder on YouTube made the comment to me; “you realise [sic] you’re also an atheist right? with regards to every single other deity except the one you’ve ‘chosen’” To answer Jimmy’s question; Jimmy you are wrong, I am not an Atheist. I have never been an Atheist nor will I ever be an Atheist. […]
Reading Time: 16 minutes Derrick sent me the following questions in email: I have a question about God, the Bible, Faith, and/or how to be Saved I’m struggling with my faith. All of my life I’ve been told that Jesus is what I should believe and not to question it. But it’s hard to not question things with a […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I cannot fathom that God is non-existent due to the abundance of evidence supporting His existence i.e., laws of logic, physics, gravity, the universe, all life, etc. AND above all, the personal relationship I have with Him. Everyone who fathoms the universe created itself (i.e., Stephen Hawking) and life created itself (i.e., Richard Dawkins) are […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes “Cursed are those who give the name of good to evil, and of evil to what is good: who make light dark, and dark light: who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20) Throughout my lifetime (+50 years) each year more people more often have been redefining definitions of institutions which for all millennia […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes George from Sierra Leone asked me a great question in email; “What are the differences between holiness and righteousness?” Holy is ontologically “separate”. Clean is ontologically “appropriate for cult”. Righteousness is “appropriate in covenant”. Uncleanness and sin remove the appropriateness for cult and covenant. Purification sacrifice recovers for holy and clean, and for humans also […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes Lydia from the United Kingdom asked me in email, “How can I be born again? Is it by something I sing or put on?” The Bible tells us in Ephesians 2:8-9 that “It is by grace (God’s gift) we have been saved and not by works (human effort).” Which goes to help answer Lydia’s question […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes @Gorooble from Twitter asked the question; “How do you take Matthew 18:19 in context?” and went on and asked; “Why don’t pairs of Christians go into hospitals, pray, heal everybody?” Great questions from @Gorooble and I’ll even up the ante by asking about Matthew 18:19; “Why don’t pairs of Christians get together around the world […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Andrew from Tanzania asked me in email, “If Jesus was really God, why did He not protect Himself and allow Himself to be put on a cross and die on the cross?” The question Andrew asked is a great question because at first thought, why wouldn’t someone who is extremely more powerful than the ones […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Jinnette in email asked me; “What does salvation mean thoroughly? Such a great question and one I’m sure many other people out there want to know the answer to as well. I hope the answer below helps Jinnette and you understand what salvation means. When God created everything, He said it was good (Read Genesis […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Victoria in email asked me, “What does it mean, ‘Whose path are you on?’” What a great question! Basically there are only two paths a person can chose to be on; one path goes towards God and the second path goes away from God. Jesus boldly claimed, “I am the way, the truth, and the […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Current as of June 23, 2014 Mariam Ibrahim, 27, refused to renounce her Christian faith in Sudanese court in May 2014, prompting a Muslim judge to sentence her to hang for apostasy.

Reading Time: 4 minutes Juan asked me a great question in email; “What is the Old Nature and New Nature?” The Bible calls the ‘old nature’ sin or the flesh.

Reading Time: 6 minutes Do I Deserve to go to Heaven? This question I ask myself almost every day and sometimes multiple times a day. As I’ve gotten older, I find myself asking it more often.

Reading Time: 6 minutes Asking specifically about the pre-18th century Australian aboriginals, @WarriorOfWriters in a YouTube personal email asked me; “What good God would allow all those before to burn eternally for being born in the wrong place at the wrong time without any form of revelation?” What a great question @WarriorOfWriters asked! In short, the answer is; No, […]
Reading Time: 10 minutes @GreedyIan from Twitter asked; “hey rather than dying for our sins, maybe Jesus died simply because he was nailed to a big wooden cross?” Actually @GreedyIan has asked a very good question and I’m glad that he asked it. What if Jesus Simply Died because He was Nailed to a Big Wooden Cross? Well, we […]

Reading Time: 7 minutes @DannyBrownLincs from Twitter asked: “IF it is all true, then God is responsible for EVERY action that Satan committed. Knowing what he’d do, and creating him anyway?

Reading Time: 10 minutes Natural Marriage is a Lifelong Commitment Natural Marriage is a lifelong commitment made between one man and one woman with God and made in the presence of God.
