Your answer shows that you completely ignored what Jesus actually said and did. Jesus said that the sick require a physician ~Luke 5:31, but He went on to say, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” ~Luke 5:32. You conveniently omitted that part. He was not “partying” with...

That kind of venom doesn’t change the truth. You can mock, curse and contort all you want, but Scripture still remains. This isn’t a political issue. It’s a righteousness issue. God’s Word tells us to expose the darkness and not make excuses for it ~Ephesians 5:11. To vote by biblical conviction...

Go ahead and curse Christians all you want. The real problem isn’t politics. The real problem is sin. Your profanity doesn’t reveal hypocrisy in others. It reveals rebellion in your own heart. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” ~Matthew 12:34 Christ never told His followers to...

Many Christians say “This world is not my home,” and that’s true. But it’s also true that we aren’t called to sit idly by while darkness grows. “You are the salt of the earth,” Jesus said, “you are the light of the world” ~Matthew 5:13–14. Salt seasons what’s spoiling, light shines where it’s...

It is not true that Exodus 20:7 is only speaking of lying. That is not the way that the verse reads in the context of all Scripture. The command is, “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” The word shav’...

That’s nonsense, and Scripture itself refutes it. “Vain” in ~Exodus 20: 7 comes from the Hebrew shav’, which means “emptiness, falsehood, or worthlessness.” It’s not restricted to stealing or taking advantage of people – it means misusing, falsely, or irreverently the name of God. It means...

“That’s not confusion, that’s conviction.” The “religious mind” you’re imputing is the mind Scripture tells us to have – “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” ~Romans 12:2. The only confusion there is when man spurns God’s Word and substitutes...

You don’t have to look far to see that the world has lost its mind. Right has become wrong, and wrong has become right. Folks are celebrating what God condemns and condemning what God celebrates. Human beings have now achieved a condition where they experience both confusion and deception. The...

“Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20: 13) is the text commonly raised against capital punishment, but we need to understand what God was saying by that in context. The Hebrew word for “kill” there, ratsach, means murder (the illegal, personal taking of life), not every killing. God also commanded...

That's nonsense. Adam and Eve were created male and female and commanded to reproduce before the fall. "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." (Genesis 1:28). That was before the fall, not after. Their reproductive capability was not dependent on sin or "knowledge of good and evil." It...

Actually, you have it backwards. Scripture never says man was created sinful. To the contrary, “God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). Sin entered later through one man’s disobedience (Romans 5:12). That’s not a design flaw, it’s rebellion. Adam wasn’t...

Actually, that’s straight from Scripture, not human logic. The true Church is not a man-made organization, it’s a living organism made up of all who are born again through faith in Jesus Christ. “Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it” (1 Corinthians 12:27). The Church...

Yes. Jesus was rejected by His own people. “He came unto His own, and His own received Him not” (John 1:11). Israel’s religious leaders delivered Him over in unbelief, and then they shouted, “Crucify Him!” (Mark 15:13). Spiritually, that was the worst that could be said of Israel at that time...

You are correct that dead faith will not save a person, but the Bible is clear that we are saved by grace through faith apart from works (Ephesians 2:8–9). “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” The...

The world isn’t the way it is because God desired that it be this way. Sin entered the world and the evil that flows from sin has turned it into a cruel place. “God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). There is no death, no disease, no oppression, no evil in...
