Christianity is Jesus Christ Himself, not a religion or a way we can "earn" salvation: salvation is God's gracious gift in Christ Jesus, and we can not merit it or deserve it in any way. Christ is the truth, so Christianity is not opposed to the truth. Christ Himself is the truth, the way back...

Dear freeway, The Bible does say "in the world ye will have tribulation". What the Bible does not reveal is "which generation is the very last generation", which will see the "great tribulation", the greatest tribulations and sufferings of all time. It doesn't reveal how and when and why this...

I am not an expert on NT textual criticism, but I believe the book by Sturz, "The Byzantine Text Type of New Testament Textual Criticism", has a good answer. The majority of manuscripts follow a Byzantine text type, a Majority Text type, a type similar to the TR Textus Receptus behind the...

Dear Vic C., Why would the early Church in the book of Acts meet on the first day of the week, Sunday, if there was not something special about that day? Why did they meet on Sunday, instead of the 7th day Sabbath (Saturday)? They met on Sundays because Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday...

How do you know that? Which source do you have for your information? I would not believe it unless it comes from a reliable source. I guess it depends on what you think is a reliable source. Why all this Constantine bashing? Didn't his reforms of Rome as an empire lead to the Council of...

Your belief seems identical with that of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and the JW's are an Arian cult that deny that Jesus Christ is LORD, and deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ. They falsely teach that Jesus is the Archangel Michael. Go figure! Constantine the Great was a Christian who gave up all...

Friend, The word "church" is in Matt. 16:18 and 1 Tim. 3:15 in the KJV (King James Version). Are you claiming the King James Version is not the Word of God? If the KJV is a false Bible, which Bible is the true Word of God? Is not the Word of God in many, many different Bibles in the English...

Dear friends, Did reading John 17:15 convince you that a pre-tribulation "rapture" (sic) of the Church is impossible, since Christ does not pray to take Christians out of the world; and if Christ did want Christians to be taken out of the world 7 years before His return, He would have prayed...

The ONT (Orthodox New Testament) brings out the real translation and meaning of Hebrews 6:6, (and so does the NASB). Also, the ONT has the real reading of Matthew 1:25 and a correct commentary on its meaning in one of its footnotes. This ONT, along with the OSB (Orthodox Study Bible), has some...

Friend, Fr. Seraphim Rose said, "It's later than you think. Hasten, therefore, to do the work of God." We don't know how much more time on earth that God will give us. Therefore, we need to obey and seek God all the more each new day. Scott in Erie :):study:nod

Does the KJV say that the KJV is inspired by God? Did the KJV translators believe that their work was inspired by God? No. Can a book attest to itself, or must we rely on men to tell us it's inspired? And, how can they prove that it is? Unless they are inspired , too. No. No English...

Christ's resurrection was on a Sunday. In the book of Acts, the Christian believers met on the first day of the week, which is Sunday. We need to avoid Judaizing the Gospel. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision profiteth anything. And ...The Sabbath is fulfilled in Christ, and the...

Friends, I believe the word "church" is derived from the Greek word "Kurios" which means "Lord", and church means "the Lord's house". I'm not sure, is the word "kuriake"? In any case, your talk is much ado about nothing. Christ did found a church, and it is a correct translation in Matt...

Dear friend, This interpretation of 666 as any Christian church is false. According to what Christians have always known, NERON CAESAR in the Greek form of Hebrew adds up to 666 in Greek Gematria, with Greek letters being assigned numerical values all adding up to 666. Interestingly enough...

While it may be true that sexual abuse happens in denominations, it doesn't happen widespread, does it? Doesn't it seem to happen more in Roman Catholicism than in other "churches"? I have heard about some sexual problems even in Eastern Orthodoxy. We need to understand that even in the true...
