Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?

[Please note that I put “free will” in quotation marks because it’s a nonsensical concept that can’t actually exist in reality. This article wasn’t written to prove that fact, though, nor was it written to prove that God is ultimately in control of all things, at least from an absolute perspective (including all sinful and/or… Continue reading Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?

Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place

I’ve only been a member of the ecclesia (or church) called the body of Christ for a little over 7 years now, but I’ve known, or at least have been acquainted with, various members of the ecclesia for decades now thanks to my time as a Christian Universalist prior to getting saved, and I’ve noticed… Continue reading Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place

Fourth edition of my eBook: Forbidden Bible Truth

As many of you know, I published an article back on April 22, 2017 titled Why I Couldn’t Return To Church, which was eventually renamed to Bible truths you won’t hear at church in its third edition on July 7 of 2023 (with its second edition being titled Nearly everything we learned at church was… Continue reading Fourth edition of my eBook: Forbidden Bible Truth

Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)

The reason I’m not Roman Catholic is really quite simple (although if you want the proof of my reason, it will require some homework on your part): There’s just no way to reconcile Roman Catholic doctrine with Scripture. (The same goes for Eastern Orthodox doctrine, but I’m just going to refer to Roman Catholicism throughout… Continue reading Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)

Why I have reassurance that we believe the truth

As I assume happens to every believer at one time or another, I sometimes have occasions where I’ll begin to question whether what we believe is true — including whether or not the Bible really is the word of God — or whether those of us who believe what we do might just be fooling… Continue reading Why I have reassurance that we believe the truth

The necessity of two Gospels

While it goes without saying that there are at least two Gospels (or Evangels) in Scripture (and please read this article if you aren’t aware of this fact already), some people might ask why there are two Gospels in the first place, and why Jesus didn’t preach the same Gospel during His earthly ministry that Paul later preached… Continue reading The necessity of two Gospels

The simplest answer to the question of whether a believer can lose their salvation

The question is often asked: Can a believer lose their salvation? Now, obviously I’m not referring to general salvation here, meaning the salvation that everyone is guaranteed to eventually experience thanks to Christ’s death for our sins, entombment, and resurrection on the third day (the salvation that involves the eventual vivification — meaning immortality —… Continue reading The simplest answer to the question of whether a believer can lose their salvation

Why I believe in the salvation of all humanity

The reason I believe in the eventual salvation of all humanity is really quite simple. Many years ago, while I myself was still a believer in the popular doctrine of never-ending punishment for unbelievers, I encountered debates between other Christians who also believed the popular doctrine arguing with a seemingly strange group of people who… Continue reading Why I believe in the salvation of all humanity

Not of yourselves

Pretty much every Christian is familiar with what Ephesians 2:8-9 states: 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. Somehow, though, most Christians seem to miss what this passage is saying. Before getting into it, however,… Continue reading Not of yourselves
