Debates around “once saved, always saved” (OSAS) often reveal deeper differences about what salvation, grace, and faith really mean. Salvation in Scripture is described in past, present, and future tenses. The OSAS view sees it as a one-time, unchangeable legal act. In contrast, others view it as a covenant relationship—freely given, but sustained by abiding in Christ. Jesus said, “He who endures to the end…

The Great Tribulation: 7 Years or 3.5? truthsum.org
A Common Belief—But Is It Biblical? Many Christians believe the Great Tribulation will last seven years. This idea comes from a specific interpretation of Daniel 9’s 70 Weeks Prophecy, especially the so-called “gap theory,” which separates the 70th week from the first 69 by over 2,000 years. In this view, the final seven years are assigned to a future Antichrist. However, Scripture itself does not…
Is “Once Saved, Always Saved” Biblical? A Deeper Look at Salvation truthsum.org

5 days ago in Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS), Miscellaneous Topics
“Once saved, always saved” offers comfort—but is it scriptural? Salvation isn’t a one-time transaction; it’s a covenant relationship with God. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Obedience doesn’t earn salvation, but it shows faith. The first Passover paints a picture: Israel was saved by grace, yet obedience mattered. Similarly, believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14), not as…
A God of Order in a World of Chaos truthsum.org
We live in a chaotic world—morally, politically, spiritually. Yet from the opening words of the Bible, we’re introduced to a God of clarity and purpose: “In the beginning, God created…” What follows is structure and design. But then comes a puzzle—“The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.” Why would a perfect God begin with chaos? Scripture…
How Should a Man View a Woman? Reclaiming What’s Been Lost truthsum.org

Something is deeply broken in how men view women today—and it didn’t happen by accident. From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images, while being told their natural desires are toxic. They’re torn between attraction and shame—instinct and guilt—leaving many confused, isolated, and addicted to fantasy. This distortion creates extremes: some grow apathetic, seeing women as objects; others dive deeper into unreality, seeking…
Consumed, Not Cherished: Rethinking Self-Image in a Culture of Exposure truthsum.org

2 weeks ago in Human Beings
I grew up hearing, “Men, stop viewing women as sexual objects.” It was needed. But today, another message is missing: Women, stop viewing yourselves that way too. Our culture now celebrates exposure as empowerment. But when value is tied to how much you show, is that really freedom—or a more polished form of objectification? Women are encouraged to display themselves for attention, but it often…
Why Passover Still Matters truthsum.org
To many modern Christians, Passover seems outdated—something “Jewish” and unnecessary under grace. Easter has replaced it in popular tradition. Yet just before His crucifixion, Jesus said, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer” (Luke 22:15). He didn’t replace it—He gave it deeper meaning. Passover began as a rescue from Egypt, marked by the blood of a lamb….
Why We Observe the Passover at the Beginning of the 14th Day truthsum.org
The timing of Passover observance has long been debated. Most today observe it at the end of the 14th day of the first month, just as the 15th begins, based on a traditional interpretation of Exodus 12:6. But another perspective—still held by some—places the observance at the beginning of the 14th, right after sunset. Jesus’ example supports this early observance. He ate the Passover meal…
