Morality seems to be as unattainable as truth these days. This article sets out to explain why that is and the ultimate reason for it. The example set forth in this article was specific to the time in which it was written but the conclusions are the same for whatever time you find yourself. I think the author stated it best when he concluded: “Until…

Many Christian sects promote the idea of a “secret rapture.” However, the idea that Christ will quietly snatch away believers before He returns cannot be found in the scriptures. The Bible says that Jesus Christ’s return will be announced with shouts, trumpet blasts and flashes of light. The whole world will know of His arrival. Only after this unmistakable event will Christians be taken up….

Much is often said about the harsh God of the Old Testament and the gentle Christ in the New Testament. Are there indeed examples of a God endorsing sexism and racism threaded throughout the Bible?
Is the Holy Spirit a Person? ucg.org

The teaching of the Trinity (i.e. that the Holy Spirit is a divine person) is not in the Bible. That idea arrived after the Bible was complete and stems from pagan origins. Rather than describing the Holy Spirit as a distinct person or entity, the Bible refers to it as God’s divine power. Jewish and Catholic scholars agree that the Bible speaks of the Holy…

King David’s story is a case study in the peaks and valleys of dedicated obedience to God and the brutal realities of sin. Being willing to face his sins was one of his strengths. He acknowledged his disobedience and repented, but he also understood grace, the path to complete forgiveness which leads to a right relationship with God.

What if you could find, in one place, a guidebook to solve all the problems in the world? Would you read it? Or are things too scary and stressful? Do you just want to hide from it all?

This is one of those subjects that becomes clearer with a visual aid. There is a lot of confusion around Good Friday, Easter, and Jesus being dead 3 days and 3 nights. As one will see in this 7 min video, the only sign given that Jesus is the Christ did happen as described without the verbal gymnastics required to make the pagan traditions work….

There is a definitive authoritative work that reveals the truth, the very book inspired by God himself wherein He reveals himself, reveals the Son and the truth about the Holy Spirit. The Bible is…

In uncertain times we want answers. We want to know what is true and how to build a solid foundation. God provides that foundation, but how do we even know that He exists?

The Purpose of the Sabbath sabbath.org

The Bible asks its adherents to keep the 7th day of the week (Saturday) “holy” as a time of rest and reflection on the word of God. God created the Sabbath for the benefit of human-kind from the beginning. Only He has the authority to designate what time is holy, and the Bible is clear and consistent on this instruction. Why? Because the Sabbath day…

What is true repentance? Is it feeling badly about what you’ve done wrong? Is it just a matter of saying you’re sorry? What does God really say about repentance? Yes, it is an acknowledgement of wrong doing, but it takes the next step which is a commitment to not repeat the mistake, to not repeat the offense. With a committed turn to right living, a…

Can you trust the Bible as authoritative? It has long been considered so, but in recent centuries its accuracy was challenged. Biblical archaeology compares the findings of archaeology to the writings of the Bible. Many scholars deemed the Bible of little historical or religious merit and science in general has grown biased against it. Yet even famous scholars of the early 20th century, after careful…

At school the theory of evolution is taught in science class. To doubt or question it can often result in being the object of ridicule. But is it okay to just accept a theory of science because it is the “typical” explanation for the origin of life in this day and age? Is the theory of evolution infallible? How can you effectively question that theory…
