What Does Praise the Lord Mean?
Have you ever said, “Praise the Lord”? If so, what did you mean? There is a lot of confusion in Christianity about what the expression means. Most people think that we praise the Lord when we 1) say the words Praise the Lord, and 2) have happy feelings during worship. But neither of those is […]
Бог выбирает людей для спасения?
По словам кальвинистов, слово избранный одно из самых важных в Библии, несмотря на то, что оно попадается только семь раз в Новом Завете (Матф 24:24; Мк 13:22; Рим 11:7; Кол 3:12; 1 Тим 5:21; 2 Тим 2:10 и 2 Ин 1). Без определенного артикля слова избранный и избрание попадается еще шестнадцать раз в Новом Завете. […]
Why Should We Tell Everybody about the Bema?
“And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28). The Lord Jesus is coming again soon. After He comes, He will judge every Christian to determine the eternal rewards each will receive. Some will have confidence at […]
Dio elegge le persone alla salvezza?
Secondo i calvinisti, gli eletti è una delle espressioni più importanti della Bibbia, anche se ricorre solo sette volte nel NT (Mt 24:24; Mr 13:22; Ro 11:7; Cl 3:12; 1Ti 5:21; 2Ti 2:10; 2Gv 1). Senza l’articolo determinativo, le parole eletto o elezione ricorrono altre sedici volte nel NT. Tuttavia, altre parole trasmettono l’idea di […]
Is 1 John 1:9 an Evangelistic Verse?
Mark asks a question that has been popping up a lot lately: Hi, Mr. Wilkin. I am struggling with the idea 1 John 1:9 is speaking to both believers and unbelievers. Andrew Farley proposes this and states that 1 John 1:9 in the sense most churches and theologians believe is the equivalent of the Catholics […]
¿Escoge Dios a las personas para la salvación?
Según los calvinistas, la expresión los escogidosi es una de las más importantes de la Biblia, aunque solo aparece sieteii veces en el Nuevo Testamento (Mateo 24:24; Marcos 13:22; Romanos 11:7; Colosenses 3:12; 1 Timoteo 5:21; 2 Timoteo 2:10; y 2 Juan 1). Sin el artículo definido, las palabras escogido o elección ocurren otras dieciséis […]
May Hinalal Ba Ang Diyos Sa Kaligtasan?
Ayon sa mga Calvinista, ang halal o hinirang ay isa sa pinakamahalagang ekspresyon sa Biblia bagama’t ito ay nasumpungan lamang nang makapito sa BT (Mat 24:24; Marcos 13:22; Rom 11:7; Col 3:12; 1 Tim 5:21; 2 Tim 2:10; at 2 Jn 1). Kung wala ang depinitong artikulo, ang mga salitang halal o kahalalan ay nasumpungan […]
Dlaczego istnieje tak wiele nieporozumień co do tego, co to znaczy wierzyć w Jezusa Chrystusa?
Wszystkie tradycje chrześcijańskie podzielają pewne wspólne wierzenia, ale istnieje ogromna różnica zdań co do najważniejszej kwestii: Co to znaczy wierzyć w Pana Jezusa Chrystusa? Istnieje wiele różnych sposobów rozumienia przez różne tradycje tego, co oznacza wiara w Niego. W większości jednak sprowadzają się one do tego, że wiara w Chrystusa jest pewnego rodzaju dobrym uczynkiem […]
Can Cowards Go to Heaven (Revelation 21:8)?
B.E. asked me a great question: “Why is cowardly listed first in the list of people thrown into the lake of fire?…I am the person who is fearful that God has abandoned me and I deal with fearfulness about my eternal destiny…Isn’t it possible for a Christian to be afraid and live in fear?” Revelation […]
Do We Need to Believe Everything in John 3:16 to Be Saved?
Dave emailed me a great question: I have a question about this blog today related to the content of “only begotten Son of God” in John 3:16. Since John 3:16 says that Jesus is requiring the hearer to believe the promise He is making, does Jesus also require the hearer to believe that He is […]
