If Christian Leaders Aren’t Sure, How Can Regular Peeps Be Sure
By Bob Wilkin I watch the news for a few minutes each morning before leaving for work. On Good Friday morning this year, I watched Brian Kilmeade interview Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York. The ending of the interview struck me. Kilmeade asked Cardinal Dolan if he hoped to become Pope. Cardinal Dolan replied, “I’m […]
Did H.A. Ironside Teach Lordship Salvation?
By Bob Wilkin *This article was first published in the June 1989 issue of what was then a newsletter called The GES News. One writer has recently suggested that H. A. Ironside’s view of repentance is the same as that of modern Commitment Salvation (i.e., Lordship Salvation) advocates (John F. MacArthur, Jr., The Gospel According […]
Die Wahrheit wird euch frei machen (Johannes 8:30-32)
Die Johns Hopkins University, die Ottawa University und die Southern Methodist University haben alle die lateinische Übersetzung von „Die Wahrheit wird euch frei machen“ als Motto: Veritas Liberabit Vos. Dies ist einer der bekanntesten, aber auch am meisten missverstandenen Aussprüche Jesu. In Johannes 8:30 berichtet Johannes: „Als Er diese Worte sprach, glaubten viele an Ihn.“ […]
Justification and the Law of Moses
AA asks a good question: My question is, did the Mosaic Law make provisions for justification? For instance, something like a sacrificial offering of some sort that would justify a person. How would an unjustified person relate to the Law? For that matter, how would a justified person relate to the law? I hope this […]
¿Está Ismael, el hijo de Abraham, en el cielo?
Aunque Ismael no es tan mencionado en la Biblia como su hermanastro Isaac, aún así se le presta bastante atención. El nombre de Ismael aparece cuarenta y ocho veces en el Antiguo Testamento, aunque todas las referencias fuera del libro de Génesis se refieren a alguien que no es el hijo de Abraham con Agar. […]
Ta ewangelia będzie głoszona całemu światu (Mateusz 24:14)
„A ta ewangelia królestwa będzie głoszona po całym świecie na świadectwo wszystkim narodom. I wtedy przyjdzie koniec.” (Ew. Mateusza 24:14) Pewnego dnia pewien przyjaciel zapytał mnie, czy uważam, że ten werset świadczy o tym, że pochwycenie jest bardzo bliskie. Powiedział, że badania wskazują na to, że w ciągu kilku lat ewangelia dotrze do każdej grupy […]
Nasa Langit Ba Ang Anak Ni Abraham Ni Abraham Na Si Ismael?
Bagama’t si Ismael ay hindi nakatatanggap ng kasindaming atensiyon sa Biblia kumpara sa kaniyang hating-kapatid na si Isaac, marami-rami ring banggit ang Biblia tungkol sa kaniya. Ang pangalang Ismael ay masusumpungan nang apatnapung-walong beses sa LT, bagama’t ang mga reperensiya labas sa Genesis ay patungkol sa ibang tao at hindi sa anak ni Abraham kay […]
C’è differenza tra essere salvato e nato di nuovo?
DM ci ha chiesto due cose importanti: “C’è differenza tra salvezza e nuova nascita? Salvezza e Nuova Nascita possono essere usati intercambiabilmente? Nel mio libro, The Ten Most Misunderstood Words in the Bible, ho scritto un capitolo sulle parole salvare e salvezza. Ho spiegato come nella Bibbia queste parole si riferiscono tipicamente alla liberazione dalle […]
What Do We Need to Know about Jesus & the Life to Come to Be Saved?
Al asks some good questions: I have been reading your articles and watching your YouTube videos for quite a while now. I understand that you believe that in order to be born again one has to believe in Jesus for everlasting life. However recently I have been wondering what that actually means in detail. In […]
Призыв к покаянию в Библии всегда адресуется Израилю?
Я защитил свою диссертацию о покаянии в 1985 году. Недавно я написал книгу о покаянии под названием «Turn and Live» [Обратись и живи]. Но мне никогда не задавали вопрос, который пришёл мне на имейл от M.G.: “Правильно ли утверждать что употребление слов «покаяться» и «покаяние», найденное в Старом и Новом Заветах всегда относится к Израилю?
