One-Word Meditation? Evaluating Tradition in Light of Scripture

October 28, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - centering prayer, Contemplative meditation, pseudo spirituality

In Eastern mysticism, a person is to clear his mind and simply focus on his mantra. A mantra is the name of a pagan deity. Mystics in the Catholic church slightly modified that type of meditation and replaced the name of a pagan deity with a special word like love, peace, Jesus, or justice. Many

Pinabubulaanan Ba Ng Awit 73:27 Ang Eternal Na Seguridad?

October 27, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya

Ang tanong na ito ay pindala sa akin sa isang email noon July 6. Ayon sa Awit 73:27, “Sapagka’t narito silang malayo sa iyo ay mangalilipol: Iyong ibinuwal silang lahat, na nangakikiapid, na nagsisihiwalay sa iyo.” Sa unang basa, napakahirap makita ang problema. Isa sa turo ng Luma at Bagong Tipan na ang sinumang maghimagsik

Овцы Мои слушаются голоса Моего, и Я знаю их; и они идут за Мною. И Я даю им жизнь вечную, и не погибнут вовек; и никто не похитит их из руки Моей. Отец Мой, Который дал Мне их, больше всех; и никто не может похитить их из руки Отца Моего (От Иоанна 10:27-28). Вечная безопасность

Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage? Evaluating Tradition in Light of Scripture

October 26, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Homosexuality, Same-Sex Marriage

Most people who identify as Christians believe and teach that homosexuality is not sin and that people are born as homosexuals. They suggest that homosexuality is fine as long as it is with just one partner for life. Even many Evangelicals support gay marriage. Yet that is a rejection of the creation mandate. God originally

How Bad Is the Tradition of Salvation by Works? Evaluating Tradition in Light of Scripture

October 22, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Final Salvation, perseverance theology, works salvation

Catholic churches teach works salvation. So do Eastern Orthodox churches. So do most Protestant churches. Matthew Bates is associate professor of theology at Quincy University in Quincy, IL. He has written several books on justification by works. The first was called Salvation by Allegiance Alone (Baker, 2017). The second was titled Gospel Allegiance (Brazos, 2019).

O que e onde está a Gehenna?

October 21, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Graça sem limites - Gehenna, lake of fire, Valley of Hinnom

Meu amigo Bill Fiess me enviou um e-mail sugerindo que minha visão da Gehenna não era correta. Ele escreveu: “Foi sugerido (acho que por você) que o inferno não é o mesmo que o lago de fogo [Apocalipse 20:15], mas acho que Mateus 18: 8-9 [e também o paralelo Marcos 9: 45-47] sugerem o contrário.

October 20, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Timothy 2:11-12, elder rule, The role of women in the church, women preachers

The role of women in the local church is a hot topic today. There are many traditions concerning women and the local church. Many churches have women elders and even senior pastors. Are those traditions consistent with God’s Word? Many churches teach that women should never teach men the Bible or theology, whether in church

Ikaw Ba Ay Magiging Tagapagmanang Kasama Ni Kristo Sa Buhay Na Darating?

October 15, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya

Ang salitang kasamang tagapagmana (sugkleronomos) ay ginamit lamang ng apat na beses sa Bagong Tipan: Rom 8:17; Ef 3:6; Heb 11:9; 1 Ped 3:7. Bagama’t isang karaniwang paksa ng Bagong Tipan na ang mga mananampalataya ay dapat na magsikap maging kasamang tagapagmana ni Kristo sa buhay na darating, madalas iba’t ibang salitang Griyego ang ginagamit

Are Wives to Submit to Their Husbands (Eph 5:22)? Evaluating Tradition in Light of Scripture

October 15, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - egalitarianism, Ephesians 5:22, Ephesians 5:23, Wives submitting to husbands

A high percentage of churches today say that wives are not to submit to their husbands. I remember hearing a DTS graduate preach on Eph 5:22-33. He said that in Eph 5:21 the words “submitting to one another in the fear of God” meant that there should be what he called mutual submission in marriage.

Bakit Natin Ginagawang Mahirap Ang Maligtas

October 13, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya

Si Hal at Wanda ay may isang nakapupukaw na tanong: Marahil ito ay mas akmang ibilang na tanong sa pilosopiya kaysa sa teolohiya. Bakit sa tingin mo ginagawang mahirap ng mga tao ang maligtas? Iisipin mo na sila dapat ay mananabik na yakapin ang pananampalataya lamang bilang nakapagliligtas na mensahe. Marahil ay buhay at maunlad
