Do We Sometimes Nullify God’s Word by Our Traditions (Mark 7:1-16)?

October 13, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Application, Mark 7:1-16, tradition

How do we decide how to apply the Word of God? Some traditions today say that wearing bright clothing is sinful. Even the use of buttons is considered sinful by some traditions. Other traditions say that drinking coffee or tea is transgressing God’s commands. Still others say that the eating of pork is a violation

A santificação pela fé é separada, separada das obras?

October 12, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Graça sem limites

Recentemente li um artigo sobre santificação por alguém que se identifica como titular da posição da Graça Livre. Ele sugeriu que tanto a justificação quanto a santificação são pela fé, à parte das obras. Isso é verdade? Embora a justificação seja definitivamente pela fé, à parte das obras, a santificação também é pela fé, à

¿Qué significa la expresión “Mis ovejas…me siguen” en Juan 10:27?

October 11, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Michael hace una pregunta excelente: Juan 10:27 se usa por ciertos grupos para afirmar que un verdadero creyente siempre querrá escuchar cada palabra de Cristo y seguirá cualquier cosa que Él mande (esas personas rechazan la noción de que la salvación es un evento de una sola vez, y en cambio, creen que la salvación

What Does “My Sheep…Follow Me” (John 10:27) Mean?

October 7, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - following Christ, John 10:27, Perseverance

Michael asks a great question: John 10:27 is used by certain groups to say that a true believer will always want to hear every word of Christ and will follow anything He commands (these people reject salvation being an event and instead believe that salvation is a lifelong process, that the person has to breathe

Духовные катаракты

October 5, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати

Ты знаешь кого-то, кому прооперировали катаракту? Возможно, да. Вероятно, нам всем когда-то это понадобится, если проживем достаточно долго. Катаракта – это ухудшение нашего физического зрения. Хрусталик глаза перестает работать правильно. Результатом становится падение зрения, особенно в темное время суток. Исправить это легко – поменять хрусталик. Операция на катаракту занимает около пятнадцати минут, а период реабилитация

What Is Gehenna and Why Does That Matter?

October 4, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Gehenna, Mark 9:43-50, Matthew 5:21-26

Recently I wrote a blog on Gehenna (see here) in which I suggested that it might be another name for the lake of fire where the unsaved dead will be forever. I received some rather animated objections from quite a few readers. While none of them said why they were so disturbed by my blog,

Are the Seven Letters of Revelation 2-3 Directed to Believers After the Church Age?

October 1, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - “I know your works”, Revelation 2 & 3, The Seven Letters to the Seven Churches

SF writes, Surely ALL of the Revelation must be future.  The “letters to the churches” are just chock full of works doctrine.  Can you at least entertain the idea that those letters are to believers and proselytes after the age of grace has come to an end, after the Rapture?  GES is all about grace,

¿Por qué algunos creyentes fieles mueren antes de llegar a la vejez?

September 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Matt hace una pregunta excelente: Sé que la mayoría (si no todos) los teólogos que adhieren a la teología de la Gracia Gratuita sostienen que los creyentes infieles pueden ser disciplinados por Dios con una muerte prematura. Obviamente hay evidencia de esto en las Escrituras, como el ejemplo de Ananías y Safira. Sin embargo, alguien

Do We Need to Confess Our Sins in Order to Be Forgiven?

September 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Confession and forgiveness

I received an actual letter—handwritten—from Robert asking about confession and forgiveness: Some preachers teach that we as Christians must confess our sins in order to be forgiven of sins after we are born again, according to 1 John 1:9. As I understand it, all our sins were forgiven at the cross. We appropriated our salvation

Is the Promise of Everlasting Life Optional in Evangelism?

September 27, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal security and evangelism, John 11:25-27

About a decade ago, I was talking with a pastor who identified as a Free Grace proponent. He told me that a person need not believe in Jesus for everlasting life or anything at all. All one had to believe is that Jesus was sent from God. Three years ago, I read an article in
