Bakit May Mga Tapat Na Mananampalatayang Namamatay Nang Hindi Umaabot Sa Katandaan?
May napakagandang tanong si Matt: Alam ko na karamihan, kung hindi man lahat na teologong Free Grace ay nanghahawak na ang mga hindi tapat na mananampalataya ay maaaring disiplinahin ng Diyos ng maagang kamatayan. Malinaw na ito ay may saligan sa Kasulatan, gaya nina Ananias at Saphira. Subalit ang isang bago sa Free Grace ay
Вера без дел мертва–Иакова 2:14-17
“Что пользы, братия мои, если кто говорит, что он имеет веру, а дел не имеет? может ли эта вера спасти его? Если брат или сестра наги и не имеют дневного пропитания, а кто-нибудь из вас скажет им: ‘идите с миром, грейтесь и питайтесь’, но не даст им потребного для тела: что пользы? Так и вера,
One-Word Meditation? Evaluating Tradition in Light of Scripture
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?
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
Является ли следование за Христом условием получения вечной жизни?–От Иоанна 10:27-28
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
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
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?
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.
