Being Saved, But Not from Hell 

by in - , , ,
Bible students who are open to its teachings soon discover that often, the word saved does not mean being saved from the lake of fire. Most readers of this blog are already aware of that. Recently, a friend pointed out another NT verse in which the word saved does not refer to eternal salvation. I had always assumed that the verse refers to salvation from the lake of fire.  That verse is Acts 2:47.

What Will Believers Do in Eternity? 

by in - , , ,
Most people in Christianity, whether born again or not, have not given much thought, if any, about what they will do in eternity. Of course, most people in Christianity don’t have assurance of their eternal destiny. So, it makes sense that they aren’t too concerned about they might do if they happen to make it to Christ’s kingdom.  Many professing

Ask, Seek, Knock (Luke 11:9) 

by in - , , , , ,
The Lord told His disciples to ask, seek, and knock. The one who does so will receive, find, and have the door opened (Luke 11:9-10). These verses are quoted frequently. However, the broader context is usually overlooked, with the result that the Lord’s words are often interpreted in a very general way. However, careful consideration of the context suggests that He has something more specific in mind.  These verses are part of a parable in

In response to my claim that John 5:24 proves believers will not be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment, Dr. Tom Schreiner wrote, “Revelation 20:11-15 [refers to] the judgment of all people” (p. 53, emphasis his). In his own article, Schreiner wrote, “A quick survey of

by in - , , , , ,
Zanim Pan Jezus Chrystus zabrał trzech swoich uczniów na Górę Przemienienia, powiedział im rzeczy, których nie chcieli słyszeć. Powiedział, że zostanie odrzucony przez naród i zabity (Łukasza 9:22). Następnie powiedział im, że jeśli chcą pójść za Nim, będą musieli wyrzec się tego, czego pragną, i wziąć swój krzyż. Wzywał ich, aby cierpieli razem z Nim.
