How will we pass the time in eternity

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 […]

What do you

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 […]

Why will unbelievers be judged according to their works at the Great White Throne Judgment

I was one of four authors of a book titled, Four Views on the Role of Works in the Final Judgment, published by Zondervan. In response to my claim that John 5:24 proves believers will not be judged at the […]

What kind of gospel do you proclaim

I have spoken on behalf of GES for many years. Both verbally and in print, I and others like me have been labeled as “non-(fill in the blank) gospel” believers. We believe the unbeliever must believe in Jesus for eternal life in order […]

What medals do unbelievers hope place their hope in (1)

I recently heard a story that I’m pretty confident is true. Most of us have seen pictures of the warehouses at Auschwitz. The Nazis collected all the personal effects—shoes, clothes, jewelry, toys, etc.—of those who died in the gas chambers. There were […]

Did you know

I don’t remember hearing the expression eschatological salvation when I was studying at Dallas Theological Seminary. But over the past thirty years or so I’ve noticed that expression occurring increasingly in the commentary literature. Some pastors are using it as well.   So, […]

How important is

Israel was at war. The Midianites and their allies had severely afflicted the nation for seven years (Judg 6:1). However, God raised up Gideon to defeat those enemies and bring relief.  When Israel went to […]

Do open Theists (1)

Ricky asks, “Can you write an answer to Open Theology? I’m looking to answer a friend who hold to this heresy.”   I prefer the term Open Theism. We are all to be like the Bereans of Acts 17:11 […]

Winter

Most readers of this blog are familiar with Heb 11:6. It says that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. I was reading an OT passage recently that demonstrates the Lord’s grace in determining who it is that diligently seeks Him.  It’s likely […]

Why is it wrong to take the meaning of perish in John 316 and impose that on every other NT use of the word (3)

One of my many faults is that I’m sarcastic. I don’t think sarcasm is always wrong, but there have been many times when I’ve taken it too far. Even so, I love a good sarcastic remark.  We […]
