Is it possible that Gehenna is another name for the lake of fire

My friend Bill Fiess sent me an email suggesting that my view of Gehenna was not correct. He wrote: “It has been suggested (I think by you) that hell is not the same as the lake of fire [Rev 20:15], but I think that Matt 18:8-9 [and also the parallel Mark 9:45-47] suggest otherwise.” Matthew […]

Cataratas espirituales

¿Conoces a personas que se hayan operado de cataratas? Tal vez sí. Es probable que todos necesitemos esa operación si vivimos lo suficiente. Las cataratas son un deterioro físico de nuestra visión. El cristalino del ojo deja de funcionar correctamente. El resultado es una disminución de la visión, especialmente por la noche. Arreglarlo es sencillo: […]

Ano Ang Isyu Sa Malahiningang (Maligamagam) Na Mga Kristiyano Sa Laodicea

Nagtanong si PC: Batid ko na si Bob Wilkin ay may sinulat na artikulo tungkol sa malahiningang (maligamgam) mga Kristiyano, ngunit lubos akong magagalak sa karagdagang mga komento, kung maaari. Sa Pahayag 3, binanggit ni Jesus na alam Niya ang kanilang (mga taga-Laodicea) mga gawa. Bakit Siya hindi nasisiyahan sa kanilang mga gawa? Ito ba […]

Would you find it difficult to read 5 to 10 pages a week and answer questions as part of a small group

A friend who does college ministry on campus for several colleges in his area asked me if we have any discipleship materials: “Do you have any Free Grace follow-up material on things like assurance of salvation, quiet times, walking in the Spirit, the Great Commission, and the need for fellowship. I’d prefer FG material.” We […]

Fé em cativeiro

“A própria fé foi levada cativa pelo legalismo.” ~ Gerhard Forde Desde a veemente denúncia de Paulo sobre a observância da lei judaica em Gálatas e Romanos, a tradição cristã reconheceu, ainda que com relutância, que o legalismo é a sentença de morte da fé em Cristo. Mesmo aquelas igrejas mais intimamente identificadas com tendências […]

Did John Fail

When people hear the claim that John wrote his Gospel with an evangelistic purpose, they’re often surprised because they’ve never heard that before. But after reading John 20:30-31, they usually admit that is the case. However, people become very skeptical when you start reasoning based on that premise, such as deducing that John’s Gospel must […]

Sesenta segundos con un defensor de la salvación por señorío

P: Si solo tuvieras un minuto para expresar tu punto de vista, ¿qué le dirías a alguien que cree en la necesidad de la salvación por señorío? R: Si la persona viene de un contexto cristiano, se puede asumir/asumiría que cree que Jesús es El Salvador (al menos en algún sentido), y que murió en […]

Mangagibigan Kayo Sa Isa’t Isa Gaya Ng Pag-Ibig Ni Jesus (Juan 1334-35; 1512)) (1)

Totoo ba na “Ang lahat ng pag-ibig ay pag-ibig”? Hindi. Hindi lahat ng tinatawag ang kaniyang sarili na pag-ibig ay nangingibig. Hindi lamang iyan, hindi lahat ng pag-ibig ay magkakatumbas. Alam mo ba na kahit ang hindi mga Kristiyano ay maaaring maging halimbawa kung paano ibigin ang iba? Sabi ni Jesus, “At kung kayo’y magsiibig […]

Should we be concerned about the eternal destiny of friends and loved ones who believe in salvation by faith plus works

Works salvation is the view that justification is not by faith alone, but is by faith plus works (e.g., baptism, turning from sins, and perseverance in obedience). Many who call themselves Evangelicals today believe that works salvation is a saving message. That obviously includes those who believe in works salvation themselves. One denomination teaches that […]

La salvación viene a través de la fe en Cristo, aparte de la Ley

Resulta que soy un verdadero antinomiano. Esa es una palabra grandilocuente. Antinomiano significa estar “contra” (anti) “la ley” (nomos). Ahora bien, hay diferentes maneras de estar en contra de la Ley, por lo que hay diferentes definiciones de antinomianismo. Aquí hay una definición: “Hablamos de los verdaderos antinomianos, que afirman que la Ley es innecesaria […]
