At our recent conference, I suggested that if Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit after a reasonable period of time (e.g., three months), God would have removed the temptation, and He would have changed Adam and Eve so that they and their descendants would thereafter be unable to sin. One online viewer […]
¿Comprendió la mujer samaritana que Jesús le estaba ofreciendo la vida eterna? ¿Es ese el tipo de salvación que ella y otros samaritanos esperaban del Mesías? ¿Estaban pensando en términos eternos? ¿O creyeron en Él sin pensar en la salvación, y mucho menos en la vida eterna? Pues, ¿Qué dijo Jesús que le daría a […]
Based on verses such as 1 Thess 5:23, I believe that the human person is “tripartite”—that is, we are spirit, soul, and body. Hebrews 4:12 is another verse that supports the tripartite view. It also suggests an important clue about the role of the spirit in the human person: For the word of God is […]
Hoje, ao ler Mateus 26, me deparei com as palavras bom trabalho. Veja Mateus 26:10. Uma mulher ungiu a cabeça de Jesus com “óleo perfumado caro”. Curiosamente, os próprios discípulos de Jesus “ficaram indignados” e indicaram que consideravam esse ato uma péssima ação. Mas depois que eles protestaram contra o que ela fez, o Senhor […]
Here is another question from our recent annual conference: John 8:56 says, “Abraham rejoiced to see My day—and He saw it was glad.” If people say that Abraham was not rejoicing about the forgiveness of sins and eternal life that Christ would bring, what do they say he was rejoicing about? First, let’s answer the […]
¿Era normal para los judíos creer que la salvación de Dios es eterna? ¿Era normal que para ellos pensar en el futuro Mesías en términos “eternos”? ¿Era la salvación eterna algo de lo que estaban conscientes? Considera algunos versículos de Daniel. Daniel profetizó sobre un reino venidero. ¿Cuánto tiempo dijo que duraría ese reino? “Y […]
Christians have inherited an unbiblical view of eternity. It comes from a mixture of Greek philosophy, medieval theology, and lots of folk tradition. In sum, people wrongly think that in eternity we’ll be angels sitting on clouds and playing harps. That’s not the Biblical view. At least, Free Grace people don’t think so. God created […]
Tengo un amigo pastor que tiene tatuajes en ambas muñecas. En una muñeca tiene escrita la palabra griega pathēma, que significa sufrimiento. En la otra muñeca tiene la palabra griega doxa, que significa gloria. Le pregunté sobre sus tatuajes. Me dijo que le recuerdan que el grado de participación en la gloria venidera de Cristo […]
George Harrison uma vez passou por um outdoor de igreja que dizia: “Fofoca: The Devil’s Radio…Don’t Be a Broadcaster.” Essa mensagem atingiu o alvo. Por ser um Beatle, a imprensa fofocava sobre ele constantemente e doía. Isso inspirou Harrison a escrever a música “Devil’s Radio”. Não é interessante que mesmo um não-cristão possa entender e […]
Question What are your thoughts on this verse? The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil (Prov 16:4). Answer I think of that verse in light of God’s foreknowledge and His providence over creation. As you probably know, Christians disagree over those subjects, and I’ve written […]
