The simple answer is that this is St Saul’s “I die daily”. We were once sold into slavery by Eve and Adam. The sacrificial gift of our Redeemer the Lamb was...

What about Ephesians 1:13, 4:30 or Hebrews 13:5?

All of the references to God's hate are Old Testament. The New Testament teaches us that God (Jesus) is love and not hate. Never is it mentioned that Jesus...

Marc, continue to pray for him! The passage simply says that God chose before time that those in Him (believers) would be Holy and adopted - not that He...

I have a really good friend of mine who is believing in a false doctrine called the Urantia book. Because I have discernment I can perceive right away that...
