Apologetic Defense of the faith, the Bible, and Christianity
Who was Jesus Christ? Who Did Jesus Think He Was? What Did Jesus Think of Himself? Did he actually believe that he was the divinely appointed Messiah of the Jews, as the Gospels say he did? Did Jesus Think He was God?
This shows that there is no such doctrine as ‘Once saved, always saved.’ After we accept Jesus as our Savior and Redeemer and dedicating our lives to God, we have only entered the path to salvation, not finished the race.
I have 20 Facebook groups that I either own or am the main admin of, and none are on theology. Why? Three reasons really.
A study of many Bible passages shows that while the angels and God are at times distinguished from each other, they are with equal frequency, and in the same passages, merged into each other. How is this to be explained?
Life is animate being, and once it begins it inexorably leads to death. At least this is the case after the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden. (Gen. 2:17; 3:1-6) This will not be the case after Jesus' Second Coming. Death is a cessation of life, an irreversible state that is characterized by the cessation of all those processes that sustain life.
Does God Exist? Can We Know There Is a God? A large class of theologians and philosophers deny that the existence of God is susceptible of proof. This is done on different grounds.
The existence of God is so obviously manifested, by everything within and around us, the belief in that existence is so natural, so suited to what we see and what we need, that it comes to be generally adopted.
What About Today? Yes, God did communicate with some in the Bible times by way of dreams. But the Bible shows that this was very uncommon. Dreams were never the primary form of divine communication.
By innate knowledge is meant that which is due to our constitution, as sentient, rational, and moral beings. It is opposed to knowledge founded on experience; to that obtained by ab extra instruction, and to that acquired by a process of research and reasoning.
There is no other doctrine that has been so hotly debated in the last 2,000 years. Christians have literally killed Christians for believing differently. All other Christian doctrines have several different views. This is not the case with the Trinity doctrine, if one ever so slightly gets of course from the orthodox view, it is tantamount to heresy.
