Does God Control Sin?
Does God Control Sin?
Firstly, we have to establish what is meant by the word “control”
As defined by the Oxford English dictionary;
When used as a noun
“the power to influence or direct people's behaviour or the course of events”
And as a verb
“determine the behaviour or supervise the running of”
There is no doubt that God is indeed Absolutely Sovereign, which means that He can do anything without any restraints or restrictions. This is very clear in the entire Bible.
Secondly,... -
The KJV and The Holy Spirit
The KJV and The Holy Spirit
The King James Version of 1611, has for reasons that are not known, translated the Greek in certain passages, that refer to The Holy Spirit, by using the impersonal, neuter gender. There is no justification for what the translators have done. The Holy Spirit is Personal, as much as The Father and Jesus Christ are. The Three are “Persons” in The Holy Trinity.

“And Iohn bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heauen, like a Doue, and it... -
Elements of Bible Translation
By this title I mean things that a Bible translator must know or check or learn in order to do the best possible Bible translation. Sure, anyone who knows a source language and a target language, both, can do a Bible translation, but it may turn out to be extremely literal (Ulphilas in the 4th century, Young's in the 20th century, etc.), or full of errors (like a certain tribal translation that had to be recalled and all the copies burned because of a single wrong word in the target... -

The Jehovah’s Witnesses Teach Jesus is Mighty God
The Jehovah’s Witnesses Teach Jesus is Mighty God
In John chapter 1, verse 1, the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s) have translated the Greek, “kai theos ēn ho logos”, as “and the Word was a god”. Based on their false translation of this verse, and elsewhere, they conclude that Jesus Christ is the "first-created" by Jehovah, Who is the Father, and the only God.
This is completely contradicted by their own translation, in their New World translation (NWT), for Isaiah 9:6, which is a Prophecy on... -
Faith is the result of Election !
2 Thess 2:13-14
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faith isnt the cause of election but the effect, it comes with having been chosen from the beginning [of time] to Salvation, which Salvation consiteth in Sanctification of... -
What does "The Limited Atonement" actually proclaim? What are the Scriptural Proofs?
The Doctrine of Limited Atonement:
w/ Scriptural Proofs.
Post content is taken from Rev. Paul Treick’s book,

is that Christ came to save a very definite number of people
(those given to Him by the Father).
"In this regard, see the following texts:"

and you shall call His name Jesus,... -
Ambiguous Word create confusion.
Here are five words frequently found in our New Testaments, translating Greek words with more than one meaning.
1) Baptism - does this refer to our water baptism in obedience to Christ, or our spiritual baptism into Christ?
2) Sanctification - does this refer to being set apart spiritually into Christ, or being progressively conformed to the image of Christ?
3) Called - does this refer to being invited to put our trust in Christ, or being spiritually transferred into Christ by God?
4) Hell... -
ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?
˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?
The very first verse in the Holy Bible reads, “In the beginning ˒ĕlōhı̂m Created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1)
“˒ĕlōhı̂m” is not a Name of God, but more a description or identity of the Supreme Divine Being in the Old Testament. “˒ĕlōhı̂m”, is masculine in gender, and plural in number. It has most probably from the root “˒ēl”, or “˒ĕlōah”, both are also masculine, but singular.
How are we to understand the plural form “˒ĕlōhı̂m”? The Jews... -
The Resurrection of Abraham and the Millennial Reign of Christ???
What if Abraham is resurrected from the dead only to find out that God did not really mean what he said in his promises to him concerning his family, the land of promise, Palestine, and a Seed through whom all the families of the world will be blessed?
What if the Amils and general resurrectionists and those who teach an eternity without an earth are right? Could any of us today really depend on the promises God has made to us, many of which depends on our own resurrection and bodily...
