Romans 9:1-24
In this part of the Bible that emphasizes the sovereignty of God, we see Paul sorrowing. We see him praying and worshipping. He did not feel that God's sovereignty in any way destroyed man's responsibility.
The God who ordains the end that is saving the lost also, ordains the...
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him. And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy...
To those among you who fear God!
Is death something you fear? Death is an unknown territory for us, so I believe we all fear it. It is not unknown territory to Jesus, though. Unlike all other people, he raised himself from the dead after dying. Just type "Who raised himself from the dead?" in a...
In our Bible reading for today, it seems impossible to witness and teach the bible without encountering opposition. It is almost a certainty that whenever I post on message boards the truths of the Bible, someone will attempt to divert attention away from them. Most likely, you'll hear "Do Not...

I managed to get through the entire book of Job and I got to say that this is a story that while is long and drawn out, is something every Christian should study. A riches-to-rags-to-riches story that teaches the diligent student the truth about many questions, especially the one important one...
There is a saying I heard a long time ago: "To deny the Trinity is to lose your soul, but to try to understand the Trinity is to lose your mind." Understanding how there can be three distinct aspects of God in the form of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost has perplexed thinkers and theologians for...

Hello Everyone!
I am very new to bible studies but I've been studying Acts 27 and at the end, we can see that God did keep his promise to save Paul and to save all of the 276 people that were on board. However, it made me think why did survival happen in such a "chaotic" way? Why God couldn't...

This forum has turned into the forum of opinions and also a battlefield of the (PROUD) which isn’t the way it should be.
This place should be a discussion about scripture since the bible is our authority that’s if you’re a real Christian that is, and also about historical...
Greetings all,
there has been discussion on other threads regarding hell and if people go to hell or not.
It has been raised that the Bible does not say that people will go to hell, which flies in the face of what most people think.
The purpose of this thread is to look at what the Scripture...

Would anyone be interested in being my student?
You see that a person...
Throughout the New Testament, followers of Christ are instructed to put off certain actions or attitudes and to put on others. Those actions or attitudes we are to put off are from our old sinful nature, from our flesh and its way of doing things. Those we are to put on are from our new...
We experience different seasons in life. Some are full of joyful contentment and others discouragement and disillusionment. How do we enjoy the good times and endure the difficult ones? In this sermon, Dr. Stanley teaches how to rely on the sovereign God and trust Him to guide us through every...
The prince of Persia is only mentioned in Daniel 10, a highly apocalyptic (and therefore at least partially symbolic) section of the book of Daniel. Most likely, the prince of Persia is a reference to an evil spiritual entity that wielded authority over the ancient kingdom of Persia.
