What if you moral code is in conflict with God’s moral code? Does your moral code collide with the oldest moral code in recorded human history? Does your moral code consist of three-syllable words that were never used ten years ago? The Progressive Nine Commandments First Commandment: Truth is Yours To Decide (Be your own god) Thou Sh...

The first week of December, Andy Stanley stated the following. “If somebody can predict their own death and then their own resurrection, I’m not all that concerned about how they got into the world.” “Christianity doesn’t hinge on the truth or even the stories around the Birth of Jesus.” Does it matter “Who” was born that day? Why and How? Also if people might struggle with the “incarnation story” wouldn’t they also struggle with the “resurrection story”? 1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit o...

What Happens To Your Spirit When You Die? The Bible’s answer eliminates a lot of pagan ideas. Ghosts, soul sleep, annihilation [Heb 9:27-28 ESV] 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Christology 4 For us, He kept the Law, atoned for sin, and satisfied God’s wrath. He took our filthy rags and gave us His righteous robe. We affirm that Jesus is the perfect and supreme image of God, and that to be truly human is to be conformed to His image. We also deny that sin is inherent to true humanity or that Jesus’ sinlessness is incompatible with His being truly human. People who believe in free will believe evil is part of that “freedom”. Yet, Christ as a human truly had a free will, ...
