Unprofitable Things

Jesus calls Tax Collector Matthew to follow him

If the church is not called to fight sin, why do the Apostles advise us to avoid certain things? Paul writes to the Corinthians - ‘All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable’ - 1Cor 6:12. First of all, what an unabashedly bold statement! All things are lawful for the church! Yes, we stand justified by Christ, and hence God does not count sins we commit in our flesh. So all things are indeed lawful for us! But are all things profitable for the race marked out for us?

El problema de muerte

Why do people die? Was it supposed to be this way? Were human beings destined to live and die as a natural order of things that atheists claim to be the case? Animals die, don’t they? What happens when a man dies? What did Jesus Christ say about death? Does science agree with the bible on the state of death? What is a soul according to the Bible? Can the soul die? What about the spirit? Won't that live on after death?

The Co-Equality Question

He answered them, ‘My Father is working until now, and I myself am working.’ For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God (John 5:17-18). Although it doesn't mention the Holy Spirit, this verse is usually quoted to support a co-equal trinity. Let us study this verse's context and also look at other passages where Jesus directly states what kind of relationship he has with the Father.

Fundamentalism – Earth to End?

Fundamentalists claim the Earth is to be destroyed. Is that scripturally correct? Why does Jesus say the meek shall inherit the Earth? And why do Scriptures say 'the Earth abideth forever'? Is there a difference between the end of the age and the end of the world? Why does the Bible predict interesting events that happen on the Earth after the "fire" of God's jealousy devours the planet?

The Spirit vs The Flesh

Jesus in Gethsemane

“Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Rom 8:5-6. Many think that a mind governed by the flesh refers to sin. But are acts of the flesh just sin alone? No, everything we do is an act of the flesh.

El rescate DE LA HUMANIDAD

If all of Adam’s race fall asleep in death as a penalty for Adam’s sin, how can the Bible (1Cor 15:22) promise ‘in Christ all will be made alive’? God declares in the Bible – ‘I will RANSOM them [mankind] from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death (Hosea 13:14). In 1Timothy 2:3-6, we see Paul describe how Jesus Christ fulfilled God's promise. In his explanation, what does he mean by these phrases - 'ransom for all', 'to be testified in due time' and 'to be saved and to come unto the truth'?

The ‘No Beginning’ Question

Trinitarians promote the theory that God and Jesus always existed eternally – with no beginning. If the question is asked whether Jesus and God will always exist, then the answer is yes, according to the Scriptures. But if the question is about whether God and Jesus both did not have a beginning, then the answer has to be researched further from the Scriptures. Let us look at some passages on this topic. Also the terms Father and Son themselves help us understand it better.

Spiritualism: All in the Mind?

Spiritualists theorize that the Kingdom is just in the spiritual realm. They usually quote Luke 17:21 to claim the Kingdom is "within" people. Did Jesus really tell the Pharisees that his Kingdom was within their hearts? What did he actually tell them? How can his statement be harmonized with the rest of the Bible?

The Body of Christ

How do we know whether someone belongs to the Body of Christ? Well, anyone who has dedicated his/her life to follow Christ’s footsteps after understanding the Bible’s foundational doctrines of the gospel of the kingdom of God belongs to the Body of Christ. But the Bible is huge. Can we really identify the essential foundations of the biblical Christian gospel? And if someone differs in those foundational doctrines, could they still be part of the Body of Christ?

Tiempos de la restauración de todas las cosas

God is the Savior of ALL men, SPECIALLY of those that believe (1Tim 4:10 ASV). This scripture does promise God's redemption for ALL men and also a SPECIAL salvation for the believers. Does this mean everyone will get a free pass? And what exactly is this SPECIAL salvation promised for present-day believers? And Jesus says, 'To the one who does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations' (Rev 2:26 NIV). What are these nations and why are they going to be ruled by the followers of Christ?
