耶稣以俯伏的姿势祷告 - 马太福音 26:39
马太福音 26:39 耶稣又往前走了一点，俯伏在地，祷告说，"我父啊，倘若可行，求你叫这杯离开我。然而，不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。" 姿势 在伊斯兰教中，人们通过各种姿势祷告，包括弯腰俯伏在地（这里指从腰部弯曲，面部朝向地面）。穆斯林按照阿拉伯语中的 salah 或 salat 仪式祷告，五次朝向麦加的卡巴圣殿。在伊斯兰教中，人们认为耶稣在马太福音…
Can your briefly explain election in Romans 8:29-30?
I apologize, but this answer even in a very brief form is rather long. But in attempting to keep it as simple as possible: Romans 8:29-30 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be…
Things God Can't Do?
Well, depending on how one views the question, there are many more than seven. Since I do not know what the focus of the particular sermon was, I will list just a few: While God can do all things in…
Theological Flowerbeds - D.A.I.S.Y. vs. T.U.L.I.P.
Calvinism is more than a mere five points; it includes the entire Bible. Such documents as the Westminster Confession of Faith barely skim the surface of what true Calvinism means. Among other things…
What color was Jesus' robe? Matthew 27:28, Mark 15:17, and John 19:2
Matthew 27:28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. Mark 15:17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. Mark 15:20 And when they had mocked…
Freemasonry and Idolatry
Thanks for your question. This is a topic very close to my heart as my own father was a Mason. When he died he didn’t go to Heaven. Though a devote Freemason, he never knew Christ as his Lord and…
The Re-Newed or New Covenant?
In Jeremiah 31:31 we see God renewing, restoring, or refreshing - not replacing - the covenant with his people. So why do we express the covenant in such terms? While there are a myriad of answers…
Is the Sabbath Saturday or Sunday?
The argument for Sunday observance of the Sabbath which I find most compelling is as follows: We begin with the premise that the Bible doesn't actually teach that we are to meet on the seventh day of…
Jesus the Sinner
No, Jesus never sinned. The Bible specifically says that Jesus was sinless: "Christ . . . offered himself without blemish to God" (Heb. 9:14). The author of Hebrews also teaches: "Since then we have…
Calvinism and John 3:16?
John 3:16 is probably the first verse that most in the Christian faith memorize. It is more than likely the most misinterpreted verse in Scripture. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave…
Moses - a Type of Christ?
A. W. Pink in his book, Gleanings in Genesis lists some similarities between Moses and Christ. He says: 1. His nationality. Moses was an Israelite (Ex. 2:1, 2). So, according to the flesh, was…
Is Abortion Murder?
"Yes" abortion is murder. Abortion is not a reproductive right, as reproduction has already taken place. Therefore, abortion is murder. Abortion: A Brief Ancient History of a Despicable Crime…
Calvinism and 1 Timothy 2:4, 6?
Thanks for your question. The Reformed faith teaches that Jesus died only for the elect and not for every single person in the world. See "Calvinism and Titus 2:11?" and "Calvinism and 1 John 2:2?"…
Calvinism and 1 John 2:2?
Thanks for our question. Since, I briefly discuss the definition of the biblical doctrine of limited atonement under "Calvinism and 1 Timothy 2:4, 6?" and "Calvinism and Titus 2:11?" (see below), I'm…
Did Calvin murder Servetus?
First, let me start with a little history regarding the five points of Calvinism. John Calvin died in 1564, and in 1610 the Arminians the followers of Jacob Arminius, who had died a year before, drew…
Calvinism and Ezekiel 18:32; 33:11?
There are some texts in Scripture that are difficult to understand. Two of these are: Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone , declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!…
Why was the Bible Written?
We do believe that all the biblical books were written for specific purposes other than maintaining a historical record, and there are many reasons that we believe this. First, some books actually…
Jesus, a devout Muslim?
No, Jesus was/is not a Muslim, devote or otherwise. Jesus was born approximately 600 years before Muhammad (571-632 A.D.) and the period of the creation of Islam (608-632 A.D.). Let’s approach your…
Is Murder ever Justified?
Thanks for your question. Murder is never Justified: The sixth commandment states, "You shall not murder" (Exod 20:13; Deut 5:17). What is murder? As a former homicide detective, I'm aware that…
Calvinism and Matthew 23:37?
Your question is referring to universalism, and there are several texts of Scripture that appear to speak to this: Ezekiel 18:23, 32; 33:11; I Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9. However, when properly…
Baptism vs. Dedication
There are a couple important differences between dedication and baptism in general. First, the Bible instructs us to baptize people but it does not instruct us to dedicate them. There are examples of…
Does God use broken people?
Just by asking this question, God has used you. The Great Physician and Master Mender uses broken, repentant people. Vance Havner, a Baptist pastor, (1901-1986) once said: God uses broken things. It…
Jesus and Michael
No, Michael and Jesus are not one and the same. The suggestion that they are one in the same is based on a poor understanding of Hebrew as well as on some very incorrect interpretations of particular…
