Predestiny versus Free Will

Predestiny and free will are two choices given to us by Christian denominations. By people, really. Those who influence what denominations believe about what God said. But are they choices given to us by God? You know, the One who gave the words to the people who actually wrote the books in the Bible? What if God’s words, not men’s words, say that predestiny is about the free will choices we make? We begin with Calvinist core beliefs.

Will the beast in Revelation be able to deceive Christians?

Will the beast in Revelation be able to deceive Christians?

A look at ourselves

There’s no reason to think the actual beast in Revelation exists today. There are prerequisites, events that must take place before the antichrist makes his or her appearance.

So why go through all this if the beast doesn’t exist yet? Well, because it matters. If we can be deceived today, what hope do we have when the events in Revelation start to unfold?

Given that we’re so easily deceived today, it’s critically important that we learn to listen to the Holy Spirit. In church-speak, to be able to discern the difference between truth and lies. Not on our own, but with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let’s look at a few examples of things that deceive Christians, even today
As I said, these examples are important. The things that deceive Christians today are from “ordinary” people. In other words, they aren’t from the antichrist. Not from the beast in Revelation.

Is Hell on earth a real thing?

A look at ourselves

We talk about something being Hell on earth.  But is this really it?  But before we got there, let’s see what Hell means.  Of course, it’s about the devil, Satan, being in charge.  And everything happens his way.  That’s what being in charge is about, right?  And one other thing.  For those of you that believe in God, He’s not there.

The Great Commission and The End Times - the end and the beginning?

The Great Commission and The End Times

Artisanal Bible Study

The Great Commission and The End Times – Is the completion of one the beginning of the other? When the Great Commission has been fulfilled, will The End Times begin?  Are we actually working to bring about the events in Revelation when we spread the Gospel?  In a sense, even without tying the two together, every second that passes by is bringing us one second closer to The End Times.  It’s just a fact of time.  The question is one of whether there’s a Biblical link between the two.

Whoever loves God must also love his brother and sister

A look at ourselves

Whoever loves God must also love his brother and sister.  That’s not from me.  It’s from the Bible.  Certainly, non-Christians might feel no obligation to obey it.  But if we’re Christian, it’s not a suggestion.  It’s not just a “nice” thing to think about.  It’s a command!  And there aren’t any exceptions to go with it.  In case you’re wondering, or even if you’re not, that includes our “brothers and sisters” from another country.  Again, Jesus gives no exceptions.
