So, what’s the deal with Lordship salvation?
It is a corruption “from the simplicity that is in Christ,” (2 Cor. 11:3). Lordship salvation is a doctrine that basically says a person cannot be saved by merely believing on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31). A person must “do” more than that. He must repent of his sins, being truly sorry for them […]
What can we learn about “Lordship salvation” from Abraham?
That “Lordship salvation” is false. Abraham’s salvation is good to examine when discussing Lordship salvation because his imputed righteousness (Gen. 15:6) is mentioned in the New Testament as an example of our salvation. We find his salvation, on the one hand, as a proof of righteousness by faith without works (Rom. 4:3-6). Yet, we find […]
Does a wife still need Jesus if she’s been sanctified by her husband (1 Cor 7:14)?
Yes. This is a very interesting question from 1 Cor 7:12-16. This passage deals with couples who are unequally yoked; that is one spouse is saved and the other is not. 1 Cor 7:14 states that the unbelieving spouse is sanctified by the saved spouse. And since the dictionary definition of “sanctify” is to “make […]
Does divorce disqualify men from being pastors?
No. Before diving into the answer to this question, let’s be clear about one thing. Divorce is a bad deal. When the Pharisees questioned Jesus about divorce, he told them that it was only allowed because of “the hardness of your hearts,” (Matt 19:1-9). God’s intention was for one man and one woman to marry […]
When did God no longer allow marriage between close relatives?
Shortly before Israel occupied Canaan. After God created Adam and Eve, they had sons and daughters [Gen 5:4]. In order for their children to marry and reproduce, it was necessary for brothers to marry their sisters. People have often asked, “Where did Cain get his wife?” The answer is simple, “He married his sister.” There […]
What are some things I can do to prepare for marriage?
Great question! We received this question earlier this week. Actually, there was a follow-up question that went with it. The fellow that emailed us asked, “What are some things that I can avoid that will damage my marriage later?” So, we’ll answer both of these questions in the same answer. This answer is from the […]

Is Freemasonry Biblical?
No. Freemasonry is not for Christians, as you will see. The doctrines of freemasonry are contrary to the doctrines of Jesus Christ. In this answer, we will be making reference to a document called “Entered Apprentice Degree of Freemasonry” as practiced in the State of Nevada circa 1986. You may view this document at http://www.ephesians5-11.org/pdf/eadeg.pdf. […]
Do Modern Bibles really obscure the Deity of Christ?
Yes! Here are just a few examples of the worst changes that have been made in modern Bibles that distort clear references to Jesus’ deity. The doctrine of the deity of Christ is simply that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. When modern Bibles change verses that strongly support this doctrine, they are […]
