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,...
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.

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...
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...
The King James Bible. In your life, there are established authorities that must be obeyed or else you will suffer adverse consequences. Of course, if you obey the authorities, you get to enjoy the privileges and benefits of following the authorities, as well. For instance, a stop sign is an...
Yes! We have here on the desk a New International Version, copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society. There is a preface in this Bible that makes the following statements: “From the beginning of the project, the Committee on Bible Translation held to certain goals for the New...
