301: Apostle Paul never kept the sabbath, certainly not 84 times as ...
... Click to View Adventist False Argument #3: "In Acts 18:4, Paul's custom was to worship on the Sabbath with Greeks. This proves it was not a Jewish worship service but a Christ centered worship service separate from the Jewish synagogue worship. The Greeks were uncircumcised and did not keep the Sabbath or the Law of Moses. False Argument #3 Refuted: Notice the word "persuade". Paul's work here was 100% evangelism. There is no example of Paul ever meeting on the Sabbath day for worship. Notice also that these were "unbelievers" in Christ before Paul preached to them. Yes they believed in the Jewish system, but the Bible says in Acts 14:1, that they BECAME believers proving Paul's work there was evangelism not worship. The Greeks were Jewish converts to Judaism known as proselytes. They were not pagan Greeks but Greeks who practiced the law of Moses and kept the Sabbath. just as if he was a native Hebrew. The only Greeks that were in the synagogue would be these proselytes. These Greeks ... ...

Isaiah 45:23-24: "I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, 'Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.' Men will come to Him, And" all who were angry at Him shall be put to shame.

... Hence, "drink of the one Spirit" = "communion of the Holy Spirit" = "He abides with you, and will be in you". The verse says that the "person of Jesus Christ" is the source and supplier of grace, the "person of God" is the source and supplier of Love and the "person of the Holy Spirit" is the source and supplier of fellowship. This is the only logical and consistent way to read the text. Some want to translate Phil 2:1-2 as "if anyone has a sharing spirit" rather than "if there is any fellowship of the Holy Spirit."

307: What The Death Of Christ Accomplished!
What The Death Of Christ Accomplished! The reasons behind why Jesus died are a combination of God's plan and man's foolish sin in killing an innocent man. The foremost reason is the love of God, Rom 8:5; 1 Jn 3:16. Man had a desperate need for redemption, Rom 3:10; Mt 20:28; Heb 2:9; 1 Ti 1:15. Ultimately, a need for the remission of sins, Rom 2:5; Heb 9:22; Lk 24:46; Acts 17:3; 1 Cor 15:3. Jesus was that "acceptable sacrifice" to God, Mt 20:28; Eph 5:2; 1 Th 5:10. It was God's plan that Jesus died "vicariously" or in place of those who deserved it. This vicarious pattern was illustrated directly through the Old ... On a grandeur scale, the death of Christ provided a foundational "model" and the most basic reference point that Christians are to focus upon. It sets the tone and outlook as Christians.

308: Could mass murder Jeffrey Dahmer get to heaven before YOU?
I must admit that when I first heard this bizarre twist of events, that I had no problem believing God could forgive. My problem was believing that someone like Dahmer could truly repent of his sins. The Jews on Pentecost asked Apostle Peter after he convicted them of murdering Jesus Christ, "What shall we do?" Peter replied to them, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of your sins" Acts 2:37-38. Which sin was worse? Dahmer's or the murder of the sinless Christ? God forgave 3000 souls of their sin of murdering Christ. "So then, those who had received Peter's word were baptized; and there were added that day about three ... Will Dahmer go to heaven? No one knows except God. It will be based upon the genuiness of Dahmer's repentance and conversion. But I would personally like to think he is. In fact I would like God to use Jeffery Dahmer as an example of His divine forgiveness. Perhaps God picks one notorious sinner who repented from each generation and holds him up ... ...

324: reincarnation and the Bible
... appearing on a new-born child and corresponding to the same birth marks of deceased family member). Along with the possibility of cryptomnesia, Stevenson lists the possible explanations of E.S.P. (extra-sensory perception), genetic memory, and demonic possession as alternative explanations of persons who experience spontaneous recall of 'past memories.' Some suggest that the Bible teaches John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah, but that obviously is not the case for Elijah the Prophet never died (cf. II Kings 2), and John the Baptist was the Prophet Elijah in the sense that he came in the 'spirit and power' of Elijah (Luke 1:17). Conclusion The Bible is clear that a person dies only once (Hebrews 9:27), and we such we can be certain that the doctrine of reincarnation is false.

325: Why is Christianity the only true world Religion?
... This prophetic story has its setting in Jewish history centuries before the birth of Christ. Moses told how God would raise up a prophet to whom the people should listen. Deuteronomy 18:15. Micah said he would be born in Bethlehem - Micah 5:2. The entire 53rd Chapter of Isaiah describes him as God's suffering servant, sent out from the Lord to redeem mankind from sins. Joseph was told, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21. This puts Christianity into a category all to itself. When Jesus was born, numerous forces and factors converged on this ... Read John 11.
