Forgiveness of Sins



Take a few moments to consider how you would answer the following questions.

(1) How many of your sins do you want God to forgive?

(2) How many sins of the person you hate the most are you willing to forgive?

(3) What does that person you hate the most have to do for you to forgive him or her?

(4) What if God required you to do those same things to receive forgiveness?

How do you think Jesus would answer those questions? He used techniques like this to make important points.

If we use a Greek text of Matthew 5:18, the Greek word translators read for “ jot ” is “ iota .” Iota is the name of a Greek letter. It is usually transliterated by the English “ i .”  Ho...

Tackling the Big Elephant in the Room - The Afterlife

Beliefs about the afterlife -- “ salvation ” -- are the biggest barriers keeping many Christians from straying away from their long held beliefs. This is completely understandable when so much is at stake in their minds – spending eternity in Heaven or Hell! Of course, there isn’t just one Christian Belief System in existence today. According to World Christian Trends AD 30 – AD 2200 by David B. Barrett & Todd M. Johnson (© 2001 by David B. Barrett; William Carey Library, Pasadena, CA; p. 33): In 1970 global Christianity had 18,630 denominations/paradenominations. In 2000 global Christianity had 33,820 denominations/paradenominations. Estimates in 2017 indicate there are now probably 40,000 or more. Paradenominations are groups with religious agendas that specialize in specific areas, i.e., families, abortion, etc. What this means is that when someone asks questions about Christian beliefs, creeds, doctrines, etc., they may get a lot of answers that do not agree....
