Theological Discussion, Church History and Patristics

What the hell is "Hell", anyway? (Part Two) In part one, I covered a lot of New Testament texts, a few Old Testament passages, plus a look at what some of the earliest church leaders also wrote on the topic to the early church. In this one, we will be looking at a few more Old Testament examples and how they relate to the imagery used in Revelation, amongst other things. https://www.thatancientfaith.uk/home/perma/1625296080/article/an-examination-of-conditional-immortality-part-2.html

Seminary professors tell their students that the NASB is the most exact and accurate Bible while small country churches claim that the KJV is the most exact and accurate Bible. Which one is it, then?

When King Jesus was a baby he chose which man on earth would be His guardian. He chose a man willing to provide and protect his wife and child by obeying God. Shouldn't all Christian men desire to follow that example of manhood? https://youtu.be/3BtRZAVqDPU

The Book of Enoch is mentioned in all sorts of pop culture references and some believe it should be included in the canon of the Bible.... but should this ancient writing really be considered worthy of acceptance as inspired by God? https://youtu.be/2WncBxvsOCQ

The Unity the Holy Spirit gives us as believers is seen in 1 Corinthians 12:13-14 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. -- For the body is not one member, but many." https://youtu.be/AGYv9h482t4

Churches don’t often talk about sexual assault, but maybe we should. The CDC says that Sexual violence is common in our society. One in 4 women and about 1 in 26 men have experienced a completed or attempted sexual assault.

One of the most confusing passages in the Bible is found in 1 Corinthians 11 discussing the wearing of head coverings. While an understanding of the ancient society is needed, the main point concerns gender roles and how God has designed men and women in His creation order. This is a topic greatly misunderstood even today! https://youtu.be/9t6upo3rg3Q

What one wrong decision is keeping you from becoming what God desires for your life? One decision can make you into a hero or a horror! The only right decision is the one made “in Christ!” https://youtu.be/8sbbcCFnNaA

While you may think it is wise to stay away from false worship, would you, in the modern day, say you are scared to participate in false worship? Do people realize the danger of participating with false religions and pretending that we are all worshipping the same God? There is a REAL DANGER in false worship! https://youtu.be/57sRMJZKvnk

Would you believe that a man who had died had risen again after 3 days in the grave? I think most people wouldn’t today. I think that way because THIS HAS HAPPENED and, even though many claim to believe it, they simply don’t live like they believe it… https://youtu.be/vzLjMY2chmE
