What Is “Sin”? How Can I Know Right From Wrong?
In the simplest of terms, sin is “missing the mark,” that is, failing to obey something that God tells us to do. In today’s “postmodern” culture where there is supposedly no absolute standard for Truth, too many people move the target, as it were, after the fact in order to make it look as if their behavioral arrow hit the …
What is “Faith”?
The Greek word translated “faith” is pistis, and it simply means “trust.” In what? A rational, intelligible promise. Faith is not superstition. Nor is it as modern dictionaries say: “A belief not based on reason.” Just the opposite. When God says, “Take my Word for it,” faith says YES. Because God gave man free will, faith is the simplest thing He …

What is the Importance of Water Baptism?

What Happens to a Person After Death?

What Does the Bible Teach About the Trinity?
Absolutely nothing. This may shock you, but, as every honest Trinitarian will admit, the word “Trinity’ is nowhere in Scripture. Neither are the curious terms, “God the Son” nor “three-in-one” nor “all God and all man,” nor any of the other extra-biblical terminology that Trinitarian theologians use in their convoluted and desperate defense of this inconceivable doctrine.
