My Testimony. I am from the city of Madurai (aka City of Temples), in the state of Tamil Nadu, located in southern India. I was born into a large traditional Hindu family, even from a tender age, my heart was captivated by Jesus and the stories of His life, not realizing it was.

The Lord Jesus Himself settled the issue when He spoke of “the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms” (Luke 24:44). That threefold division was the recognized structure of the Hebrew Scriptures. Within those categories are the historical writings - Joshua, Judges, Kings,.
@iamrjknight Okay, so we get the Law of Moses (5 books), Psalms (1 Book) and the Prophets (is that all of them?). What about the historical writings? Joshua, Judges, 4 books of Kings, 2 books of Chronicles, Ruth, Judith, Esther, 2 books of Esra, 2 books of Maccabees, Tobit? . Also what.

Calling it heresy does not make it so. The question is, what does Scripture teach? Jesus said plainly, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28). Paul declared, “Nothing in all creation will be able to separate.
@iamrjknight My hope is that you are not a teacher/pastor at a church because what you are saying is heresy. It is exactly what the evil one would want a flock to believe.

Yes, God revealed Himself in flesh and blood in Christ (John 1:14). But the same Christ pointed His disciples back to the written Word as the foundation of truth. When tempted, Jesus answered, “It is written” (Matthew 4:4). When speaking of His death and resurrection, He said,.
No. He chose to reveal Himself in flesh and blood. The written word may have been inspired by God, but the object of the inspiration doesn't write the love song. The NT wasn't written when they made that statement. A Jew would not presume the Chair's decision.

That claim doesn’t hold up to Scripture itself. Jesus said plainly, “Everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled” (Luke 24:44). That threefold division is the Hebrew canon. He never treated the rest as uncertain or up for.
@iamrjknight History shows that at Jesus’ time did not have a Bible Canon they all agreed with. The only writings all Jews did agree was canon was the first 5 books or the Books of Moses. Outside that there was much debate.

You raise some fair historical cautions, and I agree modern scholarship has overturned many simplistic theories. But what remains clear is this: by the time of Christ, there was a recognized body of writings held as Scripture by the Jewish people. Jesus Himself affirmed this when.
@iamrjknight Jeremiah, your reasoning here is mostly right-on and I agree with your conclusion. But as one who has done a deep dive on this stuff:. 1. Few modern scholars give credence to the 20th century theory of a "Council of Jamnia" due to, well, lack of evidence. 2. For the same.

God is not limited to a “translated document.” He chose to reveal Himself in written Word, inspired by His Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16). Jesus and the apostles constantly appealed to “It is written” as the final authority, not to later traditions. As for “honor your father and.
@iamrjknight They did, but I know you limit your God to only speaking through a translated document. Since you don't honor your father and mother (aka tradition), you do not understand why. You have been removed from the foundation of truth, and keep trying to build your houses on sand.

A true believer cannot lose salvation. Scripture is plain that salvation is God’s work from beginning to end. Grace alone: “By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8-9). If salvation is a gift of grace, it.
@iamrjknight Thank you so much, I am always in awe at your expositions. I've got a quick question here, unrelated however. Now that salvation is by grace alone and not merely do our works earn it, can one lose it?.

Romans 9 does not leave room for the idea that “vessels of wrath” are only formed by their own rebellion. Paul’s whole point is that God’s purpose in election stands not because of man’s will or effort but because of God’s mercy (Romans 9:11-16). He speaks of God hardening.
🏺 The “vessels of wrath” weren’t stamped in eternity—they were formed by rebellion, shaped by unbelief. And yet, even then, Paul says God “endures them with much patience.” Why patience, if there’s no chance of repentance? Why mercy, if the verdict was already sealed? No, God’s.

The apostles never commanded us to get an “education in the magisterium.” They commanded us to “contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). The measure of truth is not loyalty to an institution but loyalty to Christ and His Word. In fact, the first ones.
@iamrjknight If you had an education in the magisterium, you would understand that those who doubt the Church would be considered schismatic. However, I believe heretical people cannot be schismatic so that you wouldn't understand.

The verses you’ve listed are often misunderstood, but none of them teach that true believers lose salvation. Scripture is clear: “Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:38–39). Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and.
@Janice_LaRue2 @DrFrankTurek I’m so sorry — I can hear how much this weighs on your heart. When someone we love walks away, it feels like the ground shifts under us. Please don’t carry the burden alone — keep praying, and entrust her to the Lord who loves her even more than you do. Remember the prodigal son.

The absurdity!. Rome claims to be the “one true church” with an infallible magisterium, yet even among themselves they cannot agree on Vatican II. Some embrace it, others reject it, and both sides claim to be the authentic voice of the church. But if their own ��infallible”.
@JackPosobiec Vatican II needs to be reversed.

You’re right that Scripture exalts the love of God as the heart and motive of His dealings with us. “God is love” (1 John 4:8), and every command is summed up in love (Matthew 22:37–40). Without love, faith and works are worthless (1 Corinthians 13). Love is indeed the atmosphere.
@iamrjknight Okay. I figured you would say both. God is sovereign .God is righteous and Holy.God is all knowing .God is all powerful .God is omnipresent .So now let me ask you, .God is all these things yet the Bible says.-God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.-He that loves not.

The gospel flows from both God’s love and God’s sovereignty but in Scripture the foundation is always God’s sovereign purpose. His love is real and immeasurable, but it is not a vague sentiment. It is His sovereign love that chooses, redeems, and secures His people. Paul says.
@iamrjknight JK , Is the Biblical context for Gospel primarily God’s love or God’s sovereignty?. Please support your answer with scripture.

We must be content to walk in the steps of Christ, even if the world mocks or hates us. “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18). To share His path is to share His cross, but also to share His glory (Romans 8:17). True discipleship is.

Context Matters. Reading the Bible out of context leads to misinterpretation, misapplication, and ultimately, deception. But reading in context brings clarity, deepens faith, and aligns us with God’s intended truth. We must ask the right questions: Who is speaking? Who is being.

False Teachers Ignore Context. Jesus warned: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15). False teachers rarely reject the Bible outright. Instead, they twist it, take verses out of context, and manipulate.
