If Jesus Christ redeemed the world, why are preachers still preaching salvation? (Philippines)

Summary: Preaching that people should come to God through Jesus Christ is never wrong. But the fear that is part of the preaching is wrong. Now, salvation through the heavenly calling is only for the church. The earthly salvation for mankind will be established in Christ’s earthly kingdom. Acts 15:14, 16-17, “…God at the first … Continue reading “If Jesus Christ redeemed the world, why are preachers still preaching salvation? (Philippines)”

Tell me about Jesus's temptations in the wilderness. (Nigeria)

In the churches in my country, we are taught to pray that our enemies would die and pray that Satan would die, too. Is this scriptural? (Nigeria)

Jesus said, "I and my Father are one," John 10:30. Jesus also said in Mark 13:32, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Why did he say that? (Ghana)

When Jesus stated that “I and my Father are one”, he was not implying, as some believe, that Jesus and the Father are one and the same. He could not have meant that, because he also have stated: “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that … Continue reading “Jesus said, "I and my Father are one," John 10:30.

If hell is just the grave, why did Jesus say: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth…" Matthew 13:42? (Nigeria)

The context of this scripture is Jesus’s explanation of the wheat and tares parable. He identifies the wheat as “children of the kingdom,” the tares (which look like wheat) as “children of the wicked one,” and the field as “the world.” The reason for the destruction is in verse 41, “The Son of Man will … Continue reading “If hell is just the grave, why did Jesus say: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth…" Matthew 13:42?
