What About The Antichrist?
Where would you go to find the information about the antichrist? Let us begin from the position of the Christ. The Christ means the anointed One that would come to earth and die for our sins in order to save us. If His coming was prophesied as well as His work, then it would be…

How do we teach people the truth about the antichrist?
There are people who have sincere hearts and can be reached by the truth (Luke 8:15). A major problem we are faced with today is a lack of Bible knowledge among those of the religious world. I saw a sign recently on one of the denominational groups signboard out front. It said something about where…

How can we help those who believe in the rapture/end times doctrine?
We should begin by trying to get them to see that the Bible is from God but also that it can be understood. Stress the fact that God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33). When you discuss the “end times” there is much division as to what certain things mean. When people…

The heart of trying to reach the religious world finds a high wall created by those who knowingly teach error. They pour over books like Romans or parts of Ephesians to establish that first into the concept of “works”. In order to teach that man is saved without doing anything, they must change in some…

Obtaining Grace
All men will not be saved (Matt. 7:13,14). Those who will be saved are those who have obtained the grace of God. Such language should not convey the idea that man can be saved by his own merit or goodness. Jesus taught that those who are poor in spirit will have the kingdom of God…

Are people who believe in “Faith Only” and “Grace Only” sincere?
No one knows the hearts of all men. My experience has been that most of the ones whom I have been able to study with are sincere. If you ask me “Do they study their Bibles?” Once more I find that those whom we are able to study with do indeed, study their Bibles. The…

Grace, Not A System Of Works
The above words represent a steady effort upon the part of the religious world to deny responsibility on the part of man. The passage in Romans 6:23 is often cited to put forth the idea that the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord. Use of the word “gift” implies to…
