[Please note that I put “free will” in quotation marks because it’s a nonsensical concept that can’t actually exist in reality. This article wasn’t written to prove that fact, though, nor was it written to prove that God is ultimately in control of all things, at least from an absolute perspective (including all sinful and/or… Continue reading Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?

Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place
I’ve only been a member of the church called the body of Christ for a little over 7 years now, but I’ve known, or at least have been acquainted with, various members of the body of Christ for decades now thanks to my time as a traditional Christian Universalist prior to getting saved, and I’ve… Continue reading Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place
Did God create the universe out of nothing?
Most Christians believe the Bible teaches that God created the universe out of nothing. Aside from the fact that it’s entirely impossible to create anything out of nothing, this idea (which is a concept that is generally referred to as “creatio ex nihilo”) isn’t actually taught anywhere in Scripture anyway, so simply put, no, He… Continue reading Did God create the universe out of nothing?
What is a feigned believer?
As you may know, not every member of the true body of Christ uses the King James Version of the Bible. In fact, the truth is that the majority of English-speaking members of the true body of Christ tend to prefer using a more literal version, known as the CLV (the Concordant Literal Version), and… Continue reading What is a feigned believer?
Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
The reason I’m not Roman Catholic is really quite simple (although if you want the proof of my reason, it will require some homework on your part): There’s just no way to reconcile Roman Catholic doctrine with Scripture. (The same goes for Eastern Orthodox doctrine, but I’m just going to refer to Roman Catholicism throughout… Continue reading Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
Why I have reassurance that we believe the truth
As I assume happens to every believer at one time or another, I sometimes have occasions where I’ll begin to question whether what those of us in the true body of Christ believe is correct, or whether we might just be fooling ourselves into believing lies. Well, when this happens these days, I simply have… Continue reading Why I have reassurance that we believe the truth
The necessity of two Gospels
While it goes without saying that there are at least two Gospels in Scripture (and please read this article if you aren’t aware of this fact already), some people might ask why there are two Gospels in the first place, and why Jesus didn’t preach the same Gospel during His earthly ministry that Paul later preached to the nations. Well, the… Continue reading The necessity of two Gospels
Will anyone escape death?
There’s a strange doctrine being taught by certain members of the body of Christ recently which suggests that the Rapture is not something we should actually consider to be our blessed hope, but rather that everyone in the body of Christ will instead definitely die, and I wanted to write a few thoughts about it. While this teaching… Continue reading Will anyone escape death?
“The last trump” will indeed be the last trump
Most members of the body of Christ believe the Rapture will take place prior to the Tribulation, but this brings up the question of how “the last trump” of 1 Corinthians 15:52 can be sounded prior to our being quickened (meaning made immortal), and caught up in the air to meet the Lord before the Tribulation begins when Revelation talks about 7 trumpets… Continue reading “The last trump” will indeed be the last trump
The simplest answer to the question of whether a believer can lose their salvation
The question is often asked: Can a believer lose their salvation? Now, obviously I’m not referring to general salvation here, meaning the salvation that everyone is guaranteed to eventually experience thanks to Christ’s death for our sins, burial, and resurrection on the third day (the salvation that involves the eventual quickening — meaning immortality —… Continue reading The simplest answer to the question of whether a believer can lose their salvation
