    What is sin according to the Bible?

    We understand we can never “cure” our sin on our own, so we seek out Christ, the one and only answer to our broken nature. He is ready and waiting to repair our damaged relationship and lead us back to Him. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10).

    What is sin according to the Bible?

    If this is our nature, what hope do we have? The good news is that God loves us, despite our sinful nature and our choices to sin. And He had a plan in place—even before humans chose to sin—to save us from sin’s power and consequences. He loves us so much that Jesus came to this world and...

    What is sin according to the Bible?

    The Bible teaches that human nature is basically corrupt. Are people as bad as the Bible claims? What about the good people and the good things they do? How can anyone deny this? There’s no question that human beings are very capable of good deeds, kindness, extreme selflessness, and...

    The Giants/Nephilim in the Bible.

    One day we will hear our last sermon! When the flood came and the door of the ark closed, it did not matter how near or how far a person happened to be at that moment. Those who were one foot out-side that door were just as lost as those who were miles away. After 120 years of pleading, the...

    The Giants/Nephilim in the Bible.

    Never thought about this before: I have always thought that Noah was safe inside the Ark because he built it according to God's specifications. I thought that perhaps it was the strength of the gopher wood and the soundness of the architecture that ensured that the waters of the flood would not...

    The Giants/Nephilim in the Bible.

    Biblically the flood that destroyed all human beings (including the giants/nephilim) except Noah and his family happened because of sin. Not because fallen angles had sired hybrid children with human beings (that's impossible), "The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become...

    The Giants/Nephilim in the Bible.

    I have. God has always preserved His Word in all its tumultuous history. There were always a minority of faithful believers who had either partial or full transcripts of the Bible and preserved it. This in itself is a miracle that testifies to its trustworthiness! So we are going to have to...

    In these end times, the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in opening our eyes to the spiritual truths that the natural eye cannot see.

    The Giants/Nephilim in the Bible.

    You think too highly of the Catholic church. They distorted God's Word but thanks to God through the Holy Spirit we still have His true Word to be able to discern between truth and lies. That's how we know what day the true Sabbath is and what isn't. Satan through the Catholic Church has tried...
