The Just By Faith In Christ
|
| |
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17 KJV) In the real Gospel of Christ (not the clouded Gospel nor the false "gospel") the righteousness of God which is the righteousness of Christ is clearly revealed so that people may trust in Christ alone... more »

Keeping Justification Clear
|
| |
When Israel went into the Promised Land, but did not entirely stop the preexisting religious practices there, those became things that caused Israel to go astray. When Christ showed Scriptural justification by faith alone in Christ alone to enable the Protestant Reformation, the Reformers discarded much from the Catholic church... more »

What Faith In Christ Believes
|
| |
Christ gives the faith that causes people to trust in him alone for their salvation. Those who have faith in Christ have eternal life. This is what that faith in Christ believes: Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and one God with his Father, and Jesus came to earth as our Righteous Substitute and lived a perfect life for us,... more »

Even Now A Remnant
|
| |
Christ always reserves a remnant for himself, even in times when it is hard to find them, such as in the days of Elijah who seemed alone, yet Christ had then reserved seven thousand. In that situation, even one in about a thousand as it was then in Israel seemed amazing. Today, one in a thousand would be two million... more »

Why Denominations Abound
|
| |
Christ showed Luther that Scriptural justification for salvation is by faith alone that trusts Christ to impute his own righteousness to us so that he regards it as though it were ours.

*EVIL* a Theological Definition
|
| |
*EVIL* a Theological Definition. Any act or event that is contrary to the good and holy purposes of GOD. Theologians generally distinguish between *moral* and *natural* evil.

Not For Theologians Only
|
| |
The real Gospel is not for theologians only, so people should not have to wade thru wordy formal denominational confessions from the centuries just after the Reformation to find out what really causes justification (i.e., being declared righteous by God). But such is the state of things today that the thousands of denominations have... more »

Protestant Versus Catholic
|
| |
Christ showed justification by faith in the real Scriptural Gospel to enable the Protestant Reformation: faith alone in Christ alone to impute his righteousness to us so that he justifies us and gives us eternal life. This was the opposite of Catholic "justification" which claims to be by faith plus repentance,... more »

Subversive Bible Study?
|
| |
Dear Friends, As NYU Professor David Elcott puts it in a recent article published by Tikkun Magazine and titled "Subversive Bible Study:" "The Bible, along with the sacred texts of other religious communities, has proven to be troublesome. We have been convinced that the Bible is the answer, that it is the word of... more »

Where The Gospel Went
|
| |
Christ showed the real Scriptural Gospel so that people could have eternal life and to enable the Protestant Reformation: that salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone to be our imputed righteousness for salvation. The Reformers in the Protestant Reformation faithfully declared that message, but they... more »
