With all the respect I have, this is a good walk through some scriptures that give us a glimpse of God’s nature and Sovereignty, but it doesn’t really answer the question. Why would God create those who […]

“Bradley” wrote (April 6th, 2004): So how do we explain all the inconsistencies and errors found throughout the scriptures? (I’m sure Mark will provide a nice list of some of them:) “Mark and Bev Tindall” responded: . Too many to post in one sitting.

Essential Beliefs

“Deacon” wrote: ‘As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive’ ? This one is easy, if you allow that sin entered and from Adam sin passed to us all. So we are dead in our sins, but God offers a gift of grace and life in the Spirit that we […]
