Dying without believing in Jesus is not the greatest sin - though it is a sin. This is because unbelief can be forgiven, as is evidenced by the fact that many people become Christians later in life after rejecting Jesus for many years. But I want to be clear. I'm not...
Jesus commanded many things. Some of the commands were not intended for us to follow but dealt with things like telling John the Baptist to baptize Him (Matt. 3:15), rebuking the devil (Matt. 4:10), commanding people to follow Him (Matt. 4:19; 9:9), telling the...
The Law of Christ is found in Scripture. In Galatians 6:2, it says, "Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the Law of Christ." But, the Bible does not tell us exactly what the Law of Christ is. Nevertheless, there are two possible answers. The first is that...
Why was Jesus led into the desert where the devil would tempt him? And, surprisingly, we find that it was the Holy Spirit who lead Jesus there. So, if Jesus was sinless and was always pleasing to the Father (John 8:29), then why be led into the wilderness to be...
Something need not be stated over and over again in Scripture to be true. God does not have to repeat Himself. If the Bible reveals something even once, that thing must be believed and trusted. This truth applies to the issue of the deity of Christ just as much as it...

No, Jesus' position at the right hand of the Father does not make Jesus a lower sort of being than God the Father nor does it contradict Jesus' deity. There are various forms of this argument, but none of them actually establish anything that proves Jesus not to be...
The Bible clearly identifies Jesus as God and specifically as YHWH, the one true God of the Old Testament. Jesus affirmed His own deity and so did the New Testament writers[fn]For example, see our articles on the deity of Christ in the writings of Paul, John, Mark,...
Yes, Jesus is going to be a man forever. Nothing in Scripture states that he will stop being a man. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians think that Jesus stopped being a man when he ascended into heaven and is a kind of spirit. That is not the correct teaching. Let me...
Jesus points to a specific set of miraculous works He has done as evidence that He is the promised Messiah. Most of these come directly from a passage in Isaiah, but Jesus' adds "raise the dead" to the list, which has confused some. A closer look at Isaiah and later...
