Mormons have to only buy under garments their religion sells to them. Recently there were long lines for a new option. The internet made fun of this.  Q: Why are these people crapping on the Mormons? I'm a Catholic. Catholics don't stick together. When a tragedy happens in the Mormon community they stick together, they help one another, they support each other.  A lot of Mormons live in my community and they are the nicest and most inviting people I've ever met.  The people who go on missions try and Improve the areas they go to. Here in Vegas, if you need help moving, call the Mormons. They show up with a truck and 5 young people ready to help. A: Their undergarments are absurd. It was just a way for their religions founder to make money off the followers.  Works-based lives and religion isnt what God accepts. Many sticking together who hold a false view means nothing. Evil people even wont give their kids a snake if they ask for a fish. People can cling to false re...

The Brain, consciousness, Soul FAQ (plus Earth age info).  Q: How does the brain and soul work? It seems both are needed. At death, wutg the Spirit (headed to and in Heaven) how can we think feel and act, without the brain? A: The brain and soul are distinct but closely connected. The brain is the physical organ God designed to control our bodies and process information, but the soul (and spirit) is the immaterial part of us—our mind, will, emotions, and spiritual life. The Bible teaches that humans are made of both material (body/brain) and immaterial (soul/spirit) components (Genesis 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:23). While the brain enables us to think, feel, and act, it is not the source of our consciousness or identity. Our soul is what truly makes us human and is the part that lives on after death (Ecclesiastes 12:7). For a deeper look, see: • The Essential Nature of Man • What Makes Us Human—and Why It Is Not the Brain When a believer dies, the soul leaves the body and goes immedi...

Q: When discussing or looking at diff galaxies. How do we Christians biblically realistically look at the light coming from distant galaxies, and explain or discuss it, in truth.  A: The claim that light from distant galaxies proves the universe as millions or billions of years old is based on secular assumptions, not biblical truth.  The Bible clearly teaches that God created the universe about 6,000 years ago (Genesis 1) [1]. The “distant starlight problem” is only a problem if we assume naturalistic processes have always operated the same way and that God could not act supernaturally. God created the stars on Day 4 of Creation Week, and He made them to be seen for signs and seasons (Genesis 1:14–19). God is all-powerful and not limited by the natural laws He created. Several creationist models explain how we can see distant starlight in a young universe, such as God bringing the light to earth instantly, time dilation, or other mechanisms. The key is to trust God’s Word as ...

Tower of Babel, the Heavens, Space & Universe Q: Why do we see [for lack of a better word] a "piddly building" tower of Babel as a "to heaven" or towering to Heaven, in Genesis 9-11, a forbidden plot by man (to reach God, who is in Heaven(?), or whatever its purpose was...(?), when compared to man today going to Mars, the Moon in the outer heavens...? Knowing the universe is huge and man couldn't ever reach God's Heaven? A: The Tower of Babel was not about physically reaching God’s dwelling place in heaven, but about human pride and rebellion against God’s command. After the Flood, God told people to fill the earth (Genesis 9:1), but at Babel, they chose to stay together and “make a name for ourselves” (Genesis 11:4). The phrase “a tower whose top is in the heavens” simply means a very tall structure (it symbolized human ambition), not a literal attempt to reach God’s throne/ ascend to God's dwelling place. The real issue was defiance—mankind’s desir...

World Religions and Jesus  Did you know... All other religions do note Jesus. They actually altered their religion, adding a "false" Jesus to it. Why? So the people dont leave their religion of lies and go to Jesus [truth], the real Jesus. Satan works hard to blind and decieve people, even people "close to us" whom we love, such as a parent, sibling or friend.   This video  shows how all religions modified, mentioned or merged Jesus into their beliefs. Jesus... from Israel. Btw,  Jesus never left Israel to go to any other nation (such as the ones where all the false religions in the world came from). He was only in Israel, and Holy Scripture shows this clearly. Thus the Jesus they teach about is false, since what they say about him doesn't align with what Holy Scripture says.  They had a evil reason for including Jesus in their religions, it wasnt to tell the truth, but to keep people trapped in false religion. If they lost their followers, they l...

Are Charismatics saved?  A: Outside of Oneness Penticostal and Apostolics? Well, this is what I will say... Those "Churches" are false churches that prey on gullible and naive people. The people who end up in one of those places are either unsaved false converts who love attention and ear tickling, or are new or weak believers [or kids of either] who were decieved by subtle and slick lies that group teaches.  I wouldn't use the words "churches" or "denominations" with those false religions. But might use place or group or sect or cult when talking about them.  For any true Christians ensnared by those places, they live in fear due to false teachings of salvation. Christians cant lose their Salvation, they dont have a special mystical "feeling" based event for the Holy Spirit either. Those are lies. Those like cause it's members to "fear" and most will lament a special thing snd gift hasn't been given to them... and thats cu...

BELIEVING YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION IMPLIES:  ●IT WAS NEVER A GIFT. ●YOU CAN DO ENOUGH WORKS TO MAINTAIN IT. Additional Implications: 1. Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t sufficient. → If salvation can be lost, it suggests Jesus’ death didn’t fully pay for all sin. 2. Grace has limits. → It implies that God’s grace can be undone by human failure, rather than being unconditional. 3. You play a role in keeping yourself saved. → That salvation depends partly on your effort rather than completely on God’s finished work. 4. God’s promises are uncertain. → It suggests He could go back on His word to save and keep believers. 5. Eternal life isn’t actually eternal. → If it can end, then “eternal life” isn’t truly eternal. 6. God’s power to preserve believers isn’t enough. → It implies human weakness can overpower divine strength. 7. Salvation depends on continued performance. → Instead of resting in faith, a person must continually earn or prove worthiness. 8. Assurance of salvation is impossibl...

Hell seems unfair?  Q: If people do more evil than others, isnt it better a judge has leniency and not equal same judgment? Why do all go to Hell.  A: Hell is fair. And just justice served. God being the just judge who will render verdicts perfectly, has determined eternal Hell is where sinners go after death, but there's levels of punishment there. Regardless, dont focus on Hell as to expect it, turn to get right with God through Jesus so you dint have to go there. Yes all are born with the sin nature and thus are Hellbound, but not all go to Hell. Those who have Jesus as Savior, go to Heaven.  John 3:16-21  16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, *but whoever does not believe stands condemned already* because t...

Can a Psycopath recieve Salvation? Q: From a biblical Christian perspective, if a diagnosed psycopath like David Wood was converted by God, [now knows hes not the best highest in the world, but sees hes the lowest, and that something was wrong with him (by his testimony)], but he said he still " doesnt feel bad" for doing wrong things , [he recognizes it as wrong but has no feelings towards it....], how can he have "a contrite humble repentant heart" which Scripture seems to show of a person that takes place upon them coming to salvation (obeying the Gospel)? Based on that how can he genuinely be saved then? A: That’s a deep and very perceptive question — and it goes right to the heart of how Christianity understands repentance, regeneration, faith, and emotion.  Psychopathy can affect emotional regulation and empathetic responses.  A "broken and contrite heart" refers to a deep acknowledgment of one's sinfulness and a longing for God’s forgiveness. T...

Doctrine of Justification *This means what God, thru the Bible teaches us on justification. It is part of the Doctrine of Salvation. Which explains the sequence of events in the salvation process. It includes: ●Gospel Proclamation ●Regeneration ●Conversion ●Union with Christ ● Justification ●Adoption ●Sanctification ●Perseverance ●Glorification On Justification: "That instantaneous act of God whereby, as a gift of His grace, He imputes to a believing sinner the full and perfect righteousness of Christ through faith alone and legally declares him perfectly righteous in His sight, forgiving the sinner of all unrighteousness and thus delivering him from all condemnation." Justification is the transition from condemnation to righteousness.  Penal Substitutionary Atonement, is about Christ bearing the penalty of our sins. Double Imputation, explains that believers' sins are imputed to Christ, and Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers. An important part of what G...

Were Muslims decieved to think Catholicism is Christianity?  Early on muslims encountered a false form of Christianity. They had no knowledge of the Gospel cuz they lacked the recognition of who/what true Christianity was/are/is.  • True Christianity: True Christianity is centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ—faith in Him for salvation, grounded in Scripture. Any deviation from that gospel (including doctrinal errors or additions), that doesnt hold to the core Essential truths of Christianity [revealed by God in Scripture], is a corrupt false Christianity. • Islam’s Encounter: Historically, early Muslims in the 7th century encountered "Christianity" largely in the form of Eastern Orthodoxy and some local variations of Western ones (like what later became Catholicism). Islam’s view of Christians is that they are “People of the Book” (Ahl al-Kitāb), but since they didn't encounter true Christianity, they had no idea what the truth was. • Catholicism mislead: Because Cathol...

History of RCC ECC & Orthodox Religions True Christianity: The faith as taught by Jesus and the apostles (1st century AD), based solely on Scripture. Continued thru 300-400s, then was restored by the Reformation.  Catholicism:  Around 5th century AD (c. 476 AD –500 AD), after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Catholicism was created. The Church in Rome had consolidated authority under the Pope at that time. Over time, heresies & false doctrines were added: like papal supremacy, indulgences, purgatory, veneration of saints, Marian doctrines etc.  By doing this they rejected Biblical truth, what God said the Gospel is, and perverted who God and Jesus are...thus they went into apostasy (& likewise idolatry [meaning created a false god]).  Looking a bit closer: Biblical Christianity: 1st century, directly following Jesus and the apostles. Roman Catholic institutional development: Around 5th century AD (~476–500), the Church in Rome consolidated power, add...
