Who is the God of the Bible?

postauthoriconWritten by Aleksandar Katanovic | Print | E-mail

God is Love

lovehnd
Why are we Christians? We are Christians because of Christ. We have recognized in His human nature the perfect embodiment of God, which was expressed through His actions, reported by His closest friends while He was among us. In the maturity of His character there was manifested the dignity of human personhood, which has the potentiality in each of us. His character, expressed in His actions, also reveals who He is as a God. The highest revelation of God through the history of the communication between Him and us, was when He revealed Himself in the human flesh. It is the culmination of God's revelation, where He tries to tell us one important thing, namely about His exceeding love for the dignity of our human nature, created in His image.

The trustworthiness of the testimony of Christ's resurrection

Why does God send some people to hell?

hellThis article is in two parts. The first one, Biblical reasons for the doctrine of hell as eternal torment, will examine all relevant biblical texts about hell and show that the Bible teaches that lost sinners, who died in their unrepentant sins, will be punished with everlasting torment. The second part, Apologetic defense of the doctrine of hell as eternal torment, is more philosophical in approach and endeavors to explain how eternal torment of lost souls is metaphysically possible in the universe of a benevolent God. (Christian apologetics deals with scientific and philosophical arguments for Christian beliefs).

Faith and Works

Are we saved by faith alone?

"For by grace are ye saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God
-- not by works, lest any man should boast."
(Ephesians 2:8, 9)

2faithsWhen the Bible says that we are not saved by works (Eph. 2:8-9), how shall we understand it? Does it follow that we can both continue in sin and be saved? Of course not, otherwise it would contradict with Paul's clear warnings, just to mention two passages.

The End of Charismatic Gifts

Cessationism versus Continuationism regarding the charismatic gifts

doveIn this article, we will examine the validity of the charismatic belief, whether the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit are still present in the Church of Christ. The charismatic belief affirms that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still present, and have never ceased to be in operation from the birth of the Church on the day of the Pentecost, cf. Acts 2, till now. The gifts will continue to exist until Christ's return. The charismatic belief is referred as the continuationist view, or Continuationism. The opposite view is known as the cessationist view, or Cessationism. We will show that Continuationism is wrong by examining the important arguments that are present in the issue.
