THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY IN BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE The term “gay Christian” has become increasingly common in contemporary religious discourse, representing an attempt to reconcile same-sex attraction with Christian faith. But does the identification align with biblical teaching about identity, sexuality, and discipleship? For Christians who’re committed to Scripture’s authority, the question demands careful theological analysis…
In recent years, flat earth theories have gained surprising traction, with some proponents even claiming biblical support for their views. As Christians committed to the authority and proper interpretation of Scripture, we must ask: Does the Bible say the earth is flat? The answer is a clear no—but understanding why requires careful attention to how…
ANSWERING OBJECTIONS TO THE EPISTLE’S CANONICITY At just 25 verses, the epistle of Jude packs more controversy per word than perhaps any other New Testament book. Early church historian Eusebius labelled it among the “disputed books.” Some modern scholars question its authorship. Critics point to its quotations from non-biblical sources as problematic. So does the…
THE REFORMED VIEW VS OTHER INTERPRETATIONS ”Jesus answered, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.’”—John 3:5 Few verses in Scripture have sparked as much theological debate as John 3:5. What did Jesus mean when He told Nicodemus one must be…
Can someone be truly saved without making Jesus Christ their Lord? The question sits at the heart of one of evangelicalism’s most significant theological debates. How we answer depends on how we understand salvation, evangelism, and the very nature of the Christian life. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Get this wrong, and we either add…
Could the man who betrayed Jesus with a kiss have found forgiveness if he turned back to God? This haunting question strikes at the heart of one the most infamous acts of treachery recorded in Scripture. Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 disciples, sold his Master for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16) and identified…
The question cuts to the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Is belief in the Trinity—the doctrine that God exists as three persons in one essence—merely an optional theological opinion, or is it fundamental to the Christian faith itself? From a Reformed perspective, the answer is clear: you cannot reject the Trinity…
The disciple who once demanded to see Jesus’s wounds before believing may have travelled farther than any other apostle to spread the Gospel. According to ancient tradition, Thomas—forever known as “Doubting Thomas”—journeyed to India around AD 52, planted seven churches, and died a martyr’s death on the subcontinent. For millions of Saint Thomas Christians in…
When sceptics want to shake our confidence in Scripture, they often point to textual variants such as the Comma Johanneum. “If scholars can’t agree on whether this verse belongs in the Bible,” they ask, “how can you trust any of it?” It’s a fair question that deserves a thoughtful answer. But here’s what might surprise…
“This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.” (1 John 5:6-7) Some commentators suggest these are two of the most perplexing verses in Scripture. Yet within these…
