If you’re waiting for the Rapture, read this before it’s too late

If you’re a Christian looking forward to the Rapture (or the Snatching Away, as members of the body of Christ generally refer to it as), I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that, contrary to what many Christians believe, the Rapture is indeed a real event, and… Continue reading If you’re waiting for the Rapture, read this before it’s too late

Have we been grafted into Israel?

A common assertion by Christians who want us to believe that the body of Christ and the Israel of God are one and the same is that Gentile believers have been “grafted into Israel,” as well as that we are now “fellowcitizens of Israel,” based on Romans 11:1-25 and Ephesians 2:11-22. Now yes, Abraham is indeed said to be the “father” of those… Continue reading Have we been grafted into Israel?

List of differences between the two biblical churches and Gospels

This list is taken from my Things that differ article. For even more proofs that there are multiple Gospels taught in the Bible, please read that article in full. This page is simply here for quick reference to the list of differences from that article. All scriptural references are based on passages from the KJV. The Israel… Continue reading List of differences between the two biblical churches and Gospels

What is a believer?

Before beginning, I should clarify that I’m referring strictly to believers within the body of Christ who believe Paul’s Gospel in this article, and not to believers within the Israel of God who instead believe and obey the Gospel of the Kingdom. If you aren’t familiar with the difference, please read this article: Things that… Continue reading What is a believer?

Reading the KJV concordantly

Most English speaking members of the body of Christ who might fall under the label of “Concordant” tend to consider less literal translations of Scripture such as the KJV (the King James Version) to be extremely inaccurate, with some claiming that there are as many as 20,000 translation errors in this particular version (although I… Continue reading Reading the KJV concordantly

Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all

This often comes as a surprise when I bring it up to many members of the body of Christ, as well as to other Universalists, but no, Jesus did not preach the salvation of all humanity during His earthly ministry. That’s not to say He didn’t teach the salvation of all at a later time,… Continue reading Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all

Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?

[Please note that I put “free will” in quotation marks because it’s a nonsensical concept that can’t actually exist in reality. This article wasn’t written to prove that fact, though, nor was it written to prove that God is ultimately in control of all things, at least from an absolute perspective (including all sinful and/or… Continue reading Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?

Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place

I’ve only been a member of the ecclesia (or church) called the body of Christ for a little over 7 years as of the time I’m writing this article, but I’ve known, or at least have been acquainted with, various members of the ecclesia for decades now thanks to my time as a Christian Universalist… Continue reading Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place

What is a feigned believer?

[Please note that I’m linking to https://studybible.info for most of the scriptural references, because it’s the only website I know of that provides links to individual verses in the CLV (the Concordant Literal Version of the Bible), which is the Bible translation I’m discussing in this article, but it’s not always the most reliable website,… Continue reading What is a feigned believer?
