[Before getting into the details of this post, while I’m not a Christian, I should point out that I am a Bible-believing member of the body of Christ, and that, no, they’re not the same thing; we might have been called Christians in the first century, but we stopped using that label a long time… Continue reading Why I am not a Christian

Life and death on the New Earth
The vast majority of Christians (at least those who believe in a literal New Heaven and New Earth), and even many members of the body of Christ, have made an assumption that there won’t be any death on the New Earth. I can’t agree with this assumption, however, because we’re told in Isaiah 65:17-25 that… Continue reading Life and death on the New Earth
Why Christ died, and why He had to die
As everybody should know by now, the Good News is that “Christ died for our sins” (and, of course, He was buried and rose again the third day as well), giving himself a ransom for all, as Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:3-6, and when a ransom is fully paid, all those who are held… Continue reading Why Christ died, and why He had to die
Why do we sin and die?
Most Christians are under the impression that we die because we sin, and that our sin is entirely our fault, and many of them also somehow apply the guilt of Adam’s sin to us at the exact same time. Well, the apostle Paul actually blamed our death on that very man — Adam — rather… Continue reading Why do we sin and die?
Justice for evil
Christian: If Universalism is true, there is no justice for evil. I do not want that. Believer: Hypothetically speaking, if only one person got saved in the end, but he was a very evil man prior to believing the Gospel, would there be justice for evil? Christian: Yes, because his evil was dealt with by… Continue reading Justice for evil
Salvation through mutilation
How is it that one is saved from “hell”? Well, it looks like Jesus told us exactly how, and all you need are some surgical instruments: Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed,… Continue reading Salvation through mutilation
Why did the devil create the Christian religion?
The Christian religion was created to drive people away from God and the truth. The devil uses it to trick people into not understanding that Christ actually died and that He was buried, as Paul’s Gospel states He did and was, as well to fool people into believing they have to choose to do something in… Continue reading Why did the devil create the Christian religion?
What is the one requirement for being shown mercy?
“For God locks up all in unbelief, so that He can show mercy to all.” – Romans 11:32 Paul tells us that God locks all of us up in unbelief, meaning we fail to believe the Gospel because God made sure we would all start out as unbelievers. But why did He do this? Simply… Continue reading What is the one requirement for being shown mercy?
“Ye shall not surely die” — do you believe the lie?
The Toronto street preachers I’ve written about somewhat frequently in recent times have given me a number of excellent examples of how so many Christians completely misunderstand what Scripture says about so many topics, and death is yet another topic that most of them miss the mark on. If you listen to a “gospel” sermon… Continue reading “Ye shall not surely die” — do you believe the lie?
Who ends up in the lake of fire?
In my last post I hinted at the idea that the lake of fire will be relatively empty. This, of course, goes against the traditional ideas that most Christians believe, but then, so does nearly everything I write on this website, so that’s nothing new. So who actually does end up in the lake of… Continue reading Who ends up in the lake of fire?
