Is Annihilationism Biblical?

Is a belief in annihilation Biblical? Is it taught in the Bible?

What is Annihilationism?
Annihilationism is the belief that non-believers will simply be annihilated or be destroyed after death, rather than spending all of eternity in hell. It is believed that they will cease to exist after they’re judged and then annihilated, and even their memory will be gone, but is this biblical? Is it true as some believe that at Jesus’ appearance, the unsaved will vanish into nothingness? Is this in the B..

How Christians Can Witness To A Jehovah’s Witness That Comes To Their Door?

Is there a Bible verse or a set of Scriptures you can use when meeting a Jehovah’s Witness at your door?

Jehovah’s Witnesses
The cultic group called the Jehovah’s Witnesses is a group claiming upwards to 15 million worldwide with over half of that group being involved in evangelizing. Unfortunately, their own translation, The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, is full of doctrinal and translation errors and has been changed to fit their beliefs. For example, they don’t believe in an ..

The Problem with the Christian Explanation

Even if we accept a few minimal truths related to the alleged Resurrection of Jesus (i.e. the tomb was empty, the disciples believed they saw the risen Jesus, and the disciples were transformed following their alleged Resurrection observations), there are still a number of possible explanations for this set of facts. These explanations have been thoroughly examined by a number of Christian case makers over the years:

The disciples were mistaken about Jesus’ death
The disciples were lying about ..

Does The Bible Command A Rape Victim To Marry Their Rapist?

Does the Bible actually command a rape victim to marry their rapist? Is this what the Bible teaches?

The Commandments
God gave us the Ten Commandments, not to take away from the pleasures of life, but to give us the very best of life. It’s not so much, “Don’t do this and don’t do that” as it is, “Don’t do this and hurt yourself.” The Commandments are like guardrails; they show us where the danger is and keep us on a steady course forward. You can also see them like a speed limit sign. You obey ..

Who is the Messiah: A Bible Summary

It is no secret that many people today are Biblically illiterate. Therefore, it is no surprise that many of the terms that are commonly used in Biblical teaching are no longer used as they were originally intended. The word messiah is a perfect example. In today’s common language, the use of the term messiah has no reference to scripture, but instead, it can be defined in today’s Webster’s Dictionary as anyone who is a professed or accepted leader of some hope or cause (1). For this reason, a Bi..

When Your Purpose is Found in a Transcendent Creator

As an atheist, I was satisfied with the purpose I had created for my life. I found meaning in my work, my family, and my responsibilities as a father and husband. I also loved the idea that I was in charge of my purpose; that I was the one who got to decide what life was all about. It wasn’t until I became a Christian that I realized my ideas about purpose and meaning were far too small and limited. I now try to illustrate this truth for others with an important utensil from my wife’s kitchen. T..

Brewers Outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis Keeps Things in Perspective

There are times when we face trials and uncertainty in our day to day living. Kirk Nieuwenhuis, outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers, experienced the kind of highs and lows last season that tested his faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nieuwenhuis started the 2015 season on the New York Mets active roster. On May 19th he was ‘designated for assignment,’ meaning he was demoted to the minor league. On May 27th the Mets traded him to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and placed on the activ..

Did James Believe In Salvation Through Works?

Was James teaching about works contrary to the doctrine of being saved apart from works?

Salvation by Grace through Faith
The truth is most of the world’s religions require you to do things, in particular some amount of “good works” in order to be saved or be reincarnated as something higher and even to enter into paradise. It’s all about “do, do, do” but with Christianity, it’s “Done!” Just before Jesus died on the cross He said “It is finished’ (John 19:30), or as the Greek puts it, “Paid in ..
