Question: "What is Christianity and what do Christians believe?"
Answer: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says, Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
How do I know there really is a God? Posted by ekwade on Friday, June 09, 2006 (21:58:45) (150 reads)
Question: "How do I know there really is a God? Does God exist? Is there evidence for the existence of God?"
Answer: How do I know there really is a God? I find it interesting that so much attention is given to this debate. The latest surveys tell us that over 90% of people in the world today believe in the existence of God or some higher power. Yet, somehow the responsibility is placed on those who believe God does exist to somehow prove that He really does exist. To me, I think it should be the other way around.
Got Eternal Life? Posted by ekwade on Thursday, January 05, 2006 (22:04:11) (636 reads)

Is Jesus the only way to Heaven? Posted by ekwade on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 (08:20:57) (288 reads)
Question: "Is Jesus the only way to Heaven?"
Answer: "I'm basically a good person, so I'll go to heaven." "OK, so I do some bad things, but I do more good things, so I'll go to heaven." "God won't send me to hell just because I don't live by the Bible. Times have changed!" "Only really bad people like child molesters and murderers go to hell." Isn't it amazing how people try to justify their righteousness?
Can a Christian lose salvation? Posted by ekwade on Wednesday, October 17, 2007 (00:47:23) (152 reads)
Question: "Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation?"
Answer: Before this question is answered, the term 'Christian' must be defined. A 'Christian' is not a person who has said a prayer, or walked down an aisle, or been raised in a Christian family. While each of these things can be a part of the Christian experience, they are not what makes a Christian. A Christian is a person who has, by faith, received and fully trusted in Jesus Christ as the only Savior (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Remember the addage, "Better to remain silent and thought a fool... than to speak up and remove all doubt." Apparantly, this Australian Senator never heard this wise piece of advice.
Is Freemasonry compatible with Christianity? Posted by ekwade on Monday, March 12, 2007 (05:23:09) (231 reads)
Is Freemasonry compatible with Christianity?
Freemasonry - Some Background
Freemasonry is veiled in assorted levels of secrecy, legend, and misunderstanding. Throughout the decades, this "social" organization has been referred to as a Christian brotherhood. Others consider it a fraternity of the occult. Freemasonry is often the target of conspiracy theorists, who allege that Masons are responsible for orchestrating entire political, financial and cultural movements throughout the world. For purposes of this website, we will limit our discussion of history, lore and legend, and focus on the basic "doctrinal" positions of today's Freemasonry - although the "basics" can even be hidden or misunderstood in various parts of the Order.
Should Christians celebrate Christmas? Posted by ekwade on Monday, December 18, 2006 (15:27:14) (260 reads)
There is no Biblical warrant, precedent, nor precept for remembrance of the day of Christ's birth as a day of special religious celebration. This is not to say that we shouldn't remember Christ's birth and its significance, but for religious commemorations or celebrations, we must have Biblical command or precedent! The fact of the matter is this -- the early church did not celebrate Christ's birth, but such celebration only came into the church with the "Christianization" of pagan rites as Catholicism was made the state religion by Constantine in the fourth century A.D. Since the Word of God does not support the tradition of Christmas, a Christian's conscience ought not and must not be bound.
Does the Bible contain errors, contradictions, or discrepancies? Posted by ekwade on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 (10:26:01) (180 reads)
Question: "Does the Bible contain errors, contradictions, or discrepancies?"
Answer: We often get questions along the lines of “Explain how these verses do not contradict!†or “Look, here is an error in the Bible!†Admittedly, some of the things people bring up are difficult to answer. However, there are viable and intellectually plausible answers to every supposed Bible contradiction and error. There are books and websites available that list “all the errors in the Bible.†Most people simply get their ammunition from these places – they do not find these supposed errors on their own.
Should a Christian be a Republican or a Democrat? Posted by ekwade on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 (10:13:43) (170 reads)
Question: "Should a Christian be a Republican or a Democrat?"
Answer: To start out, let me say that we want your conscience to be your guide on this. What we will do in this article is tell you what the Bible says about political issues and allow you to make a decision from there. In all actuality, few political issues are truly spiritual issues. As an example, personally, I prefer lower taxes. The Bible does not endorse low taxes, all it says is that we are to pay our taxes honestly (Romans 13:6-7; Matthew 22:15-21). Taxes, and many other issues (social security, universal healthcare, education funding, prescription drugs, etc.) are not spiritual issues the Bible specifically addresses. As a result, Christians can in good conscience have disagreements on these issues.
What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin? Posted by ekwade on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 (09:54:23) (171 reads)
Question: "What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin?"
Answer: The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over†to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders†will not inherit the kingdom of God.
