  • 14 - Caindo em desgraça em Gálatas 5:4
    O que significa cair da graça, especialmente como essa frase é usada em Gálatas 5: 4? A interpretação desse versículo tem implicações importantes para o cristão.

  • 15 - Interpretando hebreus: começando com os leitores
    Muitos acham que Hebreus é um livro difícil de interpretar. Talvez a maior dificuldade seja interpretar as cinco passagens de advertência (2:1-4;3:7-4:13; 6:1-8;10:26-39;12:25-29). Muitos comentários tratam isso como advertências aos incrédulos entre os leitores. Este vê o público-alvo das advertências como aqueles que professam, mas não possuem, a fé.

  • 18 - Você deveria cortar sua mão?
    Marcos 9: 43-50 é uma das passagens mais difíceis do Novo Testamento. Superficialmente, parece que Jesus está ensinando que um crente deve cortar sua mão / pé / olho a fim de não pecar. Para alguns, parece sugerir que um crente que peca pode perder sua salvação e acabar no inferno. Mas para aqueles que crêem na salvação pela graça, essa interpretação não funciona. Então, o que Jesus está dizendo?

  • 34 - Hebrews on Fire
    What then do the three references to fire in the warning judgments (6:8; 10:27; 12:31) mean to believers?

  • 36 - Should Romans 6:23 Be Used in Evangelism?
    This well-known verse is often used when presenting the gospel to show that unsaved sinners will pay for their sin with eternal separation from God (death), and that they can escape that fate through the gift of eternal life that Jesus Christ provides. Is that how this verse should be interpreted and applied?

  • 37 - Interpreting 1 John
    Interpreting 1 John is troublesome to some because of statements that appear to be tests or conditions. The prevailing view among commentators is that the purpose of these tests is to determine if someone is saved eternally or not.

  • 39 - How Do We Explain Hebrews 6:4-8
    This passage is often used to argue against the doctrine of eternal security.

  • 45 - Can the Willful Sin of Hebrews 10:26 be forgiven?
    Some argue from this that willful or continual sin cannot be forgiven and salvation can be lost, or that those in view of judgment were never really saved to begin with.

  • 47 - Demon Faith and the Misuse of James 2:19
    Some Christians use this verse to argue that the faith that saves must be proved by works or it is not genuine.

  • 51 - Fruits and False Prophets - Matthew 7:15-20     Podcast
    According to a common interpretation, bad behavior proves a person is not saved; good behavior proves a person is saved. Is that what this passage teaches?

  • 52 - Lordship and False Followers - Matthew 7:21-23
    Does this passage teach, as some claim, that a person must be totally surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in order to be saved?

  • 53 - Doubtful Self-examination in 2 Corinthians 13:5
    It is not uncommon to see this verse used to encourage professing Christians to examine themselves to see if they are genuinely saved.

  • 54 - The Fate of Fruitless Followers in John 15:6
    What do the branches represent in John 15:6 and what is their fate?

  • 57 - Good Ground for Discipleship - Luke 8:4-13
    The parable of the soils is found in all three Synoptic Gospels (Matt. 13:18-23; Mark 4:2-20; Luke 8:4-15). Our focus will be on Luke's account. In Luke especially, Jesus used this parable to explain the purpose of all parables and to illustrate how people respond to God's truth.

  • 59 - Real Christians Don't Sin? - 1 John 3:6
    If John establishes the fact that Christians sin in chapter 1, how can he say later that Christians do not sin? An incorrect interpretation of these verses has caused many Christians to doubt their salvation.

  • 60 - Can a Christian Be of the Devil? - 1 John 3:8
    Is there any way a Christian can be 'of the devil,' or could that only refer to unsaved people?

  • 61 - The Salvation of Those Who Endure to the End in Matthew 24:13
    This passage (See also Matt. 10:22; Mark 13:13; cf. Luke 21:19) is often used to argue that only those who continue in faith and good works to the end of their lives will receive salvation or prove they were saved.

  • 62 - You are Saved
    Some use this passage to say that believers can lose their salvation. Others say that it shows that some who are considered believers prove to be false believers because they did not stick with the gospel. Neither of these views satisfies the details of the passage in its context.

  • 65 - Revelation 3:20 and Asking Jesus into Your Heart
    When we look at the practical, theological, and biblical objections to this phrase, we may decide to use different language.

  • 69 - The Fate of Believers Seduced by False Teachers in 2 Peter 2:20-22
    If we read 2 Peter chapter 2, it is clear that the false prophets and teachers in view are doomed to eternal condemnation. But what about those deceived by them?

  • 70 - Was Simon the Sorcerer Saved? Acts 8:17-24
    Can an individual recently saved from an occultic background commit a serious sin? Or would that horrendous blunder prove he was never really saved?

  • 78 - Making Your Call and Election Sure - 2 Peter 1:10-11
    Does this passage exhort professing believers to prove that they are true believers, or does it exhort true believers to demonstrate the faith they have? At stake in the first instance is eternal salvation; at stake in the second are eternal rewards. Careful observations answer this question.

  • 80 - What Is the Meaning of \Confess\" in Romans 10:9-10?"
    In chapters 3 and 4 of Romans, The apostle Paul established beyond dispute that one is eternally justified before God only on the basis of faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Why, then, does he say in chapter 10 that one must \confess the Lord Jesus\" for salvation?"

  • 81 - Jesus Does Not Trust Some Believers - John 2:23-25
    Most Bible commentators interpret this passage to say that these people at the Passover did not really believe in Jesus for salvation, therefore Jesus did not commit Himself to them because He knew the unbelieving condition of their hearts. Their faith was defective or insufficient for salvation because it was based only on the signs that Jesus performed and/or they believed only in His name, not His person.

  • 86 - Who Could Be Cut Off from Christ in Romans 11:22?
    This passage, especially verse 22, raises the questions, who is the apostle Paul addressing?, what does it mean to be \cut off\"?

  • 88 - Misunderstandings about Acts 16:31     Podcast
    About 2000 years ago, the apostle Paul (with his co-laborer Silas) answered a frightened prison guard's question, \Sirs

  • 94 - Matthew 5:48 - Is It Possible to Be as Perfect as God?
    Many assume that \perfect\" (teleios) refers to total sinlessness

  • 96 - Understanding the Vice Lists in 1 Cor. 6:9-11, Gal. 5:19-21, and Eph. 5:3-5
    These three passages are similar in that they list sins and the consequence of those who commit them. The passages often confuse people. What kind of people do they describe, believers or unbelievers? What is the point of listing these sins for the original readers and for us today?

  • 97 - Who Are the Overcomers in Revelation 2-3?
    In the seven letters to the churches of Revelation chapters 2-3, the overcomers can be seen as either 1) all believers who are promised entrance into the kingdom, or 2) individual believers who overcome trials and are promised rewards in the kingdom and in eternity. The churches and their problems are obviously familiar and thus contemporary with the apostle John, the author, but the exhortations are relevant for all times.
