Straight Talk About Theological Confusion And The Bible

Do You Know What You Believe,
And Why You Believe It?

A lot of people who claim to be Christians don’t.

A couple of Saturdays ago I met a homeless man named Todd, and his pit bull dog named Sleepy. I offered Todd some food, and he initially turned me down. I had pulled into the Family Center, so I said “that’s fine”, rolled up my window and started backing my van out. Todd waved me down, and I rolled down my window. He asked, “What kind of food?”. So I began to tell him what I had in the bags I was distributing. He came up to the car and said, “Okay then”, and I gave him a bag. I then asked:

“Can I pray for you?”

Normally the homeless want me to pray for them. He said, “No, I’d rather you not”. No explanation, and I didn’t require one. But I told him, “As I drive away I will be praying for you, because God loves you”. So I moved on.

Monday I pulled up to a homeless encampment and Todd actually walked up to my van with Sleepy. I asked, “Would you like some food?” Todd said that was fine, so I gave him a bag. He also told me “The last bag you gave me had tampons in it. I didn’t need them”. I told him I accidentally gave him a bag that should have been given to women, and he was all right with that. I asked again, … Continue reading →

Straight Talk About Heaven

Posted on October 27, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

Revelation 21:1-7 KJV And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Heaven And Earth Will One Day Be Changed

This is a very familiar text because you’ve heard it at funerals of loved ones. You’ve heard statements (and probably from me) like:

“Our Beloved is with the Lord – and he or she is not suffering anymore.”
“Our Loved One is in a glorified body now, freed from sin.”

I do believe it’s true that the one who loves Jesus and leaves this life is now without suffering. But here’s a word in our Revelation text that we often overlook when reading about heaven:… Continue reading →

Six False Gospel We Must Avoid

Posted on October 13, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

The True Gospel calls us out of ourselves. The Gospel says that God created everything, even us. God put man in a perfect environment, and gave him a job to do, and a thing NOT to do. Man ignored the command of God. He ate what God said not to eat, and because he failed sin entered the world, and death came with sin. Everyone born from that man through ordinary generation inherited this sin nature, the desire to walk apart from God. The world is in the mess it is in because of that sin nature, and we ALL stand guilty before God, Who is holy, righteous, loving and good. God in His mercy and goodness sought Man in the Garden when he sinned, and seeks man today. God called out to Adam, “Where are you?” He calls out to us today through His Son Jesus Christ. God became perfect Man in Jesus. Jesus was not born of ordinary generation, He was virgin born. He was born without a sin nature. As Pastor Voddie Baucham said, “If Jesus was born of ordinary generation, He was born in sin. But because He’s not born of ordinary generation, He’s clean of sin, His record is clean, and He keeps His record clean”. Jesus obeyed the Law of God on our behalf. And Jesus went to the Cross to pay for our sins, “the Just for the unjust”(1 Peter 3:18). When we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, when we hear His call and follow Him, we are adopted into the family of God (Ephesians 1:5; Romans 8:15) and are indwelt by God’s Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16; Romans 8:9). Because of Jesus, Continue reading →

Acting Like Saints

Posted on October 13, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

Paul has just finished chastising the Corinthian believers for horrendous sexual sin in the Church, sin that even the unbelievers of that day would not commit – that a young man was sleeping with his stepmother. Paul told that Church to judge that young man and to have no fellowship with him until he repented.

Now Paul addresses another spectacle causing the world to mock Christ and His Church. The believers are suing one another in civilian courts. Not over big matters – over every trivial thing they disagree about. Paul is not pleased, and neither is God. Continue reading →
