istoria bisericii

  • Chemarea celor aleși

    Just like Apostle Paul predicted, savage wolves arose from among Christianity's own, distorted biblical truths and fooled a majority of the believers. And the mass deception lasted through many centuries, through the 1260 year Anti-Christ reign of the Papacy, continued in many forms even among the Protestant Reformation churches and is still widely prevalent today.  That's why all mainstream denominations today have a variety of doctrines that go against the foundational beliefs of original Christianity. So what is a true biblical believer to do in these times?

  • Crezul bisericesc - Istoria

    What did the Early Church believe about the Kingdom? What happened in later centuries? What does the Encyclopedia Britannica record in terms of the kingdom beliefs of the church throughout the two-thousand year history since Jesus Christ? What do present-day Christians believe about the Kingdom? What are the differences between the Modernists, Fundamentalists and Spiritualists? Do any of them hold upto the Scriptural truths?

  • De ce e asta important?

    The Scriptures declare, ‘yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live’ (1 Corinthians 8:6).
    And that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son [Jesus], that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life’ (John 3:16).
    We need to worship and praise the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father (Ephesians 1:17) and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:11).
    But why is this so important?

  • Fiicele Babilonului

    If the true Church was always in the wilderness (not mainstream), persecuted by the Papacy throughout the 1260 years of the reign of the Man of Lawlessness (the Anti-Christ), then what about the Reformation Era’s famous Protestant churches? Weren’t they any good? Didn't they protest the Papacy's unbiblical heresies and come out of that system? Does the Bible have any prophecies on that particular time period in church history? If so, how were they fulfilled?

  • Fundamentalism - sfârșitul lumii?

    Fundamentalists claim the Earth is to be destroyed. Is that scripturally correct? Why does Jesus say the meek shall inherit the Earth? And why do Scriptures say 'the Earth abideth forever'? Is there a difference between the end of the age and the end of the world? Why does the Bible predict interesting events that happen on the Earth after the "fire" of God's jealousy devours the planet?

  • Marea Apostazie

    The Bible’s prediction on the future of Christianity after the departure of the Apostles was interesting. The Apostle Paul forecast a great apostasy where savage wolves would rise from within the believers themselves and draw people away from the truth. How was this prophecy fulfilled? What were the various false doctrines brought in by this Great Apostasy? And how did they end up impacting Christianity?

  • Modernism - e posibil?

    According to modernism, how can Man establish a righteous and peaceful kingdom on Earth all by himself? Is the Modernists’ claim really possible? Are we on our way to a Kingdom of Peace? And is their theory supported by Scriptures? What does the Bible say in this regard?

  • Omul nelegiurii

    Biblical prophecies forecast a "Man of Lawlessness", an Anti-Christ. Many interpret the prophecies and expect him to be a world leader who is to rise in the future. And then there are others who theorize that person as Emperor Nero and conclude that all those prophecies got fulfilled in 70 AD. If either of those theories are true - i.e. the Anti-Christ had a quick reign in 70 AD (or) he is supposed to rise only in the far far future - then that would make the majority of church history (2000-odd years) irrelevant. That doesn't make much sense. Is that what the Bible really says?

  • Penticostalism

    Pentecostalism is a 20th century movement with a main focus on experiencing miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit like speaking in tongues. Today many think the gift of tongues is to speak unintelligible words because that’s what people see in Pentecostal churches. But was that the case when the Early Church got this spiritual gift? First of all, what was the reason God gave such gifts to the believers? And what was the purpose of other miraculous gifts like healing and personal prophecies?

  • Poliția morală

    Most young people are disenchanted with today’s Christian churches as they see a widely prevalent ‘holier than thou’ attitude and a judgmental mentality among churchgoers, irrespective of their denominations. Do the teachings of Jesus support such an attitude? Are his true followers supposed to align with him or should they imitate the Pharisees who called Jesus a drunkard because he wined and dined with sinners?

  • Spiritism - totul in minte?

    Spiritualists theorize that the Kingdom is just in the spiritual realm. They usually quote Luke 17:21 to claim the Kingdom is "within" people. Did Jesus really tell the Pharisees that his Kingdom was within their hearts? What did he actually tell them? How can his statement be harmonized with the rest of the Bible?

  • Știm ce venerăm?

  • Teologia Prosperității

    Prosperity preachers proclaim to their flocks - "God wants you to enjoy worldly success, wealth, and health. No sickness! No poverty. That's your reward. Claim it! Now repeat this with me again!" And they usually encourage their captive audience to indulge in verbal chants/repetitions of Old Testament Bible verses with Amens and what not. They also demand one-tenth of people's earnings as a tithe to the church. Is this all biblical? What did Jesus say about seeking wealth and worldly success?
