It is highly evident that Christianity today is heavily influenced by the god of this world, as many members of its
communities are unable to defend their faith (1 Peter 3:15). Rather than
providing a rational understanding of the meaning of the words used in the
Bible, they continue to repeat translations that were revealed over 2,000 years
ago—translations intended for people whose understanding of reality reflected
the context of their time.
The original meanings of the contents of the
Bible are often repeated as mere texts, with the argument that they are the
literal words of God. However, many English translations seem to use words that
lack proper contextual depth.

welcomes your participation in improving this situation. You can begin by
joining conversations aimed at reading and interpreting the Bible in its
entirety, in order to rediscover the true meanings of key terms such as:
Salvation, Redemption, Gospel, Eternal
Life, Christian Doctrine, Trinity, and more.
You can help by becoming a member, a
supporter, or simply by participating in some of our Zoom meetings.
Always remember: the Bible is the metaphysical
revelation of God, who declares that without righteousness, there is no hope of
receiving redemption or of dwelling once again with Him—the God of Creation.
Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the Gospel. By you belonging to any Christian Church, does not give you redemption, you need to have conviction of the eternal destination after the end of your life to this world, and the certainty the Historical Jesus Christ, who will take your spirit there.
Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on relating to God. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact, for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty as Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in Him
The Great Commandment of Making Disciples of All Nations Is Revealed in the Bible
Matthew 28:18–20 (New International Version)
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
John 20:21–23 (New International Version)
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Mark 16:15–18 (New International Version)
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

You are invited to become equipped to present a biblical and rational defence of your Christian faith by explaining key concepts found in the Bible—such as baptism, name, salvation, redemption, soul, spirit, righteousness, and more. This involves understanding the meaning of these terms within their biblical context, so that you may be prepared to make disciples of all nations, in obedience to the command given by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be equipped with solid convictions to answer questions—whether from secular individuals or those of other religions—such as, "Can you prove that God exists?" (1 Peter 3:15). Provide a rational and meaningful explanation of the biblical language, just as the followers of Jesus Christ did more than 2,000 years ago. In doing so, you will be able to confidently present a defense of your Christian convictions today.
If you think atheists have reason, evidence, and science on their side, think again! Award-winning author Dr. Frank Turek (I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist) will show you how atheists steal reason, evidence, science, and other arguments from God in trying to make their case for atheism. If that sounds contradictory, it's because it is! Atheists can't make their case without appealing to realities only theism can explain.
Sensible and concise, witty and wise, the authors offer compelling arguments for and defences of every aspect of Christian belief, including faith and reason, God's nature, creation and evolution, providence and free will, miracles, the problem of evil, the Bible's
