Bible Doctrine

TO MY MUSLIM FRIENDS is my humble and sincere effort at answering some of the key issues that the Muslims generally raise regarding the fundamental doctrines of the Holy Bible. Not too many Christian scholars have addressed these issues adequately. Therefore, I have tried to deal with them according to the grace that God has granted to me. These issues include the following: Who is God? Can we know Him? Can we call Him Father? Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? Is He the Son of God? Can God become Man, taking birth through a virgin mother? How can God be a Triune God? The nature of the Holy ...

Have you ever wondered what the Catholic Church teaches about the pope? Who established the papacy? What is the role of the pope? Why does the Church need the pope? Is it possible that Catholic teaching about the papacy reflects the authentic teaching of Jesus, has been taught by the Church since the apostolic era, and describes the mechanism by which Jesus choses to preserve and proclaim the deposit of faith? Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick (1796-1863) wrote The Primacy of the Apostolic See to answer these questions and more, with scholarship, compassion, and love. Jesus said: “And I tell...

What do Catholics and Protestants believe about the Bible? Where do they agree and disagree? Catholics believe that: “God is the author of Sacred Scripture because he inspired its human authors; he acts in them and by means of them. He thus gives assurance that their writings teach without error his saving truth.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 136) Many Protestants share this same belief. Yet, differences emerge with respect to the doctrine of the rule of faith — the standard by which individuals interpret difficult passages of the Bible. Louis-Nazaire Cardinal Bégin (1840-1925)...

Ever since Christianity began, the Bible has had a special place in the Christian religion. Its teachings span centuries and consist of histories, poetry, laws, proverbs, and letters. No one can understand Christianity without an understanding of the book Christians call the Word of God. This excerpt from the book "Solid Ground' explains the Bible for believers and unbelievers alike, covering who wrote it, under what circumstances, translations, and how to read it to obtain the most benefit from it. Mr. Clay warns against the pitfalls that many unwittingly fall into when trying to read the ...

What is Discipleship? This should be an important question for all believers as our Lord instructed us that we should “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). But we are seeing evidence that we as a church have failed to adequately fulfill this charge. Without a firm grasp of these essential core doctrines, many believers are not equipped to refute false teaching which can impact their faith. GROW: Essentials for Disciple Makers, provides key Christian subjects to cover in one-on-one discipleship or in small group discussion. These helpful lessons for both new believers, as ...

The doctrine of election, like many truths about God, tends to involve some mystery and some controversy, but as we will see, this is a wonderful doctrine which should move us to humility, confidence, praise, faithfulness, holiness, and joy. Using 1 Peter as a starting pointing, this book will guide you through scriptures that teach the doctrines of election and eternal security.

God is angry with the church in our days! This is because many denominations have unknowingly drifted into Paganism, Idolatry and Satanism. While some are guilty of image worship, others are culpable in the worship of various forms of mammon. Ministers of the gospel are now competing for largest church auditorium, largest church network, and even largest church attendance. Unfortunately, the outbreaks of these incidences are not new to the body of Christ. There are Bible indications to confirm that none of the winds of doctrine bedeviling Christianity in our days is new. This is why the ...
