Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3Kh9u71 To kick of the new Q&A series, it is important to have an introduction to lay some groundwork and approach each question from the proper perspective. Questions about the Bible are greatly influenced by the heart motivation behind the question, and it is the key to everything.

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/43J8kb9 Islam is the fastest growing religions worldwide and it is the 2nd largest religion. Many believe there is a close tie with Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, but there are some very stark differences when you compare Islam to Biblical Christianity.

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/43n9CIP The roots of atheism and evolution can be traced back the Greek philosophy of materialism popularized by Epicurus, but it gained massive momentum during the enlightenment as a form of social and political rebellion against the corrupt church-state systems controlled by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. As Bible believers, we need to be able to be equippe...

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/44wVKN4 Calvinism has ebbed and flowed in popularity over the course of the last 50 years, and often it is portrayed as the theology of "true Bible believers," but that is a totally incorrect portrayal. If one is a true Bible believer, they cannot be a Calvinist or an adherent to Reformed Theology.

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3qWMovI The Mormon religion is likely the greatest offender of redefining Christian and biblical terms. Since the 1820's, this cult has amassed substantial human, financial, and political resources that will absolutely be used under the leadership of the antichrist in the Tribulation period.

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3pe3g0o The Jehovah's Witnesses is our first venture into cults that claim to be Christian, using terms that seem biblical but they have completely redefined those terms. It is an example of why it is so important that the Bible is our final authority.

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3X2um7k Venturing into the tide of protestant denominations, we start with the Church of Christ / Disciples of Christ / Christian Churches. Branching out from the Presbyterian denomination, those in this denomination carry with them many false doctrines received from the RCC... the greatest being the false doctrine of baptism for the remission of sins. Again we see that...

Study Sheets: https://bit.ly/43nqfVB After going through the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), it is appropriate to talk about Protestantism before venturing out into various other denominations. Many historians (lost and saved) teach that biblical Christianity was in and always has been in the RCC, but that they had lost their way and needed "reformed" and "purified" to return to w...

Ed's personal journey about how God led him to a biblical church.

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3ImpnIp With 1.3 billion members, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) is one of the top religions of the world. The RCC claims the name of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and uses the Bible, but when investigated and compared to what the Bible says it is in complete opposition to God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible. If we are to have a proper heart and perspective to...

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3nODxLr The introduction and first lesson on what does a true, biblical church look like sets the tone for the rest of the series. This series is not meant to be just informative so that we can soak up more information to prove "why we are right and everyone else is wrong..." but it is to be better equipped to minister to the world for our Lord Jesus Christ. W...

Q&A Session 2 to close the Calvinism series

Q&A Session 1 to close the Calvinism series

Study Sheet: http://bit.ly/41kvT9q After examining the false doctrines of Calvinism/Reformed Theology, we need to discuss how we need to properly and earnestly contend for the faith. Wisdom from the Lord is extremely important so we can be the best ambassadors of Jesus Christ that we can possibly be for him.

When examining not only the context of verses and passages Calvinists/Reformed Theologians use to support their false doctrines, but examining the grammar and basics of the English language, it is clear that the tenants of Calvinism/Reformed Theology are unfounded and found wanting. Pastor Rory Wineka speaks about this plus other aspects of his life and ministry that were impacted by Calvinism.

Study Sheet: http://bit.ly/3ZclEmm The last letter in the TULIP acronym stands for "Perseverance of the Saints," or as many Reformed Theologians like to rename it, "Preservation of the Saints." It is the doctrine that the faith God gives his elect is a faith that makes the elect to persevere unto the end and receive salvation. It may sound a lot like the doctrine of eternal sec...

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3mIAjIb Continuing down the TULIP train of Reformed Theology, we now discuss the doctrine of Irresistible Grace. Similar to previous weeks, if you believe in the doctrines of Total Depravity you begin to be cornered into believing Unconditional Election, and then Limited Atonement, and now Irresistible Grace. Rather than letting the Bible speak for itself on this matter...

Study Sheet: https://bit.ly/3KPmMZm From the Calvinistic / Reformed Theology perspective, Total Depravity leads to Unconditional Election, which leads to Limited Atonement. Each doctrine goes hand in hand in their philosophy. The truth is, if one chooses to believe in a Limited Atonement, they are not Bible believers! In order to believe this false doctrine, you must read that doctrine into the sc...

Study Sheet: http://bit.ly/3Sruye3 The doctrine of Total Depravity naturally leads to the doctrine of Unconditional Election. We uncover in this lesson how Calvinists / Reformed Theologians continue to rip verses and passages out of their context in order to create their particular interpretation of election. They say the Bible is clear on this matter and is in their favor... but the Bible is actu...

Study Sheet: http://bit.ly/3ItZbKW This is the first lesson out of five dealing with T.U.L.I.P. doctrines of Calvinism / Reformed Theology... Total Depravity. This lesson serves as a foundation to the rest of the letters in future weeks. Are humans so totally depraved in their sin nature and personal sin that they are totally incapable of responding to God in a positive manner? Can a man or woman...

Study Sheet: http://bit.ly/40AKcqW In the weeks to come we will systematically analyze the doctrines of Calvinism / Reformed Theology with the Bible ALONE as our FINAL AUTHORITY. Through the scriptures we will see that a Bible believer cannot believe in Calvinistic doctrine when they study the scriptures in context, comparing scripture with scripture, and following other basic rules of Bible study...

Study Sheet: http://bit.ly/3lt2om8 Before we get into the theological particulars of Calvinism / Reformed theology, we have to establish a few biblical standards and view some key moments from church history from the right perspective. God's heart as always been for the common man and to have a real, thriving relationship with the common man and common woman. Any person, doctrine, or system that s...
