In Search of Truth

Dear email, Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will try to answer your questions. Placing membership with a local church when you move to a new location is a Biblical practice. We read in Acts 9:26-30 that Paul when he came to Jerusalem after his conversion, he tried to "join the disciples" ...

Pardon my delay in responding, but I have been very busy the last few days. As I read what you have to say, there is much with which I agree. You make statements that God has predestined you without your will being involved. Then you say you studied and then believed God’s word. When closely examin...

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will respond to your email. First of all, the website answers most, if not all, your questions. Just go to the section on Calvinism and it is very thorough in dealing with total depravity, etc. It will take time to read all the scriptures, but I believe if ...

Thanks for again visiting insearchoftruth.org. We appreciate your comments. We try to give complete answers to questions and I will try to answer your question above. I believe you are correct in saying that II Thess. 2:13 sounds like God chose who would be saved from the beginning. In fact, I beli...

Hi, here is the message I sent to you previously... larry ------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will try to provide you with some information that will be helpful in understanding passages that speak about hardening the heart. T...

Thanks for writing for additional information and for clarification. It is wonderful you have an interest in spiritual things. No, Jesus in not ruling in a physical kingdom. David did sit on his throne in Jerusalem ruling over Israel. His was a physical kingdom. The Jews were expecting the Messiah ...

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will try to answer your question. Yes, Christ is sitting on David's throne today. As we look at II Samuel 7, we see the Lord speaking to King David through Nathan the prophet. In verses 11-16, we read--- “since the time that I commanded judges to be over My...

I hope you have had time to study the information I sent you. I would be interested in what you think.

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I will try to offer some information regarding your question about the Holy Spirit. You mentioned that Paul was called, or appointed to be a preacher and he was selected to be an apostle. All the apostles were selected by Jesus. In Acts 1:2, we read that Jesu...

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. I'm glad to hear you found the web site helpful. It is good to hear you and your wife are trying to serve our Lord and are willing to make changes in your life to do so. I will try to provide you some information regarding your question about tongues. Being a...

Dear Lim, I will have to say that you are persistent. That is an excellent quality. One needs to study the scriptures as did the Bereans in Acts 17:11. I wish there were more people who were as concerned about their service to God. The passages you refer to are both probably referring to the Lord’s...

Thanks for replying and for your further question. I'm glad to hear you agree that following the Bible in all things is important. Just as the bread being in one or more pieces when received by the participant is not important, whether or not the administrator breaks the bread or just offers thanks ...

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. Also, thanks for your comments about the Lord's Supper article. Regarding your question about using broken pieces of bread, let me offer a few comments. It is important that we follow the Bible in all the things we do as we serve our Lord. Following the New T...

Dear William, Thanks for your reply. I will try to address some of the issues you mention. I’m sorry you felt I didn’t use enough scripture. I used verses to show that “all” did not always mean every last one in a category. I used scripture to show that it is the soul that sins will die. I also use...

I appreciate your willingness to confess and repent of your sinful activity. The Bible does teach we are to flee sexual immorality ( I Corinthians 6:18 ). Even though we may detest something, the devil will use all his power to try to involve us in those activities. Pornography is a powerful habit a...

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. This is in response to your question about babies and sin. The Bible does say in Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Actually, the word “all” as used in the Bible does not necessarily mean all humanity. Let me give you an exa...

Baptizing people "in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" or in "the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" are both acceptable. "In the name of" does not prescribe a ritualistic formula of words to be called out while baptizing a person, but explains by what right or authority baptism...

Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. Calvinists assert that God's foreknowledge and man's free will are irreconcilable. The Bible teaches that God has foreknowledge; therefore God's foreknowledge is a fact. Likewise, the Bible teaches that man has free will; therefore man's free moral agency is ...

Thanks for visiting www.inseachoftruth.org. This is in response to your question about what age a child is responsible for his/her sin. This is not an easy question because I can't go to the scriptures and give you passages that directly address the subject. Some have said that the age of 12 is a go...

Dear email, Thanks for visiting insearchoftruth.org. This is in response to the question regarding blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The direct answer to your question is yes. You can be forgiven for any sin if you truly repent. There is a general misunderstanding of Mt. 12:31-32 which speaks about blas...
