The bible is easy to understand if we simply read each verse and not try to "explain" what it means. Instead we need to believe that a verse means what it says the way in which it is written without any "explanation".

The problem is many people want to say that certain verses do not mean what they say for a multitude of reasons. However, after all the examples, justification, arguments and definitions are given, the verse remains as it is recorded in the bible and still means what it says.

There are a lot of verses that are explained away and totally misrepresent the teaching of the verses. It is not my objective to try to unravel the incorrect meaning of these verses. There are other pages on this web site that do that. My objective is to show that accepting bible verses the way they are written is a simple and the easiest way to understand them.

The basis for most misinformation in the religious world today begins with the verse
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. It is claimed this verse teaches us that when we have faith we immediately have unconditional salvation; i.e., eternal salvation is at the point of faith. To accept this invalid claim would make it "necessary" to "explain" the verses below, as they do. It is not my purpose to document why this is not true. Therefore, in keeping with the intent of this page, I leave it to the reader to understand that this verse tells us, faith is yes, but unconditional salvation is no.

We must conclude, there is more implied in believing, than only belief in God and His Son.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

John 3:5
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

1 Peter 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.
