Someone recently said the early Christians didn’t sing songs during church services, which not one Bible verse says. This is my response.
My Testimony:
As a senior in Lutheran high school in 1974, I realized I didn’t have the ability to love people. So I decided I’d search every religion until I found the source of being able to love others. Thankfully, I started by digging deeper into Christianity, reading what the New Testament really says. It turned out that Acts was a GREAT place to start — probably is for others too.
I found what I was looking for when I read Paul and Silas’ account of worshiping God in song while in chains in prison after being stripped and severely beaten for simply preaching the gospel. Acts 16:
22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. 23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24 When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open….
34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.
Christian men need to worship in Spirit and in truth!

Both biblical and extra-biblical evidence strongly indicate that early Christians sang songs to God during their services. This practice was deeply rooted in their Jewish heritage and evolved with their new faith.
“A TIME WILL COME WHEN INSTEAD OF SHEPHERDS FEEDING THE SHEEP, THE CHURCH WILL HAVE CLOWNS ENTERTAINING THE GOATS”
– CHARLES H. SPURGEON
Paul predicted:
“For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the SOUND DOCTRINE, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)
“When you stand before men, ask little, and expect less; but when you stand before God, ask much, and expect more, and believe that He is able to do for you exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think.” – C.H. Spurgeon
“IF GOD GIVES YOU A FEW MORE YEARS, REMEMBER, IT IS NOT YOURS. YOUR TIME MUST HONOR GOD, YOUR HOME MUST HONOR GOD, YOUR ACTIVITY MUST HONOR GOD, AND EVERYTHING YOU DO MUST HONOR GOD.” – A. W. Tozer
Jesus in Matthew 7:13-21
“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it. …
Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. …
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
We need to walk in love, led and enabled by the Holy Spirit, having the fruit of the Spirit to have no condemnation now and when we see Jesus face to Face — resting in Him.
“You may have been born in church, baptized in church, served in church, could have married in church, died in church and still end up in hell, because you were only in the church and not in Christ.
It is necessary to be born again, take up our cross and follow Jesus. Many have religion, but have no relation with the living God!”
I’m still offering $6,000 to anyone who can refute what the Bible actually says:
Most pastors today don’t teach what Jesus taught.
We must actually abide in Christ to be “in Christ,” to then have “no condemnation,” because we “walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
That’s real Christianity.
Wescott and Hort pulled off an amazing deception 150 years ago, convincing scholars and Bible publishers to accept the Egyptian Greek manuscripts in which many words and entire verses were intentionally removed by manipulative scribes. So most of today’s Bible translations have key words missing.
Sadly, today’s scholars aren’t willing to correct this, probably because they like the deletions, since it fits with their “once saved always saved” gospel (removal of Romans 8:1B) and cessationism (these verses).
The Gideons Bible recently corrected their ESV version to add the missing verses, with permission of the ESV publishers.
Paul: “For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the SOUND DOCTRINE, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)
THINGS JESUS AND MARY NEVER SAID
“Mom, can you be a mediator between My followers and Me?”
“Sure Jesus! They can pray to me. I’m omnipresent and omniscient, like God, and can hear all things and hear millions of prayers at once.”
FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS; 1 TIMOTHY 2:5 KJV
Evolution is supposed to be a mindless, random process that takes place over millions of years. If this is the case, how did the human hearing system arise, with its five separate components that don’t function without the others?
Five separate parts to our hearing system all work in unison to enable us to hear, and none of the five make any sense by themselves. What good is an outer ear (engineered for capturing sound waves) if there’s not an ear drum to capture the sound wave pulses? What good is a pulsing ear drum without the three tiny bones behind it that use leverage to amplify the sound signal by a factor of 1.7 and connect to a water-charged cochlea filled with fluid? The cochlea converts the mechanical leverage to a hydraulic system that amplifies the signal another 22 times. And what good is all of this without the 20,000 tiny hair cells (stereocilia) inside the cochlea that convert the fluid movement into an electrochemical signal that we can immediately comprehend as speech?

‘Atheism’: The belief that there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing. Then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything. Then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits, which then turned into dinosaurs.
Makes perfect sense.

‘Same baby, different location!
The baby on the left is JUST AS VALUABLE as the baby on the right!’
Rom. 8:12-14 So then, BROTHERS… IF YOU LIVE AFTER THE FLESH you must die; but IF YOU PUT TO DEATH THE DEEDS OF THE BODY you will live. For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT of God, THESE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
A screenshot I made from what Jason Herrington wrote on Facebook.
Great to see people getting it! About 90 New Testament verses refute “once saved always saved,” “only believe,” and “it’s hard to lose one’s salvation.”
My article that I’m again offering $6,000 to anyone who can refute it: Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT”

Sin is serious, Apostle Paul told born again believers in (Romans 8:13) “they will die if they live according to the flesh.
(that means to die spiritually)
