Is Infant Baptism Biblical? Here’s the Clear Answer

Yes, infant baptism is fully biblical. Before addressing objections, ask yourself this: Would God reject or punish a baby—or the parents—for baptizing the child in good faith? If your answer is no, then you have already removed the first major barrier. The problem is not with the Bible, but with how some interpret it. So let us clear up a few common misconceptions. Let me be clear before we go any further: baptism is not a custom invented by your church or denomination—it is a sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ Himself (Matthew 28:19). It is a divine gift, not a human tradition. That gift was never limited to adults, nor does Scripture impose an age restriction. The idea that baptism must wait until a child reaches a so-called “age of understanding” is not biblical—it is denominational opinion, and a selective misreading of Scripture. The sacrament of baptism is for all, including infants and children. If your denomination teaches otherwise, then I invite you—humbly and urgently—to r...

What Does It Mean to Be Born Again According to the Bible?

The phrase “born again” is one of the most misunderstood and misused expressions in Christianity today. In some modern churches, people are declared “born again” immediately after being immersed in water, often with public declarations made by pastors. While this may be done with sincerity, it does not fully reflect what the Bible teaches about spiritual rebirth. In John 3:3–5, Jesus tells Nicodemus, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus, confused, asks how a grown man can be born again. Jesus explains: “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” This clearly shows that being “born again” is not only about water but also involves the Holy Spirit. Many tend to focus only on the “water” part and interpret it as physical immersion in a pool or river. But the new birth Jesus speaks of is not just about an external act—it is about inner transformation through the Spirit of God. As the apostle...

Is It a Sin to Doubt God? What the Bible Actually Says

Is it okay to doubt God? The short answer is yes—but only if that doubt leads to seeking the truth, not rejecting it. Doubting in itself is not sinful. In fact, even some of Jesus’ closest followers had doubts. One of the most well-known examples is Thomas. After the resurrection, he famously said he would not believe unless he saw the nail marks in Jesus' hands (John 20:25). But when Jesus appeared and invited Thomas to touch His wounds, Thomas responded, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). His doubt ended in belief. This is a critical point: doubt becomes a problem only when it becomes an excuse not to believe—even after the truth has been revealed. Another example is found in the Book of Acts, where the Apostle Paul speaks before Roman governors and kings, including Felix and Agrippa (Acts 24–26). When Paul laid out the truth of Jesus and the resurrection, Felix was afraid but sent Paul away (Acts 24:25). Agrippa responded with sarcasm: “In such a short time are you persuading m...

Why Do So Many People Reject Christianity?

Why do some people reject Christianity? There are many reasons people give—some intellectual, some emotional, and others deeply personal. But Jesus Christ Himself already gave us the most honest and direct answer: "If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first" (John 15:18). In other words, just being a disciple of Jesus is enough reason for the world to turn against you. Jesus made it clear that following Him would not be easy. He said that people love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil (John 3:19). This is not a judgmental statement; it is a fact of the human condition. The light of Christ exposes sin, and rather than repent, many would prefer to reject the message entirely. Christianity teaches repentance, self-denial, humility, and truth—principles that run counter to the pride, self-indulgence, and moral relativism of today’s culture. People also twist the words of Jesus to fit their own agendas, or reject Christianity altogether because the...

Did Jesus Abolish the Old Testament Laws?

No, Jesus did not abolish the Old Testament moral laws. In fact, He fulfilled them. These laws—summed up in the Ten Commandments—are not outdated or discarded but remain foundational. Jesus made this abundantly clear when He said, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). That one sentence should put this debate to rest, but unfortunately, it has not. What many people overlook is that Jesus simplified the moral code, not by removing it, but by summarizing its heart: love for God and love for our fellow human beings (Matthew 22:37–40). If everyone lived by just these two commands, there would be no hatred, no violence, no exploitation, and no injustice. Imagine a world like that. It is not just a utopian dream—it is what the Kingdom of God is meant to be. But here is where things often go wrong. Some misinterpret Jesus’ teachings as permission to ignore Old Testament law. That is simply not true. Jesus never g...
