Scriptural
truths are hard to come by. Hundreds of religions exist
today, with thousands of denominations existing within
Christianity alone. The debate between what is true and what
is false is never ending, with pride continually coming into
people's view. Scriptural Truths is an attempt to make an
objective look at Biblical texts, examining the doctrines
supposedly proven by them. A consideration of context and grammar
is always done first, only afterwards considering the
teaching of other Scripture. In doing this we have attempted
to provide the most objective view possible. Infallibility
is certainly not promised, nor is it claimed. If ever
incorrect, we take no issue in such an admittance and will
gladly receive any correction provided. What is provided
here is our honest, sincere effort to examine the
Scriptures.
Is a website as
this necessary? Some will say no, for there are
countless websites that teach about the Bible, and yet how many
of those are simply a repetition of the same thing?
Unlike so many others, Scriptural Truths does not find it
necessary to conform to the various creeds that have been
written throughout the years. At the same time, this
site is also not going to defend a doctrine at all
costs. So many websites provide what is essentially
garbage. In rejecting a false doctrine they defend
their position against it by a means that is either
unstudied or dishonest. This website will make a
sincere effort to never be guilty of such a thing. Of
course, as we are not infallible we can never make any
promises. What we do promise is to thoroughly research
every position we take and to provide the most clear and
concise reasons for those positions. We will not do
this merely of ourselves, but we will do it prayerfully,
making every effort to follow the guidance of the holy
spirit. If we do make an error we will correct it as soon as it
comes to light. This is our promise and we will stand
by it.

We believe in one God the
Father (Deut 6:4; Psa 83:18; 1 Cor. 8:6), the creator of
all things. (Rev. 4:11)

We believe in God’s son Jesus
Christ (Joh. 3:16; Joh. 17:3; Heb. 1:1-2), who pre-existed
