Many purported preachers in America use the ignorant cliché concerning Christ being deleted from Christmas in the word “Xmas.”
 
 This mistake shows the everlasting apathy and laziness of most of America's preachers and laity.  It also indicates the need for Christians to learn the original language of the New Testament: koine Greek.  The letter “x” is the Greek letter “chi” which is transliterated “ch.”  Therefore, Christ is there but abbreviated.

The logo for biblecontroversy.com is the chiros which is composed of the Greek letters “chi’ and “rho.”  They would be transliterated “ch” and “p.”

 People will say, "Why do words and letters matter?"  Well, your salvation might be at stake.  Whether or not the Greek words "homoousious" meaning "same" or "homoiousios" meaning “like” is applicable to Christ as The Word means either Christ was God or simply a created creature.

 There is a wonderful anecdote about a wife who cabled her husband about buying a $75,000 bracelet.  The husband cabled back to her stating "No, price too high."  However, the cable operator in transmitting the message, missed the signal for the comma.  The woman received a message which read, "No price too high."  She bought the bracelet; the husband sued the company and won.

 With all the so-called freedom in this country and with Americans being so independent, it is somewhat of an irony for most Americans and Christians to be led by the nose.

Is fasting a part of the New Covenant?  Or is it like "circumcision" in that it does not apply to the Christian?  When Christ was asked about his disciples not fasting, he replied that they do not now fast, but after He is gone, they will.  When Christ said the disciples will fast after He is gone, does the word "fast" mean a literal fasting or does it mean a literal hungering after Christ?

In any case, the Pentecostals and Charismatics have made much gain out of this Old Testament rite monetarily and so-called theologically, if one can say these people have any theology at all.  For the most part, they are theologically ignorant and sycophantly eager to gain their 30 pieces of silver. One such example, Jentezen Franklin Ministries - Free Chapel Worship Center and his 21-Day Fast CD Pak is a morose debauchery of Christian theology.

How many more of these ridiculous charades will haunt and prey on the gullible American religious public?

God’s amazing Grace solely elects man to salvation and that man has no freewill and no part in his election. We showed this is true even in the English and Greek grammar of John 3:16. A local pastor wrote an open letter to a local church involved in the very issue, which has split the church. This happens when ignorance abounds and the issue is not biblically studied and discussed openly.

Preachers never preach on the Trinity because of their ignorance of the subject due to hatred of theology, so they never preach a sermon on Romans 8:28-39 because these verses clearly teach predestination and the “golden chain”  of salvation. Christians’ ridiculous anti-intellectualism, modern mysticism, Charismatic Pentecostalism, and such foolishness will lead to their eternal damnation. Add to these things the stupidity of the heretical Rick Warren mentality and you have even the elect being fooled.

It is time Columbus discussed this important issue of salvation, and Biblecontroversy.com will gladly serve as an open form.
