More on “It Is Written”
When you read “it is written” in the New Testament, what tense of verb does that sound like to you? Does it sound past? No. Does it sound present? Yes. But is it present? No. It’s actually a perfect tense verb. It’s also passive. If it were translated how a Greek student is taught in […]
Aaron on TSKT, part four
It’s now a month or two ago that Aaron Blumer, the owner of the blog-forum, SharperIron, wrote the fourth, and, it seems, final installment of a series in which he criticizes the content of the book, Thou Shalt Keep Them (TSKT). I’m going to evaluate that fourth post paragraph by paragraph and in certain cases, […]
How Does Levi’s Feast for Jesus Apply to Evangelistic Methodology?
Luke 5:27-32 records the account of Jesus’ eating with sinners: 27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. 28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 29 And Levi made him a great feast […]
Perfect Tense Preservation
by David Sutton June 16, 2010 Aaron Blumer completed a four-part series on perfect-text preservation. He stated that the Bible teaches preservation but not in a word-perfect form and not to be found in an identifiable text. His final installment included critiques from several chapters from Thou Shalt Keep Them (TSKT), including two chapters that […]
This Is Not Jack Hyles
Are we to think this is “gospel centered” and “God focused?” Is this bait and switch here? Is this just something done for the community, a gift to the community? Is this a legitimate form of “evangelistic outreach?” People in the world aren’t going to be attracted by God and the Bible. They “need” something […]
Have Pastors Been Lying about the Bible’s Application to Cultural Issues? That’s What Tim Jordan Says
Recently Pastor Tim Jordan among others was invited as a main speaker for the national conference of the General Association of Regular Baptists (GARBC). This was considered to be a big deal to the GARBC because Jordan isn’t GARBC. He’s the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Lansdale, PA, where is Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary, […]
The Irony of the Resolved Conference
Every year Grace Community Church (GCC, John MacArthur) puts on a youth gathering called the Resolved Conference. I’m not sure where the idea of the “youth conference” came from, but I know before GCC invented theirs, it was popular in revivalist fundamentalism. I don’t know of a “youth conference” that doesn’t play off of the […]
Fundamentalism Associating with Syncretistic, Pagan Profanity
A blogroll contributor for SharperIron (SI), a professing fundamentalist web-blog and forum, is promoting hip-hop and rap music (I warn you about the lewdness of this link, blaspheming our blessed Lord). Even though SharperIron does not endorse everything that’s said among their blogroll participants (in this case paleoevangelical, Ben Wright), this promotion of rap and […]

What Kind of Music Should Be Used in the Church
I’ve heard some criticism of our church music. At least three different visiting preachers have said something. A visiting family member has said something in the past and a couple of church members through the years. Here’s what I have heard from the preachers. First, visitors don’t know these songs. They’re unfamiliar to visitors. Another […]
