1 John 4:1-3: The Command to “try the spirits” and the Rise of the Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Word of Faith Doctrine of Exorcism, part 1 of 3
Before you read the beginning of this series by Thomas Ross, to be continued on some successive Fridays, I wanted to let those interested know that more sermons are being uploaded on our church website, six so far, and there will be many more, Lord willing this summer, at this link. ********************* 1 John 4:1-6 […]
The Idea of the Inerrancy of Scripture
Several years ago, someone wrote a nasty post about me on his blog, so I answered it in his comment section. I wasn’t trying to win the Mr. Evangelical or Mr. Fundamentalist contest, just clearing up the slander. That comment section no longer exists — he deleted most comment sections in his archives — but […]
Laughter: If Two Galaxies Collide and No One Was There to Hear It, Did They…
I decided to watch this: And I laughed. We should laugh. God sits in the heavens and laughs. Man will be long gone. Two galaxies will collide and no one will be here to see it. All of this floating debris, capriciously moving around, intersecting and banging up against each other. Nobody there to appreciate […]
God-honoring and Bible-based Christian Mutual Funds
When we stand before the Lord, we will have to give an account for our use of money, along with everything else. All we have really does not belong to us, but is a stewardship we have from God. Scripture represents an abuse of financial stewardship as a serious sin (cf. James 5:1-5; Matthew 25:14-30). Do you own […]
Exploring Unacceptable Degrees of Normativeness of the Book of Acts
Making the New Testament book of Acts normative instead of transitional comes from a wrong perspective and interpretation of scripture and explains much wrong doctrine and practice in professing Christianity today. Some pin the needle on bad doctrine and practice, vis-à-vis the Charismatic movement. Some of it is bad, but not quite as bad, e.g., […]
Not God’s Problem: The Bible Does Answer the Question of Suffering in Lamentations
No one should be happy that Bart Ehrman gets a job teaching the Bible and religion on a state campus. Everyone should ask why it is that it must be someone like him the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill employs. Ehrman was a Moody Bible style confessing evangelical who apostatized at the latest […]
The Book of Life and Eternal Security–do Revelation 3:5 & Revelation 22:18-19 Teach that a Christian may Lose his Salvation?
The Bible teaches that the names of all the elect were written in the book of life from the foundation of the world. “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names […]
The Root of Uncertainty: Not Can’t, Not Don’t, But Won’t
A few years ago now, Phil Johnson, executive director of Grace to You, told me something that I’ve now quoted quite a few times, but here goes again: Virtually everything is clear and certain in your mind. The pomos’ pathological uncertainty is in part a reaction to the unwarranted hubris of the rigid fundamentalist perspective […]
Same Gender Intimacy and Coition Is Bad and Worse
I’m trying to allow this article to pass through sensitive filters, so those, mainly Christians, won’t be blocked from it. That is the only reason I’m avoiding certain terms and used same gender intimacy and coition (SGIC). ****************** The NFL had its first openly SGIC claimant drafted this year #249 by the St. Louis Rams. […]
The NKJV—Just “Easier to Read,” or an Inferior Translation that, Among other Problems, is Weaker on Sodomy?
Is the NKJV simply an easier-to-read update of the King James Version, or does it alter—for the worse—the sense of the KJV? Consider, as a representative example, the following passages from the KJV: Deut. 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 1Kings 14:24 […]
