A Catholicization of Evangelical Christianity
Not many evangelicals or fundamentalists or independent Christian denominations would consider themselves Roman Catholic (RC). Most would probably resent being associated or labeled with Roman Catholicism. I’m not trying to poke at the bee hive here. It’s not my point. I want readers to think about this. As most of you know. RC dominated much […]
Hard to Be Understood
Why essentials and non-essentials? Why uncertainty on belief and practice? Why doubt in interpretation and application? Why an excuse for disobedience? Why a reason for unity with those with a radically different position on numerous subjects? Why? There’s a go-to verse. Let’s call it a proof-text for postmodernism. What is it? 2 Peter 3:16, “As […]
“The just shall live by faith”— A Study of the Relationship of Faith to Salvation in its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fulness, part 20
The study in this post is now part of a larger study available online by clicking here: “The just shall live by faith”— A Study of Faith’s Connection with Salvation in All Its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fullness The part here began with the words: As in Romans 1:16-17 Paul’s interpretation of Habakkuk 2:4 is […]
Seeking Unity with James White
Today I started watching the Brown and White debate on essentially Calvinism — predestination, sovereignty, and human responsibility. After watching Brown’s first twenty plus minute opening statement, I began watching White’s opening, and toward the very beginning (at 25:30), White said the following about unity with Brown: We have to seek unity and the only […]
Daniel 3:25: “the Son of God” or “a son of the gods”?
Note: the argument below is rather technical and will be hard to follow without at least a little knowledge of Hebrew/Aramaic. The Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek fonts employed are Yehudit and Helena, the standard Hebrew and Greek fonts associated with Accordance Bible software. You can get the fonts free by downloading the trial version of Accordance, […]
The Conference
Speaking of “the conference,” we have more audio up at the Word of Truth Conference site, from the 2012 conference (here). ********** Through the centuries since Christ, what is Christian history or the history of the church, men have thought of a new thing to do or a new way to do something that they […]
Thoughts and Questions about the Doctrine of Separation
Nothing separates like death. Ask Nadab and Abihu, when they offered strange fire to the Lord. No one could fellowship with them anymore after they took on room temperature. Should we put strange fire on the back burner on a low simmer, or should we totally extinguish? I say let it burn as long as […]
Should Homosexuals be Put to Death by the Government?
For decades now—and with great success—cultural elites have been pushing the normalization of the abomination of sodomy. We have now gotten to the point where sodomites are being allowed to “marry,” and the normalization of homosexuality—with the related marginalization of Biblical Christianity—continues at a ferocious pace. Bible-believing Baptist churches, and other Christian conservatives, stand against […]
The Start of the Church: Who, When, and What Difference Does It Make?
I mention Church of Christ in this post, and I noticed that the debate I had with Larry Hafley is available for listening online here. We debate eternal security. It would be worth listening to. Some of the rhetorical devices I use, by the way, are not a preference of mine, but what I believed […]
“The just shall live by faith”— A Study of the Relationship of Faith to Salvation in its Justifying, Sanctifying, and Glorifying Fulness, part 19
A note from Kent Brandenburg, before you read the Thomas Ross post. I want to thank Jack Lamb (here is his website) for getting our Word of Truth Conference website looking much better. The 2012 audio will all be up soon and we will talk about the 2013 conference soon. ************************** The study in this post […]
