The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part four
Here’s a poem written in 1847, “Look Not Upon the Wine When It Is Red” by N. P. Willis. Look not upon the wine when itIs red within the cup ;Stay not for pleasure when she fillsHer tempting beaker up ;Though clear its depths, and rich its glow,A spell of madness lurks below.They say ’tis […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part three
Do you think that juice that is just squeezed or pressed out of grapes is alcoholic? Do you really believe that if you kept drinking juice the instant it came from grapes that at some point you could get drunk from drinking that juice? Really? That’s the argument you’re supposed to believe if you take […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part two
God cannot deny Himself. He cannot lie. Therefore, Scripture will not contradict itself. The Bible does not contradict itself. We always have a reasonable explanation for what might seem like a contradiction. In the Old Testament we have the word yayin (“wine”) used 134 times. What are we to think that yayin is? How are […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part one
In my lifetime, I cannot remember a debate about the prohibition of alcohol among people in churches with Bible as sole authority. What has happened? I believe it has started with the acceptance of alcohol in evangelical, non-separatist churches. One important way that these churches have become popular is through their compromise. They reduce this […]
So Theological Presuppositions Are Fine with Biblical Criticism After All?
I’m in no way endorsing Darrell Bock by playing this, but I enjoyed these questions by John Dickson. They’re questions I would want to ask. The answer is interesting and it is something I want to comment on after you watch it. [Please pardon the worldly music in the introduction—these evangelicals lack in discernment in […]
What Is the Communion of the Lord’s Table?
When we are done practicing the Lord’s Table, like Jesus and the Apostles, we sing a hymn and go out. We sing, “Blessed Be the Tie that Binds.” I love that song. In the second half of the first verse, you read this: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like that to that above. I’ve […]
The Very First WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE
I mean it this time. Bethel Baptist Church of El Sobrante, CA will have the very first WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE on November 11-15, 2009. So it’s coming up. That means you’ll need to get your transportation to be in the San Francisco Bay Area at that time. November 11-15 is Wednesday to Sunday, so […]
Who Is Sovereign over Sovereignty?
What is sovereignty? I’m going to show you the verses in the Bible that have the word “sovereignty” in them. Get your pen and paper. I’m going to type them between two parenthesis. OK, here they are: (_______________________________) Did you get them down? OK, the term “sovereignty” isn’t found in Scripture. Of course, that doesn’t […]
God So Loved the World
This will be a new feature on my blog. I will highlight great English or American sacred choral music.
History and Deuteronomy 22:5 (part two)
Deuteronomy 22:5 isn’t hard to understand. The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. Even if someone were to rely on modern translations (which are made from the same Hebrew text […]
