“Primary” and “Secondary,” Biblical Separation, and Application of Scripture: Johnson, MacArthur, Driscoll, and Murray pt. 2
Quintessential Christian biographer, Iain Murray, wrote a sketch of John MacArthur that was included in the book, Truth Endures, a 2009 commemoration of MacArthur’s forty years of ministry at Grace Community, published by Grace to You. Phil Johnson, executive director of Grace to You, preached at the 2009 Shepherd’s Conference against smutty pulpit language, exposing […]
“Primary” and “Secondary,” Biblical Separation, and Application of Scripture: Johnson, MacArthur, Driscoll, and Murray pt. 1
I do not believe that evangelicals especially, conservative or otherwise, obey biblical commands of separation. The mighty problems in evangelicalism and even fundamentalism come in a major way because they do not separate as Scripture teaches, either ecclesiastically or personally. They fellowship with unscriptural doctrine and practice. The descending slide in this country has been […]
The Indifference of Contemporary Fundamentalism
Kevin Bauder, dean of Central Baptist Theological Seminary, has revived the usage of the term “indifferentism,” and then concocted a companion word, “everythingism.”(1) He snatched the term from the writings of J. Gresham Machen, early fundamentalist. Bauder writes: “J. Gresham Machen labeled them “’indifferentists.’” In 1923 Machen uses the word “indifferentism” on pp. 50-51 of […]
Whose Beliefs Aren’t Taught In Scripture and Have No History Before the Nineteenth Century?
What would you think if what you believed had no biblical basis and no history before the nineteenth century? What would you call yourself? Could you even have such a belief? Who do you think of when I ask such a question? Is it the Mormons? Is it the Jehovah’s Witnesses? Is it the Campbellites? […]
Brainwashed Bibliology
For years evangelicals and fundamentalists (of the non revivalist variety) have given the cold shoulder to supporters of the King James Version (KJS = King James Supporters). I designate King James Only men that way because of the pejorative nature of the KJVO identification. Most evangelicals and fundamentalists are not likely to listen to anything […]
Why to Delete a Facebook Account
Facebook introduced me to world of internet social networking. I was in an orchestral board meeting and I mentioned “the rolodex.” I got real laughter. “You use a rolodex?” I was bewildered. I had not heard that rolodex was out. “People use facebook now.” Well, I didn’t know that facebook had replaced the rolodex, but […]
The Paradigm for Preservation of Scripture
We open the cover of our Bible and the first page is a test of faith. Why? No one was there. We have no way of knowing Genesis 1:1 was true, except for the Word of God. Should we interpret what we see in the world based upon what Scripture says or should we interpret […]
Liar, Liar….James White and AOM
Until the latest fiasco of James White with Bart Ehrman, and then his actions right afterwards, I didn’t know him. I had seen him in some video and heard some audio, but very little besides that. I don’t see from where the loyalty to him comes. He’s got a lot of followers, it seems. Or […]
First Impressions of the Ehrman-White Debate
I’ve now listened to the entire debate, every minute. I’ll probably listen to the whole thing again. My goal is to be objective with this analysis. To start, I would far prefer James White over Bart Ehrman. For me to be objective, I couldn’t have a horse in this race and be fair. I’ve debated […]
Ehrman-White Debate
I had read about this and was interested in listening if they recorded it, but James White and Bart Ehrman debated on January 21 this year on the resolution, “Did the New Testament Misquote Jesus?” This is a take-off of Ehrman’s NY Times bestseller, Misquoting Jesus, which is essentially textual criticism for dummies. Ehrman’s a […]
