Proof-Text Perversions: 1 Corinthians 12:13 (part two)
We started an article on the exegetical fallacies of 1 Corinthians 12:13 that have resulted in the invention of a universal, invisible, mystical church. More Words, Phrases, and Clauses of 1 Corinthians 12:13 “By One Spirit” I saved this one for later for at least two reasons: first, it isn’t that important in determining the […]
Proof-Text Perversions: 1 Corinthians 12:13 (part one)
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been made to drink into one Spirit.” By this time I know that universal, invisible church advocates will deny it, but 1 Corinthians 12:13 is the proof-text for their position. […]
Prooftext Perversions
Hello Reader. Thanks for dropping by. Soon I’m going to start another ongoing series of posts with the above title. Certain false religions and others take Biblical texts and wrest them from their contextual understanding. This series will mainly explain what they do mean.
MUTUALLY INCLUSIVE: LORDSHIP SALVATION
A week ago I called another pastor not in our area to check him out for the purpose of other people attending church there. I have found that I tend toward questioning a man about the gospel very first. I want to know what he believes about salvation. In order not to set off any […]
WORD OF TRUTH CONFERENCE POSTPONED
I thank those people who have shown interest in the Word of Truth Conference that we had tentatively scheduled for the end of October. This would have celebrated our 20th anniversary as a church as well. However, we have postponed it for several reasons of which our church is aware, but you may have not […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part Four)
Fundamentalists and evangelicals say that we don’t separate over everything in God’s Word. Evangelicals hardly to never teach separation. Fundamentalists argue about what doctrines and practices are worth separating over. Conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists become angry if you say that they don’t want to practice all of God’s Word. Think about it this way. Does […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part Three)
Whoever is reading this I might assume believes in one God in tune with Deuteronomy 6:4: “The LORD our God is one LORD.” We don’t worship two gods, but One. Consistent with the unity of the Godhead is the unity of the teachings of Scripture. God doesn’t contradict Himself; neither does His Word. Among all […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part Two)
Doctrines that contradict each other cannot both be true. They can both be false or only one true, but not both true. Scriptural doctrines can’t contradict each other. When they do, something is wrong in the interpretation. The correct understanding of separation will not deny a Biblical view of unity. Scriptural separation and unity harmonize […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part One)
The One and Only Consistent Scriptural Position ThatHarmonizes Separation and Unity I have stopped blogging. OK. That’s not possible or you wouldn’t be reading this. I can’t be both writing this blog and not writing this blog. As you analyze what might seem fairly obvious, you can designate this the law of the excluded middle. […]
A Case Study on Jesus’ Teaching from Scripture
The Lord Jesus Christ had just devastated the attack of the Pharisees and Herodians in Mark 12:12-17. Then came along the Sadducees and Jesus ended His session with them in 12:18-27 by saying this in vv. 26, 27: And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, […]
