Jack Chick Cartoon Tracts: Use or Not to Use?
The cartoon tracts drawn by Jack Chick are well known in fundamentalist circles. Furthermore, there is no doubt that many of them have been read by unbelievers, and that out of the vast numbers of Chick tracts that have been passed out, people have, by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the instrumentality […]

Historic, Unprecedented Political Strangeness
Events have occurred in this presidential election that are unprecedented in my lifetime, but also in all of American history. Historians might point to three unique political occasions in my lifetime that this one tops. I’m saying that too. The three are Watergate, Bill Clinton impeachment, and Bush-Gore 2000. If we go back into all […]
Good Article on Hillary Clinton at National Review
First, you can see Thomas Ross’s article below. If you are still voting for Hillary, you are still putting Hillary in office by voting for someone else besides Donald Trump, or you are voting for Donald Trump — any voters, even early and absentee — read Andrew McCarthy’s National Review article on Hillary Clinton.

An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 4
Part One, Part Two, Part Three Kevin Bauder sees a “universal church” in Matthew 16:18. Then he argues for the universal church from 1 Corinthians 12:13. When you examine every other usage of ekklesia by Jesus other than Matthew 16:18, it is obviously an assembly and local only. The burden of Bauder and those like […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 3
Part One, Part Two Kevin Bauder addresses the presupposition for church successionism by dealing with Matthew 16:18, treating it as the proof text for the position. I don’t mind calling it Baptist successionism, because Baptists can trace their lineage to Jerusalem. Succession implies an unbroken line of continuity and perpetuity suggests the permanence of the […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”, pt. 2
Part One Contrary to Kevin Bauder, local only ecclesiology did not originate with “landmarkism” and J. R. Graves in the mid 19th century. First, the church is local only in the New Testament. Second, first century Clement of Rome provides patristic testimony to local-only ecclesiology. Third, very early orthodox, printed doctrinal statements support a local […]
“The Old Testament is Mainly Fiction, not Fact”: the Dan Barker – Thomas Ross Debate
I am very pleased to announce that my debate with Dan Barker, President of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, on the topic: “The Old Testament is Mainly Fiction, not Fact,” is now available online. (Of course, Mr. Barker was in the affirmative and I was in the negative.) Mr. Barker and his organization are very […]
An Analysis and Review of Kevin Bauder’s “Landmarkism”
Someone gave me a copy of two books by Kevin Bauder, his Baptist Distinctives and New Testament Church Order, and One in Hope and Doctrine: Origins of Baptist Fundamentalism, 1870-1950, the latter co-written by Robert Delnay. Despite our differences and perhaps even his protests, Kevin Bauder and I have a lot in common, I think […]
