What Is the Work of the Lord?
Part One New Testament Phrases The New Testament uses the following phrases these numbers of times: work of the Lord — 2 (1 Corinthians 15:58, 16:10) work of God — 2 (John 6:29, Romans 14:20) works of God — 3 (John 6:28, John 9:3, Acts 2:11) work of Christ — 1 (Philippians 2:30) work of […]
Faith in God and the Sufficiency of the Church
Pleasing God by Faith In a now very familiar verse, James writes in James 2:19: Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Someone may say that he has faith, but what is the […]
The Satanic Attack on Taking God’s Word Literally
Early in the Bible, God shows how that Satan attacks what He says. God wants men to anticipate this attack. Satan doesn’t want the audience of God’s Word to receive what God said. He tries to get the hearer to read something of his own opinion into it. Without faith, it is impossible to please […]
What Is To Separate People?
Separation Most professing Christians ignore the biblical doctrine of separation. Scripture teaches separation, but a vast majority don’t know what the Bible says about it. By far, more people know the Bible teaches unity, but separation and unity go together in God’s Word. Truly, you can’t support unity without supporting separation. In what I will […]
Answering Mark Ward’s Last Attack on Preservation of Scripture (part three)
Part One Part Two In the last portion of the Mark Ward video to which I’ve referred in this series, he gives his view of the preservation of scripture. It has similarities to Adam in the Garden of Eden after the Fall in Genesis 3:12: The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, […]
Answering Mark Ward’s Last Attack on Preservation of Scripture (part two)
Part One Modern Textual Criticism In a recent video, Mark Ward again attacked the biblical and historical position on the preservation of scripture. He’ll surely have or find people who will support him. They use modern versions and many of them don’t understand the issue. He helps them stay in the dark on this. Ward […]
Answering Mark Ward’s Last Attack on Preservation of Scripture
Mark Ward summarized almost all of his views on the issue of the preservation of scripture towards the end of his most recent video (here next is a transcript): Stories? King James Onlyists in my experience tend to tell themselves one of two neat and tidy stories: a Masoretic Text/TR story or a Ruckmanite story. […]
Utilitarianism As The Only Moral Law That Matters
What Standard? As you look around the world in which we live, you may wonder the basis for moral choices. Why rampant abortion? Why pervasive foul language of the worst sort? How are all music types now acceptable? What is the basis for same sex marriage? How could ninety percent of teenagers justify their premarital […]
The New King James Version Does Not Come From the Same Text as the King James Version
In recent days at his youtube channel, Mark Ward again compared the New King James Version (NKJV) with the King James Version (KJV). This goes back a few years, when Ward wrote a blog post that said that the NKJV and the KJV came from an identical Greek New Testament text. In the comment section, […]
Natural Laws Don’t Cause Origins or Existence
Natural Laws When you look at the world and space around it, you are not seeing the result of natural laws. The natural laws, such as the law of gravity, do not explain the origin of the universe. When one football player flies out of bounds after a collision with another, a natural law […]
