The Total Lie of a Zionist Conspiracy Proceeding from Scofield’s Reference Bible
Part One Part Two Part Three The Biblical and Long History of Premillennialism Premillennialism, the belief that Jesus Christ will return physically to Earth before establishing a literal 1,000-year millennial kingdom (as described in Revelation 20), has deep roots in early Christian interpretation and teaching. It is not a modern invention tied to […]
The Reformulation of the Overall Meaning of Scripture Proceeding from Allegorical Interpretation
Part One Part Two Satanic Attack on the Bible Satan opposes God and does this in major fashion by attacking scripture. This undermines or eliminates God’s authority with people, leaving them living on their own according to their own will. Saving faith comes also by hearing the actual Word of God. Early in the […]
Same Sex Marriage Oddity As Not A “Secondary Issue” (Part Two)
Part One Cultural Liberalness Evangelicalism long ago separated cultural issues from doctrinal ones. You will read many today saying that they are doctrinally conservative and socially or culturally liberal. If doctrines are primary, culture became all secondary. Most evangelical churches now rely on pragmatic means for numerical church growth. Especially young people want to fit […]
Same Sex Marriage Oddity As Not A “Secondary Issue”
Same Sex Marriage and Homosexuality Same sex marriage and homosexuality arrived with undo emphasis in the present world and unmasked the folly of dividing scripture into primary and secondary issues. Christian history is not replete with ranking doctrines — the opposite — but when it does separate essentials from so-called non-essentials, it never mentions same […]
Soul Calm That Buttresses Biblical Leadership
A Psychology In the title, I use the terminology, “soul calm,” which is peace from God. I don’t mind calling “soul calm,” psychology, which would mean a psychology behind biblical leadership or pastoring. “Psychology” comes from the two Greek words, psuche (“soul”) and logos (“word”). True psychology is God’s word about the soul. To continue […]
Unscriptural and Extreme Forms of Separation
On July 13, David Litt wrote an opinion article in the New York Times, entitled, “Is It Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?” Apparently, Litt served as a presidential speech writer in the Obama White House for four years. Today, Sarah Jones in the New York Magazine, Intelligencer, wrote a piece called, “It’s Okay […]
The Heritage of the Ancient Turn toward Allegorization as a Hermeneutic
Part One Allegorical interpretation of scripture began to take shape in the pre-Christian era with Jewish scholars like Philo of Alexandria, who sought to reconcile Hebrew scriptures with Greek philosophy. By the 2nd century AD, early Christian thinkers like Origen adopted and expanded this method, viewing the Bible as containing hidden, spiritual meanings beneath its […]
The History of Textual Criticism Supplanting Divine and Perfect Preservation of Scripture
The Enlightenment, with its emphasis on reason, empiricism, and skepticism toward traditional authority, gave rise to the naturalistic approach to scripture and modern textual criticism. These challenged transcendental and fideistic views of truth and the belief in the providential, divine, and perfect preservation of scripture. This shift occurred through a convergence of intellectual movements—empiricism, German […]
Allegorization of Scripture Has an Ancient History Deviating from the Truth
The Use of History If you can’t prove your point with scripture, you could rest on history. You have an apparent old belief, so you provide old quotes to say this is the historical position of the church. It’s an argument, sure. As you know, false doctrine is old too. Also, the majority position, the […]
What Makes a Postmillennialist Like Douglas Wilson Afraid of Preaching a Book: My Take
Douglas Wilson’s Fear of Teaching Isaiah A few weeks ago Douglas Wilson posted a video in an interview with Joe Rigney, an associate pastor at his church, where he was asked why he wouldn’t preach on certain books of the Bible. For instance, he had not preached through Isaiah and wouldn’t because of the difficulty […]
