Did New Testament Christianity Borrow from Mithraism?
Did New Testament Christianity borrow from ancient pagan mystery cults such as Mithraism?[1] Attempts have been made to discredit Christianity or to cast doubt upon its veracity by alleging that it simply borrowed its ideas from the Mithraic mystery religion. For this allegation to have substance, one must prove: 1.) That Mithraism predates Christianity; […]
Sons Need Dads and Same Gender Marriage: Something’s Gotta Give
After the Baltimore riots, President Obama gave an explanation in the Rose Garden at a Joint Press Conference with the Prime Minister of Japan. He said this: In communities where there are no fathers who can provide guidance to young men . . . . in those environments, if we think that we’re just going […]
The Gospel and Simplicity
I began a series on my assessment of independent Baptists (parts one, two, three, four, and five), and will continue, but that’s how I got started on the gospel recently. From that series, I spun off into a post on the gospel, that turned into another series (parts one, two, three, and four). All of this occurred […]

Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider: Follow-Up Three
At least two different gospels are advocated by independent Baptists who say that they fellowship around the gospel, that is, both unify on the gospel and separate over the gospel. In order to explore this topic further, use it as a teaching moment, we’re going to analyze a quote from Lou Martuneac in the comment […]
Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider: Follow-Up Two
Part One, Part Two I want to give this at least one more shot (but there may be more). It is a small series spawned by a bigger series assessing independent Baptists. Most of the discussion about unity and separation among Christians deals with what unifies and what separates. Scripture teaches unity and separation. Both […]

Here are our kids for the 2014-15 school year Christmas program, 1st through 12th grade. Two of my daughters are in the picture, one at the piano, and the other, the third, took the picture.
Do Animals Have Souls and Spirits?
Have you ever heard someone say, “The difference between man and the animals is that man has a soul,” and then quote Genesis 2:7? The idea that the word soul, the Hebrew nephesh or the Greek psueche, or the spirit, the Hebrew ruach or Greek pneuma, is what distinguishes man from the animals is […]
Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider: Follow-Up
It looks like two different gospels (or more), what some might justify is two different versions or editions of the gospel, is mostly fine with independent Baptists and fundamentalists. I see most as really picky about the Bible version, pant/skirt, and music issue, but fairly come-what-may, kesara sara about the gospel, at the same time […]
Omissions From the Gospel, Important to Consider
I’m taking a short break from my series assessing independent Baptists, but this is still related to part four. I wish more interest would spread about the subject of that part in the series. Men are justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Men must believe in Jesus Christ to be saved. This is different than […]
