Going Too Far with Separation?
I like to write about separation, especially in light of our book coming out this year on ecclesiastical separation. Stay tuned for its launch. ****************** A few weeks ago, I wandered over to the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International (FBFI) blog (Proclaim & Defend), and saw that Larry Oats, longtime faculty and administration at Maranatha Baptist […]
College for Church Kids, pt. 3
When we make any decision, we start with, does it obey Scripture? Christian colleges teach the Bible. They even require Bible classes. If your child attends one of these classes, he will be receiving biblical doctrine and practice. Does God permit a child of God to learn a skewing of scripture? I established in […]
A Paradigmatic Example of New Age Medicine and How to Expose and Analyze it, part 1
What is below is an adjusted version of a real letter by someone on this subject, pertaining to an actual chiropractor named Jay Fox, a practicioner and advocate of muscle testing/Applied Kinesiology, homeopathy, and traditional chiropractic techniques. Minor changes have been introduced, and the name of the individual visiting Chiropractor Fox changed to “Judy,” representative […]
College for Church Kids, pt. 2
I’ll be continuing with the actual history of one Bible onlyism, also known as KJO, and why I’m not a Calvinist, but I’m busier than usual, ready to leave for a few days, so I’ll move ahead with this series, because it’s easier right now to write about. Stay tuned. There is a part one […]
James 5:14-20 and Unconventional or Alternative Medicine
As we discovered in previous posts on James 5:14-20 (this is the fifth post on the passage; part one is here), James 5 requires the use of medicine in its commendation of oil. Nobody has been led by the Holy Spirit to reject medicine and the best available human means through which God heals the […]
WHY I’M NOT A CALVINIST (part two): Romans 9
The Bible comes first, then comes theology. When we look at the Bible, do we see Calvinism? We started with Romans 9 and we continue, picking up in v. 14. God’s love can be trusted. The national election of Israel did not assure personal salvation. Physical descent from Abraham did not guarantee the blessings of […]
The Pentecostal Doctrine of Faith-Healing and James 5:14-20, part 4
Indeed, when James 5 teaches that the sick believer is to consider his spiritual needs and fellowship with the Lord, pray and get godly counsel and fellowship, and use medicine, he affirms a view of the relationship between God as healer and physicians dominant in inter-testamental Judaism as seen in the Apocrypha in the Wisdom […]
The Actual History of King James Onlyism
King James Only people aren’t obsessed over their history. I haven’t even heard a King James Only person bring up the history of King James Onlyism (KJO). However, the opponents of KJO seem to be very interested and want to be its historians. In the last few months, I heard two versions of KJO history, […]

You can download a trial version of Accordance free here and get the fonts with the free download if you wish. The oil of James 5:14-20 is medicinal.

Self-Loathing Revivalist Baptist Continuationists
Friday I’m going to post again, postponing (ha, is that a pun?) Thomas Ross’s regular contribution until Monday. My post will be entitled “I’m Gunna Use Worldly Lust to Lure Kids to Christian College.” I’ll leave it to you to guess what that will be about. Don’t miss it though. Now proceed to read. ********************* […]
