Thomas Ross is somewhat over his hand and wrist problems, so will be contributing here at What Is Truth more in the future. Friday is his day, unless he informs me otherwise. You will be able to read his delightful, informative pieces on the weekends, until I come back with my coarse, illogical concoctions usually […]
Cutting through the Wrong Messenger to Believe the Right Message
One of the most difficult things in life is to believe someone I find odious. Someone said that even a broken clock is right twice a day. It’s tough but true. When I was in college and a dormitory supervisor, one of the bad boys of the dorm, who was ultimately expelled, caught me in […]
How to Handle Doctrinal and Practical Problems with Other Churches
Some have called our church isolationist, that we isolate ourselves from all other churches. That’s not true. We do fellowship with other churches, and that fellowship is with churches of like faith and practice. We have begun and continued fellowship based upon common belief and practice. What happens when we believe or recognize that one […]
Seventh Day Adventism’s Anti-Trinitarianism and its Claim to be the Restored True Church
Although most of the modern Seventh Day Adventist cult is is relatively pro-Trinitarian, a “study of Adventist history indicates that from the earliest years of [the] church to the 1890s a whole stream of writers took an Arian or semi-Arian position. The view of Christ presented in those years by Adventist authors was that there […]
Selective Reformation pt. 5
We would all be better off if all we cared about was whether the Bible actually taught something or not. Instead, we trumped that idea with keeping together coalitions and being popular with the world. I think this is most obvious in the refusal to give serious consideration to what Scripture says about the church. […]
Was David Cloud Right in His Exposure and Reproof of West Coast Worship?
David Cloud recently produced the following video exposes of the music of West Coast Baptist College and Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California. To show how out-of-touch I was on this issue, I didn’t even hear about it until about three weeks ago,when the whole shabang actually started in March of this year. Once I […]
Opposing the Monster He Helped Create
For several years now, especially in his published materials, John MacArthur, perhaps the leader of the conservative evangelicals, has exposed and opposed a major element of pragmatism and worldliness in evangelicalism. He’s obviously alarmed by it. I have enjoyed what he has written about it and much of what he has said, including what he […]
Justin Bieber Wears Women’s Pants
One of the yahoo news features revealed that Justin Bieber confessed that he wears women’s pants. To add some detail, the top article called this “cross dressing.” Except, well, no one even knew it. Nobody would have known, if he hadn’t said. Can it be cross dressing to do something about which no one would […]
The Scriptural Problem of Kevin Bauder’s Definition of “Fellowship”
Coming out this month from Zondervan is one of its “four views” books, this one Four Views on the Spectrum of Evangelicalism. The four views of the book are represented by four different men with differing perspectives on what should be true evangelicalism. Collin Hansen, one of the editors, writes in the introduction: “This book’s […]
Except Ye “Repent,” More Sword Aberration
In so many cases in certain branches of fundamentalism, preaching isn’t judged by its absolute faithfulness to the text as it is to its style and effects. Someone can preach something that a particular passage does not say, and many people respond positively to it, and it was a good sermon, maybe even a great […]
