A True Statement on Dealing with a Disagreement on an Issue
Dave Doran, pastor of Inter-City Baptist Church and president of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, recently made this statement over at his blog. As an example, if someone wants to preach a message on women never wearing pants, then the burden on me would be to evaluate the arguments that are made and, if I disagree, […]

The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part five
Let’s review some things. God prohibits drinking alcoholic beverage in Proverbs 23:31. The terms yayin, oinos, and shekar, translated “wine” and “strong drink,” can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and this must be indicated by the context in which they are used. Now a question. Having those two points in mind, how does a particular […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part four
Here’s a poem written in 1847, “Look Not Upon the Wine When It Is Red” by N. P. Willis. Look not upon the wine when itIs red within the cup ;Stay not for pleasure when she fillsHer tempting beaker up ;Though clear its depths, and rich its glow,A spell of madness lurks below.They say ’tis […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part three
Do you think that juice that is just squeezed or pressed out of grapes is alcoholic? Do you really believe that if you kept drinking juice the instant it came from grapes that at some point you could get drunk from drinking that juice? Really? That’s the argument you’re supposed to believe if you take […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part two
God cannot deny Himself. He cannot lie. Therefore, Scripture will not contradict itself. The Bible does not contradict itself. We always have a reasonable explanation for what might seem like a contradiction. In the Old Testament we have the word yayin (“wine”) used 134 times. What are we to think that yayin is? How are […]
The Debate over the Prohibition of Alcoholic Beverage part one
In my lifetime, I cannot remember a debate about the prohibition of alcohol among people in churches with Bible as sole authority. What has happened? I believe it has started with the acceptance of alcohol in evangelical, non-separatist churches. One important way that these churches have become popular is through their compromise. They reduce this […]
So Theological Presuppositions Are Fine with Biblical Criticism After All?
I’m in no way endorsing Darrell Bock by playing this, but I enjoyed these questions by John Dickson. They’re questions I would want to ask. The answer is interesting and it is something I want to comment on after you watch it. [Please pardon the worldly music in the introduction—these evangelicals lack in discernment in […]
What Is the Communion of the Lord’s Table?
When we are done practicing the Lord’s Table, like Jesus and the Apostles, we sing a hymn and go out. We sing, “Blessed Be the Tie that Binds.” I love that song. In the second half of the first verse, you read this: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like that to that above. I’ve […]
