Fideistic Fakes
“They’re fideists” is the smoke screen en vogue for the MVO (multiple version only) crowd. They pirouette for applause from their friendly rationalists, smiling and waving like British monarchs. “They’re bad. They’re fideists. We’re not.” I see them in a tight bear hug with Bruce Metzger, their textual daddy. You know, Dr. Bruce, the man […]
“Reasoned” Preservation of Scripture
SOME HISTORY During the 18th century in France a movement began known as the Englightenment. From France, it spread to Germany and then to all over the world. The Englightenment attempted to apply human reason to all areas of life to bring about a new social order. Religion in France had for centuries been dominated […]
Atonement (Part Two Continued): Less Excellent Than Christ
Atonement is Old Testament, not New Testament. What Christ did was more than atonement. Atonement was temporary, lasting until Christ should come. Atonement served its purpose like a tent may serve a purpose, but we don’t describe it as superior to a mansion. Atonement was offered because Christ had not yet come. In his death, […]

Atonement (Part Two): Less Excellent Than Christ

Christ’s Work on account of sin was greater and better than atonement. In the Old Testament, atonement was made in many different ways. Moses made atonement by […]
Atonement (Part One): An Old Testament Term
The middle letter of T-U-L-I-P in the five points of Calvinism is “Limited Atonement.” Before anyone can decide what he believes about atonement, he should know what atonement is. What do you think atonement is? Are you confused as it relates to the death of Christ? It seems that men think this term “atonement” is […]
Be Still
I have an image in my head of my oldest daughter, explaining to me why she couldn’t get a project done that I had for her. This was several years ago when she explained: “I can’t sit steeeel.” At the time, I was very amused that she did have an answer, one that was a […]
Perspicuity and an Emerging Corollary
You know the Monroe Doctrine. President James Monroe. After the War of 1812, the U. S. place expanded in the world. We just finished with England and in this weakened state, Spain generated problems in Florida. Andrew Jackson won at Horshoe Bend in Tennessee and in New Orleans against England, and then against Indians, smugglers, […]
Is Sanctification a “Secondary Doctrine?”
Today’s new-evangelicals regularly contribute to published materials on the doctrine of sanctification. It is a big deal with them, as it should be with anyone who claims the name of Christ. John MacArthur writes: Scripture is the manual for all “soul work” and is so comprehensive in the diagnosis and treatment of every spiritual matter […]
What Does This Verse Mean and How Does It Apply? You Tell Me
This verse: Deuteronomy 22:5, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” ******************************** ******************************** Here’s how we will do this. You answer the question in the title. I will comment. Let’s […]
