God Expects or Assumes a Separate Visible Symbol of Authority for Men and Subordination for Women
1 Corinthians 11:3-16 is in the Bible. I’m not going to say “sorry,” because the Bible is good for you. So those verses are good for you. God is good. And it is His world that He created. You’re part of it. So you and me function better when we operate within His design. Don’t […]

Does God Require in Dress Visible Symbols of Both Authority and Submission?
Here’s your opportunity to answer this in the comment section. You must rely on Scripture, but if you think there is no requirement of a symbol, that also would be part of your reply.
Koine Parallels to Ephesians 5:23 Show That NT Only Provides Invisible Support to the Invisible, Universal Church
(By the way, I tried to get the Greek translated each time below; if you see garble on your screen, and you want to read the Greek, download a free demo model of Accordance Bible Software, and you should, in that way, get the fonts on your computer.) Eph. 5:23 reads: For the husband is […]

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

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 […]
