Prosecutorial Misconduct, Mistrial, and Dismissal of Charges
I heard someone say recently and smartly, “There are repercussions for telling the truth, but they are never worse than not telling the truth.” It is tough to watch on and see the lies pile up in the United States and across the world. The worst of the lies is that God is not in […]
Ruth 3:15: “he” or “she” went into the city? 1611 & 1769 KJV
Ruth 3:15, in the widely-used 1769 revision of the King James Bible, reads: “Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.” However, the 1611 edition of the […]
Almost All Historians Get History Wrong
Habakkuk as a Paradigm In the first four verses of the book of Habakkuk, the prophet questions God, “Why does He permit evil in Judah?” God answered Habakkuk in verses five through eleven by saying, “I am raising up Babylon to chastise Judah.” Habakkuk wanted Judah punished for her sin.

The Expectations of the Apostle Paul for the Visit of an Unbeliever to a Meeting of the Lord’s Church
Seeker Sensitive? Maybe out of spiritual sensitivity someone seeks to visit a church meeting. Such seeking happens though in far less frequency today. A tension exists about the issue of seeking.

James White / Thomas Ross Debate: KJV Translators & KJVO (4)
When I recently debated James White on the preservation of Scripture, Dr. White claimed that the KJV translators would have been “completely” on his side in the debate, were they alive today. I have produced a number of review videos examining this claim, as part of a video series which will, Lord willing, go through […]
For All Have Synd
Sin “Sin” is a word most people rarely say or hear any more. If they admit they’ve done anything wrong, they’ve made mistakes and committed errors. Rightly so, because they’re not thinking so much about whether they offended God in what they’ve done. A very biblical word, “sin” left common usage as people eliminated it […]

Merriam-Webster online gives the following definitions: 1 a : knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of […]
Remarriage After Divorce: Continual Adultery? Christ’s View
According to Jesus Christ and the New Testament, is remarriage after divorce continual adultery? Christ is clear that putting away or divorcing one’s spouse and marrying someone else when one’s spouse is still alive is a wicked sin, and the consummation of that second marriage is an act of adultery, making the people who commit […]
Are You a Piglet?
Winnie the Pooh This might surprise you, but I categorize personalities sometimes by Winnie the Pooh characters. Not everyone fits into the Pooh constellation, but many do, I’ve found. For instance, if I say, Eeyore, does that sound like anyone you know? I’ve known several Eeyores in my lifetime. You’ve got Pooh himself, Owl, Rabbit, […]
