The Vitality of Obedience to Authority: The Lord Jesus Christ Sets the Example of Obedience to Authority
Every facet of God’s Word relates to authority and with God at the Top. Even in the model prayer, the Lord Jesus Christ references the height of God the Father, “which art in heaven.” The Lord Jesus sets Himself under the Father, which also doesn’t in any way diminish Him. Just the opposite, He is […]
I’m Sinning, Actively Disobedient to God’s Word, Disobedient to the Scriptural Counsel of Parents, and I’ve Never Had More Peace
You know this verse? But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right. It’s not the Bible […]
Some Ecclesiological Issues Exposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic
The word “church” in the New Testament translates the Greek word ekklesia, which means “assembly” or “congregation,” how Tyndale translated it in his New Testament, which predates the King James Version. He was right. It means “congregation” or “assembly.” “Congregate” and “assemble” are the same thing. It might be a little hard to read the […]
Unsheathed: Muhammad’s Biography–An Accurate Presentation
Have you wanted to read an accurate biography of Muhammad, based on the original sources, and free from bias in favor of Islam? I commend to you Unsheathed: The Story of Muhammad, by Tara MacArthur (penname to avoid getting killed; click on the book name to download it). The book is a valuable work that accurate portrays the […]
Sin and Spirituality Do Not Coexist
True spirituality relates to the Holy Spirit. Someone is spiritual when the Holy Spirit indwells him. The Holy Spirit indwells believers, truly converted or saved people only. He doesn’t indwell unbelievers, so unbelievers are not spiritual. The Holy Spirit in His holy nature does not indwell the unrighteous. Every believer is spiritual because every believer […]
If You Lived in Germany Shortly Before and During World War Two, Would You Have Sworn an Oath to Hitler?
A rule I established for my family and me as our children grew up was that we didn’t talk about television or movies in public. I had several scriptural reasons. I also made certain exceptions for myself, almost like the highway patrol that passes the speed limit sometimes. If I talk about a film that […]
Saul/Paul’s Conversion: A Contradiction in Acts 9, 22, 26?
During my debate with Shabir Ally on the topic: “The New Testament Picture of Jesus: Is it Accurate?” Dr. Ally claimed that the accounts of the Apostle Paul’s conversion in Acts 9, 22, and 26 were contradictory. He argued that the following passages were necessarily contradictory: “And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing […]
How Far Does Someone Need to Be “Off” About Jesus for Him Not to Be Jesus Anymore? It Is Not Good or Helpful to Accept or Approve a False Jesus
Is the Mormon Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible? The Moslem Jesus? The Roman Catholic Jesus? The Jewish Jesus? The Charismatic Jesus? Is the evangelical Jesus the biblical one? There is only one Jesus, the One in scripture. However, the Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 11:4, For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, […]
Self-Love Is the Most Potent Stupid Pill: The Recent Ascent of Self-Love
Scripture does not teach self love. It teaches against self love. If one trait characterizes apostasy (2 Tim 3:1-3), it is self love. When Jesus came to earth, He emptied His self (Philippians 2). At the root of the gospel is self-denial and yet self-love grows today rampant among even professing Christians. I thought perhaps […]
