The Method of Allegory for Interpretation and the Parallel with Modern Progressive Interpretation
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Allegorical Interpretation, the Historical Deviation Point Allegorical interpretation boldly marks the point of deviation from the path of biblical truth in the history of the church. When God inspired the words and the books of scripture, they meant what He meant in the verbal, plenary […]
Are These Really Uniquely Dark Times Today?
A Debate About Whether Times Really Are Dark A very high percentage of people with whom I speak agree with deep decline of the United States. I ask many people the question, “Do you think the country is in decline?” Very few say “no.” Two different men touched on this subject in recent days, and […]
Modernism Is Not an Acceptable Alternative to Postmodernism: Jordan Peterson
Early Experience with Modernism Growing up in small town Indiana, no one exposed me to modernism. Without anyone telling me, I read the Bible as literal. Everything happened in it just like it read.

The author of Hebrews in 12:15-17 warns: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how […]
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Postmodernism, and Critical Theory
People in general don’t want to be told what to do. This arises from the sin nature of mankind, a cursed rebellion passed down from Adam. So people won’t have to do what an authority tells them, they disparage the credibility of it. They especially attack God in diverse manners so He won’t hinder or […]
