The Doctrine of Biblical Separation Versus Modern Alternatives or Iterations
Lots of Separation and Yet None Biblical I am amazed at the state of the practice of separation. It’s occurring at an amazing pace right now, separation is. On the other hand, people are in general clueless about the biblical doctrine of separation and in the most unlikely ways. Conservative evangelicals do. not. understand. separation. […]
Can Anyone Take a Biblical, Conservative Cultural Position in the United States today?
A Cultural Shift A shift occurred in our culture in the last twenty-five years, maybe longer, where someone would take a much harder social, unfavorable hit for supporting Patriarchy, men only in charge of institutions, versus advocating for same sex marriage. I’m using those two social or cultural issues in place of many other possibilities. […]
Same Sex Marriage Oddity As Not A “Secondary Issue”
Same Sex Marriage and Homosexuality Same sex marriage and homosexuality arrived with undo emphasis in the present world and unmasked the folly of dividing scripture into primary and secondary issues.

D. A. Carson And What He Calls, “Lowest Common Denominator Theology”

The Historical Story of External Factors Perverting the Meaning of Church
The New Testament Meaning of Church God revealed His Word, which is the special revelation of every and all of His Words by God the Spirit through human authors. Those words communicate plainly the will of God to man, including the nature of the church. The church is what scripture says it is through its […]
Separation and the Five Levels Jesus Reveals in Revelation 2:14-16
When Jesus confronts the seven churches of Asia in Revelation 2-3, He either commends or condemns them. He gives each church its appropriate measure of both actions. Jesus condemns the church at Pergamos more than He commends it. His condemnation centers on the biblical doctrine of separation. He says concerning the church at Pergamos in […]
