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. […]
Same Sex Marriage Oddity As Not A “Secondary Issue” (Part Two)
Part One Cultural Liberalness Evangelicalism long ago separated cultural issues from doctrinal ones. You will read many today saying that they are doctrinally conservative and socially or culturally liberal. If doctrines are primary, culture became all secondary. Most evangelical churches now rely on pragmatic means for numerical church growth. Especially young people want to fit […]
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. Christian history is not replete with ranking doctrines — the opposite — but when it does separate essentials from so-called non-essentials, it never mentions same […]
D. A. Carson And What He Calls, “Lowest Common Denominator Theology”
A clip appeared on youtube under the channel, Tribute to Don Carson. Carson appeared at Liberty University in a symposium on February 20, 2012, over thirteen years ago.

Feel free to click on the links and read these two series. I’m […]
Paul Stands Against Peter and the Subject of Authority (Part Three)
Part One Part Two Authority of Scripture To obey God and His Word, one must first believe in His authority and the authority of His Word. I believe in God’s authority and the authority of His Word. True New Testament churches submit to the Bible as their final authority. God and His Word also […]
John MacArthur and Evangelical Agnosticism About or Over the Biblical Doctrine of Separation, pt. 3
Part One Part Two Answering the Question of Separation In a Q and A at Master’s Seminary, John MacArthur answered a student’s question in chapel about the practice of separation. I included the transcript of the question and answer in part one and made some overall analysis. In part two I compared MacArthur’s answer […]
John MacArthur and Evangelical Agnosticism About or Over the Biblical Doctrine of Separation
I write on ecclesiastical separation here because the Bible teaches separation in every book and in some, much more than others. Since separation is inherent in God’s attribute of holiness, I see it as a major doctrine. I also believe it is one of the marks of a true church. For this reason, several years […]
