    THe Biblical Place for Penal Substitution

    You call yourself a Calvinist, but do not know much about John Calvin? That sounds like a Marxist who does not know much about Karl Marx. Or a Freudian who does not know much about Sigmund Freud. Or a Christian who does not know much about Jesus Christ. It seems like you would want to know...

    THe Biblical Place for Penal Substitution

    If you consider yourself a Calvinist, is it reasonable to shy away from examining the personality of John Calvin? Have you looked fully into the life and character of John Calvin himself? How he approved of the execution of heretics? How he requested beheading of Michael Servetus, who was...

    Biblical Errors in The Chosen

    The Chosen provides false depictions of Jesus and a distortion of the gospel. It is not a modernized perspective, it is an unbiblical perspective. The producers have “dramatized the biblical narrative” by changing the biblical narrative and adding ridiculous, sometimes sacrilegious, filler to...

    How to receive the Holy Ghost

    Have you ever noticed that the charismatic tongues speaking all sounds the same, like a variation of Aramaic? Some of it is outright gibberish or nonsense syllables. This stuff cannot be biblical speaking in tongues. I myself spoke in tongues like that for decades, but I no longer do it. The...

    Biblical Errors in The Chosen

    You and I usually agree on things, but on this topic, we are poles apart. Oh well, if you are not disturbed by the fiction and errors in The Chosen, we are all entitled to our own viewpoints!

    Is sticking to your own kind unBiblical?

    A Federated church, a blend of Presbyterian and Churches of Christ, near me is woke, no gospel, with lesbian deacons. A United Methodist church near me is woke, no gospel, woman pastor. The Fellowship Bible Church is the best church I have found so far, even though they are cessationist. I am...

    THe Biblical Place for Penal Substitution

    I am strongly opposed to Calvinism, but Penal Substitutionary Atonement seems true, as I understand it. I see PSA as applicable to Unlimited Atonement. Isaiah 53 speaks of Jesus being our substitute, as our sins were transferred to Him, so God crushed Him. He bore all our sins and sicknesses...

    Biblical Errors in The Chosen

    The dangers of The Chosen hit me hard at a local Baptist men’s group. We had to watch a season of it and when each episode was over, the guys started talking about the fictional scenes as though they were really what happened in the gospels. It was bizarre and disturbing. I was the only person...

    Theology vs. the Bible

    Every preacher I trust has made this claim. Nobody is perfect. But I exercise scrutiny and caution on Bible teachers I admire and respect. Just remember, the pastors say “Jesus spoke about hell more than He spoke about heaven”. So I restricted my research to those exact words, hell and...

    Theology vs. the Bible

    My opinion is simply that there is a danger of exalting theological systems above scripture. That’s a serious concern. Some people may like such statements as "there can be a consistency between the unchangeableness of God's decrees and the freedom of our wills; that justification by the...

    Theology vs. the Bible

    I have quoted relevant scriptures to support a biblical concept — and had allegedly Christian people cling to their unscriptural opinion, saying that I was wrong to quote those verses, that those verses were actually not relevant or I did not understand them properly. The verses were clear and...

    Is sticking to your own kind unBiblical?

    In my city, there are 220 churches, and almost none of them are ”perfectly good, doctrinally sound”. There are a total of approximately 461 religious organizations and churches in our greater metro area. The majority of churches are woke, liberal citadels of error. For me, doctrinally sound...

    Theology vs. the Bible

    I notice that to defend theology, a theologian is quoted. To me, a simple Bible verse is much better. James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. This is the danger of theology. It can replace the Word of God as the reference point for truth. I...
