The definitions provided in the Complete Word Study Dictionary by Spiros Zodhiates are merely the personal opinions of Spiros Zodhiates, but unlike James Strong, Zodhiates lacked the solid Biblical education that Strong had. One needs to be aware, however, that all of the Bible study aids that...

This post is ridiculously irresponsible because the definitions given in it are the personal opinions of Dr. James Strong who wrote the definitions 20 years before the first useful Greek lexicon (Erwin Preuschen’s Griechisch-Deutsches Taschenwörterbuch Zum Neuen Testament) was published in 1910...

The water baptism recorded in Matthew 3:16 and Mark 1:9-10 took place in the Jordan River. For the water baptism recorded in Acts 8:36-39, please see the technical but evangelical 4,608-page commentary on Acts by Craig S. Keener published in 2015. As for John 3:23, the place name “Aenon” is from...

I wrote, “By comparison, the mode of baptism and the meaning of the Greek word βαπτίζω are insignificant.” Where in the Bible do you find anyone being submerged in a baptismal tank or in any other body of standing water? The practice of pouring or sprinkling has saved millions of...

The relevance of Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:21 to salvation is so very clear that for the first 1,500 years of the church there was no dispute as to their proper interpretation. For the very large majority of Christian denominations that relevance is still very clear. By comparison, the mode of...

No, that is not it! Being a conservative evangelical Christian, I believe in the truth of the Nicene Creed, which reads in part, I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God...

I have no idea from where you got your definition of the word “inerrant” but it is most certainly an errant definition. Merriam Webster and Oxford dictionaries are very clear in the meaning of the word “inerrant.” It means, “Free from error.” Moreover, the words error and sin are NOT synonyms...

Freewill Baptists and Arminian Baptists may benefit from H. Orton Wiley’s Christian Theology published from 1940-1943 in three volumes (approximately 1,500 pages) by Beacon Hill Press. This classic has been translated into numerous languages and has been continuously in print in a hard cover...

Back to systematic theologies. I am surprised to see several or more Presbyterian and/or Reformed systematic theologies mentioned but no mention of the 8-volume dispensationalist Systematic Theology by Lewis Sperry Chafer, President and Professor of Systematic Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary.

Back in the old days of the Baptist Board, I had a good friend who was not only fluent in Hebrew and Greek, but he also kept up to date in biblical theology. We had some excellent conversations because we both loved God, the Bible, and experiencing the Holy Spirit ministering in and through our...

“Those hillbillies,” as you so disrespectfully call them in your post, are precious saints of God in whom the fruits of the Spirit are gloriously manifested in their day-to-day lives and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are operational in and through their lives as they say “yes” to God and “no” to...

Indeed, some conservative evangelical Christians living in the mountainous regions of West Virginia still believe that Genesis 1-11 is an accurate, literal account of historic events.
