The Great Manuscript Heist: How Critics Silenced the Majority Text
In online debates surrounding Bible translations, a common accusation leveled against the King James Bible is that its underlying Greek text rests upon merely “a few late 16th-century manuscripts.” Critics imply that modern versions possess superior antiquity and are backed by scientific textual criticism, while portraying the KJV as an inferior translation riddled with later […]
The word of men or the word of God
Clash of worldviews 50,000 Foot Level The debate over Bible translations is rarely solved by simply trading historical facts or Greek words. Why? Because the translation issue is ultimately a collision of worldviews. Your foundational beliefs concerning the doctrine of preservation will inevitably dictate your logic regarding textual criticism, manuscript evidence, the role of modern […]
He That Is Spiritual
True spirituality is the supernatural capacity to discern truth from error. A “spiritual” man is not defined by outward performance but by the ability to identify and judge faulty worldviews, heretical philosophies, and the “wrong division” of Scripture using the Mind of Christ. The Mismeasure of a Man: Context vs. Performance In my experience, the […]
Baptism for the Dead
Context Matters #RightlyDividing #scriptureexpounded #ContextMatters Mormons teach a “Vicarious Baptism” or proxy baptism where a living “proxy” stands in for a deceased individual to fulfill a baptismal requirement, based on the belief that the dead can still receive the ordinance’s benefits. They argue that if there were no resurrection, the act of being “baptized for […]
Think Better
Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning. This is highlighted throughout numerous passages: Ephesians 4:17 Paul commands that believers “walk not as other Gentiles walk” >>> “in the vanity of their mind.” Something is wrong with their mind. The way they think. In Romans 12:2, Paul warns the believer not to be “conformed to this world” […]
Jesus: The Object of Our Faith
What are you putting your trust in? The foundational truth of biblical soteriology (the study of salvation) is that the benefits of Jesus Christ’s blood cannot be separated from the Person of Jesus Christ. The blood is not a mystical, independent substance distributed apart from the Son; rather, its saving, justifying, and reconciling power is […]
Rebellion
You call it a mistake. You think it’s just a lapse in judgment. It is actually a declaration of war. King Saul thought he could edit God’s instructions and still keep the crown. He kept the best of the sheep and called it a sacrifice. God called it something else entirely. You make the choice. […]
According to the Scriptures
The Anchor of Our Faith: Guarding the Gospel There is a growing, dangerous trend among certain theological camps to complicate the simplicity of Christ. In their zeal to appear scholarly or to mandate their own systematic passwords for salvation, they have taken aim at the very anchor of Christianity: the plain text of 1 Corinthians […]
Context Matters
GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED? We love to quote Philippians 4:19 like it’s a universal blank check, but context is everything. Paul wasn’t just dropping a Hallmark card; he was writing a thank-you note to the only church that consistently had his back. The Philippians didn’t just offer “thoughts and prayers”—they sacrificed to meet […]
