(Truth in the Last Days — Post 22) One of the things that has become increasingly noticeable in recent years is how many younger believers (and even older ones), even those raised in Christian homes, have a surprisingly thin grasp of basic biblical theology. It seems the biblical literacy rate has decreased exponentially. This is…
Series: Hard Questions, Holy Answers — Post 36 Understanding the Two Biblical Uses of “apostle” Questions about apostleship are not theoretical. They surface whenever someone challenges Paul’s authority, promotes modern “apostles,” or claims the church must return to a new apostolic structure. So we need clarity — not speculation — and Scripture gives it. The confusion usually comes…
(In the Word — Post 4) The Old Heresy Wearing New Clothes One of the most persistent errors in church history has returned—not openly hostile to Christ, but cloaked in Christian language. It speaks of knowing God, abiding, spiritual life now, and the kingdom within, yet quietly dismisses what the apostles insisted on: the incarnation,…
Introduction This question strikes right at the heart of the confusion surrounding baptism: What does Peter mean by “not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God” (1 Peter 3:21)? And is Jesus referring to baptism when He tells Nicodemus, “Except a man be born…
A Biblical Answer Without the Fog of Tradition Introduction Some of the most sincere believers wrestle with this question. They read verses about baptism… then verses about faith… then listen to people saying “Baptism saves!” — and they walk away confused. Let’s clear the fog. Not with man-made systems. Not with Catholic sacramental language. Not…
Introduction One of the glories of the King James Bible is its precision. Words matter. A slight change in wording can distort truth, especially when it touches the very nature of God. Modern versions often blur this precision, introducing language that suggests God “wants” something — as though He were lacking. But the true and…
When Victory Is Redefined, So Is Christ How Denying the Future Resurrection Undermines the Gospel Itself Full preterism doesn’t just change eschatology — it redefines the gospel. By making the resurrection past and spiritual only, it replaces the Christian hope with realized symbolism. But Paul tied the entire gospel message to the bodily resurrection —…
Victory Over Exile or Victory Over Death? What Paul Meant When He Mocked the Grave Full preterists claim that when Paul quotes Hosea 13:14 in 1 Corinthians 15:55, he is referring to Israel’s return from exile, not the defeat of physical death. But Paul isn’t spiritualizing the grave — he’s confronting it head-on. His hope…
Why Full Preterism Fails Paul’s Test in 1 Corinthians 15 Introduction Full preterists claim the resurrection is already fulfilled — spiritually, corporately, and covenantally — with no future bodily resurrection. But Paul warned about exactly this kind of error and tied our entire hope to a bodily resurrection like Christ’s. A Spiritual Resurrection Doesn’t Replace…
Covenant Language or Cosmic Renewal? Jeremiah 4, Revelation 21, and Why the Story Isn’t Finished Full preterists argue that “heaven and earth” in Scripture always refers to covenant structure, not the physical cosmos. And they’re partly right — sometimes. But Scripture also shows that while some heaven and earth language is covenantal, the final hope…
