Should We Love Eternal Hell? Calling Out Fruitcake Body of Christ Love
Is It Unloving to Call Out the Doctrine of Eternal Hell? One of the most common criticisms I receive is this: “Even if you believe eternal hell is false, shouldn’t you stop criticizing Christians who believe it? Shouldn’t you just love them, pray for them, and remember we’re all one body in Christ?” At first,…

God’s Entire Plan and It’s Intricate Details
The Transition They Keep Missing The common thread running through both the Acts 28 position and the “Jews Only” position is that they see where God’s plan began, but they fail to see the point at which God intentionally opened that plan to all who believe. They recognize that God chose Israel. They recognize that God gave Israel the Law. They…

You Cannot Have the Icing Without the Cake (Acts 28 and Jews Only)
You Cannot Have the Icing Without the Cake One of the greatest inconsistencies in the Acts 28 position is that it teaches believers today should read and apply Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon, while claiming that Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, and Thessalonians do not directly apply to the Body of Christ…

Don’t Let Anyone Complicate Christ’s Simplicity and Power
Paul’s Letters You said that just because we’re still dealing with sin and death today isn’t enough to conclude Paul’s letters are addressed to us. You suggested there must be some other reason besides the fact that Paul’s message fits our situation. I don’t see how that follows. Paul’s letters explain humanity’s greatest problem—sin and…

Is Faith Enough? Or Must You First Become a Jew
Is Faith Enough? Or Must You First Become a Jew? One of the most serious errors being promoted today is the claim that the promises Paul describes are not actually given to everyone who possesses the faith God gives, but only to those who are Jewish. Whether stated directly or indirectly, this teaching overturns the…

How Does Paul Define a ‘Weak Believer?’
Who Has the Weaker Faith? One of the most misunderstood expressions in Paul’s letters is “the weak brother.” Many assume a weak believer is someone who sins more than others or lacks moral character. But when Paul actually defines weakness, he describes something very different. The weak believer is not weak because he commits more…

The Motivation Problem Christianity Never Solves
Fear, Law, and the Motivation of Grace One of the greatest differences between religion and the gospel of grace is motivation. Why does a person obey God? Why does he love others? Why does he forgive, serve, give, and sacrifice? Most Christians would answer, “Because we love God.” But if we are honest, many religious…

The Wisest Man in History Demolishes: Free Will, Immortality of the Soul, and All Human Pride
Ecclesiastes: Solomon’s Testimony Against Free Will, the Immortality of the Soul, and Human Pride Ecclesiastes is one of the most overlooked books in Scripture. It was written by Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. God gave him wisdom beyond all others, along with unimaginable wealth, power, pleasure, and opportunity. If anyone could discover lasting…

THE GREAT DISCLOSURE: WHEN “CHRISTIANITY” BECAME THE FINAL DECEPTION
THE GREAT DISCLOSURE: WHEN “CHRISTIANITY” BECAME THE FINAL DECEPTION Why wouldn’t Satan have a fake Jesus is his back pocket? And what would that Jesus look like, act like, be? If Satan is the great deceiver, why would we assume he has no counterfeit Jesus prepared for the world? Scripture does not warn primarily about…

What’s in Common? Antichrist, Another Jesus, False Christ, Mixed Gospel, and on and on…
The Same Spirit, A Different Deception It is important to understand that many Christians today do not openly deny that Jesus came in the flesh or deny that He is the Messiah. In that sense, they are not expressing the exact form of antichrist that John directly confronted in his writings. John’s focus was centered…
