I love Christmas because God kept His Word and came into our world to save sinners. "For the Word became flesh and lived among us" ~John 1:14. Jesus came to save His people from their sins ~Matthew 1:21. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son" ~John 3:16. Christmas is not...

No I don’t think it is confusing. I simply take ALL of Scripture together. The Bible says that the Word was God and also was made flesh ~John 1:1; ~John 1:14. It says that Christ existed in the form of God and then took the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men ~Philippians...

When you say theology doesn’t get you to heaven, I know what you’re reaching for but theology is just what you believe about God. Everybody has theology. The question is if it aligns with what God has actually said. You cannot believe the right Jesus and hold the wrong truth about Him. Jesus...

From Eternity to a Feed Trough The Unpolished Truth About Christ’s Birth The night Jesus Christ was born was not soft or polished. It was cold ground, rough wood, animal breath hanging in the air. God did not enter the world through marble halls or crowned doors. He came low, where dirt sticks...

Thank you for your candor here. I can see why this pains you. Scripture never asks us to “go along to get along” when doctrine or holiness are being trampled under foot. Paul told the church to mark and shun those who are given to teaching contrary to the doctrine that we have been taught...

The reason I bring this up in conversations like this is not to create dissention but to ensure that in the pursuit of peace we don’t water down what Scripture upholds as a matter of salvation. I love unity and peace as much as anyone, but I’ve never seen Scripture call us to peace at any cost...

This teaching is false and dangerous. Scripture never presents Jesus as a merely exalted human agent or a created being. It says plainly that the Word was God and became flesh ~John 1:1; ~John 1:14. It says the Son existed in the form of God before taking the form of a servant ~Philippians...

This is no longer a method dispute. What is being taught here is denying who Jesus Christ is as revealed in Scripture, and that is a salvation issue. The Bible never says Jesus was only humbled or subordinate in nature. It clearly says the Word was God and became flesh. ~John 1:1, ~John 1:14. It...

“If we don’t know the Bible, if we don’t know doctrine, if we don’t know theology, it is virtually impossible for us to identify false prophets.” – Voddie Baucham

It does not matter how many people agree with you. Truth is not decided by consensus. Scripture says, “Let God be true, but every man a liar” ~Romans 3:4. A crowd can agree and still be wrong. Agreement does not turn opinion into truth. You have not given evidence from the text itself. You have...

No. I am not playing word-trap games. Scripture is not a courtroom trick where you get to force yes or no answers while ignoring everything else God has said. Jesus shut that tactic down every time it was used because it is dishonest ~Matthew 22:46. Your questions are designed to make someone...

Christmas is good news. God kept His promise and sent His Son into the world. “Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” ~Luke 2:11. Jesus came in humility, wrapped in flesh, so we could know God and be saved. This season is worth celebrating because...

The uncomfortable truth behind the most celebrated season on earth “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” ~John 1:5 Everyone loves Christmas. The lights, the music, the generosity, the feeling that something good is in the air. For a few weeks the world slows...

You shout about childish talk, but your voice drips with accusation and contempt. Scripture calls that. “Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be” ~James 3:10. That is not zeal for truth. It is venom. Now, to your verses. None of them...

The issue is not that I’m turning God’s words into my own. The issue is that you are turning God’s words into what you want it to say. I haven’t brought in scholars, traditions, philosophies, or private systems like you have. I’ve quoted Scripture plainly and let Scripture interpret Scripture...

You do not get to police when or how I engage. This is a public forum and I will address doctrinal error when it comes up. Scripture commands us to correct when God’s words are being redefined, not sit quietly for the sake of comfort ~Titus 1:9; ~2 Timothy 4:2. Calling others “rants” is a cheap...

At this point the issue is not evidence. It is authority. You have been shown what the text actually says. From here there are only two paths. You either submit to what God has spoken, or you reshape His words to fit a framework you prefer. Scripture is clear that doing the latter is not...

Your argument is incorrect. You make Scripture fight against Scripture instead of allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture. The bible does not isolate verses. You read all of them together. Revelation 3:12 is not saying Christ is not God. It is saying He truly became man, a mediator, in real...

The bottom line. Robert Alter is not God, and translators do not have veto power over what God says about Himself. In the bible, God declares His own name in His own book, not according to the preference of an academic community. In Exodus 3:14 God says, “I AM THAT I AM,” and then He does not...

Sola Scriptura does not say we should reject translations or not read them. It says that Scripture itself, not scholars, commentaries, or translation theories, is the highest authority. Translations are tools, not judges. We use them to read the text. But we do not let the text be “judged” by...
