Is the Septuagint a Re-Engineered Text – LXX Discussion Part 2
<p>A dear brother and friend asked me about the responses I have been getting to my video on the Septuagint. The crux of his question is this: “While they are forced to admit that there was a Greek translation of the Old Testament available before Christ, the pushback is the LXX we have now is […]</p>

Is the Septuagint A Re-engineered Text?
<p>A dear brother and friend asked me about the responses I have been getting to my video on the Septuagint. The crux of his question is this: Here’s the issue: Many KJV Onlyists and non-KJV Onlyists who may classify themselves as TR Onlyists or TR Defenders will bring up men like David Daniels and his […]</p>

Is The Septuagint (LXX) a 4th Century Forgery or Myth?
<p>If you like history, you will love this video. If you don’t like history, watch it anyway. You may learn something. I was talking with a King James Onlyist over the weekend who stated that the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, is a post-Christian 4th Century forgery. The actual comment said, “Maybe because the Septuagint […]</p>

You Can Only Learn Bible Doctrine from a King James Bible? Responding to Ruckmanite KJVO Roy Bell
<p>Can you only learn Bible doctrine from a King James Bible? Roy Bell says so. Today, I want to look at another Roy Bell video. I have addressed him on a couple occasions. Some of you have asked me why I would waste my time on someone like Roy Bell. The guy has more than […]</p>

Is the Holy Spirit a Person or Force? Trinity or Oneness? Which is Right?
<p>Let’s start with this premise, “…the Holy Spirit is not merely a “force” or “power,” but is, in fact, a person.” That phrase is common, but for the record, I took it from a great book called, “The Forgotten Trinity” by Dr. James White. The argument often follows, “but the Holy Spirit is a spirit […]</p>

Horrible Hermeneutics – Politics Edition; Examining the Misuse of the Bible in Politics

How Do We Know We Actually Have the Words of Jesus?
<p>A commenter on my YouTube Channel asked me this question in response to my last video where I addressed the Alexandrian versus Antioch schools and the related manuscript traditions. He asked, “How do we know that Jesus said the things the gospels say he did?” What an excellent question! I am happy to answer it. […]</p>

Are Alexandrian Manuscripts Corrupt? Answering the Alexandrian vs Antioch Two Schools Argument
<p>Many KJVO will tell you to consider the source. Have you ever heard this argument? Modern Bibles are based on manuscripts originating from Alexandria Egypt and are therefore bad while manuscripts originating from Antioch, Syria are good. This video addresses the genetic fallacy of this argument.

Is Determinism Biblical?
<p>Is man free or is man determined? This debate has raged for millennia. It is an existential question that does not begin with Calvin or Augustine. It was discussed by Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers like Leucippus, Democritus, and Heraclitus in the 5th Century BC, around the time of the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews. Stoics like […]</p>

Is God’s Foreknowledge only an attribute or is it also an action?
<p>Is God’s Foreknowledge only an attribute or is it also an action? Thomas Aquinas, Millard J. Erickson, Louis Berkhof, and Wayne Grudem all acknowledge Foreknowledge as a noun is an aspect of the broader aspect of God’s omniscience. God’s foreknowing is an action verb and the first cause of all things. πρόγνωσις (noun)prognōsis foreknowledge Lexical […]</p>

On The Hypostatic Union, Christ is Truly God and Truly Man — Pleading with IFB Pastors
<p>Last week, I interrupted my series on Horrible Hermeneutics, opting instead on releasing a video dealing with some horrible Christology regarding Christ’s blood. The response to that video was shocking. While many, if not most, commenters were supportive of my teaching on the subject last week, there was a very vocal minority that came to […]</p>

John MacArthur or Jonathan McNeese, Which One Preaches Heresy About the Blood of Christ?
<p>Where are the IFB when it comes to calling out one of their own? Let’s talk about one who needs to be marked and avoided. But it isn’t John MacArthur. Some fundamentalists have decided to accuse John MacArthur of heresy regarding the blood of Christ — again. This issue was put to bed decades ago, […]</p>

Horrible Hermeneutics – Numerics/Numerology
<p>Today, I do want to talk about Bible Numerics or Numerology as I continue my series on horrible hermeneutics. Unfortunately, it is all too common to hear this so-called hermeneutical principle brought up among fundamentalists and especially King James Onlyists who use it to suggest the supremacy of a 17th Century Anglican translation. Let’s define […]</p>

Horrible Hermeneutics – The Law of First Mention
<p>This video will be the first in a series on hermeneutics. In particular, as the name implies, horrible hermeneutics. A while back, I did a video that addressed the question, what good is a perfect Bible with horrible theology. But where does this horrible theology come from? It comes from horrible hermeneutics. Today, we will […]</p>

Easter is Not Pagan, But Acts 12:4 Should Read "Passover" and not "Easter"
<p>Easter brings about some odd arguments among Christians. Some Christians claim that Easter is pagan and should not be celebrated. Easter is used to describe the Biblical events regarding the death and resurrection of Christ as early as the 7th Century. Much may be said about the etymology, but history is clear that as that […]</p>

In Response to Jack McElroy’s, “NIV Gives Your Saviour’s Name to Barabbas”
<p>Jack McElroy has made yet another disingenuous accusation about a modern English version. This time involving Matthew 27:16. Let’s look at that verse in the NIV and also in the KJV: Matthew 27:16 (NIV)16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas. Matthew 27:16 (KJV 1900)16 And they had then a notable […]</p>
