<p>Responding to questions about Minuscule 2050. Several people have asked me about Minuscule 2050. It is a 12th Century manuscript that does, in fact, omit “ὁ θεός” at Revelation 1:8. However, we must be very careful here. It is not accurate to say that it omits “ὁ θεός”. It omits an entire phrase. “λέγει κύριος [&hellip;]</p>

<p>&#8220;Modern Versions Leave out the Most Crucial word denoting &#8220;Jesus Thou&#8221; Son of God. The Verse in the Modern Versions doesn&#8217;t sound Right. Like it&#8217;s Missing the Fullness of its Rendering. Like the Devil&#8217;s don&#8217;t want to make a Connection with the Son of God being Jesus in its Entirety. So many Subtle Deficiencies and [&hellip;]</p>

Someone sent me this graphic and asked that I comment on it. As you can see, there is a variant at the beginning of John 9:4...

<p>The Word of God is inspired and inerrant in the original autographs only. The Word of God has been providentially preserved through the rapid copying and spreading those copies in the original languages throughout the world. Many of those copies have been preserved in monasteries and libraries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Many of those [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In this video, I want to address one particular commenter&#8217;s arguments that really summarize the vast majority of comments I have received. I have been told that I don&#8217;t believe the Bible. I am not saved. One commenter told me, &#8220;enjoy burning in hell along with all those perversions&#8221;. I have been told that the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This weekend, I learned that the pastor at a Southern Baptist Church near my house embraces Word of Faith Movement teachers. I was blown away. I was invited to a private Facebook group ran by this pastor. This pastor had posted a mega-church pastor&#8217;s clip where he was preaching on the &#8220;spirit of Jezebel&#8221;. Many [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Robert Breaker and his rabid followers teach that you cannot go to the gospels and can only use “Paul’s gospel” for salvation. What in the world are they talking about and why is their teaching so wrong? Robert Breaker is a hyper-dispensationalist that teaches that the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are under [&hellip;]</p>

<p>29 years ago today, at the age of 16, just two months after repenting and believing the gospel, I surrendered to the Lord&#8217;s will to serve him in ministry. It may sound premature or even immature to make such a commitment at only 16 and only two months after my conversion, but I cannot describe [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The word, church, is first used in Matthew 16 when Jesus tells Peter that he will build his church upon the bedrock of the identity of Christ. The word, church, comes from the Greek word, ἐκκλησία, meaning a called out assembly. THE church is the complete body of believers. A church is a local gathering [&hellip;]</p>

<p>According to Lifeway Research, The Southern Baptist Convention, America&#8217;s largest Protestant denomination, lost nearly half a million people and 416 churches in 2022. The SBC has declined by more than 1.5 million since 2018. The organization has been on a continual decline in membership since 2006 or 2007 (depending on who you ask) when their [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There are a number of words in our New Testament that refer to people who are under the authority of another. One of those words is &#8220;doulos&#8221; and has a very specific meaning and always has the same definition: slavery. It is never anything less. It represents complete servitude. While the word &#8220;doulos&#8221; appears time [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This month, I celebrate my 45th birthday. More importantly, this month marks 29 years since Christ did a marvelous work of salvation in my life and called me into the ministry.

<p>In part one of this series, we looked at the modern experience of speaking in tongues in comparison to the Biblical definition. Today, we continue that in investigating the practice of praying in tongues. Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 20 both mention praying in the Spirit, but not tongues as a prayer language. That leaves us [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Stanley argues that the modern church needs to “unhitch from the Old Testament,” and be stripped of “old covenant leftovers” that only “slow us down, divide us up, and confuse those standing from the outside peering in.” The problem with such thinking should be clear. The Old Testament is the foundation for the New. Without [&hellip;]</p>
