There’s a very common idea that a lot of Christians, and even many members of the actual body of Christ, refer to, which is the idea that one is either “in Adam” or “in Christ.” They get this idea from the fact that there are multiple verses in the Bible which do refer to being… Continue reading Nobody is actually in Adam

If you’re waiting for the Rapture, read this before it’s too late
If you’re a Christian looking forward to the Rapture (or the Snatching Away, as members of the body of Christ generally refer to it as), I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that, contrary to what many Christians believe, the Rapture is indeed a real event, and… Continue reading If you’re waiting for the Rapture, read this before it’s too late
God actually IS the author of confusion, even though He also isn’t
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) Something you’ll often hear Christians claim in order to try to win certain arguments is that God is not the author of confusion. The problem is, while the verse that seems to… Continue reading God actually IS the author of confusion, even though He also isn’t
Was Paul a false teacher?
The idea that Paul was a false teacher trying to deceive people into following a new religion he created is one of the most ridiculous ideas ever proposed, yet there are actually a lot of people out there who make this accusation. Most people who make this claim accept that Paul was a Jewish Pharisee… Continue reading Was Paul a false teacher?
How Jesus proved that the dead are not conscious
[The following is an edited excerpt from chapter 4 of my (free) eBook on the topic of soteriology, but I wanted a quick article to prove the fact that the Bible teaches the dead are not conscious. Links to supporting references are underlined.] Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there… Continue reading How Jesus proved that the dead are not conscious
What does 2 Timothy 2:15 actually mean?
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. — 2 Timothy 2:15 We’ve all heard it quoted many times to try to guilt us into studying the Bible more. And while careful Bible study is a worthy endeavour, is that really what… Continue reading What does 2 Timothy 2:15 actually mean?
Common misrepresentations of Biblical Universalism
There are a lot of misunderstandings and misrepresentations of Biblical Universalism out there, and I’ve written about many of them before, but to make it easy for me to give you some examples (for those who might not be familiar with them, or who might not have read all my articles or books), Dave Jenkins… Continue reading Common misrepresentations of Biblical Universalism
Did God promise to preserve His words in Psalm 12:6-7?
There are many good reasons to use the KJV (the King James Version of the Bible), its accuracy compared to most other Bible versions being the main one, and if non-TR (Textus Receptus) manuscripts truly are corrupt (or even if they’re just less accurate than the TR), as many who fall under the label of KJV-Onlyist… Continue reading Did God promise to preserve His words in Psalm 12:6-7?
Life and death on the New Earth
The vast majority of Christians (at least those who believe in a literal New Heaven and New Earth), and even many members of the body of Christ, have made an assumption that there won’t be any death on the New Earth. I can’t agree with this assumption, however, because we’re told in Isaiah 65:17-25 that… Continue reading Life and death on the New Earth
Have we been grafted into Israel?
A common assertion by Christians who want us to believe that the body of Christ and the Israel of God are one and the same is that Gentile believers have been “grafted into Israel,” as well as that we are now “fellowcitizens of Israel,” based on Romans 11:1-25 and Ephesians 2:11-22. Now yes, Abraham is indeed said to be the “father” of those… Continue reading Have we been grafted into Israel?
