The god of this world has blinded their minds

A couple days ago, one of the usual suspects (referring to the street preachers I’ve interacted with here in Toronto that I’ve mentioned a few times in my articles now) replied to a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) where he rightly pointed out that salvation is based on Christ’s death for our sins,… Continue reading The god of this world has blinded their minds

If you don’t already know how I’d answer your question or objection, you aren’t qualified to be dogmatic about the topic yet

When discussing theology with someone who disagrees with me about a specific doctrine, if they ask me a question or raise an objection that I’ve already answered or responded to in my free eBook, they’re demonstrating that they haven’t actually studied the topic carefully enough to be qualified to be dogmatic about it yet. This… Continue reading If you don’t already know how I’d answer your question or objection, you aren’t qualified to be dogmatic about the topic yet

Why I only use the King James Version in my eBook

Back in 2017 I set out to write the definitive defence of all the core doctrines of those of us known as “Concordant” believers in one place. Basically, I wanted a one-stop-shop for all things “Concordant” theology, and so I wrote an eBook containing just that. Of course, I used the CLV (the Concordant Literal… Continue reading Why I only use the King James Version in my eBook

Salvation today under the Gospel of the Circumcision

With regard to the last article I published, I know many members of the body of Christ believe that one can’t be saved under the Gospel of the Circumcision today, instead believing that one can only be saved under Paul’s Gospel right now, but passages like John 3:16 and John 20:31 combined with Romans 10:9-13… Continue reading Salvation today under the Gospel of the Circumcision

Most Christians are required to do good works for salvation, but not all Christians are

I can’t give an exact number, but I’d guess that about 99% of Christians (including all the Mid-Acts Dispensationalists who do understand that there are two Gospels but who aren’t Biblical Universalists) have actually been saved under the Gospel of the Circumcision rather than the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (also known as Paul’s Gospel). Simply… Continue reading Most Christians are required to do good works for salvation, but not all Christians are

According to the Scriptures

When discussing the meaning of Paul’s Gospel, there are four words which we often don’t say much about in the discussion, but which people also often wonder about the meaning of, with those words being, “…according to the Scriptures.” The question, of course, is which passages of Scripture is Paul referring to there? Well, we… Continue reading According to the Scriptures

Why I can’t take Christians who won’t read my writings because they’re “trusting the Spirit to guide them” seriously

When I’m trying to get someone to read my eBook or one of my articles, I’ll often get a reply like this one: I have to roll my eyes when I get this sort of response because, as spiritual and biblical as it might sound at first glance, when I hear (or read) something like… Continue reading Why I can’t take Christians who won’t read my writings because they’re “trusting the Spirit to guide them” seriously

Nobody is actually in Adam

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
