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 KJB (the King James Bible) — also known as the KJV (the King James Version of the Bible) and as the AV (The Authorized Version) — its accuracy compared to most other Bible versions being the main one, and if non-TR (Textus Receptus) manuscripts truly are corrupt (or… 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?

List of differences between the two biblical churches and Gospels
This list is taken from my Things that differ article. For even more proofs that there are multiple Gospels taught in the Bible, please read that article in full. This page is simply here for quick reference to the list of differences from that article. All scriptural references are based on passages from the KJV. The Israel… Continue reading List of differences between the two biblical churches and Gospels
What is a believer?
Before beginning, I should clarify that I’m referring strictly to believers within the body of Christ who believe Paul’s Gospel in this article, and not to believers within the Israel of God who instead believe and obey the Gospel of the Kingdom. If you aren’t familiar with the difference, please read this article: Salvations Over… Continue reading What is a believer?
Reading the KJV concordantly
Most English speaking members of the body of Christ who might fall under the label of “Concordant” tend to consider less literal translations of Scripture such as the KJV (the King James Version) to be extremely inaccurate, with some claiming that there are as many as 20,000 translation errors in this particular version (although I… Continue reading Reading the KJV concordantly
Why Christ died, and why He had to die
As everybody should know by now, the Good News is that “Christ died for our sins” (and, of course, He was buried and rose again the third day as well), giving himself a ransom for all, as Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:3-6, and when a ransom is fully paid, all those who are held… Continue reading Why Christ died, and why He had to die
Why do we sin and die?
Most Christians are under the impression that we die because we sin, and that our sin is entirely our fault, and many of them also somehow apply the guilt of Adam’s sin to us at the exact same time. Well, the apostle Paul actually blamed our death on that very man — Adam — rather… Continue reading Why do we sin and die?
