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?

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?
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.

Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all
This often comes as a surprise when I bring it up to many members of the body of Christ, as well as to other Universalists, but no, Jesus did not preach the salvation of all humanity during His earthly ministry. That’s not to say He didn’t teach the salvation of all at a later time,… Continue reading Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all
Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place
I’ve only been a member of the ecclesia (or church) called the body of Christ for a little over 7 years as of the time I’m writing this article, but I’ve known, or at least have been acquainted with, various members of the ecclesia for decades now thanks to my time as a Christian Universalist… Continue reading Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place
Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
The reason I’m not Roman Catholic is really quite simple (although if you want the proof of my reason, it will require some homework on your part): There’s just no way to reconcile Roman Catholic doctrine with Scripture. (The same goes for Eastern Orthodox doctrine, but I’m just going to refer to Roman Catholicism throughout… Continue reading Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
The necessity of two Gospels
While it goes without saying that there are at least two Gospels (or Evangels) in Scripture (and please read this article if you aren’t aware of this fact already), some people might ask why there are two Gospels in the first place, and why Jesus didn’t preach the same Gospel during His earthly ministry that Paul later preached… Continue reading The necessity of two Gospels
Will anyone escape death?
There’s a strange doctrine being taught by certain members of the body of Christ recently which suggests that the Snatching Away is not something we should actually consider to be our blessed hope (or happy expectation, depending on your Bible translation), but rather that everyone in the body of Christ will instead definitely die, and… Continue reading Will anyone escape death?
Questions you must answer
In order to convince us Mid-Acts Dispensationalists we’re wrong about our belief that there is more than one Gospel proclaimed in Scripture, one has to be able to first answer some questions. If one can’t answer these questions, they won’t be able to convince us that we’re wrong (it’s as simple as that). First, would… Continue reading Questions you must answer
