After having examined Jeremiah and its Old Testament context, one final argument to address is that of the supposed Greek support of the renewed covenant reading...

A common doctrine held by those that believe all Christians are still under the Mosaic covenant is that rather than there being an 'old' and a 'new' covenant—two distinct covenants for different times—there is instead a single covenant...

This has been a growing concern of mine, in particular over the past 4 years, and I've always avoided writing anything public about it, for various reasons...

How can there be an "all-loving" God, yet so much suffering in the world?

When I study Scripture, I do my best to apply some rules and follow some patterns so that I may 'correctly divide the word of truth'. Most of these are things I've picked up through life from other teachers, and although I don't believe there's any specific verses that directly affirm any of the methodologies, I still find them to be logically sound and correct.

We wrap up the letter to the Galatians with Paul's elaborations on walking in the Spirit.

We've left off (after what I hope was a sufficiently meticulous breakdown) with Paul presenting the problem at hand: Christian Jews have been (falsely) teaching the newer Christian Gentiles in Galatia that their new faith requires obedience to the Mosaic law.

We left off with Paul's mini-biography in the first half of Chapter 2, with some mention of Titus and circumcision pressure from 'false brothers'. We are now transitioning into the heart of Galatians, and the issue at hand. This will cover a lot of material, so be warned of the lengthy read!

Paul's letter to the Galatians gives us a brief glimpse into Paul's theological beginnings and deals with an issue regarding justification and its relation to our inheritance as the children of God. There are 6 chapters in total, so let's go through 'em! Part 1 will mostly cover the introductory portions of Chapter 1.

Many false teachers bend and twist Scripture every day. Here are some red flags to look out for when a teacher "preaches from the Word"...

Previously, we looked through all the New Testament for `hell`, and all associated concepts. We will now conclude the series with some final verses/arguments.

Previously, we looked through all the Old Testament for `hell`, and all associated concepts. Now, we will dig through the New Testament and do the same.

I had the chance to dig into the subject of hell deeper than I ever had previously, reassessing my position and belief to make sure that what I believe aligns with Scripture.

With a brand new baby in the house, and a slew of things floating in my head, John 3 happened to come to mind recently. I've decided to walk through it a verse by verse, with some of my own commentary.

A while back I came across an article where the writer elaborated on his distaste for the “worship” industry, and how it muddies what “true Christian worship” is for him. Putting aside some of the catholic-related portions, the authors main points felt pretty spot on. More importantly, it got me to revisit a topic that has troubled me for most of my Christian life: “what is worship”?

The importance of sound doctrine has been a continually pressing issue on my heart, and as I watch the winds that pass through the Church, and what is accepted and followed, my heart sinks and stirs in frustration.
