Every Christian should affirm the Nicene, Athanasian, and Chalcedonian creeds. These are not Roman Catholic creeds, they are Christian creeds that predate the Roman Catholic Church by more than 500 years and serve to define our understanding of the scripture’s teaching on the

John 17 strongly affirms Calvinistic doctrines. The High Priestly Prayer of our Lord boldly and clearly presents the following Calvinistic doctrines:
1. Sovereignty of God - John 17:2
2. Election - John 17:6
3. Particular Redemption/Limited Atonement: John 17:9
4. Perseverance of
I tuned in to both of these episodes because I was promised exegesis. There has been none. I did hear what sounds a lot like Mid-Acts Dispensationalsim with the talk of a transitional period between the Old and New Covenant. I heard lots of category errors, special pleading,
I just listened to a popular “evangelist” “preach” at a youth camp meeting. He read a prepositional phrase from Lamentations 3:27, “It is good for a man”. That’s it. He didn’t even finish the verse. He then proceeded to preach on masculinity. He didn’t deal with the verse in

If your pastor preaches about how the eclipse points to the rapture, just know there are faithful expositors out there who will start with the text and stay in the text. Find one. It will change your life.

It’s not the age of the individual. It’s the mental acuity to do one’s job effectively that matters. MacArthur has that; Biden not so much.

Before Jesus said, “follow me” in Mark 1:17, He said, “repent and believe the Gospel” in Mark 1:15. Stanley has forsaken righteousness for relevance.

Would you be willing to clarify your question? The Son is consubstantial with the Father. He is truly God and truly man. I believe as Calvin that the Son is “autotheos”. The Father is God and the Son is God, but the Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Father. They are
King James Onlyists are like Who’s Line is it Anyway, where everything is made up and the points don’t really matter.
@kjvchurches
could never defend this position on the LXX in a public debate.
Maybe because the Septuagint is an obvious post-Christian forgery and was never accepted by the true churches…just like Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, and Vaticanus.
@ArdorNew
You are right that no Christian creed predates the Church that formulated it. They were formulated by the Church catholic (universal), and not by the Roman Catholic Church because it didn’t exist yet. There was one Church governed by a Pentrarchy of which the Bishop at Rome was
The world is burning right now and Christians are eating their own. We can have disagreements. We can and should discuss theology. We should defend our positions. But we must do so with grace. Remember who you are and whose you are.

I totally agree. Thank you for agreeing with me and not saying, "Roman Catholic Church" since there was no Roman Catholic Church before The Great Schism of 1054 and papal supremacy was never fully accepted by Eastern churches.
An IFB pastor accused me tonight of abandoning the fundamentals of the faith. He hasn’t stated what fundamental I have abandoned, but the KJV and Baptist Successionism are not fundamentals. In these 30 years, I have only grown more conservative. I’m curious what fundamental I
@KDauksch
Unfortunately, this is an issue that must be addressed because we have entire movements that have made a particular English translation a dividing issue and even a salvation issue. This unbiblical, ahistorical, and divisive teaching within the body of Christ must be dealt with.
@PastorShiflett
This is not heresy. The last line clearly explains his position. “We are not saved by his bleeding or by his blood as a fluid, but by his death.” The context is quite clear. He makes it clear that the blood alone is insufficient without the death of Christ. Context is king. It is
Please pray for me as we begin a new month. My schedule is full for the month of October. I am humbled and grateful that our Master would allow someone who once cursed His name to feed His sheep from His word. Pray for our direction. My desire to pastor again has not diminished.
This is a solid take on the situation. As I listened to it, my mind screamed category error several times. And there is no Jezebel Spirit in scripture. A disqualified pastor butchered scripture. The whole thing was a train wreck.
@pastorb_ifb
I place so great a value on it that we need to know what is man’s word versus what is truly God’s word. That’s why studying these variants matters. Discrediting other versions makes me wonder what value you place on God’s precious words. It goes both ways. Define inerrancy please
Please pray for me as I preach on propitiation tomorrow. My title is, "His Life For Mine" from Romans 3:21-26. I know it is resurrection Sunday, but people need to know why the One who raised from the dead died in the first place.

I remember being 16 years old and looking towards the heavens and screaming to God that I hated him. Now I look up tonight and all I can utter is, “Wow!”

Every single person who claims this as their own needs to be willing to denounce you as a false prophet when 10 AM comes and goes and your prophecy fails.
Brother Lawson sinned of his own choosing and without compulsion. This is in the same way that Herod, Pilate, Romans, and Jews crucified our Lord of their own choosing and without compulsion. But it was ultimately ordained by God who is neither the author of sin nor complicit in

I’m not trying to be mean. I’m not forming my opinion from a dispensational eschatology. There have been many Reformed theologians that absolutely rejected these antisemitic views and had a very different interpretation of Romans 11 while boldly affirming Covenantal Theology.
@JasonTaynor
I’m not sure why you would ask such a question, but I will happily answer it. The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Adam was created perfect in the image of God, but chose to sin of his own volition and without compulsion, thus dooming mankind to a limited

This is not exegesis. This is not exposition. This is not topical preaching. This is not Biblical preaching. This is not even allegorical. I don’t know that I would even call it eisegesis. This is metaphorical application based on a parody of the text. I said what I said.

This reveals a serious issue with Steve Lawson. According to Calvinism, does his five years of sinful behavior with another woman suggest he was never truly saved? And if so, can an unsaved person effectively teach Calvinism?

My dear Sir, that is not a 1611. It is most likely a 1769. There are major differences. It is not a manuscript. A manuscript is written by hand rather than typed or printed. It is an English translation. It is pefectly put together, preserved, and infallible in the autographs.

We must hold the FBI accountable for targeting Christians. Read:
This is what I was raised on. They call it “preach’n”, but it’s not preaching the word (2 Timothy 4:2). Tony Hutson’s god is “old time religion” or put simply, “tradition”. Thank God for real Bible preachers who will exposit the word of God.

History matters. Pelagianism is a Christian heresy that was taught by Pelagius and his followers in the 5th century. It rejects the doctrine of original sin, and emphasizes the goodness of human nature and the freedom of the human will.
“Simul Justus et Peccator”is a Latin phrase used by Martin Luther that means that in one sense we are sinners, but by imputation, we are just. On the basis of what I have done, I am a sinner. But on the basis of what Christ has done, I have been justified. Praise the Lord!
