We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Some Educational and Edifying Articles


I have been reading some excellent articles this past couple weeks, which I think need to be promoted; they have information which I believe is necessary for Christians to know for defending the Faith.  So, here are the links:


I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.  Even with their non-scientific ideologies, they need more faith for their beliefs than a Christian ever would need.


Refuting Paul Young’s false teaching in his book, Lies We Believe About God.

Is the KJV Only position correct in maintaining that the doxology in Matthew 6:13 is original? What about John 7:52-8:11? Short answer to both: NO.

The myth of 33,000 denominations.

The Jesus of the Seventh-day Adventists is not the Jesus of the Bible.

God has something to say about the way we approach worship.

Freemasonry is indeed a religion. 9:47-minute video.

Paul was indeed married, as this article thoroughly examines.

I agree with this article when it comes to biblical reasons for divorce.

The Word of Faith teachings are heretical and spiritually dangerous.

Um...I do not think the author of the article on John 7-8 is saying that it doesn't belong in the canon. You might want to reword your link above.

I think I have it worded quite well. Follow the structure.

Is the KJV Only position correct in maintaining that the doxology in Matthew 6:13 is original? is the first question.

[Is the KJV Only position correct in maintaining that] John 7:52-8:11 [is original]? is the second question.

The answer to both is, "NO," the KJV Only position is NOT correct that both those are in the original.

Well, it seemed at leat to me that the author believed John 7:52-8:11 to still be inpired Scripture.

Glen,

Regarding the article on cussing.....interesting the author penned John Piper as the go to theologian regarding speech. Some of the most bizarre words coming out the mouth of Piper are as equally sinful as cussing. I believe we need to be quoting more of Jesus' words rather than man's words, with regards to our faith in this day and age.

Too much quoting men and women, not enough quoting Jesus, the Christ, within the 501c. 3.

Anonymous,

What the author is saying, and many scholars say, is that the story of the woman caught in adultery was not in its location in the original manuscripts.

I know you might want to hear this, but I want to express one more thing, just a personal opinion. I respectfully disagree with you, Glenn. That person does not have a clue what he/she is talking about. That person is a quack theologian. The blogger needs to be re-indoctrinated by an Independent Baptist preacher. I believe that the KJV is God's inspired Word to mankind, and will continiue to be salt and light. See ya'!

IOP,

YOU are the one who doesn't know what you're talking about. Thanks for identifying yourself as a member of the KJVO cult. That proves you have been brainwashed rather than study the issue for yourself.
