The term Hyperdispensation was not my invention. It came from those who earlier contended for the faith "once for all delivered to the saints" This (ALLEGED) 'second gospel" was not given by Jesus to the disciples but privately to Paul who then passed it on to the others. This is, at least...

I like the way you explain all aspects of the gospel comprehensibly yet with simplicity. I sometimes think of the seed of the gospel as divine DNA which when it comes to completion reproduces the nature of the Father. Having taught children with many genetic defects I am aware of the...

Paul, in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 stated faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the means unto salvation, without any mention whatsoever for the requirement for water baptism. (1) The LACK of mention of a practice or doctrine in one scripture passage does not provide positive proof of...

The Holy Spirit is the MEANS whereby we are empowered to obey: 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if BY THE SPIRIT you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are LED BY THE SPIRIT of God are sons of God.…(Romans 8:13-14)

I consider them to be saved like Old Covenant believers were saved. At that time people could draw near to God and He could fill them with the Holy Spirit. Many times the Bible recorded that the Spirit of God would fill or fall upon came upon a believer in YHWH. The NT phenomena was different...

I could not help but notice that, though you posited the existence of two DIFFERENT gospels you failed to describe just how the two gospels two alleged messages differed. I think that is important to know; especially if what is at stake is a person's salvation. Jews and Gentiles then, as now...

A. Notice that Colossians 1 says THE gospel has come unto you, as it is in all the world, Again he uses the singular form of gospel meaning that there are not more versions than that. B. In fact, he explicitly says there is ONLY ONE Gospel. Paul is saying that THE GOSPEL as in a single gospel...

The Bible never mentions TWO Gospels only ONE by which, if we believe, ANYONE can be saved. It does not even use the PLURAL form of gospel which it would if there were some another way to be saved for the Jews or Gentiles. Instead, Jesus commanded His disciples: 15to “Go into all the world and...

Even modern Calvinist teachers like James White say only infants who are chosen are saved while the rest are damned. This comports well with Calvinism who, taught that infants must be pre-selected for salvation regardless of the fact that they are incapable of spiritual insight or moral...

If a Christian decides

So without any discussing anything with me you have determined that what I need is more doctrine. Just WHICH doctrine I should believe in MORE you never say. You seem to automatically think Christians who are determined to follow Christ are somehow deficient in their understanding. Hence you...

The Princes of this world refers not to the Roman Soldiers or even the Governor over Judeas. World rulers refers to spiritual/demonic forces who were manipulating and driving the worldly rulers to kill Jesus. …11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s...

God has always warned believers to remain steadfast in their faith, leaning on God for our strength. Peter who understood very will the cost of not being prepared, to the point that, he relying on his own strength he actually denied the Lord. We have to be prepared. He did not promise that we...

The Orthodox still call the season Pascha.

Of course, everyone wants to think their ancestors live on and they invent rituals to reinforce this. Those practices are part of paganism not Christianity. Are you proposing that we should adopt these practices and rites to reach out to unbelievers. Personally I think what the Catholics did in...

The real question is not whether we individually happen to "dodge the bullet" The question is whether or not what we are doing honors God. I notice you did not take exception even when I posed the example of a child wearing the mask of a Satan who is deemed as real by Jesus and the Apostles...

Many children and adults do not know what Halloween is about either. Does that make it right for them or anyone to dress up as spirits and demons? After everyone understands that they are just playing dress-up and having fun

We do not burn incense to the Days of the Week, though and as for Planet Earth MANY people who belong to New Age Religion do pay homage to "Mother Gaia." I am not saying merely using those words is idolatry but I think we should be aware of the times we live in. When I was in the Baptist Church...

Yes the "gods" names and festivals were co-opted and used to attract the local people who had been pagan. Whether that was good P.R. or not is of no interest to me when I consider what the origin of their festivals and deities were. God already gave us festivals rooted in Biblical history and in...
