Confessing Orthodox Reformed Theology
A common criticism I hear of the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, is that it’s contradicted by the parable Jesus tells of the seed and the soils. This parable supposedly teaches that men might truly believe, and yet be lost because of their choice to reject God. It’s supposedly special pleading by the... Continue Reading →
Christians have long recognized that Christ is prophesied not merely by explicit prophesies but also by type. By type I mean that certain people and events foreshadow Christ and his work. For example, Paul writes: Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,... Continue Reading →
In a previous blog post, I dealt with a Biblical argument against Pedophilia and Child Marriage. My reason for writing such an article is that I fear a coming cultural battle over the topic, as the nation and western world become more pagan, self-absorbed, and defiant of God's laws. If this is coming, as with... Continue Reading →
Psalm 69 is a messianic Psalm -- that is, the Psalm is prophetic and describes things the Messiah would undergo and do. It's fairly easy to establish this. There are multiple quotations of it in the New Testament that apply it to Christ. They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs... Continue Reading →
Recently a new documentary has dropped entitled 1946. The premise of the movie is that the word homosexual is a mistranslation of the Greek word αρσενοκοιται in 1 Corinthians 6:9. Before the Revised Standard Version of 1946, no Bible used the word homosexual. Modern Bibles, according to them, have continued using this mistranslation and it... Continue Reading →
이 제목은 다소 자극적이고 설명이 필요합니다. 분명히 마리아는 메시아를 낳을 여자로 하느님에 의해 선택되었을 때 헤아릴 수 없이 축복받았습니다. 이것은 많은 공연한 기독교인들이 그녀의 지위를 높이도록 이끌었습니다. 예를 들어 로마 가톨릭교회는 다음과 같이 말합니다. “모든 세대가 나를 행복하다 하리라”(루카 1,48). “복되신 동정 마리아에 대한 교회의 신심은 그리스도교 예배의 본질적 요소이다.”539) 성모 마리아께서는 “교회에서 특별한 공경으로... Continue Reading →
If you've been a Christian on the internet you've most certainly run into a Biblicist before (and perhaps you yourself are a Biblicist). It is often very frustrating to argue with them because they frequently don't allow theological categories (derived from scripture) to be brought in and want everything to be proven by single isolated...

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,... Continue Reading →
Muslims (and other Unitarians) frequently bring up John 17:3 as a polemic against orthodox Trinitarian Christianity. Because it has Jesus saying that the Father is the only true God, it must be denying that the Son is God they say. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and...

While Pedophilia is not yet culturally acceptable and it may even seem unthinkable that it ever would be, in America I find the trajectory we are in regarding sexual ethics to be extremely troubling. We’ve gone from an acceptance of no-fault divorce to a culture that has no issue with fornication, then to gay marriage,... Continue Reading →
