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 →
If You Want Me to Use the Word Sodomite, I Will.
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 →
REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM? PART 4 (The String of Bad Arguments)
It’s time for the next installment of this ongoing series. For those who have been following it, I hope you have found it to be beneficial. For those who are new, this series has been a response to a Presbyterian brother’s own series titled Reasons for Infant Baptism. I recommend reading the previous articles (REASONS...

Jesus Rebukes Biblicism
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...

Destroying Images of Christ in the Old Testament
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 →
REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM? PART 3 (Still Searching…)
This is a continuation of two previous articles (see REASONS 1-8 and REASONS 9-16) I wrote as a response to a Presbyterian brother’s so-called “Reasons for Infant Baptism.” As with before, I will continue to provide my response and refutation to each of his points. If you have been following my articles on this subject,... Continue Reading →
The Father is the Only True God. So is the Son.
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...

1 Corinthians 7 Against Pedophilia and Child Marriage
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 →
Van Tillian Inconsistency
I want to start off by saying that I fall into the “presup” camp when it comes to apologetics. I find the position to be most consistent with Scripture (which I am not seeking to defend in this article). However, I find problems among those in the camp and even with some of Van Til’s...

Roman Catholicism: Many Fathers, No Relations
A common criticism of Roman Catholicism is that they inappropriately call their priests 'Father' in violation of Matthew 23:9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9 KJV) The typical Roman Catholic response is to say that Jesus is not denying all uses...
