Well, here you have it, folks. Word of Faith preacher Kenneth Copeland claims that he has destroyed Covid19. This is why I cannot take charismatic/Pentecostal/Word of Faith people seriously. These groups co-mingle, so please don't take me to task for generalizing. And, if you do take me to...

Here's an example of a charismatic person's speaking in tongues. Notice that she believes God gives parking places closer to the storefront as signs of divine favor. No, I think I park closer to the storefront because I have a handicap permit following a severe auto accident..and I'm really...

I really wish I could remember every input so that I could speak intelligently on how God led me through my life. I am positive that many of us don't give proper credit to those in our past who led us to Christ, even through subtle words. For example, at age 22 or so, I started feeling...

Again, you are a dispensationalist, and your interpretation of this Scripture is dispensational. Notice, folks, that he is claiming that the New Covenant doesn't apply to the Church. In fact, even most dispensationalists today don't believe that. I totally reject dispensationalism for this...

Additionally, the concept of union with Christ affects the teaching of limited atonement. It is only those who are joined to Christ that participate in his death and resurrection. Unbelievers are never joined to Christ. I doubt half of free-willers even understand the concept of union with...

The point is that Gentiles were not included in the commonwealth of Israel as a general rule. They were WITHOUT HOPE. Gentiles are included in the people of God by being united with Christ, and accounted as sons of Abraham as a result of this. By the way, this brings up the subject of the Day...

Really? How do you read Ephesians 2:11ff then, which suggests that the Gentiles were NOT included in the commonwealth of Israel, and were without hope? It is true that a few Gentiles joined the commonwealth, but even then they were very limited..for instance, a foreigner could not own land...

Well, I will totally agree with this post :D For once.

By the way, I think our idolatrous hearts are part of the interpretative grid that we form when reading Scripture...this idolatrous heart doesn't need any help, but often it is supported by, and affirmed by, teachers in the Church or cultic teachers. A typical thought of the idolatrous heart is...

It's funny how we would be on opposite sides yet I would say the same thing. I understood predestination from simply reading the Bible as a young person. My mother was a member of the Judaizer cult I mentioned. My father was never a believer of any type, and didn't talk much about spiritual...

I find myself amused by various Christians who claim that God speaks to them, and they hear from him, closer than anyone else. Often, they deny that any other person has had any effect on their understanding of Christianity. They will claim that they learned everything they know from the...

Those who claim they got their understanding strictly from the Bible and not through other teachings are naive. They won't tell you about the church they were brought up in, or the books they've read, etcetera. They want you to think they are the infallible interpreter of Scripture, because...

RESPONSE TO VERSES INDICATING THAT CHRIST DIED FOR ALL MEN OR THE WORLD Free-willers claim verses indicating Christ died for “all men” and his death saving “the world” as proof that limited atonement is incorrect. Such verses would include John 1:9, 29, 3:16-17, 4:42, Romans 5:18, 2...

The non-elect, who are called the children of Satan, are destined to eternal punishment Romans 9:19-24 19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you...

Through being united with Him, the elect experience the benefits of the atonement in time Romans 6:1-14 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized...

Jesus accomplishes redemption specifically for the elect, those individuals who have been given to him by the Father. Matthew 20:28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 26:28 28 for this is my blood of the covenant...
