Dishonest Dan McClellan is up to his dastardly deeds again in his latest video titled, "Where did Cain’s wife come from?" In this video, Dan rejects the idea that Adam and Eve had other children that are not mentioned in the text and some of them must have been daughters and Cain married one of his sisters.

How To Deal With Negative Criticism and Slander In The Ministry
<p>Today, I want to talk about dealing with negative criticism, slander, and personal attacks as a believer.

The KJV Only IFB Have a Massive Problem With Inconsistency
<p>There is a Massive Inconsistency Problem among KJV Only Independent Fundamental Baptists (IFB). The IFB often prides itself on being separatists. They are separatists to the point that nothing is adiaphora. There don’t seem to be any secondary issues. There are no doctrines or issues where there isn’t a hard line of separation. In the […]</p>

Has the Bible Been Changed? Refuting Dan McClellan
<p>Dan McClellan @maklelan says, “The Bible has been changed and that’s just not up for serious debate.” This claim is patently false. In this video, Dan McClellan is going to empty red Herrings, appeal to authority, and false dilemma as he speaks of technicalities and misrepresents or conflates facts. That’s a strong accusation on my […]</p>

1 John 2:2, Handling Objections to Calvinism
<p>1 John 2:2 (LSB): and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. An Arminian brother and friend made the statement on X back before Christmas that 1 John 2:2 is the single verse that destroys Limited Atonement single-handedly. I argue that […]</p>

However, this is not the Calvinism killer that some would want to believe. Quite the contrary. The “in him” in no way invalidates the […]</p>
