The ESV’s Use of “dot” in Matthew 5:18 Is a Faithful Translation
<p>A KJVO pastor emailed me and asked me the following: Is Matthew 5:18 in the ESV true? ‘…not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law…’ – I ask this because it’s my understanding that punctuation (dots) where not around at the time of this statement. (Be consitent bro with your ideal about […]</p>

Debate: Are the sons of God in Genesis 6 Fallen Angels?

Understanding Atonement Theories and Limited Atonement - What is Calvinism Series Part 2?
<p>Today I want to cover the importance of understanding different atonement theories and especially Penal Substitutionary Atonement as a prerequisite for comprehending the Calvinist’s understanding of Limited Atonement.

What is Calvinism? What is Calvinism Series Part 1
<p>There are two issues that really seem to boil the blood of some believers today. They are both the proverbial third-rails of theological discussions. One is King James Version Onlyism. I am certainly no stranger to that debate. The other one has to be Calvinism. While I abandoned King James Onlyism relatively recently in my […]</p>

Exposing IFB Preachers Who Teach Multiple Gospels Hyper-Dispensationalism
<p>In my last video, I began by saying that hyper dispensationalism is a false teaching that simply will not die. For a group who focuses heavily on 2 Timothy 2:15 and rightly dividing the word of truth, they just cannot do it. Rather, they have botched the text in such a way so as to […]</p>

Did Jesus Preach Salvation by Works? Refuting Multiple Gospels Hyper-Dispensationalism
<p>This is a false teaching that simply will not die. This seems, by and large, to be a product of Dispensationalism. Now, this is absolutely not the teaching of all Dispensationalists and I wish to be very clear in stating that those who hold to the idea that Jesus preached a different gospel than Paul, […]</p>

A Loving Response to Joel Webbon at Right Response Ministries
<p>I made a statement on X about the antisemitic remarks made by Joel Webbon of @RightResponseMinistries and Andrew Isker (@contramundumpodcast), his guest, on a multi-part series they are doing. I plainly stated that these videos were antisemetic. Someone responded and asked me to name one example of antisemitism in the video. I would like to […]</p>

Things You Thought You Knew About The Crusades That Are Wrong Part 2
<p>In the first video, I addressed Pope Urban II’s stated reasons for calling for the First Crusade and then demonstrated that many of his reasons were either false, greatly exaggerated, or simply actions of the Mad Caliph who had been dead for 74 years. After addressing those falsities, it still left us with the question, […]</p>

I was talking with a King James Onlyist over the weekend who stated that the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, is a post-Christian 4th Century forgery.
