FOR THE MASTER

<p>Can you only learn Bible doctrine from a King James Bible? Roy Bell says so. Today, I want to look at another Roy Bell video. I have addressed him on a couple occasions. Some of you have asked me why I would waste my time on someone like Roy Bell. The guy has more than [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Let’s start with this premise, “…the Holy Spirit is not merely a “force” or “power,” but is, in fact, a person.” That phrase is common, but for the record, I took it from a great book called, “The Forgotten Trinity” by Dr. James White. The argument often follows, “but the Holy Spirit is a spirit [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This video is going to anger many of you, but for the wrong reasons. I want to talk about the ways people are misusing and abusing scripture in their support of President Trump. I don’t care what your politics are… well, actually I do. But I want you to understand that this video is not [&hellip;]</p>

<p>A commenter on my YouTube Channel asked me this question in response to my last video where I addressed the Alexandrian versus Antioch schools and the related manuscript traditions. He asked, &#8220;How do we know that Jesus said the things the gospels say he did?&#8221; What an excellent question! I am happy to answer it. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Many KJVO will tell you to consider the source. Have you ever heard this argument? Modern Bibles are based on manuscripts originating from Alexandria Egypt and are therefore bad while manuscripts originating from Antioch, Syria are good. This video addresses the genetic fallacy of this argument.

<p>It isn&#8217;t easy being a pastor&#8217;s kid and growing up in the ministry. In this video, I interview my own son and daughter and we get very plain about the good, bad, and the ugly of dealing with imperfect people &#8212; including an imperfect father. Join us for this eye opening heart to heart, no [&hellip;]</p>

<p>If you like theology and/or Church history, this video is for you. The 2024 SBC Convention Annual Meeting will be held on June 11-12 in Indianapolis. Earlier this year, I accepted the role of Pastor-Teacher at Sophia Baptist Church in Sophia, NC. Sophia Baptist Church is in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention. As [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This video continues the Horrible Hermeneutics series as we investigate numerology and how it is combined with the King James Pure Bible Search app to find mathematical patterns to support extreme King James Version Onlyism (KJVO). This video examines Truth is Christ&#8217;s YouTube Channel and one particular video The 1611th Mention of LORD (And Why [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Is man free or is man determined? This debate has raged for millennia. It is an existential question that does not begin with Calvin or Augustine. It was discussed by Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers like Leucippus, Democritus, and Heraclitus in the 5th Century BC, around the time of the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews. Stoics like [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Is God’s Foreknowledge only an attribute or is it also an action? Thomas Aquinas, Millard J. Erickson, Louis Berkhof, and Wayne Grudem all acknowledge Foreknowledge as a noun is an aspect of the broader aspect of God’s omniscience. God’s foreknowing is an action verb and the first cause of all things. πρόγνωσις (noun)prognōsis foreknowledge Lexical [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Last week, I interrupted my series on Horrible Hermeneutics, opting instead on releasing a video dealing with some horrible Christology regarding Christ’s blood. The response to that video was shocking. While many, if not most, commenters were supportive of my teaching on the subject last week, there was a very vocal minority that came to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Where are the IFB when it comes to calling out one of their own? Let&#8217;s talk about one who needs to be marked and avoided. But it isn&#8217;t John MacArthur. Some fundamentalists have decided to accuse John MacArthur of heresy regarding the blood of Christ &#8212; again. This issue was put to bed decades ago, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Today, I do want to talk about Bible Numerics or Numerology as I continue my series on horrible hermeneutics. Unfortunately, it is all too common to hear this so-called hermeneutical principle brought up among fundamentalists and especially King James Onlyists who use it to suggest the supremacy of a 17th Century Anglican translation. Let’s define [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In my last video, I began a series called Horrible Hermeneutics. After introducing the series, I addressed the Law or Principle of First Mention. In this video, I want to strengthen my argument by responding to some of the 60+ comments I have received as well as many other private messages. I won&#8217;t go over [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This video will be the first in a series on hermeneutics. In particular, as the name implies, horrible hermeneutics. A while back, I did a video that addressed the question, what good is a perfect Bible with horrible theology. But where does this horrible theology come from? It comes from horrible hermeneutics. Today, we will [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Easter brings about some odd arguments among Christians. Some Christians claim that Easter is pagan and should not be celebrated. Easter is used to describe the Biblical events regarding the death and resurrection of Christ as early as the 7th Century. Much may be said about the etymology, but history is clear that as that [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Jack McElroy has made yet another disingenuous accusation about a modern English version. This time involving Matthew 27:16. Let’s look at that verse in the NIV and also in the KJV: Matthew 27:16 (NIV)16&nbsp;At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas. Matthew 27:16 (KJV 1900)16&nbsp;And they had then a notable [&hellip;]</p>

<p>If you told me 10 years ago that I would be defending the NIV and modern English versions from attacks from King James Version Onlyists, I may have wanted to fight. But, here we are. I was asked to respond to another of Jack McElroy&#8217;s infographics from his book of absurdities. In this video, I [&hellip;]</p>

<p>According to Jack McElroy and his book, “Which Bible Would Jesus Use?”, the NIV scrubs Jesus’ omnipresence. His supposed evidence is John 3:13. Let’s look at this verse in the KJV and also in the NIV. John 3:13 (NIV)13&nbsp;No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.&nbsp; [&hellip;]</p>

<p>2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)9&nbsp;The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. If we look at this verse outside of its context, then it may easily be used to teach either Universalism, Provisionism, [&hellip;]</p>
