FOR THE MASTER

Responding to Boykin's article titled, "When Faith Hijacks Politics: Are We Losing the Republic We Were Meant to Be?".

<p>Since the start of the Israel-Iran conflict that began on June 13 as Israel launched a preemptive strike on dozens of sites in Iran including nuclear facilities, a heavy water nuclear reactor, top Iranian nuclear scientists, and top brass in the IRGC or Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; there has been nonstop discussion about the modern [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Today, I want to talk about dealing with negative criticism, slander, and personal attacks as a believer. This is not an issue that is limited to people in ministry or controversial pot-stirring pastors on YouTube and social media. Many of us deal with attacks from outside and even inside our own camps. Let&#8217;s talk about [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Dan McClellan &nbsp;@maklelan&nbsp; says, &#8220;The Bible has been changed and that&#8217;s just not up for serious debate.&#8221; 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 [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Two Sundays ago, I preached on the Importance of a Pro-Life Ethic as part of my Why Theology Matters series that I have been doing at Sophia since the start of 2025. No sooner did I preach this message that someone sent me Andrew Sluder’s message on Predestination from March 6 of this year. I’ll [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Have you ever heard of the &#8220;את Cepher&#8221;? If not, then let me be the first to introduce you to what I consider a massive mess masquerading as a Bible &#8212; even though the publishers nonsensically don&#8217;t call it a Bible. I&#8217;ll tell you why a little later. Before we get started, I want to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In this video, Nathan and I take a look at the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 and choose individuals in scripture that best represent each attribute. Let us know in the comments if you like this discussion. If you wish, click the link below and let us know who you would have chosen [&hellip;]</p>

<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 [&hellip;]</p>

<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, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I am sincerely asking for Independent Fundamentalist Baptist King James Onlyists to join me and help me address some severe false doctrines that are rampant among IFB KJVO.

<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 [&hellip;]</p>

<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>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>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>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> @maklelan  states that he is going to argue that this statement is wrong on three grounds. First, he is going to argue that the Bible never refers to the Bible because the canon wasn’t closed. He is going to base part of this argument on New Testament references to non-canonical books. He also asserts that [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Do modern versions corrupt the scripture by not using &#8220;study&#8221; in 2 TImothy 2:15? Here are the cold hard facts without commentary. Let the reader decide. Version Comparisons 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. LSB Be [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Church Discipline is rare in many churches. Disciplining elders, pastors, and bishops is even rarer. But, it is absolutely necessary.

<p>I am part of a Facebook Group that discusses Textual Criticism, particularly that of the New Testament. There was a little bit of a dust-up yesterday when&#8230; I had better not say King James Onlyist, but I really think he is. But just to be on the safe side, I will say he is a [&hellip;]</p>
