Phoebe Was Not A Deacon - Change My Mind Several times over the last few weeks, I have been asked about Phoebe and whether or not she was a deacon in the sense of the Biblical office. And then there was one sad example where when I mentioned how powerfully God used some of the Biblical deacons in the New Testament that someone shocked me by adding, “and some of those were women”. I was immediately taken aback by the comment and I asked, do you mean Phoebe? The person nonchala

For the last while, I have been bombarded with King James Only Hyper-Dispensationalists. Seriously, I have not encountered a single one of these people who are not hardcore KJV Onlyists. In past videos, I have asked, what good is a perfect Bible with horrible theology? Why claim a perfect book when you are going to throw away everything except for 13 books in the New Testament that are authored by Paul?

Around 10 days ago, Eastern Orthodox apologist, Jay Dyer, and NIFB Pastor Jonathan Shelley had, what was called, a debate on Tradition vs Sola Scriptura on the Modern-Day Debate channel. I watched it so you don’t have to. I want to make it clear that I was wanting Shelley to do well. While he says that Jonathan Burris is a piece of scum, fake pastor that hates Jesus and hates the word of God and best thing Jonathan Burris can do is to die and go to hell, I sincerely wanted hi

On Michael Heiser’s Unseen Realm and Divine Council theory.

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.

Is Baptism required for salvation? Was it ever required for salvation? Did Jews have to be baptized in order to be saved?

<p>Join us on an eye-opening journey as Nathan Burris and I, attend the Jehovah’s Witnesses Memorial of Jesus’ Death at the Kingdom Hall near Sophia Baptist Church in Sophia, NC. In this video, we share our experience and the incredible opportunity we had to spread the true gospel of Christ after the service. Don’t miss [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Note: I am fully aware that I used different pronunciations for σῳζομένοις a few times. I&#8217;m a Southerner. I barely speak English well. You should hear me speaking French 🙂 As with last week, I am going to spend the next couple of weeks addressing some attacks by King James Version Onlyists who have decided [&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>Penal Substitutionary Atonement Defended As a Key to Understanding Calvinism and Limited Atonement &#8211; What is Calvinism Series In this third video in my series on Calvinism, I will discuss and defend the death of Christ as a penal substitutionary atonement. The premise is simple. The death of Christ is an atonement. The death of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I had the opportunity to teach debate to an ethics class made up of seniors at a local Christian school today. As part of the class, Nathan Burris and I had a condensed (50-minutes) moderated debate on “The sons of God in Genesis are angelic beings”. Nathan took the affirmative and I argued the negative. [&hellip;]</p>

<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&#8217;s understanding of Limited Atonement. In the last video in my Calvinism series, I said that most of the disagreement towards the Limited Atonement doctrine of Calvinism is rooted in differing views [&hellip;]</p>

<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 [&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>Those that follow my channel know that I didn’t put out a video last week. Nathan told me several times over the last week, but I held back on purpose. I wanted plenty of time to pray about this one before I put it out. I’m glad I did. While I was praying about this [&hellip;]</p>

<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>As we continue discussing the many reasons why the crusades should not be glorified, I want to talk about the infighting, deceptions, plans within plans, and the real goals of the leaders of the First Crusade. If you think you knew a lot about the crusades, wait until the end of this video.
