Evidence of the Septuagint (LXX) in the Early Church Before Origen – Part 3
<p>Over the past few weeks, I have published multiple videos on the Septuagint. My first video, “Is The Septuagint a 4th Century Forgery or Myth?” was my first public work on Old Testament textual analysis. Last week, I continued that video with a follow-up. That second video addressed a question asked by a friend who […]</p>

Is The Septuagint (LXX) a 4th Century Forgery or Myth?
<p>If you like history, you will love this video. If you don’t like history, watch it anyway. You may learn something. 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. The actual comment said, “Maybe because the Septuagint […]</p>

Is the Holy Spirit a Person or Force? Trinity or Oneness? Which is Right?
<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 […]</p>

How Do We Know We Actually Have the Words of Jesus?
<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, “How do we know that Jesus said the things the gospels say he did?” What an excellent question! I am happy to answer it. […]</p>

Are Alexandrian Manuscripts Corrupt? Answering the Alexandrian vs Antioch Two Schools Argument
<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.

Is Determinism Biblical?
<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 […]</p>

On The Hypostatic Union, Christ is Truly God and Truly Man — Pleading with IFB Pastors
<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 […]</p>

John MacArthur or Jonathan McNeese, Which One Preaches Heresy About the Blood of Christ?
<p>Where are the IFB when it comes to calling out one of their own? Let’s talk about one who needs to be marked and avoided. But it isn’t John MacArthur.

Horrible Hermeneutics Numerics/Numerology
<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 […]</p>

Horrible Hermeneutics – The Law of First Mention
<p>This video will be the first in a series on hermeneutics. In particular, as the name implies, horrible hermeneutics.

Today, we will […]</p>

Responding to Dan McClellan, Does the Bible say the Bible is the inspired word of God?
<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 […]</p>

The New World Translation, What a Real Corruption of the Bible Looks Like
<p>I get multiple comments, emails, and private messages every single day telling me that all modern English versions are perversions and purposeful corruptions.
