FOR THE MASTER

<p>You have probably heard the term, but you may not be familiar with what it means. If you were raised in the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement or if you are familiar with the King James Only movement, then you are likely to have, at least, heard the terms Ruckmanite or Ruckmanism. But what is it [&hellip;]</p>

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

<p>Acts 8:37 is one of the favorite verses among King James Version Onlyists as an example of a modern English Version corruption or perversion. Why do King James Onlyists accuse the editors of modern versions of removing this verse? Because, modern versions are created by unsaved people who wish to take away the idea of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>1 Timothy 3:16 is a common verse that KJVO like to use to attack modern English versions. The argument is not new, but this week, the KJVO rallied behind this graphic that says, &#8220;SEE THE BIG DIFFERENCE&#8221;. The KJVO say that by using the word &#8220;He&#8221; instead of &#8220;God&#8221;, modern versions are attacking the deity [&hellip;]</p>

<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>

<p>Note: although I did not mention the person by name or give attribution to his tweet, a brother whose tweet I shared has denied any affiliation with the overlapping “circles”. Here is the tweeted correction: “Based on our private conversation, Bro Poindexter says he has never had the middle man in his pulpit and has [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Several years ago, I had a man at church tell me that Christmas trees were pagan idols and were expressly forbidden in the Bible. He used Jeremiah 10:2-4 to prove his point. How brilliant is it that God condemned the use of trees to commemorate and celebrate the first coming of Christ nearly 2,000 years [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t think I had the guts to come anywhere close to Ecclesiastes when I was 18 years old. Nathan does a great job of presenting a hard book.

<p>Brooke Foss Westcott has long been a person of controversy and is considered anathema to King James Version Onlyists. His work, along with Fenton Hort and others, in producing The New Testament in Original Greek in 1881 has placed him among the most cruelest of heretics in the eyes of King James Version Onlyists for [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This video exposes and addresses the bad IFB preaching and horrible theology of popular Independent Fundamentalist Baptists like Robert Breaker, Tony Hutson, Jack Hyles. You don&#8217;t want to miss a second of this video. You might want to sit down for this one. If you are driving, be careful. If you have a heart condition, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In this video, I want to address one particular commenter&#8217;s arguments that really summarize the vast majority of comments I have received. I have been told that I don&#8217;t believe the Bible. I am not saved. One commenter told me, &#8220;enjoy burning in hell along with all those perversions&#8221;. I have been told that the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Robert Breaker and his rabid followers teach that you cannot go to the gospels and can only use “Paul’s gospel” for salvation. What in the world are they talking about and why is their teaching so wrong? Robert Breaker is a hyper-dispensationalist that teaches that the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are under [&hellip;]</p>

<p>29 years ago today, at the age of 16, just two months after repenting and believing the gospel, I surrendered to the Lord&#8217;s will to serve him in ministry. It may sound premature or even immature to make such a commitment at only 16 and only two months after my conversion, but I cannot describe [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The word, church, is first used in Matthew 16 when Jesus tells Peter that he will build his church upon the bedrock of the identity of Christ. The word, church, comes from the Greek word, ἐκκλησία, meaning a called out assembly. THE church is the complete body of believers. A church is a local gathering [&hellip;]</p>

<p>According to Lifeway Research, The Southern Baptist Convention, America&#8217;s largest Protestant denomination, lost nearly half a million people and 416 churches in 2022. The SBC has declined by more than 1.5 million since 2018. The organization has been on a continual decline in membership since 2006 or 2007 (depending on who you ask) when their [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There are a number of words in our New Testament that refer to people who are under the authority of another. One of those words is &#8220;doulos&#8221; and has a very specific meaning and always has the same definition: slavery. It is never anything less. It represents complete servitude. While the word &#8220;doulos&#8221; appears time [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Please pray that this video has a positive impact and please pray for me to have grace and strength to handle the incoming. What is legalism?
