  • How to Wrongly Worship God

    Many souls are drawn to sacramental churches, such as the Roman Catholic and Orthodox. Oftentimes it is because of the smells and bells (aesthetics). These churches have complicated liturgies, fancy vestments, and there is lots of ritualism. The gospel is largely absent in these churches. They place the fallible traditions of men on the same…

  • Debating Christian Truth: Wes Huff vs. Billy Carson

    There was an online discussion about the veracity of Christianity, it took place approximately 4 weeks ago, that went viral. The debate was between a Christian historian and apologist, Wes Huff, and Billy Carson, according to wikia he is an “entrepreneur, author, music artist, TV host, producer, actor, director, and expert in Ancient Civilizations.” Wes…

  • The Gospel: Defined and Defended

    Background If you ask many people, who espouse Christ and go to church every week, just what is the gospel you will get various responses. Some will say being a “good person” is the gospel. Roman Catholics may say the gospel is that Jesus died for us and is present in a real way in…

  • Imputation & Atonement

    Our wicked sins were imputed to Christ on the Cross, and when we are regenerated by God we receive Christ’s perfect righteousness imputed to us. This righteousness is utterly alien to ourselves! It is external. We can do NOTHING to merit this perfect righteousness. This is known as double imputation which is part of the…

  • The Reformers Didn’t Go Far Enough

    The magisterial Reformers of the Protestant Reformation, men like Calvin, Luther, and Knox, were used mightily by God to restore the preeminence of Scripture and to declare every precept and doctrine taken directly from the Word of God which itself stands as the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, morality, and praxis.…

  • The Supreme & Critical Importance of Sola Scriptura

    The more I carefully and closely examine Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologies, the more problems and outright error I find. These theologies were 100% man made. Reformed theology alone is derived directly and solely from Scripture. The Roman Catholics and Orthodox are the blind leading the blind, tossing and drifting alone on the sea…

  • Ecumenism: Common Ground or Compromise of Doctrine?

    It’s no secret that the Christian visible church is fractured (the institutional Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches), yet in another sense we have unity in the true Church which is the invisible Body of Christ. It’s made up of the regenerate (God’s Elect) in all the various institutional churches and denominations. Can we achieve common…

  • A Critical Examination of Sacramental Theology: Another Gospel?

    The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches both have 7 sacraments, they are roughly the same. The 7 Sacraments celebrated in the Catholic Church are Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance and Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. Contemporary Orthodox catechisms and textbooks all affirm that the church recognizes seven mystēria (“sacraments”): baptism, chrismation, Communion, holy…

  • Union With Christ: On the Errors of Infant Baptism & Baptismal Regeneration

    Baptism Deconstructed I think many Christians, who fall prey to the theological errors of infant baptism (paedobaptism), and the concept of so-called covenant children, are confused about what the covenant is for believers, and how one enters it. The covenant sign of the new covenant is spiritual circumcision of the heart (as opposed to the…
