  • Dispensational Hermeneutics

    Having a proper, biblically informed hermeneutic is absolutely critical in importance when it comes to how we interpret Scripture. Sadly this vital subject is not widely taught in most churches. If you ask the average church goer what a biblical hermeneutic is they will give you a blank stare. So what does a biblical hermeneutic…

  • Problems with Roman Catholicism from a Reformed Protestant Perspective

    The Reformed Protestant tradition has long critiqued Roman Catholicism on theological, ecclesiastical, and doctrinal grounds. Rooted in the principles of the Reformation, these critiques emphasize the authority of Scripture, justification by faith alone, and the sufficiency of Christ’s work.

  • Dr. Greg Bahnsen’s Seminary Level Lectures on Presuppositional Apologetics

    The late Dr. Greg Bahnsen was a student of the father of Presuppositional Apologetics, Dr. Cornelius Van Til. Bahnsen has impacted my own apologetics methodology the most than any other apologist.

Like myself, a truly Reformed person affirms the normative principle of worship, not the overly restrictive regulative principle. Reformed have made no progress in eschatology since the 1600s.

Sadly even within the New Testament period, heresy was being introduced into the visible Church. Many new heresies arose during the 3rd to 5th centuries, particularly false teachings about…
