Note: While this is a continuation of our study of the Trinity in the context of Oneness Pentecosalism, this applies to any religion that rejects the Trinity in favor of their own ideas about God—such as what we find in the false religions of Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses. WE DON’T GET TO DECIDE WHO GOD […]
All Scripture quotations are from the BSB (Berean Standard Bible) unless otherwise noted. Introduction You may or may not be familiar with Oneness Pentecostalism—primarily within the United Pentecostal Church International, led by David K. Bernard. It’s a growing non-Trinitarian religious group that calls itself Pentecostal, but they are in no way Pentecostal in the common understanding of it. They are […]
Ephesians 5:3 3 But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints. (NET) This continues our discussion from part one about the sin of “sexual immorality” among Christians. Here I want to answer the question of why committing this sin is such a serious matter for those […]
(Edited from my commentary on Ephesians) Ephesians 5:3 3 But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.; (NET) Up to this point in the book of Ephesians, Paul has been instructing us on living the Christian […]
God is sovereign, but in the election of His people – those who will be saved – God’s choosing is not in isolation of His foreknowledge or His knowledge of all things. God’s choosing does not give way to His knowledge of all things, nor does God’s knowledge of all things give way to […]
There’s a verse in Revelation that I believe reveals convincingly that there is no earthly millennial kingdom: Revelation 15:1 – And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God. Here we see that God’s wrath […]
Whenever Israel comes under attack from one of their enemies (such as is happening as I write this), you will see Christians on social media encouraging others to pray for Israel or pray for the peace of Israel. Why? Not that this isn’t a good thing. Of course it is. But why do they request prayer […]
It’s tragic that Israel didn’t see the fulfillment of their own religion when Jesus revealed Himself to them. That is why God destroyed them in AD 70 via the Roman armies. If they had recognized Jesus as their Messiah (as one people), today they would be viewed in the context of Christianity, not in the context […]
How do we live the Spirit-filled life? How do we walk by the Spirit? How do we make decisions that are in God’s will? These questions are answered in the following passages: (Ephesians 5:15-18 – NET) — 15 Therefore be very careful how you live – not as unwise but as wise, 16 taking advantage of every opportunity, because the […]
For most of my life I was an Arminian Christian. I wrote and taught Arminian theology for many years. But I was not merely an Arminian, I was passionately against Calvinism. No one wrote against Calvinism with more passion than I did. I even prayed against Calvinism. I think it would be accurate to […]
