Introduction I’ve read many commentaries on the “sin that leads to death” (1 John 1:16), and there are different opinions about what this sin is. However, I don’t believe it’s as great a mystery as some seem to suggest. Furthermore, I don’t believe the Apostle John intended it to be a mystery. That should be obvious. Otherwise, his […]
Introduction I have been on both sides of the election debate. I have studied and written extensively in support of each position. I know both sides very well. I understand why each side believes the way they do. I know all the arguments on both sides. I removed around 25 studies from this […]

I’m also not a Greek or Hebrew scholar. Therefore, I can’t approach this subject from that perspective. However, I’ve done […]
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 IS […]
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.
