Don't be afraid to go out on a limb ... That's where the fruit is. - Forester07's Blog
I wrote this several years ago now and just got around to updating it some and thought I would post it. Dispensationalism is the dominate belief for most groups that profess to be Christians. Dispensationalism is clearly a abhorrent heresy which has caused many unregenerate people to become fanatical Zionist who place the nation of Israel on a special pedestal. Defending the national of Israel has become just as important to most dispensational as the preaching of their false gospel. ...

Today, as I was walking by a group of Christians that were in my neighborhood, one man came up to me and yelled, “Jesus loves you” and shook my hand. This group was on their way to some sort of prayer meeting at a nearby house and embolden by their numbers they felt it was necessary to confront random strangers with their pseudo-evangelism statements and techniques. Given that I know the neighbor they were going to is of the Charismatic persuasion and commonly uses trickery and manipulation to convince ...

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen. Psalm 41:13 Introduction The concept that God is eternal is widely known and professed by most Christians today. However, it seems that in reality most people who claim that God is eternal do not truly understand the many implications this has on understanding Christian doctrine and practice. It is essential that we have a clear picture of the eternal God and how God in eternity works. ...

This is my rough exegesis on James 2:14-26. I am going to still work on it some and refine some of the interpretation. Your comments are welcome and I’d love constructive criticism. I know this is a very divisive issue but this my attempt to show my understanding of this passage and why I hold the view that it is an epistle of straw. If you don’t agree, that is great but the only arguments I will listen to are a sound exegesis of this passage that show my view is incorrect. I won’t listen to emotional ...

Chris from TestAllThings uses the following verse to show that adding or taking away from the 66 book protestant canon is wrong. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19) ...

Here is a brief response that I posted in the False prophets thread responding to a bad interpretation of this passage. Here are my basic thoughts on the passage . I might in the future exposit the whole thing in detail. The main emphasis in the passage should not be put on the Talents, since it is difficult from the passage as to what exactly is being talked about. All we know it is something that the Lord has given to us. The main emphasis in the passage is the faithfulness ...

I challenge all here to truly study this issue in depth. When Martin Luther posted his 99 thesis he was essentially alone in his challenge of church dogma and doctrine. I really find it strange how unwilling people are to really research these things. Where is the investigative spirit? Why do so many accept what a council of ordinary men, many who had very bad doctrines, choose their scriptures for you? Why do you allow church organizations to choose which books are scripture and which books are ...
I have been reading through the book of Ezekiel and wanted to comment a little on Chapter 34 of this book. Historically this Chapter is interpreted to be talking about Israel during the exile, which is indeed a very plausible and correct interpretation. However, as I read this chapter I kept thinking about how great a picture it is of how God works today among the elect who are scattered among the nations and how God is gathering them into His flock. When verse 11 says, "For ...
One of the main things that I plan on doing with my blog is to choose a scripture that is normally misinterpreted and exposit it as best I can. The first passage that I am going to look at is Romans 10. (Part of this is from a previous post of mine) I have seen Romans 10 used on one hand as a justification of missionary activity and on the other hand a justification for no missionary activity. The people who want to use this passage as a battle cry for missions usually take Romans ...

Brandon's recent blog entry made me think of a conversation I had with a missionary I recently met. He was telling me about a group of villages that he goes to and has been going to for years. In all the time he has been going there he lamented that no one has become a follower of Christ. I ask him what he does there and here are his words. "I go to the villages and just be friends with the people. I talk about every day things and help them out with medical needs and clothing. ...
