I find your lack of faith disturbing...

I am preparing a long detailed response to Monty Colier's slander of me on youtube. His video has been transcribed, and I will deal with this once and for all. If you search "Brandan Kraft" on the internet, his video is the first hit.

Here is the transcription of Monty's video:

Brandan Kraft also known on the internet as "Darth Gill" manages the following websites: 5solas.org pristinegrace.org and predestinarian.net

The first thing you need to know about Brandan Kraft is that he complete rejects Sola Scriptura.

Kraft does not begin with nor believe in the 66 books of the protestant bible.

For example, he openly claims that the book of james is not inspired, not authoritative and not part of the bible.

In fact, brandan kraft claims that any writing that does not contain the gospel within it cannot possibly be inspired by God.

As a result, the book of Esther and other books which make up the protestant bible are outright rejected by Brandan Kraft.

Kraft asserts this strange position on the 5solas.org homepage when he writes, "This website is deigned to serve as a learning center for all those who believe that inspired scripture alone as judged by the Gospel is the standard for doctrine and practice."

The next thing you need to know about Brandan Kraft, at least in my opinion, is that he is a hyper dispensatialist.

This means that he believes only the pauline epistles contain the gospel for us who are living today. Kraft believes that only paul teaches justification by faith alone and that Jesus for example even taught a gospel of justification by faith in works. This of course means that their official position, that of the 5solas.org, their group, their official position by deduction is that only the pauline epistles are the inspired authoritative word of God. This is blasphemy.


I have already stated that his official position on the book of james is that it is not inspired.

Brandan kraft openly admits that the roman catholic interpretation of this book is correct. Strange as this is, Kraft still claims on certain webpages to be protestant and reformed. Especially concerning holy scripture. Kraft does this for example on his 5solas.org homepage. On that homepage, the claim is made that he subscribes to the Gospel Standard Articles. A confession that clearly asserts the protestant bible with all 66 books is in fact the inspired authoritative word of God.

In article 8 of the Gospel Standard Articles, the confession cites James chapter 1 verse 18 as inspired authoritative proof of sovereign grace. It states that God's work of regeneration is not an act of man's free will and natural power, but that it springs from the operation of the mighty efficacious and invivincible grace of God. Gospel Standard Articles, article 8.

This categorically contradicts Brandan Kraft's claim that the book of James is not the inspired authoritative word of God. But it seems that Kraft cares little for consistency.

Brandan Kraft and his hyper-dispensational group also list the 1729 Goat Yard declaration of faith as something they hold to. But this confession was authored by reformed baptist John Gill who professed the 66 books of the protestant bible to be the inspired authoritative word of God.

Kraft and his gang deceptively list and provide pictures of a group of calvinistic theologians whom the falsely claim to follow. These theologians whom they claim to agree with, first, Dr. Gordon H. Clark. Clark was a Presbyterian who strictly held to the Westminster standards. So he would never reject the book of James. And he clearly states time and time again that the 66 books of the protestant bible is the only axiom of Christianity. So they have no right to pretend they follow Dr. Gordon H. Clark.

The second person whom they would like people to think that they follow is John Gill. John Gill was a Calvinistic Baptist who also held to the 66 books of the protestant bible. Not only does Gill cite James authoritatively throughout his many many writings, He even wrote a commentary on the entire book.

Third person whom they would like people to think that they follow is Herman Hoeksema. Hoeksema was a Dutch Calvinist who strictly held to the Belgic Confession of Faith and that confession lists the book of James as the inspired authoritative word of God. Hoeksema held that sola scriptura was the belief that the word of God was the 66 books of the Protestant Bible and NOT the Pauline epistles only.

The fourth person they would like people to think that they follow was Gilbert Beebe. Beebe was a primitive baptist who also held to the 66 books of the protestant bible and who cites them often in his many editorials you can still get today.

These men that Kraft and his gang claim to follow would not only reject Kraft's blasphemous beliefs on Scripture, but they would condemn him as a heretic.

Brandan Kraft's conclusion that the book of James is not the inspired word of God is based on Nicholas Laurienzo's small little essay titled, "James Exposed." This essay claims that the book of James is best understood from the Roman Catholic interpretation.

In order to defend his ludicrous position, Kraft must reject and he does reject all Calvinistic interpretations of the book of James in favor of the Roman Catholic position. Notice how Brandan Kraft first bows the knee to the Roman Catholic Church before denying God's word. This is not a coincidenc, but a pattern for heretics.
