Tidbits#1 — “What do you know about the canon?”
Determining the canon of Scripture is not only part of the “Battle for the Bible,” it’s also a battle for the nature of our faith. Two self-attesting verses re: the authority and validity of Scripture are 2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:19-21. The issue here in this discussion series is, what is…
READ MORE →Firing Back – “What do you know about the canon?”
The good, bad, and ugly—selected comments below are from FB posts, emails, and the mega-bestselling book, The DaVinci Code: “Does it trouble you to know that those who determined what is supposed to be Scripture were not necessarily as ‘inspired’ as those who wrote it?” “Sounds really interesting John. I always wondered why…
READ MORE →What Do You Know About the Canon?
Many might respond thusly . . . “Sure, I know about the canon. The leaders of the Church got together in a council and decided which books would be in the Bible.” But this is about as far away from the truth as one can get. For the next three-four weeks here…

No longer is Jesus the earth-bound, historical Jesus of Nazareth we have come to know and love in churches around the world every week. No longer is He the sleeping babe in a manger we celebrate every Christmas, or the boy who played in Galilee, or the man they hung at Calvary, or even the…
READ MORE →The Great End-time Fiasco
A fiasco is defined as being “a complete or ridiculous failure, humiliating breakdown.” And the essence of “the great end-time fiasco” is twofold: Element #1) Things that were supposed to happen didn’t happen as New Testament expectations proved false.

Dr. Billy Graham, in an exclusive interview in Whistleblower magazine (Dec. 2013), just declared that the “Second Coming is near” and signs of the end of the age are “converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.” For the first time, oh, really?

READ MORE →Extremely Harmful?
Here is one of many responses – but arguably the most interesting – to my pre-Christmas blog titled, “Little Jesus, Meek and Mild—Not Anymore!” See if you agree or disagree with T. Edward Price’s insights (used with his permission): Extremely harmful. Christians, as a group, are the most gullible and easily misled people.…

READ MORE →Little Jesus, Meek and Mild — Not Anymore!
For many Americans and millions of others our first introductions to Jesus were little nursery rhymes learned in childhood, such as: “Little Jesus, meek and mild ? Look upon a little child.” But He’s not like this anymore! The testimony of Scripture is, Jesus has changed—in major, magnificent, and significant ways—from his…
READ MORE →Transcending the ‘Second-Coming’ Charade
It’s a strategic mistake – IMO – to pander to the charade of popular end-time views that perpetuate false doctrines and traditions of men by employing non-scriptural terms and attached unscriptural concepts. As a result, the great eschatological debate has become an entrenched stalemate. Preterist Objection (from FB post): “You can call it…
