The very fact of its existence is a form of false teaching. False Teachings in the Catechism of the Catholic Church Salvation by grace plus works – CCC teaches that justification involves both faith and works as necessary for salvation (e.g., §§1987–2029). Baptismal regeneration – CCC teaches...

Les Feldick was definitely one of the most approachable Bible teachers you could listen to. My aunt watches his show daily, and I’m very happy that she does. Because of his mid-Acts dispensationalism, he got a great deal of doctrine right, especially when it came to daily Christian living. His...

This essay is still a work in progress. I am making minor but still significant revisions. I've just replaced the text in post #2 (Part 1 of 3) with a modestly rewritten version. I'll being doing the same with the other two sections as time allows.

Well, discussing which bible teacher is "better" or "best" or whatever is a bit like discussing which quarterback is "the best" in football. Simple personal preference is no small factor. Les appeals more to an older audience, not because of his content but because of his pacing and style. I...

I'm very surprised. Practically his first claim is that his view is rationally consistent, completely glossing over the fact that it cannot possibly be because Covenant Theology is the entirely consistent logically necessary conclusion that follows from the doctrine of immutability. But then...

Laughably idiotic claim! You believe nearly everything Calvinism affirmatively teaches! Reformed theology is just reformed Augustinianism. It took out stupidly obvious errors that Roman Catholicism teaches (indulgences and the like) but kept everything that Augustine imported from Plato fully...

It isn't because we dislike him. This website was originally created by Bob Enyart's ministry and was run for years and years by a member of his congregation. Bob's teaching has all of Les' doctrinal advantages and none of his theological short comings. Quite so! I stand corrected! Les...

First Principles: Thinking Through the Doctrine of Divine Immutability and the Character of God (Part 3 of 3) The Right Lens for Interpreting Scripture If Calvinism errs by reading the doctrine of immutability into Scripture rather than deriving it from Scripture, then we must ask: What is...

First Principles: Thinking Through the Doctrine of Divine Immutability and the Character of God (Part 2 of 3) The Origin of the Doctrine of Divine Immutability We have traced the logic of Calvinism to its foundational claim: that God is immutable, not only in His moral nature, but in every...

First Principles: Thinking Through the Doctrine of Divine Immutability and the Character of God (Part 1 of 3) Introduction The doctrine of divine immutability has long been cherished by believers as a safeguard for God's perfection, reliability, and trustworthiness. It is often spoken of...

This thread is going to be primarily dedicated to a posting of a rather long winded essay I've written about how the distinctive doctrines of Calvinism are all predicated on the doctrine of immutability, about the doctrine of immutability itself, and then offers the reader a far superior, more...

Mary was as sinful as anyone else and was saved in the same way as her contemporaries.

Honesty. That's the rule. Stop reading the book all together if the simplest of grammatical tools that you've been familiar with in other forms since you were in sixth grade throws you for a loop. It's nothing more than finding the “main clause” or reducing a sentence to its kernel sentence...

None of that made any sense. There is one and only one Lamb of God. It's Jesus Christ. Never mind. If what I showed you doesn't convince you, nothing can because you don't care. Good bye. I swear I must be mentally ill. I know when I'm doing it that taking these people off ignore is nothing...

This almost entire unresponsive. To the extent it is, the single sentence responses are bereft of substance and amount to responding to what I said by merely repeating your position. Boring. As for Israel being the bride of Christ.... Isaiah 54:5 (NKJV) "For your Maker is your husband, The...

I'm going to take a crack at this. Please don't make me regret doing so... Right off the bat the errant premise presents itself. Which is it, Bladerunner, His body or His Bride? I can't be both (an analogy made by Paul not withstanding, by the way.) Israel is the Bride of Christ, we are NOT...

Not a single thing you've cited here happened after or even anywhere near the year 70AD. And, once again, Peter DID NOT refer the Jews to Paul's writings. He mentioned them but that isn't even remotely the same thing.

Insulting stupidity. I wonder how many people with brains between their ears rejected Christ because of such nonsense and are spending eternity in Hell as a result.

From the penalty of sin! From death! From eternal Hell fire! From permanent separation from God and from everyone else! Salvation could be lost under the previous dispensation and it required continued good works, including such things as Sabbath observance, tithing, giving to the poor, and...

I know you do. I was just putting it out there! (y)
