[The links in the following paragraph, which is an edited excerpt from chapter 7 of my eBook, aren’t necessarily written by members of the body of Christ, but the writers do seem to have a somewhat decent understanding of what it means to “rightly divide the word of truth,” so I still recommend reading them.]… Continue reading The “charismatic” spiritual gifts aren’t for the body of Christ today

Simple proof that there is more than one Gospel in the Bible
Most Christians believe that there is only one “Gospel message” in the Bible (the word “Gospel,” or “Evangel,” literally just means “a proclamation of Good News,” or ”news which is good”), and that the Gospel which Paul taught to the nations is the same one Jesus and His disciples were preaching throughout His three-year ministry… Continue reading Simple proof that there is more than one Gospel in the Bible
Why did the devil create the Christian religion?
The Christian religion was created to drive people away from God and the truth. The devil uses it to trick people into not understanding that Christ actually died and that He was entombed, as Paul’s evangel states He did and was, as well to fool people into believing they have to choose to do something in… Continue reading Why did the devil create the Christian religion?
Jesus won’t fit inside your heart
I was watching the usual suspects (aka the Toronto street preachers I’ve now written about numerous times before) again yesterday, and one of them made a statement I was surprised to hear even one of them make. He suggested that his listening audience should “ask Jesus into their hearts” in order to be saved. This unscriptural… Continue reading Jesus won’t fit inside your heart
What Christians don’t understand about unbelievers
There are three main factors that keep the majority of people (including Christians) from understanding what Scripture is actually talking about in most passages. I’m not going to get into all the details here, since I’ve done so in various other places on this site, but as a refresher, these three factors are: 1) Not… Continue reading What Christians don’t understand about unbelievers
What is the one requirement for being shown mercy?
“For God locks up all in unbelief, so that He can show mercy to all.” – Romans 11:32 Paul tells us that God locks all of us up in unbelief, meaning we fail to believe the Gospel because God made sure we would all start out as unbelievers. But why did He do this? Simply… Continue reading What is the one requirement for being shown mercy?
“Ye shall not surely die” — do you believe the lie?
The Toronto street preachers I’ve written about somewhat frequently in recent times have given me a number of excellent examples of how so many Christians completely misunderstand what Scripture says about so many topics, and death is yet another topic that most of them miss the mark on. If you listen to a “gospel” sermon… Continue reading “Ye shall not surely die” — do you believe the lie?
Concordant Believers Discord
Just a quick note to say, if you’re a member of the body of Christ and are interested in chatting with other members, we’ve just set up a new Discord server for this very purpose. Even if you’re not a “Concordant” type of believer, you’re welcome to come check it out if you’re curious about… Continue reading Concordant Believers Discord
Does God double-charge?
I was listening to the Toronto street preachers again yesterday afternoon, and as usual their messages would often get dangerously close to the truth right before they’d once again swerve and miss the mark entirely when it comes to what Scripture actually teaches about heaven, “hell,” sin, and salvation, but there’s one assertion in particular that I… Continue reading Does God double-charge?
That’s just too easy
“So you’re saying I can be saved without having to do anything myself?” the bystander asked the street preacher. “There isn’t anything we have to contribute to our salvation? We don’t even have to choose to be baptized in water and we can still be saved?” “That’s right,” the street preacher replied. “As He died… Continue reading That’s just too easy
