“Holes the size of football fields”

12/12/2007 – 4:39 pm

From Transformed by Truth, an out-of-print booklet by somebody who helped shepherd the Worldwide Church of God out of their cult beliefs:
When you start carefully reading Anglo-Israelite literature, you begin to notice how it generally depends on folklore, legends, quasi-historical genealogies, and dubious etymologies. None of these sources proves an Israelite origin for the peoples [...]

No shortage yet

10/25/2007 – 12:24 pm

On a conservative LCMS website:
By 2005, Premillennialists will be as scarce as hens teeth. Their emotional, revival-driven, cultish worship will fade into oblivion with them. They will disappear like the Pilgrims after Christ didn’t return in 1666.
(I think he mostly means dispensational premillennialists, but I don’t wish to put words in his mouth.)
Unfortunately, this prophecy [...]

Meltdowns

To those who think that all organized churches are apostate

5/21/2007 – 11:13 am

There may still be readers here who don’t attend church because they are certain that all churches are apostate.
You may be interested in the next debate over at Centuri0n’s debate blog.
Update: apparently it isn’t going to happen. But Frank is blogging about it nonetheless, good stuff.

For the record

I don’t care what your Reformed bona-fides are. If you claim to be Reformed, yet send me email to explain to me that Constantine manipulated the Nicene Council to inaugurate Christmas, or you send me anything that links favorably to either The Two Babylons or the retracted tract Babylon Mystery Religion, I will unsubscribe [...]

Ti voglio servire, O Signore

10/27/2006 – 8:00 am

On Wednesday evening, the church I attend had the distinct pleasure of welcoming (again) Pastor Andrea Ferrari to hear news from the beautiful land of Italy.
I’d like to share some of what we heard from this kind-hearted, strong and passionate Christian pioneer. And thus to hopefully invite your prayers and supplications to the Lord [...]

Quit while you’re ahead

10/2/2006 – 9:24 am

Phil Johnson credits Jack Van Impe with presenting him his first clear explanation of the cross and the atonement.
I’ve gotten the impression from others that he (JVI, that is) used to be much more clearly focused on the gospel as a preacher. And of course in the past he didn’t compromise with Rome. [...]
