OUR MYSTERIOUS GOD - Much of our theology as evangelicals is a direct violation of passages like Deuteronomy 29:29, failing to take into account that God has not chosen to reveal everything nor should we expect to be able to explain everything! This paper uses Scripture to demonstrate that our God is beyond the finite minds of men. Along the way, this doctrine is shown to have practical application in many areas.

GOD - INCORPOREAL & INVISIBLE - This article examines the Biblical teaching that "God is (a) Spirit," a doctrine considered part and parcel of orthodoxy throughout Church history. Incorporates refutation of those teaching that God "has a body" (Mormons, Finis J. Dake, and others).

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO TRINITARIAN FAITH - Guest Mark McNeil offers a compelling introduction to the pillar of orthodox Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity. This article differs from others in that Mark carefully explores philosophical, interpretive, and practical aspects of the doctrine.

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD ALMIGHTY - An exhaustive compilation demonstrating that Christ is truly GOD "manifest in the flesh," proven by numerous passages of Scripture.

"THE ANGEL OF YHWH": THE PREEXISTENT WORD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT - If the Living Word preexisted His Incarnation in the Person of Jesus Christ, can He be seen in the pages of the OT? My answer is YES! Here I examine carefully the OT ministry of "the Angel of YHWH" - a messenger bearing the Name of God Himself.

KEY CHRISTOLOGICAL PASSAGES #1: JOB 19:25-27 - A detailed examination of this strong proof for Christ's Deity.

"LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM" - In my article Jesus Christ is God Almighty, I set forth the fact that Christ was worshipped as proof of His Deity. Yet some sects - Socinians and Jehovah's Witnesses among them - flatly deny this by appealing to the original languages of Scripture. Here I answer such erroneous arguments.

A DEFENSE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - The Holy Spirit is represented in Scripture as both a personal Being, and as God Himself. This article is my attempt at a detailed demonstration of this fact. Includes refutation of sects teaching an "impersonal" Spirit.

ORIGINAL SIN - This article has a threefold task: (1) define the orthodox doctrine; (2) demonstrate its truth from Scripture, history, and experience; and (3) answer its critics.

DID OLD TESTAMENT BELIEVERS LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHRIST? - A scriptural apologetic for the one people of God and continuity between that people. Focuses on the title question, arguing that OT believers, while saved on the other side of the cross, were nevertheless justified through Christ.

CHOSEN BUT FREE? - Baptist pastor James Harrison offers a very insightful review of Norman Geisler's Chosen But Free?, a recent attempted rebuttal to the doctrines of grace. James points out, with some detail, the many fallacies that run throughout the book.

TRANSFORMED BY GRACE - The testimony of Sue Donahoe, a wonderful sister in Christ whom I happen to attend church with. Sue turned her back on the homosexual lifestyle she had been living and embraced the life-changing power of the Gospel of Christ. If you think that people cannot change something so all embracing, you're right. Furthermore, we are ALL in that same boat - the one called "sin." With men such is impossible, yet with GOD all things are possible.

PARTICULAR REDEMPTION - Baptist pastor James Harrison looks at the words "all" and "world" in reference to the elect in 2 Corinthians 5:14-21.

THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM - The only gospel proclaimed in Scripture is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, "the Gospel of the Kingdom of God." What is this Gospel, and does it match what is being proclaimed today?

INVITATION: TO CALL OR NOT TO CALL - Baptist pastor James Harrison offers a Biblical critique of the popular practice of the "altar call." Get ready to rethink some modern tradition.

FOREKNOWLEDGE: THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS GOD'S EYE! - An excellent article from James Harrison on God's foreknowledge. Some claim that "foreknowledge" is to be understood as "foresight." Harrison clearly demonstrates that this is not what Scripture means by "foreknowledge" at all!

THE BIBLE ON DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY - Basically an immense compilation of Scripture passages that call into serious question popular concepts of "free will" and establish the general validity of a "Calvinistic" soteriology. Some of these passages may have gone unnoticed and could prove shocking to some!

WHAT IS JUSTIFICATION? - A guest article written by Ernesto Florendo of the Phillipines. Ernesto offers a Biblical perspective on the issue of our justification in Christ, including brief mention of the place of baptism.

ETERNAL LIFE - WHEN? - Many commonly teach that "eternal life" is a present possession of the believer. In doing so, such teachers exclude the full Biblical teaching on the subject. This paper seeks to clarify this one-sided emphasis and present a more balanced presentation that accounts for all of the evidence.

WILL THE REAL BIBLE PLEASE STAND UP? - Baptist pastor James Harrison gives a detailed treatment on the "KJV-only" teaching. While James and I disagree on which textual tradition best represents the originals, he does a fine job showing the faulty reasoning of teachers like Gail Riplinger.

I DON'T THINK PAUL DID IT THIS WAY! - Former Baptist pastor Desmond Allen goes to Scripture and identifies several areas where the Western Evangelical Church desperately needs, not improvement, but REFORMATION. Desmond boldly holds the Western Church side by side with the Biblical model - and finds that they do not resemble one another near so much as we like to think. "Churchianity" is dealt a death-blow in this treatise. NOT FOR THE SQUEMISH.

"I BELIEVE IN THE COMMUNION OF THE SAINTS" - Ernesto Florendo takes a hard look at "the communion of the saints," explaining from Scripture why it CANNOT mean what the Roman-Catholic Church claims it does.

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST: UPON WHAT IS IT BUILT? - Ken Mansfield offers this look at Matthew 16:13-20, explaining why the Church is NOT built on the person of the Apostle Peter.

THE PASTOR-THEOLOGIAN: WHERE HAS HE GONE? - James Harrison, himself a Baptist pastor, offers this "lament" - words sorely needed in this day and age. A challenging article for those in ministry.

ON "THE CHURCH" - Those who claim that the Church is always and only "visible" (i.e., RCC, Orthodox, CoC, Landmark Baptists, etc.) often point out that the idea of the "invisible Church" is not found anywhere in Scripture. But is this claim correct? In this short article I show from Scripture that "church" is used in the New Testament in both a local, visible sense and in a universal, invisible sense.

REALIZED MILLENNIALISM - A fairly detailed presentation of my eschatological views, commonly (mis)called "amillennialism." Get out your Bible! One reader wrote: "Thanks William. Excellent reading - really challenging the ways I have always thought (and been taught). I went to a pre-mill seminary and was too new in my faith at the time to question whether the whole pre-mill idea made sense. Now I see that it really doesn't."

WILD TRUTH REELING BUT ERECT - A critique of dispensational premillennialism from a Wesleyan-Holiness perspective. From Church of the Nazarene pastor Curt Pegram. Great to read alongside my article, "Problems With Dispensationalism" (below).

PROBLEMS WITH DISPENSATIONALISM - John Nelson Darby introduced an organized system of novel theology over a century ago. Christians by and large have embraced these teachings almost unwittingly. But are these doctrines consistent with the faith of the historic Church? Are such views consistent with Scripture?

"THE PLAIN MEANING" : A REVIEW ESSAY - Edward Fudge, author of The Fire That Consumes, gives an insightful critique of Robert Morey's arguments in Death & the Afterlife.

IS ETERNITY GUARANTEED FOR EVERYONE? - Ken Mansfield examines the traditional idea that all men are by nature "immortal." Will the wicked really exist eternally in hell? I implore the reader to be prepared to "search the Scriptures with all readiness of mind."

THE USE OF IMAGES IN WORSHIP: IS IT BIBLICAL? - Ernesto Florendo takes a biblical look at the use of images in worship, offering a defense of the Protestant position against them. Consideration is given to Roman-Catholic theological arguments for images.

THE DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS - Mark McNeil examines the widely accepted higher critical notion that the Pentateuch (Genesis-Deuteronomy) was not authored by Moses. Solid arguments are set forth for accepting the traditionally ascribed Mosaic authorship. Very thorough.

CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER SABBATHKEEPER - Former Seventh-Day Baptist Pastor Tom Warner (now Advent Christian) tells his own story concerning why he became sabbatarian, and then how he discovered that he was wrong on this issue.

WHY PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO SECTARIAN GROUPS - While exposing and correcting heterodox doctrine is important, a Christian sister named Rae reminds us that there are some equally important overlooked factors. Factors we should all consider when ministering to those involved with sectarian groups.

AN EXPOSITION OF 1 CORINTHIANS 15:12-57 - This is the key passage to the Biblical teaching on eschatology. A clear understanding of it will dispel the confusing maze created by modern "Bible prophecy teachers."

"JUDGE NOT, THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED" - A guest article written by Ken Mansfield. Ken looks at the much-abused text of Matthew 7:1, considering the passage within both its immediate context and also the broader context of Scripture. Let's put it this way: if you're a believer, you'd better be "judging."

THE RICH MAN & LAZARUS - An article compiled from Holy Scripture by Ken Mansfield. While an article in the works by myself focuses on demonstrating that this story from Luke 16 is a parable, Ken's article sets forth an interpretation of the parable by comparing Scripture with Scripture. An interesting and original article.

GALATIANS SERIES - A series of five convicting articles by Paul Veitch, a Reformed Episcopalian minister. The articles are in order as follows:

* Galatians 1:10 - Man's Favor?

JESUS, THE BREAD OF LIFE - Guest author Ernesto Florendo takes a close look at John 6, refuting the strict literalism of the sacramentalists.

CHALLENGING THE NATURALISTIC PHILOSOPHY OF EVOLUTION - In this paper, I introduce the reader to the philosophical nature of the debate on origins. It is written from an apologetic perspective, with special emphasis placed on the Intelligent Design Movement. [Originally written to satisfy my honors requirement for an Introduction to Philosophy class -- the paper received a grade of 99 from an evolutionist professor].

"REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR" - A very detailed study of God as the Creator, from a theological and Scriptural perspective. Demonstrates the importance of this truth, looking at every major Biblical passage that speaks on the subject. Theological and practical ramifications of the doctrine are emphasized throughout.

ANOTHER LOOK AT SATAN - Was Satan originally an angel in heaven named "Lucifer"? Do the often-quoted Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 really refer to the devil? And if not, then who is Satan and where did he come from?

WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN THINKER? - This is the website's "mascot article" that once graced the mainpage. Upon redesigning that page with a dark background, I have moved the article here. Explains what I mean by "Christian thinker."

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN THESES - Or, "A Call for Reformation for the Contemporary Christian Music Industry." An article by veteren Christian musician Steve Camp which, in the spirit of Martin Luther, sets forth 107 principles for reformation within the CCM industry.

THE CHRISTIAN CASE AGAINST ABORTION - This generation has seen the uprising of prominent "left-wing" Christians, some of whom have championed attempts to formulate a "pro-choice" position from Scripture. IT CANNOT BE DONE, and here is why.
