The book argues that much contemporary Baptist practice surrounds the Lord’s Supper with a false mystique that obscures Paul’s actual concerns in 1 Corinthians 10–11. It begins by carefully cataloging the concrete ways Scripture says believers may “eat and drink unworthily”: turning the ordinance into something “no longer the Lord’s Supper,” privatizing it as “one’s own supper,” indulgence (gluttony and drunkenness), despising the church and shaming the poor, failing to examine oneself and to “discern the Lord’s body,” refusing corrective self-judgment, not ...

Hawaii has a secret. It is a dark and terrible thing. It involves racism, hate crimes, and brain washing. Hawaiians have been isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for centuries. First contact with foreigners happened in 1778. Hawaii became a unified kingdom, through war, in the early 1800s. His Majesty, King Kamehameha "the great" conquered the eight largest islands in the Hawaiian archipelago.

What do a bishop from Alexandria and a monk in Damascus have in common? Everything—if you care about the foundations of Christian thought. Orthodox Foundations is two books in one—a compelling beginner’s guide to Cyril of Alexandria and John of Damascus, two towering figures who didn’t just defend Christian doctrine—they forged it in fire. They lived in different centuries. Faced different threats. Wrote in different styles. But both stood at the front lines of the Church’s greatest battles. They argued for truth when compromise was easier. They shaped ideas that still define ...

Bernard and the historical and linguistic expertise of Rick Renner.

For two thousand years, Christians have been told a story that doesn’t add up. A God of love who orders genocide. A savior of freedom whose name was twisted into obedience and control. This book rips the curtain back. From the Sumerian tablets to the Essenes, from the Gnostic gospels to modern Israel, Ian Jacklin traces the hidden history that churches buried and empires hijacked. 📖 Inside you’ll discover: Why the “God of the Old Testament” (Yahweh/Enlil) was never the Source — but a flesh-and-blood overlord demanding obedience. How Jesus and the Essenes carried a very ...

If we read the Old School/New School Presbyterian controversy the way a historian reads a fracture line in rock, the key point is this: it wasn’t a single doctrinal dispute, but a whole system—a package deal—about what Christianity is, how grace works, and who gets to steer the church. Your summary file already captures that “bundle” structure well: doctrine, revival method, polity, and institutional power all moving together. On the Old School side (Princeton-centered figures like Hodge, Alexander, Miller, and the more combative Breckinridge/Junkin wing), the animating fear was ...

DIOS ES SIMPLE: NO TIENE PARTES, NO CAMBIA, Y NO PUEDE SER CAMBIADO POR FACTORES EXTERNOS La doctrina de la simplicidad divina ha sido durante la mayor parte de la historia la piedra angular de la doctrina de Dios. Sin embargo, ha sido en el mejor de los casos ignorada, y en el peor de ellos rechazada. El Señor es Uno presenta tratamientos exegéticos, históricos y teológicos sobre la simplicidad divina, argumentando que esta doctrina es indispensable para una correcta compresión de la teología propia. En los últimos tiempos, el trinitarismo social y el teísmo mutualista, entre otros...

The question before us is not whether repentance matters. Scripture commands repentance, godly sorrow is real, and the believer’s life includes ongoing humbling before God. The question is where repentance and confession are allowed to sit in the structure of the gospel. When repentance becomes a hinge that turns forgiveness on and off—when confession is treated as the mechanism by which pardon is obtained or regained—then even evangelical language can drift into a practical re-legalization of the Christian life. This is precisely the danger Old School Baptists repeatedly resisted, ...

The controversy grows with every sale of the best-selling novel. Throughout the contemporary fictional storyline of The Da Vinci Code, author Dan Brown skillfully weaves "historical" assertions intended to shake the very foundations of Christianity. Authors James L. Garlow and Peter Jones present compelling evidence that Brown's assertions are not only historically inaccurate, but may also contain a hidden agenda.

Clement was probably a Gentile and a Roman. He seems to have been at Philippi with St. Paul (AD 57) when that first-born of the Western churches was passing through great trials of faith. There, with holy women and others, he ministered to the apostle and to the saints. As this city was a Roman colony, we need not inquire how a Roman happened to be there.
