    Job's friends failed him in his hour of need

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    ️ Who Is the Bride? Who Overcomes? A Look at Revelation and the Gospel Someone recently pointed out: Revelation 3:12 says overcomers will be named with New Jerusalem, the city of God. Revelation 21:2, 9–10 calls this city "the bride, the Lamb’s wife." Revelation 21:14 lists only the twelve...

    Difficulty Reconciling

    I merely admitted that people like to argue about it and have for centuries. But I see how you play now. It’s worth pointing out that intentionally excluding Paul and James from the discussion about faith and belief—especially when the very question is whether John presents faith...

    Difficulty Reconciling

    I don't really. Others have weighed in, I don’t see a contradiction at all. James wrote first and clearly defines faith as living, precisely because it results in action. Paul assumes that same definition of faith, but he’s addressing a different issue—specifically, the “works of the Law” and...

    Difficulty Reconciling

    This is an excellent and deeply thoughtful question. You’re not wrong to see tension between “faith alone” passages and those that speak of obedience, confession, and love as necessary for eternal life. But this tension is not a contradiction—it’s a structured mystery, one that Jesus Himself...

    Certainly. Here are SP-grounded and scripturally faithful responses to each situation, including direct quotations or references. 1) You just lost your job unexpectedly. Even when provision disappears, rejoicing in God is an act of prophetic faith—declaring that God is still present and...

    REVELATION IS NOT ABOUT THE CHURCH

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Let’s critique the argument point by point, using SP principles, textual logic, and full Scriptural integration. CLAIM BEING MADE: Let’s break this down into sections, evaluate each, and offer a response. SECTION 1: 2 Corinthians 11 — Espousal, not Identity SP Response: The...

    Job's friends failed him in his hour of need

    I practice a hermeneutic that is pretty close to the one he taught on the road to Emmaus. He said it all speaks of him. So rather than see Adam and Noah, et al, we see him.

    The Problems of Solo Scriptura (from Keith Matthison)

    This is an extremely detailed and thoughtful critique by Keith Mathison of the Evangelical distortion of sola scriptura—which he terms "solo scriptura." Below is a structured critique of his critique, viewed through the lens of Sensus Plenior (SP) principles and careful theological method...
