Lawson, Church, and Protestantism; It's Just That Simple

Paul – I think you are being too generous to Lawson, unless my antipathy towards Calvinism has got the better of me! I even looked up Wartburg Watch after about a decade, and the comment there that Lawson has yet even to mention his victim, the girl he had the affaire with, is very telling and indicates his repentance may be more remorse for what his actions have done to him. There is a history…

Yes. Jay’s counseling approach, though a contradiction to…

Steven Lawson Explained: The Protestant False Gospel

Steven Lawson had five years to consider what he had to lose by partaking in a relationship with a women other than his wife. I think Lawson is probably an ok guy, and fairly decent as far as people go, so now we can consider what he knew. He knew what the exposure would do to the cause of Christ, his peers, his family, and his followers. While he revealed his penchant for imagination by…

Let's Talk About the Rapture and Possible "Golden Age"

I am a shameless believer in the Rapture, and I believe the insistence by Churchians that Christians will live through the Rapture comes from a justification by works mentality. On the one hand, the church moans and whines about how we are all broken and must escape to Jesus daily, but believing that Christians will be raptured to heaven before the Tribulation period is “escapism.” And so it…

Churchian Hallmarks Part 2

You need to be very careful that you are not looking in the mirror and describing yourself. Or what? Sounds like a threat. I “NEED to be,” “VERY careful,” oh my. Oh, wait, that’s right, if I don’t submit to your authority, God will judge me. And thanks for telling me what I need. You see, tyrants always threaten us with their authority because they love the commoners. They are concerned with…

Churchian Hallmarks

Hmm, I came here hoping to see at least one of two sides presenting a clear, undistorted view of the other’s position as part of their response to it, and found only muddier waters. Oh well. You are a classic Churchian.First of all, you didn’t come here looking for clarity, you already know what you believe based on what preferred “experts” have told you. Secondly, you think you are always the…

Why the Whole Predestination Debate is Stupid and Shameful

This is a reposting of this morning’s post under a different title to make another point. At this point, whether predestination regarding salvation is true or false is not the point; predestination is argued from a Protestant point of view and Protestantism is a false gospel to begin with. In other words, salvific predestination is fruits from the poisonous tree. Yet, there are Protestant…

Come Out From Among Them and Be Separate

Mr. Dohse, For your consideration: Romans 6:7 says, were it translated consistently from the Greek, “For he that is dead is JUSTIFIED from sin.” The ASV is one of the few translations that renders the Greek word there the same way–“justified”–as it is rendered everywhere else (about 39 times) in the New Testament. The KJV went off script here, and many others followed its lead. In the argument…

Protestantism is False Because of Romans 8:2

Most false gospels are based on interpreting soteriology from a single perspective on the law. Protestantism is included in this error as well. Romans 8:2 discusses two laws, “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ” and “the law of sin and death.” Both words for “law” in this passage are “nomos,” meaning a written law or moral code. Many Protestant theologians try to interpret nomos in this…

Death is NOT OK

If you are struggling with the death of a loved one, human or pet, please be free. You are not in bondage to “accepting it” or moving on. You are free to never accept it. Don’t worry, the body and mind will adjust and you will adapt through a new homeostasis because part of you is gone that you will never get back. You can be happy again because your body and mind will create a new normal for…
