Brooklyn's Dad Talks About the Bible

The horrifying events from Saturday have churned up the worst in Christendom. Donald Trump is being called "the Chosen One" (the Messiah, the Christ). His followers are claiming some sort of divine protection (including protection from his deceased wide, Ivanka). Professed believers are pulling verses from anywhere in the Bible without regard to context to claim some eternal calling on Donald Trum...

We continue to look at commonly "claimed" hopes and promises from scripture (eight total) that your pastor probably spoke on today but which no direct place in the current age. You will be blessed like Abraham You will be wealthy if you follow the biblical pattern You no longer have a heart of stone God has a wonderful plan for your life (here and now) All things work together for good (with good...

There are two reasons I believe that there is no great spiritual awakening coming, nor will one come before the next events on the prophetic time clock. The professing church right now is so confused and contradictory all it can offer are false promises and the trappings or holiness. We'll take a closer look at the state of faith in these last days.

A quick final word (for now) on Real Catholic Inc. Then we examine the faith-destroying and dangerous practice of failing to rightly divide the Word of Truth. The practice in Christendom of grabbing any verse from anywhere in scripture and trying to claim it for ourselves will led to great disappointment and disillusionment.

And hilarity ensued! Now that Archbishop Vigano, conservative hero of Real Catholic Inc. (RCI), has been formally called a schismatic and excommunicated, RCI finds itself denying the Seat of Peter's "right" to bind and loose! The House of Cards again collapses. But then again, the Catholic Church is never quite sure exactly what the Pope's authority is. Nevertheless, the Catechism declares the fai...

We pause very briefly from theology to address the greater condition of humankind. There is a reason that politicians lie. They lie because it works. It works because people want to be lied to. Most people have convinced themselves that they have one set of values, but when push comes to shove, they really don't. Political junkies live and die by poll numbers, but they never bother to wonder why p...

We talk about those who may not ever hear the gospel of the free grace of God. Are they without hope? Is God so dependent on us that he has no other way to reach them? Scripture teaches that God is never without a witness. This is a foundational part of Paul's argument in the Book of Romans. We continue also chat about the point of the the Law (Ten Commandments, etc.) and how we can (must) apply r...

PalTalk message taught to the Musterion Paltalk Group on June 25, 2024. We examine God's witness in his creation from the beginning of the ages. That witness continues into the current age. God is not dependent upon weak and sinful men to carry out the message of reconciliation to all the world. Scripture teaches us that God does not leave himself without a witness and that witness is in the cerat...

We examine Paul's account in Acts 13 of Israel's history to his brethren, the Jews, and look to Israel's future. We note that God has periods in Israel's history from the time of the Exodus to the building of the Temple that he doesn't count. These are the time when Israel was temporarily "Lo-Ammi" or Not My People. We then note how things changed after the Acts Age with Paul's revelation of the M...

We briefly examine Pentecost and the New Covenant against tradition. We find again that these are part of the prophecies, promises, and covenants that are part of an earthly hope for Israel. The hope of the current age is heavenly.

We ponder a video by a YouTuber who believes the King James translators left out a whole lotta books and purposely altered Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood..." etc. so as to obscure his own ruling power. This leads us to address the principalities and powers "in the heavenly places" (Young's Literal) PS: Go Pack!

After we walk through some (hopefully) upcoming publications, we talk briefly about the basis for fellowship. Sure, I hold to a theological and exegetical system held by few professing believers, but I can gather around Christ... but only Christ alone. No sacraments or hope in anything else is welcome. We shortened up the opening. Season 4 pilot intro!

I heard a radio preacher this morning teach an entire message on half of 1 Samuel 17:29. This sort of thing plagues the pulpit as men try to find heaven/hell and direct application in every verse and believe everything is for us today.

We visit the Book of Ecclesiastes and ponder the idea of aging and the wisdom that comes with age as we look at own pasts.

We cover Michael's imaginary friend, the Libertarians crippling themselves again, Christian bands that aren't Christian, the Resurrection to come, and what's left of the kitchen sink!

We drop in on Paul in Acts 17. We talk briefly about his witnessing pattern. We look at a recent podcast comment and reference the Catholic Church preparing to make a statement on apparitions... again. We note that many pagan beliefs are distortions of true doctrine and biblical history. Because of this, ironically, some professed Christians who attack certain pagan beliefs fail to see their own p...

We revisit the Sermon on the Mount again and the call to give to whomever asks of you. Oddly, I've been asking Red Letter Christians to help with my medical bills for years! But like many other red letters, they don't seem to feel compelled by those. We also look at a chart created by Replacement Theology adherents to try and prove that the "church" is some sort of "New Israel." But the chart is g...

Something heard in the corridors of many a church (of almost any stripe) is "the Sermon on the Mount is my religion" or similar. Obviously, I think that's nonsense (just as the Red Letter Christians don't actually follow the Red Letters). But whatever position we take on any theological issue, it must be CONSISTENT. If you think your church is an "Acts Church," do you follow the patterns of Acts 2...

When we think about the many warnings and judgments in scripture, we tend to think of unbelievers. Well, the only warning we have for them is that the wages of sin is death and if they are not reconciled to God through Christ (who is already reconciled to them through Christ), they will not see life (resurrection). We again must consider the differences in hopes and callings. New Jerusalem, etc.

Hus, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Luther, and countless thousands of others are rolling over in their graves seeing what the world calls "Evangelicals" and "Protestant" Christianity today swooning over right wing commentators and personalities entering into the Catholic Church. The doctrine of Christ's fully accomplished and completed work for which thousands have paid with their lives to defend has been ca...

Caitlin Clark is going to cash in on endorsements. More power to her! Love to see any semblance of capitalism left. But her WNBA contract, much to the chagrin of feminists, will not be anywhere near an NBA top pick salary. Love to see any semblance of capitalism left. Yet I don't see feminists filling WNBA arenas, paying NBA prices, or watching the WNBA in any significant numbers to make a differe...

We wander around the call to Godliness in this age and apply it, not only to our lives, but to our doctrines as well. We also look at the political landscape and lament the dearth of Godliness in our leaders. Not only do we have leaders devoid of Godliness, we are led by many vile people. And, sadly, despite their vile attributes, they have managed to gain the undying loyalty of many professed bel...

The Amherst-Pelham Regional District recently ran into its own bullhorn when a trans middle school child was cruelly harassed by fellow students and then approached by staff members with Bible verses. The problem? The harassers and the proselytizers were from another superior group, blacks and Hispanics. What's a good Progressive to do? Can't punish anybody because "restorative justice" and "it's...

We clarify and exalt the finished work of the Savior. Not only did the Lord die in our place, He went to the grave and did not decay! He then rose gloriously to show us what lies ahead for those resting in that perfect work. But that perfect work is under assault, and most often and most directly, by those claiming to be Christians. Along the way, I discuss briefly why I don't do "church calendars...

We start our look at the great falling away that permeates Christendom. The vast majority of Christendom condemns the gospel of grace itself while most of the rest dilute it or mix it with manmade standards. Many of those who say Sola Scriptura with their lips, yield to tradition and academia.  The title "Early Church Fathers" is one of Satan's most clever ruses (not necessarily the men, but the t...
