Is curiosity a culturally acceptable sin we've all fallen prey to?

It has become increasingly unclear among some as to whether they affirm a bodily resurrection, or a resurrection of our selfsame bodies. Among these is Gar DeMar.

Is Scripture the highest authority, or is it the only authority? There is a surprising world of difference between these two positions. Join me as I navigate the foundational doctrine of Sola Scriptura.   thebaptistbroadcast.com

God is holy, and so is His will. How does this square with evil? Join me as I discuss essential volition and permissive volition.

Neo-Kenoticism takes texts like Matthew 24:26 and infers ignorance in the Person of Christ, not only according to His humanity, but also according to His deity. Such error reflects a need for partitive exegesis and whole-Bible interpretation.

What is the kingdom of Christ? Is it distinct from natural or secular institutions? Does it overlap?

Is it true unbelievers are covenant members in an objective sense? This is an important question because the answer really determines whether the new covenant is attained by grace alone or by the participant's faithfulness.

Doug Wilson is often disparaged on tonal grounds. I am not the tone-police. Instead, I have prayerfully chosen to address three concerning doctrinal issues in Doug's theology which I feel are significant enough to warrant some heavy pushback. This is just something initiatory in view of producing more content along these lines.   thebaptistbroadcast.com   Stock footage provided by Videvo...

Some meditations on Galatians 5:4. This is a text we will be walking through during our Wednesday night Bible study.   thebaptistbroadcast.com  victorybaptistkc.org

Here, I attempt not to criticize theonomy as a position, nor criticize my theonomic friends. Rather, I try to point out how some who hold the position may inadvertently run the risk of advertising what amounts to a conservative version of the social gospel.

With the Greek language comes the concepts it was historically used to convey. The Apostle Paul, while no Aristotelian philosopher, certainly assumed an Aristotelian philosophy of being as all educated persons largely did in the 1st century. thebaptistbroadcast.com  victorybaptistkc.org  https://twitter.com/1689Broadcast  https://www.facebook.com/jsommer1689

Here I briefly describe natural law, positive law, and theonomy. In light of the distinction I make between natural and positive laws, I note some issues with theonomic reconstruction.  Visit the website: thebaptistbroadcast.com  Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/1689Broadcast Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jsommer1689

Today, my guest, Scott Meadows, and I will be discussing the first half of 2LBCF ch. 1, Of the Holy Scriptures. What's it's historical context? Does it sow the seeds of presuppositionalism? Our hope is that this episode will be clarifying as to the meaning of the first chapter of the confession, especially as it regards pars. 4-5.

We have covered a couple of key items already: the word "tradition," and the apostolic nature of the great tradition. Here, we situate the great tradition in relation to Scripture.

In the first part, we looked at the word "tradition." In this part, we will define the great tradition as apostolic tradition.

I've decided to talk a little bit about a short series on 2 Thessalonians 2:15 we are going through at victorybaptistkc.org. I have quite a bit of material, and I'm amassing more. So, this may turn into a video series here. Stay tuned!

Want to do biblical exegesis? Ye must be born again.

Does John 10:30 only teach that the Father and Son are one in purpose? Or, does it more strongly and predominantly refer to their unity of essence?

It is crucial that we discern between what is proper to divinity and what is proper to the creature, especially when it comes to our Christology. Our Lord necessarily implies a distinction between His divine and human natures in John 12:44. Both Poole and Aquinas pick up on the distinction in their commentary.

John Gill offers eight formal lines of evidence supporting the claim of Scripture's divine origin and authority.

Truth is our goal. Dudes can be distractions. Doctrines are much better.   Response to James White's accusations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcqFs0_0wzc

Why is Confessionalism important? What is it? Join Steve Meister and myself as we discuss confessionalism then and now.

Brother James White has accused me of formally declaring him a heretic (I have not), and of lying about his position (I have not). If you watched the Dividing Line from April 21, 2022, please watch this.

There are three basic schools of apologetics: classical apologetics, evidential apologetics, and presuppositional apologetics. Why am I no longer a presuppositionalist? I hope my answer comes in useful for some.
