"The Christian should speak the words of Scripture under the authority of Scripture, and according to that form which Scripture itself illustrates." -- John Wycliffe (1330-1384) He responded to the maze of philosophical abstractions, which didn't appeal to what God revealed.

Yoga was my gateway into idolatry. At first, I thought it was just stretching exercise; I had no idea I was stepping into a religious system that worships false gods. The studio was adorned with statues and images of Hindu and Buddhist deities, and each pose - though marketed as…

I encourage all Christians to research NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) if unfamiliar. It's built on a counterfeit theology shaped by New Age mysticism, dominionist ideology, and a distorted view of spiritual authority, also promotes extrabiblical revelation and manipulative…

Is the word Rapture in the Bible? Yes... 📖 1 Thessalonians 4:17 (KJV) says believers will be "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air. That phrase "caught up" comes from the Greek word harpádzō (ἁρπάζω), meaning “to snatch or seize suddenly in the nick of time.” When…

BREAKING: @RobertKennedyJr has removed the Covid shot from the childhood vaccine schedule. This never should have been on the list to begin with. It was never about science. It was about profit and control.

This paragraph is excellent regarding the supposed "novelty" of Premillennial teaching (i.e. Millenarianism), an accusation of novelty is from men of "pretensions" who "deride this early view [of Millenarianism]." "The doctrine herein advocated [Millenarianism], because of its…

We are doomed in our slavery to sin unless the sovereign God changes our hearts and sets our wills free. Today on @RYMRadio, listen as @RCSproul examines the issue of free will as it appears in discussions throughout church history. renewingyourmind.org/2025/07/22/

The "glaring omission" is any notice of the work of @Phil_Johnson_, Frank Turk, and myself at Pyromaniacs. We gave pointed and timely pushback which, had it been heeded, would have prevented the disaster. It was ignored then, and this thread makes no note of it. Check it out:…

The Bible explains science. If the Bible is really what it claims to be, a revelation from an omnipotent Creator, then the history that is revealed to us will make sense of the evidence of the present, and observational (empirical) science should confirm this history—and it…

I miss Reagan. Unrivaled wit and wisdom in politics. There were many aspiring politico coattail riders but very few who even tried to follow what he believed.

Theology 101: I hear from people that studying church history made them Catholic. Or Orthodox. Or Lutheran. Or Anglican. Or Presbyterian. I'm a patristic scholar who has been working academically in early church history for decades, and that has made me... stay right where I'm at…

Theology 101: Speaking of novel theologies, the idea that the Sabbath was transferred to Sunday as a day of literal rest in fulfillment of the fourth commandment and thus binding on Christians was a post-reformation, mostly puritan invention. Nobody interpreted or applied the…

Theology 101: If you want to know what modern dispensationalists actually believe, confess, and teach, I would recommend reading articles and books by their actual theologians who hold teaching positions at institutions and regularly publish in academic circles. I would not…

Theology 101: If a doctrine or practice were actually from the earliest church, people in later centuries wouldn't have had to literally forge documents to make it look like their novelties were original. Big, big red flag. E.g., writings of Dionysius the Aereopagite, fake…

Hmmm.

Theological Public Service Announcement For Today. It's okay to make distinctions when Scripture does. If you think there are contradictions in Scripture, you err by not making biblical distinctions. Stay in the Word and avoid speculative human philosophical reasoning.

Today’s #manuscriptmonday is all about the chapters and verses in the Bible, the authors didn’t come up with them, so who did? (a 🧵)…

Hello @Pontifex - why have you not called out the barbaric murder of Syrian Christians and Druze? They have called out to the world for help but only Israel has answered the call with weapons and their lives.

I read the book way back in the early 80s. There's a reason why it remains important. Steve Nichols does a good job discussing the background of the theological issues and why they matter to this day.

RC Sproul is helpful in thinking through these questions.
