The Trinity is perhaps the most misunderstood doctrine in the Christian faith, possibly because it is such a uniquely Christian teaching. Therefore many cults and false religions enjoy using the trinity to attack a weak point in most Christian’s understanding. So we ask; is the idea of a trinity a contradiction while at the same [...]

A Response to Rising Islam- Pt 2 (Better Titled: What’s Wrong with the Church Today)
What is the problem with the church of this generation? I posed this question in my post responding to the rise of Islam. If you read that post, you will notice that Islam does not so much concern me. However, it did raise for me, the question, of the Church? Why are we not having [...]

Matthew 24:1-3 – Olivet Discourse continued… (Part 1)
Mathew 24’s first two verses begin by describing a comment Jesus made about the incredible stones with which the temple was made, this comment then triggered the rest of the discourse. The disciples probably thought that Christ would be impressed, as they were, by the beautiful stones, but instead He goes on to predict that [...]

The Olivet Discourse – Matthew 24
It has been on my mind for awhile to deal with the whole issue of eschatology, and to be honest, as I approached the issue, I began to realize how little I understand. The more I read various views (which initially seemed rather convincing) the more I began to realize that none really answers all [...]

A Friendly Discussion on Preterism (Part 2.1)
The Time Texts: The Crux of Preterism R.C. Sproul says that “the central thesis . . . of all preterists is that the New Testament’s time frame references with respect to the parousia point to a fulfillment within the lifetime of at least some of Jesus’ disciples.[i]” The majority of preterist books I have come [...]

From the outset let me say that I have dear friends and brothers who are fellow Christians and labourers for Christ who hold to a preterist position. The point of my articles is to engage myself on these doctrines. However it is not to prove that my partial preterist friends are heretics, they are much [...]

When mere wonder (how we feel about God) becomes idolatry.
It has come to my attention lately that this whole issue of theology and doctrine being bad is again an issue, Post-moderns who seem to only read a bit of early Christian writing and have not followed the historical debate in the 19th century regarding the idea of doctrine, have made the same mistakes as [...]

Zeitgeist, Davinci, Judas Scrolls and the Hostile Mind!
Yesterday I was reflecting on the series of attacks against Christianity that have occurred lately, not from the inside as with the ‘emergent heresy’ (you can define that however you want to… or can you?), but from the secular world. Things like the ‘Divinci Code’, ‘Epistle of Judas’ and the new ‘Zeitgeist’ dvd which is [...]

What is it to Know God (The Trend of this Knowledge)
What do I mean when I say, “The knowledge of God?”, what I mean is not only that we grasp the fact that there is some God, but also understand what relevance it has to us, and what brings Him glory, really what I am saying is, what is relevant to mankind with regards to [...]

Knowledge of God and Man Connected.
John Calvin said, “Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves.” This seems to be what most people think, even philosophy lectures at universities begin with the existence of God (philosophy of religion) and then [...]
