Charismatics and Pentecostals: True Expressions of Christianity or Something Else
Continuing my series on false religions, I ask the question, is the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement a true expression of Christianity with which we disagree, or is it something else?
-
Jehovah's Witnesses: A False Religion Indeed
On this episode, I cover a little about the history and teachings of Charles Taze Russell and the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is not just a false religion, it is one of the most aggressive false religions of our day.
-
Islam: A False and Dangerous Religion
In this episode, I continue my series on false religions. I shift my focus to Islam, which I claim is more than just a false religion. It is overtly incoherent, rationally speaking, and dangerous from a political standpoint.
-
Is Judaism A False Religion
In this episode, I explore the history of Judaism to include its direct encounter with the actual head and founder of Christianity itself, Jesus Christ. What you will discover might shock you. Enjoy!
-
Is Roman Catholicism A False Religion?
In approaching this question, one must examine whether the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church align with the authoritative Word of God or whether they stand in opposition to it. This episode will therefore analyze key doctrinal issues—such as justification, authority, the sacraments, and the...
-
The False Religion of Mormonism
There is a growing concern that some Christians will be tempted to see Mormonism in a positive light, given their allegiance to conservative values and politics. This episode warns Christians not to compromise in this area. Mormonism has historically been deemed an anti-Christian cult and a false...
-
Charlie Kirk: The Temptation of Emotional Affinity
DISCLOSURE: While a 2019 video of Charlie Kirk and Rod Smith shows Charlie defending gay Christianity, a 2024 video suggests that Charlie's views on this issue took a turn. In 2024 he clearly condemns the practice and quotes Leviticus 18 an 20 while doing so. I took the episode down until I…

John Piper & Kevin DeYoung: Wrong on Baptism
In this episode I respond to John Piper's claim that Colossians 2:11-12 refutes infant baptism and Kevin DeYoung's claim that it affirms it and links NT baptism to OT circumcision.
-
The Christian and The Jew
In this episode, I warn Christians about taking up an ungodly and hateful attitude toward the Jewish nation. Antisemitism is incongruent with a faithful and godly lifestyle at its core. The godly Christian will avoid it at every turn.
-
Grey Areas
In this episode I discuss popular grey areas like alcohol and even yoga. Christians should avoid coming up with rules outside of Scripture and then placing those rules on others.
-
Continuationism: Exegetically and Empirically Bankrupt
In this episode, I provide a straightforward argument that shows the impossibility of continuationism from an exegetical, empirical, and sufficiency of Scripture perspective.
-
Things Modern Arminians Would Never Say
In this episode I talk about the real dangers of modern Arminianism and how this religion is really nothing more than ancient Pelagianism with a Christian mask.
-
Responding to Steve Lawson
In this episode I talk about what a Christian response to the Steve Lawson situation looks like.
-
Book Review: The Lust of The Flesh (Jared Moore)
In this episode I provide my review of Jared Moore's book, The Lust of The Flesh. It is a breath of fresh air and much needed resource for believers as we continue to fight for the purity of the body of Christ.
-
What is Christianity?
In this episode I discuss the 2022 Ligonier survey on the state of theology. The results are shocking but predictable given the current trends and trajectory of the churches. In addition, I play a number of clips capture some of the false teachers out there and their false teachings.
-
I Begg Your Pardon (Examining Allistair)
In this episode, I talk about the recent controversy regarding Allister Begg's advice that a grandmother attend her grandson's wedding ceremony to a transgender. The advice has caught everyone off guard and for good reason. We have come to expect better than this from pastor Begg.
-
How To Destroy Christianity
In this episode, I talk about the best ways to destroy Christianity. As one might imagine, most of these tactics center around alienating Christianity from God speaking in Scripture as much as you can. Regrettably, this work is well underway even in some of the most conservative churches, so-called.
-
Homosexuality Comes to the SBC (Part 2)
In this episode I continue to talk about how Christopher Yuan is being employed by large SBC churches, such as Hickory Grove in Charlotte, NC, to weaken the church's traditional view on homosexuality. Yuan is on record affirming that you can be a Christian and have pedophilic desires.
-
Homosexuality Comes to The SBC
In this episode I rant about how SBC churches using Christopher Yuan, an admitted homosexual, how to train their people "biblical" sexuality. It should be noted that Yuan is on record as saying you can be sexually attracted to children and be a true believer. That's right. You can be a pedophile...
-
Evangelism in a Postmodern Culture
In this episode, I discuss the need to get back to basic evangelism in a postmodern culture.
-
Andy Stanley vs Sam Harris - Stanley's Apologetics
In this episode, I talk about how Andy Stanley admits that Sam Harris has influenced and reshaped his preaching and framing of the gospel and Christianity for over 15 years now.
-
A Review of Andy Stanley's Apologetic
In this episode, I deal with the incoherence in Andy Stanley's apologetic method and theology. It is impossible to separate "the Bible says" from what Matthew or Luke or Paul says. What the authors of the Bible say, the Bible says. Moreover, if one of the authors of Scripture proves unreliable in...
-
What Say Ye? Q&A with Chris Soules
In this episode, I have a special guess on to do my very first Q&A. Chris Soules is both a Christian brother as well as a Jiu Jitsu brother. On this episode, Chris asks about the doctrine of election and the conversation takes off from there. I hope you enjoy the discussion.
-
The Christian Franchise
In this episode, I rant about the Christian Franchise. Modern Christianity has adopted the franchise model in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Christian Franchise's top service is affirmation. Everything she says and does is geared toward affirming people in the marketplace so as to attract and...
-
The Doctrine of Original Sin and It's Denial
In this episode, I rant about the denial of original by men like Leighton Flowers and movements like Provisionism. The denial of original sin is a rejection of historic biblical Christianity.
-
The SBC: Is The Concept A Good Idea
In this episode, I rant about the concept of the Southern Baptist Convention and contemplate the question: Is the concept itself a good idea? a
-
Provisionism: On Free Will
In this episode, I rant about Provisionism and its view of free will. I conclude that it is exegetically bankrupt, theologically baseless, logically incoherent, and a philosophical non-starter.
-
Provisionism: An Incoherent View of Divine Sovereignty
In this episode, I rant about Leighton Flowers and the Provisionist's incoherent view of divine sovereignty. No one should hold to a system that is internally inconsistent with itself. Irrationalism is antithetical to Christian belief.
-
Provisionism's Incoherent Doctrines of Regeneration and Election
In this episode, I review the doctrines of Regeneration and Election as stated by Provisionism. As it turns out, both doctrines fail in that they prove to be logically incoherent and exegetically untenable.
-
Provisionism: An Incoherent Doctrine of Grace
It's difficult if not impossible to get the gospel right if you get grace wrong. Provisionism gets grace terribly wrong.
-
Provisionism's Incoherent Doctrine of The Atonement
Provisionism claims to affirm the penal-substitutionary view of the atonement. On the other hand, Provisionism claims that Christ atoned for the sins of people who will not be saved in the end. These two propositions are contradictory to one another and reflect a muddled and confused doctrine of...
-
Provisionism: Incoherent Hamartiology
Why did Jesus say men need to be born again if they are born innocent with a will that is not impacted by Adam's fall and a nature that is merely inclined to sin and not actually sinful? It is one thing to say we are born with a nature inclined to sin and another to say we are born with a sinful...
-
Provisionism: Rational or Irrational Representation of Christianity
In this episode, I cover the unavoidable incoherence between Provisionism's soteriology and theology proper. If God really wanted to avoid anyone going to hell, then He could have simply chosen NOT to create or He could have created man with the ability to freely choose various ways to only…

The Weakening of Sola Scriptura
In this episode, I rant about the principle of sola Scriptura and the critical role that this principle plays in Christianity.
-
Brad Mason: CRT Evangelist Extraordinaire
In this episode, I rant about Mason's not so brief overview of Critical Race Theory and his continued slide into full-on apostasy. This is what happens to someone when Scripture is no longer their source of authority for truth and you don't plant yourself in a godly church with godly elders who...
-
The Menace of Manipulation in Ministry
In this episode, I rant about the popular practice of manipulation among pastors and elders. Pagan society engages in open and shameless manipulation in order to advance its agenda. While it may seem unthinkable that pastors and elders would mirror this same behavior, it is happening nonetheless....
-
The Milky Way: What You Win Them To, You Must Keep Them With
In this episode, I rant about the practice of modern pastors to reduce everything sermon, bible study, and Sunday school lesson to the lowest common denominator in order to look out for the new believer. This tactic is a ruse on the part of pastors to keep people comfortable and coming to their...
-
The Purge: The Cancer of Modern Christianity
In this episode, I rant about the God who is a God of purging. God purged the earth of wickedness during Noah's day. God demanded that his covenant people in the OT purge their communities of wickedness. God demands that his covenant people in the NT purge their communities or wickedness. In the...
-
The Insanity of Sin
In this episode, I rant about the continued deterioration of the human condition under the curse. Modern humanity has displaced rational thought with the evil desires of the human heart and assigned a new role to the cognitive faculties: justify my evil desires and behavior and shape the will...
-
TGC's Gospel of Manipulation
In this episode, I rant about the tactics of manipulation being employed by those who would want to shut down dissent. If these tactics do not work, I predict they will, like the Jesuit Catholics in the Ottoman empire, use the pagans to shut it down. Taking someone's claim to its logical…

James White's New Dance with Postmillennialism
In this episode, I rant about James White's criticisms of John MacArthurs premillennial views on how the end-times will proceed from bad to worse. The postmil guys all ignore Jesus' comparison of the days of Noah with his return. That said, I do not offer a critique of postmillennialism, a view...
-
Social Status & Class in Greco-Roman Times: Did The Apostles Love Their Neighbor?
I this episode, I provide a very high-level overview of the social structures in Greco-Roman times, specifically, class and status. Then I ask the question: did Jesus or the Apostles work to change things in that structure? What are the implications of the answer to this question?
-
Frank Turek: The Greatest Argument for The Existence of God
In this episode, I rant about an interview that took place over the summer between Frank Turek and Tricia Scribner regarding a book that Scribner helped edit: Answering the Music Man. The Music Man is a response to many of the arguments that Dan Barker has made against Christianity. I offer up...
-
Team JD Greear Obliterates The Jerusalem Conference in The Name of Wokeness
In this episode, I rant about Team JD Greear's complete obliteration of The Jerusalem Conference all for the sake of defending the new Woke Cult that most of the SBC has become. Did you know that the apostles were actually trying to figure out how to remove obstacles to the gospel? This is how...
-
Voting and The Christian Ethic
In this extended episode, I rant about what your voting behavior reveals about your beliefs and what your beliefs tell us about your Christianity. Do you embrace the version of Christianity that is supernaturally revealed in Scripture or have you unwittingly embraced a contemporary version…
more -
John Piper Riposte
In this episode, I do a follow up on Piper's voting article in light of his statement that he will not vote for Trump or Biden which is effectively a waste of time. Why vote at all? The point of the riposte is to counter the claim that Piper was not targeting Trump. I believe the evidence…
more -
The Prophets of Baal: TGC's Q-Anon & Platt and Piper's Bizarre Voting Philosophies
In this episode, I RANT about TGC's manipulative use of Q-Anon, David Platt's "Before You Vote" and John Piper's article, "Policies, Persons, and Paths to Ruin." While each of these is tackling different subjects, they are all working hard for the same end: they want to turn you into democrats…

Tim Keller's White Slander Contains Neither Justice nor Gospel
In this episode, I rant about the recent slander of all white people by Tim Keller. I point out that the principle Keller employs to indict white humans everywhere is not based on Christian doctrine and that his idea of privilege vs no privilege is a false dilemma. The fact is that privilege is…

American Christianity in Disarray - My People Perish for Lack of Leadership
In this episode, I rant about the ecumenism of Tim Keller, the judgementalism of J.D. Greear, the tyranny of the Gospel Coalition, and the new Generation Z Bible translation that amounts to blasphemy. And oh, I return to my view on COVID and in-person vs digital worship.
-
When Love You Neighbor Becomes Tyranny
In this episode, I rant about the way pagan culture, liberal Christians, and even evangelical Christians and leaders are arrogantly employing the second greatest commandment to bully and intimidate Christians so that they behave and think according to their own personal standards.
