The following audio is the first part on a series on spiritual war. The title of the study is “What Kind of War.” It focuses on what the spiritual war that all are involved in is like, and how Christians can unwittingly make things worse for themselves and their brethren in this war. The following link [...]

A Means or An End

Comments (0) Filed under: Doctrine by: Paul

The following message is about our view of the LORD God and whether it is proper or not. It focuses on whether we think the LORD is the end of the matter, or merely a means to obtain another end. I pray it is profitable to you. You may also download it using the following link: A [...]

The Accuser of the Brethren

Comments (0) Filed under: Doctrine by: Paul
Tags: Doctrine, Satan, Scripture, Spiritual Warfare, the Devil

There are a number of subjects in the Scripture that bear study outside of the typical subjects that most Bible studies concentrate on, one of which is who the Devil, or Satan is, and how he operates. This is not done to glorify him, but is rather like studying the tactics, strategy and capabilities of [...]

The following audio is from a recent Wednesday night service in which Article 5 of our Statement of Faith is being taught.

Say What?

Comments (0) Filed under: Apologetics, Doctrine by: Paul
Tags: Bible, Doctrine, religion, Scripture, Seventh Day Adventist

I couldn’t believe it. I read it and could not believe it. Surely they cannot believe this. Nonetheless, apparently they do. What is it I could not believe? The following statement from the Seventh Day Adventist Fundamental Beliefs page: 8. Great Controversy: All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the [...]

What must I know to be saved?

Comments (0) Filed under: Apologetics, Doctrine, Thought of the Day by: Paul
Tags: Bible, Christianity, Doctrine, faith, Gospel, religion, salvation, Scripture

This post arises out of a study that I am doing, and is tied to one of John Locke’s books, which is The Reasonableness of Christianity. In this book much argument is made of what one must know to be saved or born-again, and become a Christian. At the time I read the book (which [...]

A Heart Toward Our Enemies

Comments (0) Filed under: Christian Conduct, Doctrine by: Paul
Tags: Baptists, Christianity, communism, Constitution, Doctrine, religion, salvation, Scripture, Society

One of the more difficult (and less taught) doctrines of Scripture is the doctrine of loving your enemies. It is not popular, as it flies directly in the face of what our flesh thinks ought to be. Moreover, for Baptists, the doctrine comes a little too close to the doctrine of pacifism espoused by the [...]

The embedded MP3 file was presented in Ebenezer Baptist Mission’s Sunday morning services during Bible Study on June 7th. I pray you find it edifying and a cause for reflection on how we conduct ourselves as members of a New Testament church. If you are born-again in Christ, and not a member of a New [...]

An Inconceivable Thought

Comments (5) Filed under: Apologetics, Doctrine by: Paul
Tags: Calvinism, Christianity, Doctrine, Reformed Theology, religion, salvation

The Calvinists love to accuse others of taking verses out of context anytime a verse is quoted or explained that demonstrates their doctrine to be not Scriptural. Moreover, they love to quote the following verse as “proof” that God is sovereign, and foreordained everything: . . .In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated [...]

Post Policy

I reserve the right to edit posts after they are published to correct typographical and sentence construction errors. I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks when it is necessary to clarify a point made.

At no time will the doctrine or teaching of a post change through post-publication editing. The doctrine I hold is Scripturally accurate and thus set.

Please read, learn and enjoy. If you happen to find an error, please drop me a line using the following address:
paulATreproachofmen.org

Just replace the AT with @ when cutting and pasting the address into the field.
Comment Policy

In the interests of discussion, "Comment Moderation" has been lifted. However, I reserve the right to delete comments that are abusive, vulgar, or offensive to decency and off-topic. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If comments become egregious, as they have before, then "Comment Moderation" will be re-enabled without warning.

I do not like comment moderation, but will invoke if it becomes necessary.
Link Policy

This will probably offend some, however I find it necessary to explain my position with regard to linking to other blogs.

Generally, if someone wishes to link their blog to this one, that is fine. There is an exception when it comes to those who are cults, or hold beliefs so egregious that they cannot be accepted at all. The same goes for blogs where immorality is advocated.

On the other hand, I may not reciprocate the link. It depends upon the doctrinal position of the individual or organization. The guiding rule for this is my Statement of Faith. This does not mean that I demand that someone walk “lockstep” with me before I will link to them. What it does mean is they must be solid on the doctrines. Linking, whether we like it or not, does indicate approval of either the individual, or the content of the blog (or site). I am very careful of what I “approve” of as it can and will be used against this ministry. This is not to say that the opinions of others dictate who I associate with. Rather, it is about witness and testimony, and being effective in presenting the unvarnished truth.

So, if you desire that I reciprocate a link, send me an e-mail indicating so. On the other hand, if I have time, and can go through your blog, I may reciprocate without the e-mail, but that’s not guaranteed.
