Say What?

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

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 [...]

Giving Occasion to the Enemies of God – Pt. 5

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

This is the fifth in a series addressing those who profess Christ and consider themselves Americans first and foremost. The point of this series is to educate everyone (not just born-again believers) on what the Scripture actually states concerning a proper attitude toward authority and toward those around us, both the froward and the good.

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 [...]

Beyond Our Design

On the 25th of June, 2009, the rock singer Michael Jackson left this life and entered eternity. By all reports, he was not prepared for that final journey. It was revealed in numerous articles that he was abusing prescription drugs, and was not functioning anywhere near normal. It was sad to read of someone who [...]

Some Things Never Change

Astoundingly, in this day and age, after all the Jews have suffered, they have the audacity to engage in religious persecution. Court hears Messianic Jews’ suit against Beersheba chief rabbi It seems that the Chief Rabbi and the orthodox Jews of Beersheba are no better than the Jews of the 1st century who persecuted the Christians then.

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.
