Apologetical Articles

The scriptures tells us that in the last days that 'many will depart from the faith' and that they will 'accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires' (1 Timothy 4: 1; 2 Timothy 4: 3). And the inevitable result we are told and which we see is that they will turn away from the truth and adhere to lies and falsehoods. It is a sad reality which proves that not every person who attends a service who claims to be a Christ truly is one. It could be that they are innocent or simply trying to sow discord; we may never know truthfully. How is it possible to discern such a thing and correctly identify the issue? While it is true that we may never know the persons heart motive; still there is a chance to call out the error in order to protect others from them as we go along. We can often detect some things which will lend to the bigger picture; and gives us biblical warrant to correct the matter before it is too late.  Here what I want to do is give the br

The religious nature of evolution: The real issue in the creation/evolution debate is not the existence of God. The real issue is the nature of God. To think of evolution as basically atheistic is to misunderstand the uniqueness of evolution. Evolution was not designed as a general attack against theism. It was designed as a specific attack against the God of the Bible, and the God of the Bible is clearly revealed through the doctrine of creation. Obviously, if a person is an atheist, it would be normal for him to also be an evolutionist. But evolution is as comfortable with theism as it is with atheism. An evolutionist is perfectly free to choose any god he wishes, as long as it is not the God of the Bible. The gods allowed by evolution are private, subjective, and artificial. They bother no one and make no absolute ethical demands. However, the God of the Bible is the Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Judge. All are responsible to Him. He has an agenda that conflicts with that of the s

One of the most glaring things to take place in the Islamic world over last few decades is the fact that the man and women would become Muslim will harp on about how devoted they are to the Law of God and yet show compunction to break one or more laws. But there is nothing new their Prophet once said that "a man would enter paradise even if he committed the most serious of sin" so it would no surprise that it is a common for the modern Muslim to break at least or even several at the same time as their Prophet did.  So what is it that I am speaking of? In most interviews or on line testimony we see the follow thing continual being done: Deceit: a sign of bedfellows Let us think this thought for a moment. you are on a show and the best way to show the truthfulness of your new faith is to show the weakness of the prior one. Nothing wrong there at all if it is done properly. What I mean to say is this: if they actually show some familiarity with that which they are speaking on; a

  John MacArthur states: The simple fact of the matter is that all the philosophical fruits of Darwinism have been negative, ignoble, and destructive to the very fabric of society. Not one of the major twentieth-century revolutions led by post-Darwinian philosophies ever improved or ennobled any society. Instead, the chief social and political legacy of Darwinian thought is a full spectrum of evil tyranny with Marx-inspired communism at one extreme and Nietzsche-inspired fascism at the other. The moral catastrophe that has disfigured modern Western society is also directly traceable to Darwinism and the rejection of the early chapters of Genesis.    Battle for the beginning. Pg. 16

  After doing a post on Harry Potter some months ago called  "Harry Potter: a Christ-figure or Satan's ploy" where I considered the series of books and the lead character to see if he demonstrates anything remotely Christ like.  And my conclusion was straight to the point: he is nothing more than a cheap imitation that exhibits more of a satanic bent in more ways than one. While it may be a fascinating read for some; there is nonetheless a real danger for the serious Christian which can be found other works and film of its kind. And the scriptures tell us to be very careful in these matters and we must do just that.  Think of these words: "The naive believes everything, but a sensible man considers his steps. A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is arrogant and careless." (Prov. 14: 15-16). Yes.  We are told to be discerning of what hear and what we read; and not to be taken in by it. We must, at all times, be very careful in what we read.

There is something to be said about this term "miscreant" that is someone who does something  wrong or illegal. Now this does perfectly describe those who do evil things in the land who are therefore being hunted by the Law. Quite right. But what if we have people high up in power who are perfect apt in fitting this term and its description? And I do not ask this question in order that we stir up strife; but rather, that stir up our thinking and correctly discern the times, because we are being led into a danger-zone.  Let me give you two rather poignant examples of what I am concerned with. The first would be the last president; who when running for His second term and lost squarely. He, in his almighty wisdom decided to make up lies concerning the ballot box and voting system. You remember: "it was rigged." This went on for months and months on end even after the new President was officially elected.  Now here is what should have happened; he should have been the

  The Charismatic movement has become widely defined by its unbiblical practices that there is no semblance of what true biblical orthodoxy should be. But even trying to define this malignant mass of corruption can be difficult because it is not a monolithic movement due to it being so wide in what is accepted and yet nothing has ever rejected as being an error by it's proponents. And that is such a sad reality.  But when its critics do critique this movement; they do not accept the correction but instead move the goal posts in order to say "well, that not the circles I have known holds too." And therefore, it is written off as an unfair assessment even if it is truthful in what it states.  Now in his work Strange Fire, John MacArthur sets out to give a balanced and biblical assessment of this movement from its inception to its current day manifestation (Or at least till 2013 when this was written); he goes through what they teach to what they claim as being real legitima

  In evangelicalism today we can see what can be called an undefined blob of something akin to plasticine; when something that the world views as important, it morphs and adapts to fill the apparent void. This is the current method for the church to be seen as if it is doing something before the watching world; and yet, this is dangerous. Instead of it holding to the convictions which has made it a force to be reckoned with; we find that it is all too quick in accommodating. In the past it has always been recognised that the convicting work of the Spirit and the correcting work of the Spirit that has led to the most fundamental signs of new life and new direction. whatever happened to that truth and that reality? Does the church not believe that where the Spirit is active there will lasting effects of change in peoples live and the society at large when they recognise that Christ is King?  It sure seems that those who are seeking a worldly answer are compromising the truth.  Let us tak
