  • How a Christian Hates and God Does not

    The following is a comment I received on Substack and my response. This shows the ingnorance and love of ‘hatred’ that cause many Christians to simply ignore the truth of scripture: Comment from a person who loves ‘hate’: Just because God is love does not mean He is incapable of hate, God is love but He…

  • Does the God of Love Really Hate Esau?

    The following is an open response to a person named Lyle that made specific comments on my substack. I summarize his position and statements within my response: God’s Condescension — Lyle’s Fundamental Misunderstanding of Divine Language Lyle, a huge part of your confusion comes from treating every figurative description of God as if it were…

  • Is God a Partial Savior?

    The following is an open letter to Lyle based on our substack correspondance: Subject: On “All,” Election, the Lake of Fire, and the Finished Work of Christ Hey Lyle, Thanks for taking the time to respond. I know this isn’t a small topic, so I’ll try to engage what you actually said and not a…

  • The Salvation of All: What ‘Especially’ and ‘All’ really mean

    The Salvation of All: What “Especially” Really Means Let’s talk about one small word that religion regularly misunderstands: “especially.”It’s a word most second graders could define — yet somehow, theologians and church traditions get it completely wrong when reading 1 Timothy 4:10. Let’s warm up with a few simple examples: Now, what do these sentences actually mean?Does…

  • Christianity Stops too Early — Paul shows how the Story Actually Ends!

    God Creates All and Saves All The apostle Paul makes a bold statement in Colossians 1:25, saying that he was entrusted with a ministry “to complete the word of God.” But how could Paul “complete” God’s word when some other New Testament letters were written after his? The answer lies not in chronology but in revelation.…

  • Religion Teaches Heaven, Paul Teaches Something Far Bigger

    From Corruption to Incorruption: God’s Irresistible Transformation(The Caterpillar and the Butterfly: Paul’s Proof of Universal Resurrection) There was once a caterpillar who refused to become a butterfly.“No, I don’t want to fly,” he said. “I’m happy crawling through the dirt. I don’t want wings or colors—I’d rather stay a worm.” But no matter how stubborn…

  • The Garbage Basket of Universalism

    The following is a substack comment and my response to that comment: Comment: Universalism is a false doctrine that ignores most of the words of Jesus . Those verses show God’s desire and provision for all to be saved, not that everyone will be saved. God wants all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), but…

  • What Can We Give to God that is not Already His?

    Salvation: God’s Work Alone, Not Ours I often hear people say things like, “You must repent,” or “You must choose,” or “You must have faith” for the cross of Christ to apply to you. These statements sound spiritual, but they carry a dangerous assumption — that our actions somehow make Christ’s work effective. Scripture says otherwise. The truth is this: we are…

  • Prayer Amid Struggles of a ‘Snatching Away’ Hope While Living Everyday Life

    Father, I believe You. I believe that You are the Potter and I am the clay, and that every detail of my life—past, present, and future—is in Your hands. You have written all my days before even one came to be. You are not reacting to me; You are forming me. And yet… I confess,…

  • When Did God Give us Free Will?

    When Did God Give Us Free Will? Scripture’s Answer: Never 1. God Wrote Our Story Before It Began (Psalm 139:16) David declares:“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” From the womb, before our first breath, every detail of…
