What's the Big Deal with King James Onlyism?

Sam Gipp has recorded a very nicely done video that is simply filled with errors--errors historical, errors logical, errors factual, errors biblical. Dr. White begins the process of setting the record straight.

- Is it possible to know for sure that you are going to Heaven?

(1 John 5:6-15 ESV)

This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

President Obama on Christianity

President Obama is clearly NOT a Christian which is evidenced by his rejection tha Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

In a interview he was asked

Falsani: Do you believe in heaven?

OBAMA: Do I believe in the harps and clouds and wings?

Falsani: A place spiritually you go to after you die?

OBAMA: What I believe in is that if I live my life as well as I can, that I will be rewarded. I don’t presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing.

So as long as you live a "good life"?

Scripture is clear that NOBODY has lived a "good life" because we have all sinned against God

(Romans 3:10-12 ESV)

as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”

(Romans 3:23-24 ESV)

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

The good news is that we are Justified through faith in Jesus Christ and trusting in his work on the cross! To trust in your own goodness and "good works" is to reject the work of Christ on the cross

(Hebrews 2:14-18 ESV)

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Scripture is clear that we are justified by faith and not our own good works!

(Romans 5:1 ESV)

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Romans 4:4-6 ESV)

Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV)

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

(Romans 3:27-28 ESV)

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

We need to pray that our Sovereign God would change our Presidents heart and that he would repent and trust in the gospel of our Lord.

The Grim Reality of the Last Days

(Mark 13:1-13 ESV)

And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to

death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Why George Bryson Won't Debate Anymore

James White does an excellent job debating George Bryson on their debate on Calvinism. John 6:44 is a knock out punch for Calvinism and you see George Bryson tripping all over himself trying to explain the text away

"Deep down in my heart I'm a good person."

Great video on how to share the gospel with those whom think they are "good" people.

Franklin Graham Grilled on MSNBC

This was a frustrating interview to watch. Franklin Graham who normally does a good job in interviews seemed to be tripping all over himself here.

President Obama certainly does not have the worldview or moral values of a Christian. Further more there are videos of Obama mocking the bible and the OT laws. He also went to a church for 20 years that is a mockery of Jesus Christ and his church.

It needs to be noted that Mormonism is not Christian because they reject all of the essentials. They deny that there is only one God, they believe Jesus is a created being and not eternal God. These alone are to put them outside of orthodox Christianity!

A Call for Discernment Session 1 - Dangerous Doctrine

Excellent video giving the background and history of the "Wordof Faith" teachings. Sadly many Christians have bought into these teachings and in so doing have deviated from the truth and the "Word of Faith" preachers encourage greed and Idolatry.



(1 Timothy 6:2-16 ESV)


Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved.
Teach and urge these things. If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

Justin Peters Explains Why Stories of Trips To Heaven Do Not Line up With the Bible

(2 Peter 2:1-10 ESV)

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.
Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones,

Monastery & Rome Crisis

How often do you hear the word ‘holy’ flippantly used in today’s culture? Luther understood the significance of this word. R.C. Sproul expounds on Luther’s inability to reconcile his guilt with God’s holiness through the Roman church’s traditions and practices.

"I don't want God telling me what to do."

(Romans 3:10-20 ESV)

as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
“Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
in their paths are ruin and misery,
and the way of peace they have not known.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

The Mystery of Trinity - Monotheism - R C Sproul [Lecture 1]

The Mystery of the Trinity

Many of us, when asked about the Trinity, unknowingly offer heretical answers. Yet a proper understanding of this doctrine is essential to the health and welfare of the church.

In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul gives a sweeping overview of this important doctrine, explaining difficult concepts, exploring biblical teaching, and defining what the term mystery means.

Kenneth Hagin & Kenneth Copeland - Pentecostal Bedlam

(2 Timothy 4:1-8 ESV)

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

"He made one enemy after another, suffered horribly for it, and was abandoned by his friends. But Paul pressed on, compelled by the good news of Jesus Christ. He didn’t lighten up the message, and neither should you. But precisely what is the message you need to understand and be ready to proclaim? Find out in John MacArthur’s new study The Gospel According to Paul.

What would motivate you to make enemies wherever you go and endure continual suffering until, ultimately, you face amartyr’s death?

The apostle Paul went to the extremes he did—had the passion he did—because he knew the God who gives undeserved mercy to the rebel sinner. Paul would not equivocate on the good news of Christ. He could not soften the edges of God’s difficult demands to make the gospel appeal to a wider audience. He didn’t lighten up the message, and neither should you.

But precisely what is the message you need to understand and be ready to proclaim? Are therediscrepancies between what Paul and the other apostles taught? Between Paul’s teaching and the Lord’s? What difference can grappling with The Gospel According to Paul make in your life? Find out in John MacArthur’s compelling study."

No One Can Separate Us

Romans 8:31-35

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32- He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33- Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34- Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Is The Original New Testament Lost?

A Dialogue with Dr. Bart Ehrman & Dr. Daniel Wallace

"An evening of scholarly dialogue on the origins, the transmission, and the reliability of the New Testament. Do we have the original manuscripts? Can we trust the copies passed down to us? How accurate is our New Testament today? These questions and more were discussed by two top-tier NT scholars. Both Dr. Ehrman and Dr. Wallace presented their respective positions before opening the floor for a time of Q&A"

Poor Sound Quality

Jesus Our Sovereign Savior by Steven J. Lawson

Wonderful sermon on Gods grace and goodness!

(Ephesians 1:3-14 ESV)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Refuting Compromise-(Dr. Jonathan Sarfati, Ph.D.

"A six day, young earth understanding of Genesis is the only one that comes from the text itself, which is why the rest of Scripture interprets it that way. Long-age views are a modern aberration that comes from imposing outside ideas of uniformitarian "science" upon the text. See how compromising views render the Bible meaningless to a dying world. You'll be encouraged and energized to hear there is no need for compromise and that there are answers. The evidence for Creation and the Bible's account of history is all around us if only we know how to look for it, and Jonathan will show you how to do just that!"

Wretched: Driscoll, Jakes, MacDonald and an Elephant

Amazing to see James Macdonald who speaks against "Word Faith Theology" and publicly call it "sickening" a "distortion of the gospel" also it is "False teaching" and yet still invite T.D. Jakes to the Elephant Room and welcome Jakes as a "brother" in Christ even though he blatantly denies the doctrine of the Trinity and teaches a prosperity gospel.

New Birth Crowns Eddie Long as King

This video truly is amazing. The fact that any Pastor would allow the church service where people have come to worship God and give thanks to turn into a show where it is all about how great he is absolutely stuns me.

Eddie Long recently settled a law suit out of court where at least 2 young men say they were coerced into a sexual relationship with him. His wife has divorced him and he settled out of court. The point is that with all these accusations and in light of his recent divorce it amazes me that he would spend a church service to build his ego about how great he is.

This is why we need more biblical theology in the church friends. When you have this man centered Christianity instead of God centered this is what you come up with!

After taking much heat from the Jewish community Eddie Long has issued a statement apologizing for going to far and offending several people.

We Preach Christ Crucified - Dr. Steven J. Lawson

(1 Corinthians 1:18-31 ESV)


For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
