False Christian teachings, trends….
Mat 7:14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
This post contains a 10-minute reading from Calvin’s Commentary on Hebrews 12:4-8: My Son, Despise Not the Chastening of the Lord. It mostly describes appropriate ways to receive chastening from the Lord. Directly below the video are the words of Calvin which were read by the creator of the video, for those who would rather read, and those who would do both; also for easier review of talking points.
Eyebrows were raised when newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) in his first address from the chair reminded the assembled Democratic and Republican members of the House of Representatives that the God of the Bible raised up each one of them for a purpose. “I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night: I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment,” the Louisiana Republican said.
This post contains a very brief recap of the content of the initial 4 posts on this topic, then critiques paragraphs 17-20 of the introduction to the Baha’i Book of Certitude written by Shoghi Effendi, grandson of Baha’u’llah, founder of the Baha’i Faith. The purpose of these posts is to show that Effendi’s accounts of biblical passages do not resemble those in the Bible. He fabricated and twisted Bible scriptures, in most instances, to support his purpose….
The two very short excerpts below discuss a Reformed Christian view of end times opposed to the Dispensational views that are seemingly part of Christian social views on the faith [views floating around in the social realm that go largely unexamined]. The title of the first video at Ligonier: What view did Calvin and other Reformers take on eschatology? Title of second video at Ligonier: How does Reformed theology understand the future of Israel? And how does this view compare to the theology of dispensationalism? [Portions of Galatians 3 and Romans 4 are pasted in below videos]
This post contains a 20-minute sermon and the transcript from Alistair Begg. He apparently addressed the sermon to college youth. I heard it today before church and thought it to be an excellent sermon that has a lot to say to all age groups, especially the elderly like myself. It is based on Ecclesiastes 12.
This post contains a 24-minute explanation of God’s righteousness, as is proclaimed in scripture, particularly, Romans. Many professors of Christianity do NOT understand what Pastor Hines explains herein. He focused on Romans 3, but also made some general statements about what is contained in the epistle of Romans. He also used the apostle Paul’s presentation of the gospel in light of a couple of statements from Isaiah and Jeremiah to show that salvation is by grace, not keeping the commandments. Video preceded by overview points.
This post has two videos on the Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel and underlying reasons. The initial video by vlogger John Henry provides an overview of actions of each side and a brief description of why Palestinians hate Israel by Dennis Prager; the video closes with a description of how false religion has harmed the world, by John MacArthur. The second video, 8 minutes, by Ben Shapiro, is an overview of the history of the underlying problem.
In the following 8-minute video, Ben Shapiro provides a historical overview of the ongoing problem between Palestinians and Israel. He provided context to the current problem that big media leaves out. If you want the truth then….

This post contains a brief video about how social media algorithms shape user perspectives, behaviors, etc. I previously knew some of the elements that he discussed in his presentation, but he gave me a fuller understanding of the aims of these tech companies.
