ABOUT THE BLOG
What is this blog ultimately about?
It is about GOD'S WORD to Humanity!
What is it that fuels every one of us in this world? For some it is sports. For some, it is simply work. I don't even know if what I just stated lends itself to fully expressing what I am trying to say. I am talking about that one thing that you keep coming back to repeatedly. That one thing that your conversation always drifts to. For me, it is God's Word. It is the plumb line for our lives. Without the Word of God... the infallible, sovereign, inherent Word of He who created us, we are simply reduced to groping in the dark for any meaningful existence.
The world around us, including all of Christendom, has an opinion about something often based on Dogma... Institutional Doctrine. That being said... in the end, it is all very man-made and greatly lacking biblical truth. Often, just another religious canned opinion parroted by what one has learned from their denomination, [religion], bible college, or seminary that leans into the many "isims" of the world. Such as Calvinism, Arminianism, Catholicism, and many other man-made, man-inspired doctrinal presuppositions that are in theory biblically minded, but often not biblically based. As in contextually, exegetically, and hermeneutically.
​
What I mean by biblically minded is like the subject of truth. There is absolute truth, relative truth, versions of the truth, and then TRUTH!
​
Biblical truth is that story. I do not speak of relative truth (Relativism), but of written, validated, and authenticated truth. We can not have truth without a plumb line. The plumb line is God's Word, and His Word has been under attack since the garden when the serpent said to Eve - "Did God Really Say?" That is what Grace Apologetics 101 is about. Clarifying scripture that so may simply chose to ignore when they either do not understand it or when they choose to believe their orthodoxy dogma instead. Now we would be talking about Eisegesis. The practice of interpreting a text by inserting one's own ideas, biases, or agendas into it.
​
I supposed that we can all be guilty of eisegesis to some extent. But we must be like the Bereans of Acts 17:11.
​
I hope you choose to challenge your thinking, or, may I say, think outside of one's box of personal doctrine! Journey with us and see what "God really did say!" You may find that you will come to find "The Jesus you thought you knew" and maybe what you thought you heard was "Lost in Translation?"

Blessings - Yours in Christ always!
