The Deity of Christ Revealed In the LORD’S Forgiveness of Sin The Jewish leaders understood that none but God could forgive sin. So when this man called Jesus, this perfect God Man, forgave sins in their midst — they understood clearly that He was affirming His deity, and His co-equality with the Father. This infuriated…

Election & Predestination: “…And A Leper Came To Him…”
“…And A Leper Came To Him…” Matthew 11:28 Christ said “Come to Me, all those laboring and being burdened, and I will give you rest.” Mark 1: 40-42 “And a leper came to Him, begging Him, and falling on his knees to Him, and saying to Him, If You desire, You are able to make…
The Testimony of Christ: Not “Their” Testimony
NOT “THEIR” TESTIMONY Mark 1:34 “And He healed many [great numbers] who had illness of various diseases.

Pharisaism: MacArthur on Theological Orthodoxy (Right Doctrine) and Pharisaism
MacArthur on Theological Orthodoxy (Right Doctrine) and Pharisaism “The Pharisees were in no sense guilty of an undue emphasis on theological orthodoxy. If anything, their problem was the opposite. They weren’t careful enough in seeking to understand the Scriptures. In fact, they set Scripture aside in favor of their own rote traditions. Tradition, not theology,…
Biblical Separation: There’s no two ways about it….
There’s no two ways about it…. Syncretism, (broad) ecumenism, (alternative religious) “inclusiveness,” and (acceptive) tolerance are all antithetical to true religion.
