My Bible Study Aid's Blog,  has completely different information than this site, and many of my readers have bookmarked both sites, and enjoy going back and forth between the two .   If you have never checked it out, now might be a good time to visit  BIBLE STUDY AIDS
 
 
This new series is found on the Science and the Bible page, and  features the results of an intense study on Biblical nutrition I conducted in 1993, with the idea of publishing a book about it.   This presents information gleaned from classroom notes, I took in a Bible and Science class by Dr. Henry Morris, Founder of The Creation Research Institute.  I've added much newer information and a couple of new Charts  dealing with the ecosystem of Eden and the Edenic hydroponic plumbing.   This is some really interesting stuff.  Check it out  on the Science and  Bible Page.

This New Dietary Pyramid by Harvard School of Public Health agrees with the Bible!  It's about time that Science starts agreeing with what God has been saying for 5,000 years!   This is part of a new series.

I just got this email from Fellowship Church in Grapevine Texas, Pastor Ed Young, and I thought you might want to know that HBO is visiting the Fellowship church to find out how to have better and "Bigger Sex" whatever that means?   Young is the preacher who made national news by preaching his Sunday Sermon in a King size bed from twhere the pulpit used to be.  He was in the sack in front of the church to teach his people that Christ died to give us Better sex!  I think Jesus really needs this to be the message of every church.  Who needs the gospel, when you can have more sex?  Here's the email...


HBO Documentary - Ed Young talks about SEX Thursday, March 3 | 7:00 | Fellowship Grapevine Campus

SEX - For such a small word, it has an amazing amount of power and control in our lives. Sadly, in our world we’ve downgraded its impact and minimized its meaning.

This Thursday, March 3 at 7:00pm, Pastor Ed Young will have the opportunity to share God’s BIG TRUTH about BIG SEX with an international audience. HBO’s award winning team will be here at Fellowship Church Grapevine to film a documentary about sex and society. This is our chance to unite together as a church and allow God to connect HIS Truth to this topic once and for all!

I'm sure Jesus is really happy about this HBO special.  Maybe a few more thousand people will join the Fellowship Church after this!   Just what Christ needs more people coming to church for sex!
 
 
I have compiled 3 historic documents, which show three different viewpoints on the Role of Women in the Church as it relates to ministry.  These are very important historic documents, the first shows the historic Presbyterian view.  The second the Historic Baptist View, and the Third what I consider to be the correct view,  which is also a historic Baptist view.  If the role of women seems puzzling to you, or if Paul's words for women to keep silence in church, throw you into a tail spin, then you must read all three of these papers.  You cannot come to any sort of Scriptural or reasoned position, if you do not have all  the facts.  Here, I have brought together, three of the most respected Scholars in history,  discussing from the Bible, and from careful exegesis using the original Biblical  Greek, what the scriptures are talking about.  Please visit my Pastor and Church Page, and go down to the three articles which have a WARNING preceding them.  Read the warning, so you don't become offended, before you have the facts,  then read and study all three papers with a Bible and notepad.   I believe this will enable you to come to a reasoned and informed conclusion, and if you pray for illumination, the Holy Spirit will shed light on this, so you will be comfortable, no matter which position you take about the role and ministry of women in the Body of Christ.   Click here to visit that page.
 
 
On the doctrine page you will notice a new letter which is a historic Baptist circulating letter from 1857.  It was customary back then for groups of Baptist churches, called associations,  to circulate doctrinal statements among the various pastors, who would then bring them to their individual churches, at their pastoral discretions.  Baptist's have historically resisted any form of outside ecclesiastical interference from bodies outside the local church.  The local assembly has always been considered autonomous and self governing.  So these circulation letters, far from being some sort of ecclesiastical imposistion on local congregations, were actually a high form of interaction, cooperation and fellowship between churches of like fath and order.  It is kind of of a uniquely Baptist solution to interchurch cooperation and fellowship without inpinging on the local churches authority.   Actually the whole affair is really quite Biblical,  take the example of Pauls circulating Epistles. The went from church to church, with the intent that their content would bless all of the individual congregations in individual ways.  Now I know I'm talking about inspired letters in the case of Paul.  But there is some validity in the methodology none the less.  At any rate, I think Christian history has a lot to teach us, and I think the conciseness and clarity of this Historic Baptist Statement of Doctrine and Practice makes it an excellent choice as material that still needs to be circulated among the present day Baptist Churches.  Truth never changes.

If you have not heard, I have just finished a very long and tedious process of bringing the great John Bunyan's original poster...the first Theological chart ever made... to new life.  It was no easy task to retain all of John Bunyan's original elements,  but you can be assured...NOTHING HAS BEEN LEFT OUT.  A copy of his fabulous original "Map showing the Order and Causes of Salvation and Damnation" has hung for almost 40 years on my Library Wall.  Bunyan's 350 year old masterpiece, is what inspired me to start making Bible and Theological charts in the first place!  So I wanted to do something really special.  I wanted to bring Bunyan's masterpiece poster, to people, who think the only thing he ever did was write "Pilgrim's Progress".  Well, guess what?  It's finally arrived.  and it's a beauty!  Check it out.

Here's what the original that is hanging on my wall looks like.. This chart has never been available in color, and you need a magnifying glass to read it.

This is the Full Color Giant Sized remake in updated English with missing verses supplied. This was a huge task, but I think Bunyan would have approved.


REASONABLY PRICED.  Available on 7 different media, and in 5 sizes all the way up to colossal.   We are the worlds only source for this poster, and one of the only people anywhere offering these wonderful theological and Biblical charts in giant room sized editions.  Most printing becomes extremely pixillated at big sizes, but my special vector process assures that your posters will be easy to read at any size.

Most people are not aware of all the things I offer on my various websites and Blogs,  so I wanted to give an encapsulated rundown along with links. 

RevEarlJackson.com is my Theological and Biblical Study Site.  It is my Biggest Site, packed with article, videos, free stuff,  Bible Studies, Videos, Commentaries and lots of free downloads.  Click Here to Go to the Home Page

Bible Notebook Blog is part of the Rev Earl Jackson site,  but it contains posts that I make in a blog format, which are often about other new materials being offered, or about things that I want to say, that don't require lengthy articles or exposition.  Lot's of devotional type stuff is in here for you to explore.  You are already here so there is nothing to click.  This blog is available as a syndicated blog through NetworkedBlogs on Facebook and many other channels.  Also as a direct RSS feed on the right if you have a feed reader.

Bible Study Aids is another blog site available both syndicated and through RSS feed.  I tend to restrict my posts on that site to more devotional and shorter posts about Theological issues.  The primary purpose for the Bible Study Aids Site is to feature my commercially available materials specifically the Bible and Theological Charts which I spent so many years designing,  and which are still being designed and offered in sizes from personal use hand-out size to gigantic 78x52 Classroom wall charts.  The charts have always been my most popular feature, and now they are being used in Bible Colleges and Seminary classrooms around the world.  Because I consider the charts as a unique ministry which God has given me,  I have them priced at the very lowest possible price,  I make hardly nothing on them,  but that's OK.  I want them to be used by God to further the work of His kingdom, and to build up the Body of Christ.   My blessings do not come from the paltry pennies I make on these things,  but rather I am blessed,  when I hear from a foreign missionary on a distant foreign field,  who uses the charts to teach the Word of God to indigenous people in lands where Bible materials are scarce.    That is a great reward indeed for the years of hard work I put into developing these unique resources.  

In addition to the charts,  most people are not aware of my 100% customizable prayer magnets which cost $2.95 ea,  and which can have any name put on them, which you want, at no additional charge.  These attractive magnetic prayer reminders are great to pass out to your prayer warriors at church, especially when you are praying for a very difficult case.  Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.  And 25 or 30 people with The name Dave, or Suzy etc.  on their refrigerator door will surely get some great results!  Click Here to Visit Bible Study Aids

There is a massive and intense dichotomy between Grace and Legalism in the New Testament.  The two are in direct antithesis to each other,  yet,  for some strange reason, and in some weird way,  they are wedded together in many so called Bible-believing and Reformed churches all across America.  Of course, there is no contradiction in the Bible.  Churches that preach and teach salvation by Grace,  (if they have such contradictions in themselves, that they would at the same time teach and preach sanctification by works),  derive their contradictions not from the Bible,  but from traditions and teachings of men. 

New Covenant theology is intent on teaching that Grace is Grace 100% of the time, and that at no point does salvation, or any part of salvation,  leave the hands of God, and get transferred to the hands of men.  God leaves nothing so important to the capricious will and mind of mere men.   Grace says that we are totally unfit and unable to save ourselves, or to  contribute anything at all to our salvation.  The Cross of Christ,  is God's great monument to the great centrality of Grace,  which ensures that we should not even try to add anything to the work of Christ!   Christ did what He did to save us, which was everything;  because we can do nothing to save ourselves.   To add anything to the Cross,  is to strip the Savior of His Infinite Worth,  and it is to diminish His once-for-all-time sacrifice.   It is finished,  means exactly that.  Done.  Fini.  The End.  

I just put an important article on the site which emphasizes  these realities,  and will clarify our thinking on legalism vs grace.  Please add it to your downloads, and save it in your theological folder.  This is good stuff,  which we all need to be reminded of often.

As you know I make no apologies about being a Baptist.  I am proud of the Baptist heritage, and I see the many unique Baptist distinctives as being, in fact, Biblical distinctives.  History does not lie, and the truth is, that Baptist suffered intense persecution and death because of Bible beliefs that we considered to be of utmost importance.   Many people today think that the only difference between Baptist's and Presbyterians is our beliefs about Baptism.  That is a gross misrepresentation.  So many of our beliefs are diametrically opposed to that of "Covenant Theology Infant Sprinkling Sacramental-ism",  that time almost forbids any sort of quick comparison.  Suffice it to say, that Presbyterians did not drown Baptist's to death just over our differences regarding Baptism.  They recognized clearly the threat of our Biblical Theological System to their Confessional modified form of Roman Catholicism.  I don't mean to be harsh,  but Baptist died at the hands of  Presbyterians, because our Bible based doctrines condemned their half-truths derived from John Calvin.   John Calvin did a great service to the world in bringing much needed light from the Bible in a time of great spiritual darkness, but his dependency upon Augustinian Catholicism brought too much Catholic baggage along with the reformation.  I just put a new post on the Doctrine page about one area of distinctive Baptist doctrine,  which the Presby's reject, because of their close intertwining with the baptism doctrines of Romans 6.  If you think there is no difference between Baptist's and Presbyterians,  you need to read this article.   CLICK HERE
