An article directed toward Calvinism

Fallacies almost all Bible Students make
by Hershel Lee Harvell Jr

This is an easy to understand synopsis of the most common errors of Biblical interpretation.

Should we preach the Law
to bring people to Christ?

A concise article by Peter Ditzel explaining why we should not try to use the law for evangelistic purposes.  It was never intended for that.  An explanation of Gal. 3:22-25.

How to Learn Biblical Truth?

Scripture Twisting

Only one verse talks about this practice that is
extremely common today.  Beware of twisting the Scriptures.

Exegetical Fallacies

Common mistakes every Bible Student must avoid.

Notable Quote

Discernment is not a matter of simply telling
the difference between what is right and wrong;
rather, it is the difference between right and almost right!
-Charles Spurgeon

Progressive Revelation and The Old Testament

Understanding the role of progressive revelation in the Old Testament

The New Testament Interprets The Old Testament
-Klass Runia

Klass Runia was one of the greatest modern Dutch Theologians,
and his analysis is very poignant and precise.  This needs
to be studied by every student of Hermeneutics.

Notable Quote

It is always destructive
to add anything to Christ.
-Richard Sibbes

Crucial Thoughts of "Law in The New Covenant"
-Jon Zens

While I generally do not agree with every particular of Mr Zen's Theology, I think this is one of the best treatments of this subject of the question of "the Law's validity in the New Covenant?"  Generally speaking Covenant Theology does a horrible job of discussing the Mosaic Law.  In fact Covenant Theology's misinterpretations are the direct cause of the Re-constructionist Dominion-ism errors which are alarmingly gripping Reformed and Evangelical churches.  This study merits careful study.

Notable Quote

The man who thinks he can know the Word of God by mere intellectual study is greatly deceived. Spiritual truth is spiritually discerned.
-Samuel Chadwick
