The Pattern and John 4:23-24
Clipped from Bible Q-n-A #257
The only way to worship in "spirit and truth" is if there is a pattern for worship that we can follow. There is! It's the New Testament.
Jesus said the kind of worshippers God wants are those that will worship Him in "spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24). "Spirit" refers to our attitude in worship. That is, we must worship God from a heart of love and devotion - free from ulterior motives. "Truth" refers to following the divinely inspired instructions for how God wants to be worshipped. Jesus said that the truth by which we are sanctified is the word of God, "Your word is truth" (John 17:17). So, if there is no clearly defined pattern for worship in the word of God, the word that "is truth," then how could we possibly worship God in truth? This passage, among many others, proves that we must have a divinely-inspired pattern that we can understand and follow. That divinely-inspired pattern that we must follow is the Bible, the inspired word of God.
Bible Q-n-A 290 Clip: Peter's First 2 Sermons (Acts 2-3) Destroy Premillennialism!
Premillennialists say that when Christ came to establish His kingdom, He wasn't able to because the Jews rejected Him. Premillennialism teaches that Christ instituted the church as a "plan B" until He could return to establish His Millennial Kingdom on earth. Premillennialism maintains that the Old Testament Kingdom prophecies have not yet been fulfilled and there are no Old Testament prophecies of the church. That's weird, because Peter, an inspired apostle of Christ, didn't seem to know that in his first two recorded sermons (Acts 2-3). Either Premillennialism is true and Peter, an inspired apostle of Christ, was wrong, or Peter, an inspired apostle of Christ, was right and Premillennialism is a made up false man-made doctrine. It can't be both!

Bible Q-n-A 289 Clip: Does Galatians 3:28 Nullify Gender Roles in the Church?
It seems like people are trying to find loopholes in God's word! As clear as the Bible is about gender roles, people try to find ways to nullify the clear teaching of Scripture. This satanic use of Galatians 3:28 is a prime example.

Bible Q-n-A #266: Let's Try This Again, again...
Six months ago I posted 12 questions for Brent to answer in our discussion of the AD 70 doctrine. After six months he has still failed to even try to answer any of them. Yet he continues to post comments on Bible Q-n-A ep. 255 saying that I need to make my first affirmative argument. I already posted a sermon video for that purpose and he rejected it as not a valid affirmative argument. Here is the link to that same video and two more, take your pick or respond to all three. I don't really care.
When Christ Returns: https://youtu.be/KCLRJbAB27c
The Resurrection from the Dead, pt. 1: https://youtu.be/ogQ3iwFDkx4
The Resurrection from the Dead, pt. 2: https://youtu.be/otDFelI2TaU
He can either answer my questions or go away but he doesn't get to tell me how I have to continue this discussion. He can complain about it and say I'm not doing it right but he cannot demand that I conform to his expectations. So, let's try this again. Answer these questions or go away and stop crying about me not playing by your rules.

The Lunacy of Skeptics
Sometimes people get so enraged in their attacks against biblical Christianity that I don't think they even know what they're saying. This comment is a great example of that.
