Do you know who Greg L. Bahnsen is? Some people think he is the greatest Christian apologist of the 1900s. Some people don't. #bahnsen #apologetics

Does the Westminster Confession of Faith, the greatest of all Reformed Confessions, teach that men have wills free from God's absolute predestination? Watch this video and find out! #predestination #freewill

The Bible forbids us to pray to Mary, to worship Mary, but the Roman Catholics love this idolatry.

R.W. Thompson tells us about this index, as he quotes from the book History of the Inquisition by the Rev. Father Paul Servita (1552-1623). Also known as Paulo Sarpi, this Roman Catholic prelate and canon lawyer was extremely critical of medieval scholasticism and many papal traditions. Sarpi was in favor of republican liberties, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and a free press, and he was also a champion of separation of church and state. Some thought him to to be a crypto-Protestant. Sarpi would survive several assassination attempts from other Roman Catholics, being stabbed 3 times in one attack. Instead of being imprisoned, his attackers were given protection and a pension by the viceroy of Naples for their effort to eliminate opposition to the Papacy. Sarpi's major work was The History of the Council of Trent (published in 1619). With that being said, the following quote from Thompson elaborates on the Index Expurgatorious: #Index #Inquisition

Romanism teaches that kings rule by divine right: no bishop, no king. Popery maintains that kings rule by the approval of the Roman Pontiff. Papists underscore the significance of Charlemagne being crowned by Pope Leo III on 25 December 800—thus becoming what would later be called emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Romanists think this event demonstrates that kings derive their authority from the Papacy and rule by divine right on the authority of the Roman Pontiff. The idea of this popery was that Pope Leo III had transferred the empire from the Greeks to the Germans, and so implying that the pope's successors had the power to make such changes. In this scheme, the king's authority to rule is dependent upon the Roman Pontiff. Much of history argues that this coronation was illegal and done without the approval of Charlemagne, who was said to be furious and understood the subversive implications. #Americanism #Jesuits #Calvinism

Do you believe in the doctrine of Common Grace? Puritan and Calvinist Thomas Goodwin didn't. Goodwin thought it was an Arminian heresy. Watch the video, as Mr. Collier shows you what Goodwin, who was one of the divines at the famous Westminster Assembly, said about the Arminian teaching. #Arminianism #commongrace #thomasgoodwin

One of the warning signs that Presbyterians in the United States no longer understood the implications of justification by faith alone came in the year 1903. It was in that year that the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. took exception to the Westminster Confession of Faith's teaching that the pope of the Roman Catholic Church is Antichrist. Before that 1903 revision, the Westminster Confession of Faith taught: #antichrist #jesuits #calvinism

Calvinism is the only system that can answer the so-called "problem of evil." This is because Calvinism is the logical, grammatical, contextual, and literal interpretation of the Bible alone. In other words, Calvinism is Biblical Christianity. Any attempt to answer the problem of evil apart from Scripture alone will necessarily fail. Consider nominal Presbyterian R.C. Sproul (1939-2017). In his 1986 book Chosen By God, Sproul attempts to use his unbiblical doctrine of "compatibilism" to answer the problem of evil. Compatibilism idiotically claims that men have wills free from God's determination, while never demonstrating this belief from the Bible alone. What makes compatibilism different from Pelagianism, for example, is that compatibilists also claim that God predestinates all things. Rather than admit the obvious, that if God predestinates all things, then the wills of men are not free but predestinated—compatibilists say that God's predestination of all things and human free will are logically compatible. Of course, they can never demonstrate this, especially from the Bible, so they must, when all their braying is done, appeal to mystery (i.e., irreconcilable paradox). One of the logical consequences of adopting the human tradition of compatibilism is that compatibilists cannot answer the problem of evil correctly. Their answer is an appeal to irrationalism—asserting that God is a self-contradicting and unreasonable Being (utter blasphemy). Such an assertion further implies that Christianity in general, and the Bible in particular, is false. This is Sproul's position, and it is wrong. Calvinism, actual Calvinism, teaches that God predestinates all things, and that no man has ever had a will free from God's determination. Men do not have free will, for the Sovereign God of the Bible has eternally decreed whatsoever comes to pass (Proverbs 16:1, Isaiah 46:9-11, Ephesians 1:11). That men have free will from God's predestination is not found in the Bible, for the Bible never teaches such a myth. If something is predestinated by God, then that something is not free but determined by God. Jehovah predestinates all things, man's will is something, and so man's will is predestinated by Jehovah. Simply put, God's absolute predestination of all things is logically incompatible with the myth of human free will. The Bible's teaching on God's absolute predestination of all things is the only correct answer to the problem of evil. We will see John Calvin provide this answer below, but for now, let's see how Sproul failed to meet the challenge of the problem of evil. Sproul writes the following: Calvinism sees Adam sinning by his own free will, not by divine coercion. (Chosen By God, Chapter 4, page 97)

Some wicked people today, some claiming to be Reformed, idiotically claim that God is only with a Christian when the Christian is physically present in the assembly of an institutional church meeting on the Lord’s Day. Simply put, if you don’t join and attend the local Presbyterian or Dutch Reformed church in your town, you are not a Christian. This version of justification by faith and works also teaches that if you do not have a local Presbyterian or Reformed church to join or attend in your area, then you are not a Christian. These heretics claim that you must move to a place where one of their churches exist, join it, pay tithes (give them money), obey its elders, and never leave in order to become justified, that is, saved from your sins. They will go as far as to say that if you are one of the elect, you will find a way to move to their location and join their cult. #church #salvation

You cannot believe someone is infallible in matters of faith and practice without also worshipping and serving that individual. If you think the Pope of Rome is infallible, then he will become your god. The pope is Antichrist. #pope #jesuit #Bible

If you have recently heard the claims that the Bible teaches that there are all kinds of cryptozoological things running around and that these things came from fallen angels mating with women, then you need to watch this video. The Bible teaches no such thing. #michaelheiser #Giants #mermaids #Nephilim #spooks

In this video, Presbyterian author Monty Collier discusses why you should get the John Allen translation of John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion." It's the best English translation. #Calvinism #John Calvin #Institutes

In this video, Mr. Collier speaks of how Calvinism gave us our constitutional democratic republic and Bill of Rights. #republican #Calvinism

In this video, Mr. Collier refutes P. Andrew Sandlin's book "Wrongly Dividing the Word: Overcoming The Law-Gospel Distinction." In Sandlin's book, the Federal Vision heretic rejects basic Calvinism, while he assaults the teachings of the Protestant Reformation. Federal Vision is a heresy that rejects justification by faith alone and asserts justification by a "faith-filled obedience," also known as justification by covenant faithfulness. The leading champion of the Federal Vision heresy is Douglas Wilson, a good friend of P. Andrew Sandlin and James White. #FederalVision #AndrewSandlin #Calvinism

In this video, Mr. Collier argues that the Bible is logical by nature, and, as a result, the Law and the Gospel, as well as their distinction, is also logical. Check it out. Here's a link to Mr. Collier's book on Sola Scriptura: https://www.amazon.com/20-Simple-Lessons-Sola-Scriptura/dp/B0BXNK58RS/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2N74E60CFREMF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pS1oyyb-Erag19NFvcVMwxHJ_7xg1FPC1Hl_D1lHtFA2_K6GXW2woI9aR8OPCwYribL4fXYXo-faeELultEjoatisYj-iZUJV5vhsD8QumCL62hH4eTucV4piuLK3CD-S2b96oPaccrFwthOudhYzwcgS3b5jHLYPrS-COHWO3R8lC_OVYa4hYxxSVy-fLToPiRRf91zpfCiUxDQxEUOsdEelqol_W34R_B_qMcanLo.lYOtC-iIheF-efEObT_3wMJU3mzA7D8HaZVK59uoSL0&dib_tag=se&keywords=monty+l.+collier&qid=1715117784&sprefix=%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-2

In this video, Mr. Collier, a Presbyterian author, teaches you an important lesson in basic Calvinism: how to spot the truth. Can you identify the truth? If not, you better watch this video.

When we compare the righteousness and knowledge of God to our own, then one thing becomes crystal clear: Jehovah's knowledge & righteousness is far superior to our own, for it is all powerful and able to save us from our sins! #Calvinism #Jesus

The Bible alone is the Word of God, and it prohibits queers from getting married, for homosexuality is a prohibited form of adultery. In this video, the great German Protestant Reformer from the 1500s—Philip Melanchthon—makes his argument from Scripture that sodomite marriage is an abomination before God.

Because we have many heretics running around today pretending to be Calvinists, while also teaching the heresy of justification by faith and works (Lordship Salvation), some people have wrongly concluded that Calvinism teaches Lordship Salvation. It does not. Calvinism teaches justification by faith alone, by God's grace alone, according to Scripture alone.

What is the true temple of God? Is it found in Jerusalem? If you cannot answer these questions correctly, you need to watch this video.

Common grace is an Arminian concept utilized by advocates of human free will and synergism. Common Grace advocates teach that God purposes to save the reprobates in a decretal sense, and this is why Calvinism rejects Arminianism. Because the free willers chose the term 'free offer of the gospel' to represent their synergism, some think the old Protestants and Reformers may have taught this nonsense when they see them say that God freely offered the Gospel to this group or that group. Calvin never taught that God desired the salvation of the reprobates in a decretal sense, as Common Grace proponents teach.

This is an important teaching in Calvinism that is rarely heard today.

Biblical Christianity emphasizes the importance of words and their meanings, rather than images. By contrast, evil religions, such as Roman Catholicism, emphasize images, rather than words. The devil's idea is to dumb people down by moving them away from reading the Bible. This is why the Pope of Rome, who is Antichrist, places so much importance on sensationalism, rosaries, images to pray to, statues, and other idolatries.

Systematic theology requires logical consistency and coherency. This is essential for understanding Sola Scriptura and verbal plenary inspiration. Presbyterian author Monty Collier explains in this video, then shows you how to spot hucksters who attack this Biblical truth.
