Heresy and the Challenge to Elohim Thrones

In Jude we read of evil men crept in unawares, men who pollute the Church and corrupt its life and message. How do they do this?

Jude tells us they promote the 'way of Cain' who killed out of malice, pride, and a desire for standing before men and God. They also fall into the 'error of Balaam' who manipulated the word and corrupted the office of prophet. He hired out his services as he sought financial gain. And Jude also refers to the 'gainsaying of Core' who opposed Moses and sought to usurp his authority. His aspirations and actions served to subvert to the divine oracle.

Distorting Revelation 3: Theology Overriding Scripture (II)

Consider Colossians 1 – Paul speaks of their faith in Christ, love of the saints, the hope laid up for them in heaven which was heard in the gospel, which has come to them and brought forth fruit (specifically in them). He says they have known the grace of God in truth and that they have love in the Spirit. He exhorts them to knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual understanding, to walk worthy of the Lord, fruitful in every good work. Once again he speaks of them increasing in knowledge – as these concepts of work, fruit, and knowledge go together.

Will Christ ever spew lukewarm Christians out of His mouth?

Dean Davis says no, because he believes in Eternal Security and as such the implied warning is merely hypothetical, a case of hyperbole, a warning to those who aren't actually part of the Church but pretend to be.

New Covenant Hermeneutics: Psalm 2

Psalm 2 is a favourite among Postmillennialists. It speaks of the kings of the Earth setting themselves up in opposition to God and His Anointed – a clear anticipation of the coming Christ.

Their nations are given to Christ as His inheritance and He will break them with a rod of iron. The nations are consequently warned and instructed to kiss the Son, in other words to submit to and reverence Him.

Wisdom, Bitterness and Blessed Hope

As the years go by I've seen apostasy, experienced betrayals, watched people drift away, seen people exposed as something other than what they were thought to be.

It's both sad and startling. People you once thought were so solid turn out to be houses built on sand, seeds sprouting on rocky ground. I've watched others drowned by foolish and hurtful lusts, choked by weeds and many who live by lying to themselves about everything they do and the whole of their motivations.
