Gary responds to a recent critique of Christian Nationalism. While the article brings up a few good points, it is marred by poor scholarship and sensationalism. The political sphere is a created government like family government and church (ecclesiastical) government. “God has instituted civil government just as He has set up the church and the family. To say we want nothing to do with civil gover [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 38 Gary discusses Revelation 20 with his friend Robert Cruickshank at the recent Berean Bible Conference. We are not told that “with the Lord one day is a thousand years.” Rather, “one day is as a thousand years.” Are dispensationalists willing to admit that the thousand years of Revelation 20 can be reduced to a single day, week, year, or generation? Wi [...]
Back for a third time, Gary highlights a few of his favorite “Memes of the Week.” Evidences do not have the ability to “speak.” The fossil record, looked at by evolutionists as incontrovertible proof that their position is true, must be interpreted. “Unfortunately, fossils do not come with labels reading, ‘I am an ancestor of man,’ ‘I am the ancestor of the chimpanzee,’ or ‘My line bec [...]
Gary compares the two approaches to funding between Hillsdale College and Harvard. Contrary opinions regarding the facts are not considered. The State has determined what the standard will be to interpret the facts. The humanists have understood this for a long time, so they made it their business to capture the robes of civil government so they could control the means of perpetuating their worldv [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 37 Gary discusses common misunderstandings of Bible prophecy based on over-literal interpretations and misreadings of the Old Testament. There is a long history of forcing prophetic texts from Scripture to fit current events, and there is also a long history of abject failure. For example, John Gill (1697-1771) interpreted the locusts as the main competi [...]
This is Part Two. To read Part One, click here. In order to get the full context of the Parable of the Great Banquet, it is important to read both Luke’s and Matthew’s version (Mt. 22:1–14). In Matthew, the great banquet is actually a wedding feast given on the occasion of the marriage of the king’s son. Matthew’s placement of this parable is interesting because it immediately follows Jesus’ telli [...]
After discussing an issue that caused his Facebook page to be eliminated, Gary discusses the craziness coming from leftist Democrats about Jesus and immigration. One of the most bizarre arguments for “Jesus was a socialist” comes from people who say, “Jesus healed and fed people for free; therefore, He was a socialist.” When governments can feed people for free by multiplying loaves and fishes, he [...]
When is a dinner invitation more than a meal? When it’s a kingdom banquet. In Luke 14:12–24, Jesus tells what modern Bibles refer to as “The Parable of the Great Banquet.” This familiar parable, which tells the tale of a man giving a great banquet is not simply a general story about morality. It is also not about who to invite to your dinner parties. This parable is about who will eat bread in the [...]
Does it matter if we live fearfully or hopefully? Very much so, as Gary points out in this important talk from several years ago. In applying all the Bible to all of life, those “dead in trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1) must have a “new heart” and a “new spirit” so they can rightly understand God’s Word and the world He created for our use (1 Cor. 1:18–25). The “heart of stone” must be removed and [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 36 Gary discusses the fact that ALL Christians are preterists, at least to some degree. If you believe the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact—you are a preterist. A preterist is someone who believes that certain prophecies have been fulfilled, that is, their fulfillment is in the past. For example, Floyd Hamilton, w [...]
Gary concludes his response to a recent video discussion about his eschatological views. What does the New Testament say about when Jesus would come to judge the living and the dead? Jesus’ ascension and session are historical facts as are the other creedal statements. He came “again with glory to judge the living and the dead.” Did Jesus come “again” before that first-century generation passed aw [...]
Many religious cults claim to believe the Bible and biblical inerrancy. A recent video discussion that included Sam Frost and Andrew Sandlin raised the question about how Gary would answer cults using only the Bible. When Jesus taught he taught with authority and not as one who needed to depend upon the opinions of others (Matt. 7:29). So also we who teach the Word of Christ should not be compelle [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 35 Gary gives an overview of the book of Revelation and helps readers to put the confusing book into perspective. Revelation is the most “Biblical” book in the Bible. St. John quotes hundreds of passages from the Old Testament, often with subtle allusions to little-known religious rituals of the Hebrew people. In order to understand Revelatio [...]
