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 [...]
As a boy, I was fascinated with inventors and their inventions. Not just in the invention but the process. How did they do it? Why didn’t they give up after so many failures? Edison’s attempt to find the right filament for his incandescent light was exhausting. He reportedly said, “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not w [...]
Gary brings back “Memes of the Week.” Meme creators find interesting ways to communicate complicated topics in (often) humorous ways. Gary highlights a few of his most recent favorites. The facts are not what’s really at stake, although it will sometimes seem like they are. Too often, we are made to believe that if we could just marshal better historical evidence, or better scientific [...]
Sam Frost used to be a full preterist. He published articles and books defending the full preterist worldview while he was at Whitefield Theological Seminary under the tutelage of Ken Talbot. In his book Misplaced Hope, Frost wrote that he owed Ken “large thanks. Although he may not be in agreement with my conclusions [about Sam’s views about preterism], he nonetheless has inspired my undertaking [...]
Gary responds to recent criticism that resurrects the “Three Questions Controversy” from 2023 and accuses Gary of promoting “full preterism.” KIM: In general terms, the end-end is that “the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Is. 11:9, Hab. 2:14) or: All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, an [...]
Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 34 Gary responds to a video that critiques a preterist interpretation of Matthew 24. The critique gives the impression that 1) a preterist interpretation is “new” (it’s not); and 2) that it’s not biblical (it is). Jesus appropriated language from Ezekiel and applied it to the prophesied coming judgment on Jerusalem that would take [...]
In my opinion, in the battle over eschatology, creeds and confessions are heavily weighted toward dogmatism because eschatology has been a landmine of interpretive confusion. Let’s nail down some non-negotiable “I believes” and let combatants fight about the non-essentials in the never-ending Prophecy Wars. It’s become even more so with the advent of dispensational premillennialism. For many dispe [...]
Gary continues his conversation with Kevin Barber about technology and artificial intelligence where Kevin reveals a tool he made for American Vision, which can be found at www.AmericanVision.ai. AI tools can be useful in summarizing large blocks of information. Over the last 45 years, Gary DeMar has written many books, articles, and reviews, given countless interviews and talks, and taught a bibl [...]
The Nicene Creed and its anonymous cousin, the Apostles’ Creed, have been standards of orthodoxy for around 1700 years. A charge made against Christians who ask questions about the creeds is that the creeds use “man’s language,” thus invalidating their authority. This is a harsh and mistaken claim since most of the statements in both creeds are taken directly from verses in the Bible, thus, they a [...]
Last day to donate to the $10K Matching Grant! Gary has a fascinating conversation with business owner and technology leader, Kevin Barber. The December 1996 issue of Popular Mechanics (PM) carried an article that claimed that “science” has solved a number of ancient Bible mysteries. Miracles are out, mechanical explanations are in. According to the people at PM there has to be a “scientific” expl [...]

This can only be true if one [...]

This means that there is no way to account for morality, governmental jurisdictions, or separation of powers since these principles are foun [...]

While it is not a Christian movie in any sense, it uses a lot of Christian symbology to tell its tale. The Bible states, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov. 1:7). True knowledge does not take place unless one begins with the presupposition that God exists and His Word is sup [...]

A right is a legal immunity, primarily from the State imposing its will on the people. For example, God had a legal right to the Tree of Knowledge, therefore, He could [...]

For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon [idola [...]

I’ve seen this type of language. “My books are about killing God,” says Philip Pullman, the award-winning author of the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials. For a critique of Pullman’s worldview, see To [...]
