Heb 2:9 – For Whom Did Christ Die?
Program: The translators of the Authorized Version (KJV) rendered this phrase, “that He…should taste death for every man.” Other standard versions have done likewise: “for every one” (NASV); “for everyone” (NIV); “for every individual person” (Amplified); “for every man” (R.V.); “for every one” (RSV), etc. This is a case where those holding to a limited atonement are forced to re-translate. For example, in The Christian Counselor’s New Testament by Jay Adams, a reformed Christian, the passage is rendered: “that…He might taste death for all sorts of persons.” This is a case of amending the text in order to fit one’s theology. Likewise the New Geneva Study Bible says that “every man” (v.9) refers to the “many sons” of verse 10. This would mean that “every man” does not really mean “every man,” but it refers only to the elect. Why do Reformed scholars insist upon this? Because their theological system demands it.

Growing Interest in Which “Church?”
New data from the Barna Group shows that church attendance surged in 2025, led primarily by Gen Z and Millennials. For the first time since Barna began tracking attendance, “Millennials and Gen Z Christians are attending church… much more often than are older generations,” Barna reported. “These are easily the highest rates of church attendance among young Christians since they first hit Barna’s tracking.”

Heb 1:8 – Is the Son addressed as “God”?
Heb. 1:8-12—“But as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a sceptre of
uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated
lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.
And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the
heavens. They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment, and as
a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the Same, and thy years
shall not fail.”

Heb 1:5-6 – Is Jesus God’s only Son?
Problem: If Jesus is God’s “only begotten Son,” then how can angels and Christians also be God’s sons?

Is the Bible a Book of Medicine?
“The Bible is not a book of science.” We hear and read that statement a lot these days. It’s true that a surgeon will not be found peering into a Bible during surgery in order to perfect a surgical technique. But there is a deceptive lie hidden in the claim that the Bible is not a book of science.

Heb 1:5 – Warmed-Over Prophecy?
Problem: The New Testament writers did not always use Old Testament prophecy in a way that conforms to some people’s idea of how they think it should be used. For this reason, many allege that the New Testament writers take Old Testament Scriptures out of context, or that they “reuse” or “warm over” already fulfilled Old Testament passages in order to make their point. However, in response to this idea, logical solutions can be contemplated that clarify and justify the New Testament writers’ multiple use of Old Testament prophecy.

Deceived or Discerning?
A World Shaped by Manipulated Reality
Look closely. What do you see? In the picture above, there are two versions of the same photo. One is genuine, the other has been modified. The photo on the right, released by MSNBC in the wake of Alex Pretti’s death has been photoshopped. Notice the tanned skin tone, brighter and more visible smile, darker eyebrows aligned with the top of his glasses, less elongated face, wider jawline, and added muscle definition. Clearly, there is a difference between these two images, but why would any news agency do this? Because you are in a propaganda war, and they want you to see the specific version of reality that they want you to see. The question that you should be asking is, what motive lies behind this contrived version of reality? What might be gained from using deceptive tactics like this?

Philemon 1:1 – Philemon and Slavery
Problem: American abolitionist, editor, orator, author, statesman, and reformer, Frederick Douglass, himself a former slave, was invited to deliver a speech in 1852 (eight years before the Civil War) to a women’s anti-slavery society in Rochester, New York. His assigned subject? “What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?” His remarks demonstrate forcefully that the Bible and the Christian religion were not to be blamed for the existence or perpetuation of slavery. In his brilliant oration, Douglass demonstrated that those “Christians” and churches in America at the time that used the Bible to sanction slavery were misinterpreting and misrepresenting it. He stated:

10 Bible Verses That Prove Jesus Is God
There’s a quiet comfort in knowing who Jesus truly is. Some say He was just a good man. Others, a prophet. A wise teacher. But when we open the Bible and take a closer look and we REALLY look; it tells a different story. A deeper one. One that’s both astonishing and incredibly personal: Jesus isn’t just someone who talked about God. He is God.
That truth isn’t tucked away in just one verse or one chapter. It’s woven through the entire Bible; from the opening lines of Genesis to the final words in Revelation. It’s in the words Jesus spoke, the miracles He performed, the way others responded to Him, and the titles He accepted. Over and over again, Scripture lifts the veil and reveals His divine nature.

Titus 2:13 – Is Jesus Christ Identified as “The Great God”?
“Looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great Godand our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13 KJV)
Problem: Who is this glorious One who is going to appear? The glorious One who is going to appear is described as “the GREAT GOD.” When He comes again, His deity will be quite obvious. And who is this GREAT GOD? He is further described as our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the great God who shall someday appear. What a clear affirmation of the deity of Christ!

Instant Fish
Imagine that you want to catch some fish, but all you see before you is dry sand. It hasn’t rained in some time, and there is no sign of life. Now imagine that you also have a large tanker truck of water. So you pump the water out of the tanker and let it run into a depression in the sand. Let’s say it takes you ten minutes to shut off the water and pull a net from the front seat. By the time you get to the small pool you’ve created, you can net fish.

Titus 2:10 – What does it mean to “adorn the doctrine” of our God?
Problems: “Adorning the doctrine” is the opposite of God’s Word being blasphemed by the ungodly conduct of God’s people (see verse 5 and Rom. 2:23-24). But when God’s people put to practice the clear principles of God’s Word (whether it be older men, older women, younger women, younger men, slaves or any believers), then the doctrine of God is adorned. The word ADORN (kosmeo–Eng. word “cosmetics”) means to arrange, to put in order (Psalm 119:133–“Order my steps in Thy Word”). It is used of furnishing a room (Matt. 12:44) and of trimming lamps (Matt. 25:7).
