- The Doctrine of Legalism (HTML) (PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 3/19/2013.
Fundamental to understanding
legalism, is to understand the
concept of grace. Grace is
all that God is free to do for
mankind because of the work that has
been done on our behalf by the Lord
Jesus Christ on the Cross.
Grace means that man has received
from God that which he has not
earned or deserved. Nothing
that we are, and nothing that we can
do, is enough to qualify us for
anything that the Lord has to give
us. In fact, our human works
are a matter of arrogance, which God
will not tolerate. Isa. 64:6
describes how God views our works: All our
righteousnesses are as filthy
[lit., menstruous] rags in His sight
(Isa.64:6).
- The Doctrine of Vanity (HTML) (PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 3/15/2013. Eccles.
4:7–8 Again,
I saw vanity under the sun: one
person who has no other, either
son or brother, yet there is no
end to all his toil, and his eyes
are never satisfied with riches,
so that he never asks, "For whom
am I toiling and depriving myself
of pleasure?" This also is vanity
and an unhappy business.
These are the words of Solomon, who
both accumulated an incredible
amount of riches and pursued many
human endeavors in his search for
happiness. Psalm 62:9 Those of low
estate are but a breath; those of
high estate are a delusion; in the
balances they go up; they are
together lighter than a breath.

- Jesus in Genesis (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 3/12/2013 Our Lord,
in some form or another, apart from
the Christophanies, is found in
Genesis 1–22 at least 17 times.
- The Sin unto Death (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
Uploaded 2/13/2013. I found
the Doctrine of the Sin unto
Death posted in 3 different
places, and in each case, it seemed
incomplete. This is a
compilation from those 3 places,
along with a small amount of
original material. If you have
not seen this doctrine laid out
before, then this is highly
recommended.
- The Doctrine of Genealogies
(HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 2/8/2013. Quite
frankly, I never expected, say, 10
years ago, to deal with a topic like
this. Genealogies in the Bible
just seemed to be one name after
another, with almost no
purpose. That is not the
case. There is a reason for
everything found in the Bible,
including the genealogies.
This is an original doctrine with
previously published charts and
doctrines included. You may
find yourself surprised that this is
actually an interesting topic.
Personally, I was quite jazzed to do
two chapters of Genesis which were
primarily genealogies. See
what you think. :)
- Bible, The Purpose of; (HTML) (PDF) (WPD)
uploaded 2/8/2013. When one
begins to study the genealogies of
the Bible, found in Gen. 5, 10, and
elsewhere, one is often tempted to
ask, "Why is this in the
Bible?" As long as you
understand the purpose of the Bible,
the reason for this or that passage
often becomes more clear.
- Bible, Basic Themes; aka
The Fundamental Themes of
Scripture (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
There are certain themes which we
find in the Bible, repeated in
nearly every book. This names
those fundamental themes and shows
various places where they are found
in the Bible. This has already
been posted; there were some slight
reworkings of this doctrine.

Unbeliever, the Agnostic and the
New Believer (HTML)

Uploaded 1/9/2013. Taken from
the introduction to the Basic
Exegesis series, this is a
list of propositions which every
open-minded person ought to
consider.
- Dispensationalism versus
Covenant Theology (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 1/5/2013. This is the
framework of God's plan in human
history within which all Christian
theology is based You
may or may not have heard these
terms in your church, but your
church doctrine is based upon one or
the other. Dispensationalism
holds to the idea that God has a
different plan for each epoch in
time (although many things remain
constant from epoch to epoch).
Covenant Theology holds that man's
relationship is governed by two
covenants implied but not actually
stated in Scripture. The
Christian church is a party to the
same covenant that Israel was a
party to. However, covenant
theology holds that Israel failed,
and therefore the church has taken
over, not as a new entity, but as
Israel 2.0. Covenant theology
assigns little meaning to the nation
Israel or to the existence of Jews
today. This study was culled
from the Genesis 9 study and it
emphasizes an examination of
covenant theology.
- The Fundamental Themes of
Scripture (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
uploaded 12/19/2012. These are
the basic themes of the Bible which
are found in Genesis, in the
history, in the prophets and in the
New Testament. The fundamental
nature of man; man's relationship to
God; man's bankruptcy before God;
our need for a Savior; and God's
provision of a Savior. These
are themes found throughout the
Scriptures. Filed under Bible,
Basic Themes.
- The Doctrines of Human Good
and Morality (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 12/18/2012. Most
people who become Christians believe
that their new life in Christ is
simply being a lot more moral than
they used to be. However, this
is not the case, and the doctrines
of Human Good and Morality help to
illustrate this for us.
Related to this is the Fundamentals
of the Faith, or Living the
Christian Life (HTML)
(PDF).
At the end of human history, many
Christians are going to be surprised
that, all the work that they have
done on this earth is the basis for
the bonfire of 1Cor.3:13-14 (but he will be
preserved, so as through fire
--1Cor.3:15). If you have
believed in Jesus Christ, then you
need to check out these studies, so
that you do not waste away your life
on this earth.

all of the prophets, the time
period during which they
prophesied, and to whom they
spoke.
- The Sins of the Tongue (HTML) (PDF) (WPD).
Updated 12/9/2012. This
combines a few studies on the sins
of the tongue done over the past
years, and includes a number of
links to other studies which have
been done. This is both one of
the most destructive category of sin
and almost one of the most ignored
categories as well.
- The Doctrine of Revolution

great deal of contemporary
application. Uploaded
12/8/12. Much more carefully

topics of power lust, bad
government, revolution and the
believer, revolution and mob action,
revolution and the United States,
socialism in the United States, and
information on the original
revolutionary, Satan.
- The Old
Testament
Doctrine of Inheritance (HTML) (PDF) (WPD)
posted
11/30/12. What we find
in the Old Testament prepares
us for the New
Testament. That is,
nearly everything that we find
in the Old Testament is a
shadow of the good things to
come (Heb. 10:1). This
does not mean that the Old
Testament is allegorical, in
the sense that the Old
Testament is a bunch of
made-up stories which teach
the truth. The Old
Testament is recorded history
which also illustrates both
truth and future events,
particularly as related to
Jesus Christ at His 1st and
2nd Advents.
- The New
Testament Doctrine of
Inheritance (or Heirship)
(HTML) (PDF) (WPD) posted
11/30/12. Because we are sons
of God through faith in Christ
Jesus, we become heirs to His
promises, for an eternal
inheritance, which is
permanent and undefiled.
This is specifically the New
Testament Doctrine of
Inheritance. That is,
where the Old Testament
Doctrine of Inheritance
deals with things which look
forward to the inheritance
fulfillments of Old Testament
covenants to Abraham, to the
Jews and to David—that is,
what they are heirs to—this
New Testament Doctrine of
Inheritance looks at the
inheritance that we as
believers will enjoy.
- The Doctrine of Wings (HTML) (PDF)
(WPD).
posted Nov. 29, 2012. There
are several different uses of wings
in the Bible and this explains
several very difficult passages
(although there is one which I could
not give meaning to). Also,
this helps to explain why angels
have wings.

- The Doctrine of Vows (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 11/24/2012. There are a lot
of things found in the Bible,
particularly in the Old Testament,
which seem rather quaint or
mysterious, such as the concept of
vows to God. Since this word
occurs about 75 times in the Old and
New Testaments, it is something that
we ought to understand.
What ought to catch our attention
first is, vows are found throughout
the Old Testament, but not nearly as
often in the New (and they are not
spoken of in the epistles, which are
Church Age doctrine). Let me
suggest to you that, prior to the
cross, man had a legal or a
covenantal relationship with
God. Although we tend to be
very anthropocentric, it is the
covenant which obligated God far
more than it obligated us as
men. If God does not do as He
says He will, then God is not God
(and a part of the Angelic Conflict
is God vindicating His Own
character). In order for God
to fulfill his covenants with man,
there needed to be the Suffering
Servant Who went to the cross,
offered Himself for our sins, and
then became Israel’s promised
Messiah and King. Once God has
fulfilled this obligation in time, a
number of things change.
Covenants are downplayed, as would
be vows (a divine covenant is God
proposing an agreement between
Himself and man; a vow is man
proposing an agreement between
himself and God).
After the cross, God sent us the
Holy Spirit, a down payment on the
future blessings that we will enjoy
(2Cor. 1:22). This changes
everything. Our lives are now
based upon grace and relationship
rather than upon covenants. We
receive an inheritance from God
because we are in Christ, His Son,
and share His inheritance (Rom.
8:17). Furthermore, there are
specific mechanics to the spiritual
life and to spiritual maturity, none
of which are dependent upon a
covenant. It is in this light
that we need to understand the
concept of a vow.

Eschatology is the study of future
things, as they are laid out in the
Bible, and this is a list of the
vocabulary words used in the Bible
and in theology which are related to
eschatology. There is a short
rundown, afterwards, of the order of
these events, as well as links to
more thorough studies of the topics
covered.
- The Doctrine of Imprecatory
Psalms (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
appended and updated
11/8/2012. An imprecatory
prayer is where you pray against one
of your enemies or against your
nation’s enemies. We find many
psalms with such prayers. How
are we to understand this in the
light of Jesus saying, “Love for
your enemies and for those who
falsely accuse you.” ?

- Typology: Abraham’s Offering of
Isaac/God’s Offering of Jesus
(HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 10/29/2012. Gen. 22
is one of the most amazing chapters
in all of the Bible. God comes
to Abraham and asks for him to offer
up his uniquely-born son, the only
time that God ever calls for a human
sacrifice. This is done
to set up a parallel between the
offering of Isaac to the offering of
our Lord for our sins. This is
an example of typology. Isaac
is the type; Jesus is the
antitype. The actual
historical narrative of God asking
Abraham to offer up his son is real;
but it foreshadows our Lord being
offered up on the cross and being
judged by God the Father for our
sins. This is an amazing set
of parallels, much like the
birth of Isaac foreshadowed the
birth of our Lord (HTML)

- God and the Poor; Is God Really
a Liberal? (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
Sometime ago, I came upon a webpage
alleging that God is a liberal, and
that there are 300 passages about
the poor and the needy in the
Bible. When you hear these
things, you are being set up to be
in favor of the government taking
money from the wealthy and
redistributing it. Such people
favor a socialistic government (or a
more socialistic government) where
the government has the final say as
to who is allowed to have what
amount of wealth. This is
wrong and evil and
anti-Biblical. It is also very
deceptive, as most websites with
this message rarely clearly tout
government control or higher taxes
on the wealthy members of society;
nor do they talk about
redistribution of wealth or
socialism. That is the
undercurrent; they first attempt to
convince you that wealth is wrong or
bad or sinful, and that society
should have a hand in dealing with
that. This treatise looks at
the distortion performed on the
Bible by such liberal hacks (who, in
many cases, will not talk about the
gospel of Jesus Christ anywhere on
their website--but they seem very
invested in getting you to think a
certain way about the poor).
Included in this article are ways
that liberals and progressives
attempt to manipulate you;
Thomas Sowell's article "Useful
Idiots;" and the passage
about the poor that liberals
generally do not cite.
All of the passages cited and
distorted by liberals will be
covered in this treatise. Also
included are two Word Clouds which
help to show how devious liberals
tend to be (which should not
surprise us, as they themselves have
been deceived by the great deceiver
himself).
- The Doctrine of War
(HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
uploaded 10/26/2012 There is a
lot of confusion about the concept
of war, and many voices out there
which suggest that, somehow, this is
an option in life or that this is
something which Christians can
simply avoid. Such ideas are
Satanic and/or cosmic
viewpoint. This doctrine
includes the following topics: Why
God Allows War, False Hopes for
Peace. God is very much a part of
war, Military Preparedness and War,
The most important asset in war is
Bible doctrine in the soul, Killing
and Lying in War, War and the New
Testament, and Retreat from war.
- Eschatological Vocabulary (HTML)

(WPD).
Uploaded 10/8/2012.
Eschatology is the study of future
things. However, in order to
study this doctrine, you need some
vocabulary. This is a short
doctrine which gives you the
necessary vocabulary and a brief
outline of history from God's view
(including future events).
- The Doctrine of Revolution
(HTML)
(PDF)

Uploaded 9/29/12. This was
part of another doctrine, and it was
actually authored by Pastor Kreger
of Metropolitan Bible Church.
It was a part of Liberalism,
Conservatism, and Christianity

This doctrine will be a part of 2Samuel
15, which is what I am
currently working on.
- Updated The Dual Authorship of
Scripture (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 9/29/12. Because
there are two authors of Scripture,
many passages--particularly in the
Old Testament--have dual
meanings. That is, the human
author had one thing in mind, but
God the Holy Spirit had something
else in mind. The example of
Psalm 41:9 was added, where King
David probably wrote this verse
thinking of Ahithophel, who fell
into the revolution of
Absalom. However, Jesus quotes
this verse and tells us that it was
fulfilled by Judas.
- The Doctrine of Grace Before
Judgment (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD).
Uploaded 9/26/2012. Before God
judges an individual or a corporate
group (like a city, a nation, a

individual or corporate group fair
warning. Several examples are
given.

Also, there is a Summative Table

of the Bible which are available.
- The Doctrine of Heathenism
(what about the people who have
never heard?) (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
uploaded 8/13/2012 The
word heathen is used
theologically to refer to those who
have not believed in Jesus
Christ. They may or may not
have heard the gospel; they may or
may not be open to hearing the
gospel. They may or may not
belong to a civilized or relatively
modern society.
A question raised by many people,
believers and unbelievers alike, is,
what about those who have never
heard the gospel of Jesus
Christ? Will they go to
hell? What about Muslims and
Jews and Buddhists? Isn’t
their faith and sincerity enough to
merit God’s favor? And, how
can we believe that someone who has
never heard the name of Jesus be
condemned to hell? How can a
God who does this be a just and
loving God?
- The Law of Posterity,
which is closely related to the
Levirate Law (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
uploaded 7/24/2012. This is a
little-studied doctrine, the law of
posterity suggests that there may
have been a more extensive moral
code prior to the Law of Moses, as
it preexisted Moses. This
doctrine explains both the book of
Ruth and the question of the
sadducees. It also explains
why the Catholic church is wrong
about birth control. Finally,
the underlying meaning explains that
those who believed in Yehowah
Elohim had an eternal inheritance
with God, undefiled, that does not
fade away (1Peter 1:4).
- The Doctrine of the
Interlocking Systems of Arrogance
(HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
uploaded 7/23/2012 This is a
doctrine that is original with R. B.
Thieme, Jr., but it has been
reworked and several gates have been
added. There needed to be some
way to explain David's sin of
adultery followed by the sin of
murder. When 2Samuel 11
(HTML)
(PDF)
is carefully exegeted, there seems
to be more than just extended
carnality and sinning
involved. This doctrine of
Interlocking Systems of Arrogance
explains in greater detail just what
is occurring in David's soul (which
is important, as this could be
something which we as individual
believers face).
- The Doctrine of Mental
Attitude Sins uploaded
7/20/2012 (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
One's mental attitude and one's
thinking is one of the most
important aspects of the Christian
life, and yet, it is one which is
often ignored. 12 mental
attitude sins are listed, which

as links for a more complete
doctrine of each sin.
- The Doctrine of Forgiveness
uploaded 7/14/2012 (HTML)
(PDF)
(WPD)
Although forgiveness is fundamental
to our salvation, finding a
doctrinal approach is
difficult. Even the original
source that I used contained
legalistic problems, which were
revised or removed. This
doctrine includes a definition, some
preliminary considerations, a
vocabulary list, God's forgiveness
of mankind, our forgiveness at
salvation, and temporal forgiveness
(remaining in fellowship). The
unpardonable sin is also discussed
in this doctrine. Forgiving
others and the need for believers to
forgiven one another are topics
which are covered extensively.
- Homosexuality
and the Bible uploaded
7/12/2012 (HTML)
(PDF).
This is a fairly thorough study of
how the Bible views
homosexuality. Not only are
all the pertinent passages studied,
but general studies which have been
done about homosexuality in the
United States are covered as
well. The political
agenda of the gay movement is
examined along with the topic of gay
marriage. Also, I discover
Word Clouds.
- The Doctrine of Flattery.

I must admit, this is a sin I barely
knew existed. (The link to
2Samuel 14 is not functional yet; I

- Satan--A
Compendium uploaded
5/18/2012 (HTML)
(PDF)
This is actually a collection of
doctrines and writings on Satan, his
fall, his appeals, his limitations,
his appearance, along with several
other doctrines. Also included
are passages taken from various
books which have been exegeted about
Satan and World Peace, Satan and
Global Warming, Satan and Science
and Religion, Satan Counterfeiting
the End Times, Satan and Hollywood,
Satan and evil, Satan and
Islam. Although this is not
intended to be a complete study of
the angel Satan, it comes
close.

- Chiasmos
Example: Genesis 17
uploaded 5/9/2012 (HTML)
(PDF)
There are keys which unlock many
books and chapters and passages of
the Bible. A chiasmos is one
of those keys, and it organizes and
often explains what a passage of
Scripture is all about.
A chiasmos organizes a passage, so
that there is a parallel with the
beginning of the chiasmos with the
end of it; the second portion of the
passage finds its match in the
second to the last portion of the
passage; etc.
Chi [pronounced khee] is a letter of
Greek alphabet from which this
organization gets its name.
The idea is, the passage can be
lined up against the left side of
this Greek letter: Χ. I
realize that you think that is an
“X’, but is it actually a chi.

Abbreviated Doctrine of Angels
(Angelology) uploaded
5/9/2012 (HTML)
(PDF)
77% of
adult Americans believe in
angels, according to a December 2011
Associated Press-GfK poll. I must admit this
surprised me; but it is also
good to know, in general, that
77% of adult Americans believe
in the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead,
according to a 2012 Rasmussen poll. This is a
short (1.5 page) doctrine

- Circumcision
Means Regeneration
posted 02/08/2012 (HTML)
(PDF).
There are several places on the
internet where amateurs and
professionals alike make a
connection between circumcision and
regeneration; however, I did not
find any website where this is laid
out as a doctrine. This is
integral to the study of Gen. 17 and
to understanding Paul’s
dissertations on circumcision some
2000 years later. Therefore,
the doctrines found here should
explain what circumcision is all
about. This doctrine includes
two related doctrines: What is
this New Heart? and The
Familial Relationship between God
and Abraham’s Seed.
In several places in the Bible, God
is said to give us a new heart or He
is said to put a new spirit within
us. What is this New Heart?
explains exactly what that means.
- Abraham's
Spiritual life in 2000 B.C. (HTML)
(PDF).
Uploaded 1/4/2012. God
mandates that Abraham (Abram until
Gen. 17:5) walk before Him and to be
complete (or, spiritually
mature). Therefore, in
Abraham’s time, there must be the
modus operandi of the spiritual life
laid out so that Abraham could obey
this command. Determining what
the spiritual life is for Abraham is
the focus of this study.
Furthermore, understanding Abraham’s
spiritual life helps us to better
understand and appreciate our own
spiritual lives.

of the Military in Israel's
History (HTML)

Uploaded 12/21/2011. These are
doctrines which are related to
specific campaigns, strategies or
history found in the Word of
God. The doctrines found in
this document include A Summary of
Saul's Military Victories; Why Do
the Philistines Constantly War
Against Israel?; Israel and Her
Enemies: a Divine Perspective; Why
Not a More Measured Response to
Ammon?" Military Ethics, David and
Joab; and many others. These
doctrines were also culled from
various chapters of Samuel and
Chronicles.
- The Doctrine of The
Geographical Will of God
(HTML)
(PDF).
Uploaded 11/28/2011 God no
longer speaks to us by dreams, or
Urim and Thummim, or in Person; so
how are we to determine which way we
should go; which city we should live
in, which job we should take?
This is covered in this doctrine;
and this doctrine was taken from the
Basic Exegesis of the Bible, Lesson
#160.
- Why
God Did Not Perfectly and
Supernaturally Preserve the Bible
(HTML)
(PDF)
posted 11/28/2011. God is
capable of preserving every single
letter in the Bible, supernaturally,
if you will, throughout all of human
history. However, in nearly
every chapter, there are minor
errors; a difference of spelling;
transposed letters, which change the
meaning of a verb; text which has
been dropped out. Why did God
allow this with His Word? This
is taken from the 2Samuel
13 (HTML)
(PDF)
exegesis, where there are several
problems with the Masoretic
text. 2Samuel 13 is a work in
progress.
- The
Doctrine of Slavery posted
11/22/2011 (HTML)
(PDF).
This is actually a collection of 3
doctrines which are taken from the
Basic Exegesis Series: The
Biblical Doctrine of Slavery,
Lessons
from the Doctrine of Slavery,
and Slavery in the United
States. This study
takes a rational, unemotional view
of slavery, slavery in the United
States, reparations and other
related topics; and helps the
believer to understand not simply
the historical context for slavery
in the Bible, but to be able to
apply this thinking to current
social problems and injustices, as
well as our involvement as
Christians in social problems and
inequity.

For whatever reason, this continues
to be the 2nd most accessed document

has since been expanded to include
more women, a chart of David and
Jacob's families, one minor error

now been hyperlinked, as many of
these women interacted with one
another in a number of ways.

- Lucky
Guesses found in Genesis
and What is Incontrovertible
about the History of the Bible
added 10/13/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
There are a number of amazing things
found in the first 15 chapters of
Genesis; things which are difficult
to explain, apart from Genesis being
a part of the written Word of
God. There are matters of
science, history and theology which
Genesis speaks of, in some cases,
1000's of years before these things
should have been known. For
instance; God spends an entire day
making the atmosphere for the
earth. This is indeed
extremely important to our
well-being; but how come ancient man
recognized this? How did some
old Bible guy come to the idea that,
all around him is an atmosphere, and
that God needed to create
it? This is one of 20
lucky guesses found in the first 15
chapters of Genesis. As a
companion piece, I have a number of
points on what is incontrovertible
about the history of the
Bible. I have heard a lot of
goofy things in my life, such as,
this or that group made wholesale
changes to the Bible. This
list ought to help dispel such
myths. File this study under
apologetics; so that you can give a
reason for the faith which is within
you.
- The
Dual Authorship of the
Scriptures added
10/8/2011 (HTML)
(PDF).
This doctrine was taken out of Psalm
51. All of the
related doctrines and text from
Psalm 51 was gathered together in
order to form this doctrine.
The idea is, because there are two
authors of Holy Writ, man and God
the Holy Spirit, it would
therefore follow that, now and
again, the man thinks one thing
and writes it down; but God the
Holy Spirit, the co-Author, uses
those exact same words to express
an often related but different
concept. This, in many ways,
will revolutionize the
interpretation of Old Testament
Scripture, particularly the psalms
and the prophetic passages.
- A Retrospective of Genesis 14
posted September 21, 2011. (HTML)
(PDF).
Gen. 14 is one of the most amazing
chapters of the Bible, which is so
filled with information that I spent
17 lessons on this chapter in the Basic
Exegesis Series (HTML)
(PDF).
Prior to this study, I had no idea
how much information was in this
chapter. In fact, prior to
this study, I actually wondered why
God the Holy Spirit included it in
the Word of God. This is
possibly mankind's first world war;
it speaks of the 4th and 5th stages
of national discipline, imperialism,
the importance of Bible doctrine in
the soul of one man, and
Melchizedek, one of the most
important figures of the Old
Testament; as well as the concept of
strategy and tactics in war (which
is found much more often in the
Bible than you might think).
There is also blessing by
association, cursing by association,
the concept of the priesthood and
typology, all buried in a chapter
that most people read in 5 minutes.
- Genesis
15:6 in the New Testament
posted September 21, 2011. (HTML) (PDF).
In many ways, this verse is the
foundation of our faith; that we are
saved through faith in Jesus
Christ. This study examines
the way this verse is quoted in the
New Testament and the different
points which are made. It is a
good illustration to see the variety
of ways that New Testament authors
used the Old Testament in their
writings.
- The Way of God posted
September 5, 2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
This is an expanded version of the
shorter doctrine found in the
exegesis of Psalm
51 (which has not been
completed yet). The phrase the
way of God, along with
several similar phrases, is
ubiquitous in the Old Testament and
found a number of times in the
Gospels and Acts. It is an
important phrase, and almost
completely ignored in theological
writings, much like the fundamental
phrase in Christ.
Just as there are many facets to the
phrase in Christ, so
there are many topics associated
with the way.
- The Doctrine Available to King
David posted September 5,
2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
This doctrine is taken directly out
of the exegesis Psalm
51 (which is not yet
posted). When I first began
studying under R. B. Thieme, Jr., I
admit I was skeptical of his
emphasis upon the Word of God and
Bible teaching. Since I had
been in a half dozen churches, all
which had a different emphases, I
wondered if this approach was just
another gimmick. Obviously, I
have had a change of heart since
those days. The Bible
methodically records a number of
sources of doctrine which were
available to King David; and, in
many cases, these were sources
available to the general population
of Israel. This doctrine will
help you recognize that knowledge of
doctrine is fundamental to the plan
of God.
- The Trinity in the Old
Testament posted August 29,
2011 (HTML)
(PDF).
The word Trinity is not
found anywhere in the Bible, but it
soon became clear that God is 1 in
essence and 3 in personality.
Everything in the New Testament
documents pointed to this, so
Christians very early on believed in
the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit. However, what is quite
amazing is, the Trinity is also
found in the Old Testament, which
Old Testament religious Jews take as
their Scripture. And yet, they
do not and never have believed in a
Triune God. However, if we
take the concept of the Trinity, and
look through the OT, it becomes
clear that the OT teaches the
Trinity as much as does the
New. In fact, I would argue,
there are more passages which
support a Triune God in the OT than
in the New. This is one of the
many doctrines which will help you
to increase your faith. How
can the Jews view miss the Trinity
in the OT and how is it possible for
this to be so clearly taught from a
perspective of thousands of years
later? It is this sort of
doctrine which increases your faith
in the Word of God; and helps you to
realize that the Bible is not just a
collection of writings fo religious
men, but the Living, Breathing Word
of God.
- The Ministry of God the Holy
Spirit in the Old Testament
posted August 21, 2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
Because God administers His
household in a number of ways
throughout human history (known to
us as the Doctrine of
Dispensations), there are
differences from one dispensation to
the next. The Holy Spirit had
a slightly different ministry in the
Old Testament as compared to the
New. This is a fairly short
doctrine (2-3 pages) on the Holy
Spirit's specific ministry in the
Old Testament.
- Abortion--Logic
and the Bible posted
August 11, 2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
What I rarely find is a combination
of logic and the Bible used to make
sense of the abortion issue.
By far, the majority of Christians
groups are against abortion,
although some of their uses of
Scripture are suspect. On the
other side of the issue is R. B.
Thieme, Jr., who teaches that
abortion is an issue for the woman
and her doctor. Siding with
him is almost the entirety of the
liberal political movement, even
those who claim not to believe in
God. However, as you will see,
one can make an argument in favor of
abortion on religious or
philosophical grounds, but not upon
biological grounds. So the
left, which often rejects religion
in favor of science, must abandon
science entirely to take the
position which they have
taken. In any case, I hope to
approach this subject using Bible
doctrine, logic and a little
biology.
- The
Doctrine
of Imputations
posted August 5, 2011. (HTML)
(PDF)
We are saved because of a series
of imputations. Adam's
original sin is imputed to us at
birth, our sins are imputed to
Jesus Christ on the cross, and, in
justification, His righteousness
is imputed to us when we believe
in Him. These things are
covered in great detail in this
doctrine. This is an
extremely important doctrine, as
the word for imputeis
found 126 times in the Old
Testament and 42 times in the
New. This is a part of the
exegesis of Psalm 51, which is
what I am working on right now.
- The Doctrine of Tithing
and Modern Applications of
Tithing to Taxation.
August 3, 2011. (HTML)
(PDF)
I have seen the doctrine of tithing
taught on several occasions, and
there are a couple of details which
are gotten wrong. Also, since
the concept of tithing and taxation
are in the Scripture, this ought to
give us a clue as to what is ideal
application of these concepts today.
- Progressive
Revelation posted August 3,
2011. (HTML)
(PDF).
The concept of progressive
revelation is, each additional truth
builds upon, expands, and better
explains that which was already
taught. New revelation does
not supercede, replace or nullify
previous revelation, but it builds
upon that which is past.
- The Seeds of Genesis--the
Great Theological Truths begun in
the first 14 Chapters of
Genesis. posted August 3,
2011. (HTML)
(PDF)
Genesis
is one of the most amazing
books in the Bible. It
contains the seeds for many
doctrines which are revealed in
greater detail throughout the rest
of the Bible. This doctrine
lists about a dozen major doctrines,
all of which come into view, in seed
form, in the first 14 chapters of
Genesis.
- The Priesthoods in the Bible
posted July 12, 2011. (HTML)
(PDF).
There are quite a number of
different priesthoods found in the
Bible. They all speak of man
representing himself (or others) to
God, and those in the Old Testament
look forward to Jesus Christ.
This is a fairly short overview
which gives you a quick an easy
grasp of the various priesthoods
found throughout Scripture.
This, and the two doctrines which
follow, come out of the Basic
Exgesis Series, which is presently
in Gen. 14. (HTML)
(PDF).
- The Doctrine of Redemption
posted July 12, 2011. (HTML)
(PDF).
As early as Genesis 14, God is
called the Redeemer of Heaven and
Earth. This doctrine examines
what it means for God to be called
Redeemer, and how this is one
cohesive whole throughout the Bible.
- The Illustration of the Slave
Market of Sin posted July
12, 2011. (HTML)
(PDF).
Closely related to the Doctrine of
Redemption is the illustration, used
by Jesus, of the Slave Market of
Sin. This particular
doctrine is actually illustrated by
Moses taking the Children of Israel
out of Egypt. This is an
amazing study, which is further
proof of the cohesiveness of the
entire Bible. This is alluded
to in Genesis 14, illustrated in
Exodus, spoken of by Jesus to
explain why the religious types
would not be saved by their being
Jews or by attempting to keep the
law, and then explained in greater
detail by Paul in some of his
doctrinal dissertations.
- The
Importance of Bible Doctrine
posted May 13, 2011 (HTML)
(PDF).
Our
Lord Jesus Christ, in His humanity,
grew in grace and wisdom (which is
the knowledge and application of
Bible doctrine). On many
occasions, He told His listeners
that they erred because they did not
know the Scriptures. Bible
doctrine is the very spiritual food
that we require in order to grow
spiritually. Apart from the
knowledge of the Word of God, you do
not grow in the spiritual life, no
matter how many good works you
do. Knowing the Word of God is
the key to knowing the will of
God. This was taken from the
basic exegesis series (which is a
series of short lessons, which began
with the book of Genesis). See
also Genesis Lessons 1-100
(HTML)
(PDF)
and Genesis Lessons 101-130

This
came from lsson #125 and is slightly
updated.
- How
to be Filled with the Holy Spirit
(also known as the
Doctrine of Rebound)
posted May 13, 2011 (HTML) (PDF).
Slightly revised.
- Jesus
is not a Liberal
posted 4/11/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
Some
time ago, I had a discussion with
someone on the internet on whether
or not Jesus was a liberal, and
posted this here.
This
is a much more careful study, taking
each one of their reasons, each of
the Biblical passages which they
distort, and show that Jesus is not
a liberal nor is He a socialist (nor
is He the first counter-culture
revolutionary, in the contemporary
sense). This is a very
lengthy study (it is over 100
pages), wherein, nearly everything
related to this topic is
discussed. First of all, there
is the basic dishonesty of
liberalism; the conflation of wealth
and greed; the idea that, it just
depends upon how you interpret the
Bible, followed by the Bible and
socialism. The meat of this
doctrine is examining the myriad of
liberal causes which Jesus is said
to have espoused: peacemaking rather
than war making; being anti-war and
anti-military, being for
nonviolence; how Jesus was
supposedly against the strict
adherence to religious law,
etc. Social justice, corporate
greed and individual wealth are all
examined, along with nearly every
passage touted by liberals (along
with the many passages which they
ignore). There are many short
doctrines covered in here, including
Why the Government Does a Lousy Job;
The Bible, Capitalism and Private
Property; Morality and Capitalism;
Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler
(liberals absolutely love this
narrative); and God and the Welfare
State. Finally, there is an
extensive addendum, which you ought
to find as interesting as the rest
of this examination, where we learn
a little from General George Patton,
President Thomas Jefferson and
columnist George Will. If you
ever had any doubts about this
subject, it is covered here in the
greatest detail.
- The
Importance of Bible Doctrine
posted 3/30/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
There
is nothing more important to the
individual believer than the Word of
God. The most valuable coin of
the realm in the spiritual life is
Bible doctrine. This is a
relatively short doctrine which
gives you the Biblical perspective
on this matter.
- Figures
of Speech in the Bible
posted 3/30/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
Mot
fundamentalist Christians take the
Bible literally. After all, it
is a literal history of God's people
and an exact description of our
spiritual lives as believers in
Jesus Christ. However, that
does not mean that each and every
word, and that each and every phrase
must be taken literally. The
Bible was written by men as carried
along by the Holy Spirit, which did
not change their personalities or
style of writing. Writers use
all kinds of figures of speech,
idioms and hidden grammatical
structure. This doctrine gives
clear examples of such things in
such a way that, you will understand
how we can both take the Bible
literally, and yet, be open to the
use of figurative language.
- The
Doctrine of Separation
posted 3/30/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
Christians
have distorted many doctrines from
the Bible, and the concept of
separation is one of them. In
this doctrine, you will see the
correct and incorrect reasons to
separate from others. This
doctrine borrows heavily from the
work of Robby Dean, who grew
spiritually under the ministry of
RBTII.
- Logistical
Grace posted
3/30/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
Logistics
is a military word which refers to
the military science of supply,
provision, and planning of troop
movement. From this military
nomenclature comes a Bible Doctrine
based on analogy (many words in the
Bible—including the New
Testament—are military terms
appropriated for a spiritual
usage). Logistics always plays
a very important and dramatic part
in warfare, but logistics plays an
even greater part in your life as a
believer. Every believer is alive
today because of logistical
grace. I have borrowed heavily
from the work of R. B. Thieme, Jr.
on this doctrine; and there will be
several additional references at the
very end.
- The
Spiritual Life in the Church Age

(PDF)
At
salvation (when we believe in Jesus
Christ), we begin a unique spiritual
life, which has some similarities to
saints from the Old Testament, but
is well-defined for all believers in
the Church Age. God's plan for
us in the Church Age is to grow
spiritually which will result in an
eternal impact.
- Antisemitism
posted 3/30/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
It
ought to strike you as strange that,
although the little nation Israel
takes up about 0.2% of the Middle
East and nearly none of its natural
resources (only recently was natural
gas discovered in Israel), this
seems to be the focal point of so
much hatred of so many Arabs and
Muslims. Various Middle East
leaders have called for the
destruction of Israel. Some
simultaneously deny the holocaust
and celebrate it as some sort of
righteous discipline from God.
Even in the United States, there are
several pockets of people who are
quite upset about the Jews.
This short doctrine will help to
explain why.

distinguishing characteristics and a
summarization table.
- Satan
Did Not Know about the Cross
posted 3/7/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
For
some time, I have been ruminating
about this possibility, that Satan
was not aware that it was Jesus'
plan to go to the cross, and,
therefore, set into motion the
events which took our Lord to the
cross, which was the great tactical
victory of the Angelic Conflict as
well as the basis for our
salvation. To me, it is
illogical that Satan would knowingly
lead Jesus to the cross, if he
realized that the cross was the
beginning of the end for him.
Let me add that, this is one of the
few doctrines which is different
from what is taught in most
churches, and, therefore, take it
with a grain of salt.
- Private
Property,
Wealth and the Bible
posted
3/3/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
In society, there are constantly
attempts to distort the truth in the
Bible. In this society, it has
become even more easy to do so,
because most Christians lack a good
foundation in Biblical
teaching. They can be led by
the nose to a half-dozen passages,
and easily led astray in this
manner. One of these
distortions is that, there is
something inherently wrong about
wealth, or anti-spiritual about
possessing wealth. There is
the mistaken impression that, it is
the right thing to do for a believer
to give his wealth away; or that the
state ought to be involve in the
equalization of wealth. The
key to the spiritual life is what is
in the soul, not what is in one’s
bank account. More
importantly, greed is not
necessarily a sin of the rich, but
more often, a sin of the poor.

2Samuel 11
posted 2/16/2011 (HTML)
(PDF)
While working in 2Sam. 12, I began
to develop a doctrine which deals
with degeneracy sins,
or addictive behavior.
Although I will keep that doctrine
in 2Sam. 12, it is apropos to
2Sam. 11 as well, so doctrine has
been added to 2Sam. 11.
Degeneracy sins include
skirt-chasing, homosexuality,
and/or other sexual sins,
alcoholism and drug abuse.
All of these sins have negative
affects on our souls and dig ruts
into our lives. Such sins
can be almost all-consuming.
- Blessing
by Association posted
2/9/2011 (HTML)
(PDF).
Once
a believer begins to mature
spiritually, God begins to pour out
more blessings upon that believer
(called "more grace" or "greater
grace"). These blessings
overflow to those who are around
you. This doctrine explains
and documents the concept of
blessing by association.
- Liberalism,
Conservatism and Christianity,
posted 12/14/2010 (HTML)
(PDF)
After
posting a link to "God and the
Poor; Is God Really a Liberal?" on
facebook, my cousin suggested that
God was above this liberal and
conservative debate, which
inspired me to take a look at 40
different contemporary issues and
compare them to what the Bible
tells us about these issues
(Abortion, Anti-Semitism, Atheism,
Change, Conservation and Nature,
Education, Eminent Domain,
Environmentalism, Evolution, Gay
Rights, Homosexuality, Global
Warming, Government Regulations,
Guantanamo Bay Prison for Enemy
Combatants, Homelessness, Income
Inequity, Income Redistribution,
Inheritance Tax, Islam, Islam and
Child Sacrifice, Land
Ownership—National, Land
Ownership—Personal, Marriage, The
Military, Missionary Activity,
Morality, National Threats,
Nationalism versus
Internationalism, Nuclear
Disarmament, Patriotism, Political
Activism, Poverty, Racial Issues,
Reparations, Revolution,
Separation of Church and State,
Socialism, Taxation, Taxing the
Rich, War, The Work Ethic).
There are 20+ pages on these
issues, giving the general liberal
position, the general conservative
position, and then what the Bible
says. There is a 25 page
addendum where some of these
issues are explored in more depth,
as the format--side by side
columns--does not lend itself to
an in depth approach to each
topic. Everything is
hyperlinked, so it is easy to go
to whatever contemporary issue
interests you.
- God
and the Poor; Is God Really a
Liberal?

(PDF)
A
week or so ago, I was listening to
Michael Medved, and a caller started
ranting about the 300 verses in the
Bible about how bad the rich
are. It was quite obvious that
this person did not have any idea
what he was talking about, but that
his information came from a website
posting. That certainly
interested me, as this person was
indicating that the United States
did not do enough for the poor, that
the rich had too much money, and
that a little social justice needed
to be applied. After a quick
search on the internet, I found the
posting about 300 verses about the
poor (the rich are mentioned in this
essay). The essay was written
by 3 people back in 1989, and posted
on a website where one of the
authors writes some far
left-of-center political diatribes,
and also shares with us his favorite
games, literature, comics and his
trip to Brazil. Although his
article castigates Christians for
not being charitable enough, a
precursory glace through his website
and writings indicates that he
personally has very little interest
in the Bible or, for that matter, in
the poor; except to use these issues
to manipulate others to agree with
his progressive causes (the welfare
state, bigger government, more
taxes, and probably a European-style
socialism or more). I go
through this paper line-by-line,
along with the 150 or so verses
which he quotes (many of them wildly
out of context), and explain Who God
really is and what His relationship
to the poor really is.
- Just added and updated: Was
Jesus a Liberal?
12/3/2010 (HTML)
(PDF).
Throughout
the years, there have been many
attacks upon the Bible and upon
Jesus. One of the more
contemporary attacks is, Jesus is a
Liberal. This fits into
Liberation Theology, which is simply
a way of taking believers who know
little or nothing about the Bible,
and to convince them that the Bible
is in favor of a welfare state or of
Socialism or Communism. For
the unlearned, this slant of the
Bible can be quite convincing, and
there were many inroads made by
communism in South America by using
this approach. The believers
and unbelievers who are sucked into
this false doctrine are the "useful
idiots" which communism loves to
use.

Witnesses and the Deity of Jesus
Christ

A
long time ago, when I was more
argumentative, I invited Jehovah's
Witnesses into my house, figuring,
if I can show them that Jesus is
God, they will straighten out and
leave their cult. So, I
focused on one area, John 1:1-3,
which they distort by calling Jesus
"a god." So, I showed them in
their own Bible, how they were
inconsistent in their
interpretation. Later, they
came back with reinforcements and,
after I argued with them for 30
minutes, they came back again with
more reinforcements. This is a
short, 3-page doctrine dealing with
this very specific point.

People get weird about this
concept. They pray and pray
and pray until they feel
something; and then that is what
they do. For most, that is
doing exactly what they wanted to
do in the first place; for a few
others, it is doing exactly the
opposite of what they wanted to
do. However, the keys to
knowing the will of God are (1)
being in fellowship and (2) having
the Word of God in your soul
(which are the 2 keys to the
entire Christian life).

- Further down this page will be an
alphabetical listing of all of the
doctrines posted on this
website. There are in excess
of 160 doctrines. There are
over 100 short doctrines included
the new study of Genesis (Genesis 1),
over 50 short doctrines in the
introduction (General
Introduction (PDF)
), and each chapter of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Chronicles
and Psalms,
contains about 20-30 short doctrines
(the easiest way to get a listing of
all those doctrines is to go to Old Testament Topics html).
Each of those books lists the
doctrines found in that chapter at
the beginning of each chapter.
- A second approach is to use the
google search engine, which will
search all documents for the
doctrines you want: Search
this
Website
- Thirdly, in the books which are
exegeted on this site, I have gone
through them and have listed
essentially every doctrine and
subject discussed in any
depth. This will give you an
idea what is covered in the
exegetical study of each chapter and
each book, and you may find a couple
of topics which simply interest
you. Old
Testament
Topics html file (these are
the topics which I have covered
already in the exegesis that I have
done; not all files are uploaded
yet); however, many of the topics
which we find listed here are a part
of the exegetical study of the books
I have examined. There are now
some hyperlinks to take you to the
proper documents; however, in any
case, this will tell you the book,
chapter, and verse where you would
go to see more on the topic
listed. By the way, there are
nearly 100 pages in this document
and line after line is simply
another topic covered in the
exegetical study of this or that
book. You may want to use the
search function in your
browser. Updated
3-5-10 (there are still
some psalms and chapters of books
which I have not included
yet). This includes all of the
topics covered in 2Samuel 10, which
has just been completed.
- Old
Testament
Topics pdf file (these are the
topics which I have covered already
in the exegesis that I have done;
not all files are uploaded
yet). This is probably too
large to view from the internet and
you may need to download it and open
it up in Acrobat reader in order to
read this listing of topics.
The topics which I covered in the book
of Samuel are going to be covered in
much greater detail than the topics
which I covered in the Pentateuch books.
My most recent
studies, including doctrines and
exegesis, is located here.

Admittedly, much of this was
taken from the internet. There
are about 2 dozen names used for God
in the Old Testament, as well as a
number of titles and descriptive
names. I have all of them
listed here, with their
meanings. Now, what you will
not find elsewhere is how these
names of God relate directly to His
character and essence, how they
reveal His salvation, and how the
reveal His interaction with man.

Old Testament Names for God.
HTML
PDF
Much of this was taken from the
internet. There are about 2
dozen names used for God in the Old
Testament, as well as a number of
titles and descriptive names.
I have all of them listed here, with
their meanings. What you will
not find elsewhere is how these
names of God relate directly to His
character and essence, how they
reveal His salvation, and how the
reveal His interaction with man.
