    Publication Assumptions Even Impact Matthew’s Name

    January 3, 2025 - By admin

    How do assumptions regarding the publication date of Matthew’s Gospel and Matthean priority affect our interpretation of the book? Previously, we looked at how J. Oliver Buswell’s belief that Matthew was published after Paul’s writings impacted his identification of the elect in the Olivet Discourse. Today, we consider the identity…

    Rev. Norman Walker of West Ewell untwists the Scriptures

    December 1, 2024 - By admin

    In 1961, S. Vernon McCasland published an article entitled “Matthew Twists the Scriptures,” in which he charges the author of Matthew with distorting not only his Old Testament sources, but also his contemporary sources. Brazenly, McCasland begins his accusation by redirecting the expressed concern of 2 Peter 3:16 at the…

    Must we accept that none of the Gospels are chronological?

    November 25, 2024 - By admin

    A frequent refrain from scholars is that either none of the Gospels offer a fully chronologically-oriented account of the life of Christ or that it is Mark which is most likely to be chronological. In some cases, the determination appears to be tied to a favored theory of Gospel origins—that…

    When was the hemorrhaging woman healed?

    October 25, 2024 - By admin

    In this “Synoptic Sequences” series, we are working through some of the sequential differences which one finds when comparing Matthew’s Gospel to Mark’s Gospel, with the hope that the differences can be explained in a way that is consistent with my early Matthew proposition. Therefore, we’re approaching these sequential differences…

    Publication Assumptions Impact Buswell’s Interpretation of the Olivet Discourse

    October 6, 2024 - By admin

    Who are the elect in the Olivet discourse? For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for…

    Warfield and the Early Recognition of the NT Writings as Scripture

    September 1, 2024 - By admin

    I have asserted that the writings of the apostles were immediately recognized as Scripture (e.g., 1 Tim. 5:18; 2 Pet. 3:15–16; 2 Tim. 3:16). And further, that Galatians refers to something like Matthew’s Gospel, which was “previously written” prior to Paul’s first visit to Galatia. Here is my translation of…

    New Insights into Acts 18 and 19: Apollos, the Baptism of John, and the mighty Word of the Lord

    August 24, 2024 - By admin

    In Acts 18 and 19, we continue to highlight the essential role which Matthew’s Gospel played in Paul’s evangelistic endeavors. But first, let’s recap some of our prior observations and assertions: Paul in Corinth (Acts 18:1–17) In Corinth, Paul could once again be found every Sabbath reasoning in the synagogue…

    New Insights into Acts 16 and 17: Reasoning with God-fearers, Jews, and pagan philosophers

    August 19, 2024 - By admin

    I have argued that during his first missionary journey, Paul grounded his ministry in the use of a published Gospel—whether he was preaching and teaching or strengthening and encouraging the churches. Now, in this blog post, we consider three encounters between Paul and those in Macedonia and Achaia during his…
