“As a man, He lived the most strangely beautiful life ever known. He was the kindest, tenderest, gentlest, most patient, most sympathetic man that ever lived. He loved people. He hated to see people in trouble. He loved to forgive. He loved to help. He wrought marvelous miracles to feed hungry people. For relieving the suffering He forgot to take food for Himself.

It is said of him, and of no other, that if all the deeds of kindness that he did were written, the world would not contain the books. That is the kind of man Jesus was. That is the kind of person God is.” —Henry H. Halley
The Lordship Salvation Heresy aka “Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior”
This is a fallacy of the antecedent, where the answer to “What must I do to be saved?” is appended with some form of “and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or some derivative of the sentiment. This question was answered in Acts 16:31: “..Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” That’s it. The Bible is plain and meant to be understood by the simplest of minds—no advanced degree required. However, there are people who push this “AND” fallacy and complicate a very simple principle. There’s a dew-moist and moss-laden path consisting of “works” that need to be done at the end of this particular heresy. From fortheloveofhistruth.com: Those who embrace the teaching of Lordship…
“Christ Is the Center and Heart of the Bible” Sermon by Henry H. Halley
The Old Testament is an account of a nation. The New Testament is an account of a MAN. The nation was founded and nurtured of God to bring the Man into the world. God Himself became a man, to give mankind a concrete, definite, tangible idea of what kind of person to think of when we think of God. God is like Jesus. Jesus was God incarnate in human form. His appearance on the earth is the central event of all history. The Old Testament sets the stage for it. The New Testament describes it. As a man, He lived the most strangely beautiful life ever known. He was the kindest, tenderest, gentlest, most patient, most sympathetic man that ever…
Earth shape
Isaiah 40:22 “[It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:” Isaiah 22:18 “He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord’s house.” The Bible says that a circle is not a ball, or these two verses would have been equivalent and used the same word. The KJV uses precise language to teach concepts, and to help the student rightly divide the truth ( 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to…
Who killed Goliath?
According to the ESV, NIV, NASB95, NASB and others, it was Elhanan. 2 Samuel 21:19 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ESV & others: 21:19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and v Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. Even a mainstream site thinks this is a problem.
