Archaic, Not Ornamental — What Is Lost Without the Thees and Thous
Posted by Edward Cross on August 23, 2026
The most common complaint against the King James is that its archaic words make it hard to understand. But the thees and thous are not decoration — they are working parts, telling the reader whether God is speaking to one man or to a multitude. Modern English idiom has no second word to mark that, and this is what is lost when they go.
The Fear of Artificial Intelligence — Answered by Right Division
Posted by Edward Cross on August 21, 2026
Believers are being told that artificial intelligence is the image of the beast. It is not, and the passage will not carry the weight. This article traces the fear to the films and to a world already alarmed, and shows from Paul why a machine can neither rise above you nor teach you the things of God.
Which Temple Ye Are — Who Defiles the Temple of God, and Who Is Destroyed
Posted by Edward Cross on August 21, 2026
One of the hardest sentences Paul wrote appears to say a man's bad works can get him destroyed by God. Read whole, it says very nearly the opposite, and the clause most often left off the end is the one that answers it. Here is what defiling means in Paul's own vocabulary, and why the temple was never the thing in danger.
Seated Together in Heavenly Places — What It Means to Be Seated in Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on August 13, 2026
Paul says God hath made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Being seated is not the believer's location, nor merely his posture, but his position — a finished, shared, heavenly, and permanent place in the risen Christ, a seat that is also a throne. Here is what the seat means, and what it does not.
Bodily Exercise Profiteth Little: What Paul Teaches About the Body, the Games, and Godliness
Posted by Edward Cross on August 12, 2026
A boom in fitness and body-building ministries has made a single Pauline phrase newly awkward — bodily exercise profiteth little. But Paul is not scorning the body, nor blessing its worship. Read against the ancient games, he is doing something more useful than either the ascetic or the athlete expects. He is setting a priority.
The False Gods Worshipped in Churches: The Idols Behind the Worldly Church
Posted by Edward Cross on August 12, 2026
The golden calf was never announced as a rival god. Aaron called it a feast to the LORD. The idols in the modern church do the same thing: they wear the name of Jesus while the congregation worships its own appetites. This companion to The Worldly Church names the idols the heart actually serves, and the one god standing behind them all.
Reviving the Wrong Program: The Campus Revival and the Gospel It Masquerades
Posted by Edward Cross on August 12, 2026
A revival is being proclaimed across the nation's campuses — crowds, conversions, and a call to reclaim the nation for God. But the renewal of a nation is not the gospel of grace, a faith with no shared creed is not the faith once delivered, and a summons back to Sinai revives the wrong program. A look at what the campus revival actually revives.
That Is Just Your Interpretation — The Fallacy That Makes Truth Uncertain
Posted by Edward Cross on August 12, 2026
That is just your interpretation is not humility about a hard book — it is a weapon that makes truth unreachable, and a truth you cannot reach is a truth you cannot obey. Here is why the objection collapses, and why there is no such thing as your truth.
