No Such Thing as a Biblical Diet: A Contradiction in Terms
Posted by Edward Cross on June 30, 2026
Daniel's fast, the clean and unclean of Leviticus, the back-to-Eden vegan plan — every so-called biblical diet borrows food rules God gave to other people under other programs. Rightly divided, none of them binds the Body of Christ, to whom God gave liberty at the table with thanksgiving.
Good Friday, Good Grief: Why Christ Was Not Crucified on a Friday
Posted by Edward Cross on June 29, 2026
Good Friday and a Sunday-sunrise resurrection are tradition, not Scripture. The Lord gave one sign — three days and three nights in the heart of the earth — and only a Wednesday cross and a Saturday-evening rising can pay it. A study of the high sabbath, the two sabbaths, the Passover, and why no day is a holy day for the Body.
Prove All Things: Answering the Objections to Mid-Acts
Posted by Edward Cross on June 26, 2026
When a believer first hears that the Body of Christ began with Paul, the objections come fast. This study takes the strongest arguments against Mid-Acts right division — Pentecost, one body, two gospels, the Great Commission, novelty, and more — and answers each from the Scriptures rightly divided.
Does Sharing a Prayer Request Get God's Attention?
Posted by Edward Cross on June 26, 2026
Two beliefs run on one mistake: that sharing a prayer request gets God's attention and a quicker answer, and that making a need known is weak faith or manipulation. Both borrow Israel's kingdom machinery of importunity, numbers, and pooling. The Body already has access; disclosure is fellowship, not a lever, and the sin lies only in the manner.
The Church that Kept the Wrong Apostle: Two Departures and What Became of the Remnant
Posted by Edward Cross on June 26, 2026
How the post-apostolic church came to keep the wrong apostle — exalting Peter, whom Scripture never made its head, while forsaking Paul. Two departures, the rise of the apostate church, what became of Israel's believing remnant, and the test that still exposes another gospel.
What Is Wrong With Reformed Theology: The Failure to Rightly Divide
Posted by Edward Cross on June 26, 2026
The deepest problem with Reformed theology is not any one of its five points but the method beneath them: a Bible read flat, without rightly dividing the word. Sort the texts — Israel's national election from the Body's election in Christ, predestination from selection, sovereignty without the caricature — and the system dissolves, leaving a God mo…
Where Two or Three are Gathered: A Courtroom, Not a Prayer Meeting
Posted by Edward Cross on June 26, 2026
Matthew 18:20 is read as a prayer-meeting promise, and binding and loosing as a tool for spiritual warfare. In its paragraph it is kingdom discipline — witnesses, a verdict bound in heaven, the King presiding over Israel's assembly. The Body of Christ holds no such keys; its discipline corrects the walk and never touches the sealed standing.
Fallen from Grace: A Fall Toward Law, Not Into Sin
Posted by Edward Cross on June 25, 2026
Paul's words fallen from grace are taken as proof the saved can be lost. In their setting they mean almost the opposite of misbehavior: a fall toward law, not into sin. Rightly divided, the standing in grace cannot be lost — what falls is the walk, when a believer trades grace as his operating principle for the law.
