Speculation and Sound Doctrine: Where the Line Must Be Drawn
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
Soundness on the text is no guarantee of soundness everywhere. Some in the grace movement press the rightly divided word past what it states into speculation — such as the claim that the Body of Christ replaces fallen angels. This piece draws the line between what God has plainly said and what men build on top of it.
The Defenders of the King James: The Question Beneath the Manuscripts
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
A companion to Preserved, Not Re-Inspired, and a different kind of defense. The King James question is not finally settled in the manuscript debate; beneath it lies a question about God — would He hold His people accountable to His word and yet leave them unable to know which words are His? This piece answers there, on God's promise to keep what He…
The Kingdom of God: Two Realms, Two Hopes, Two Inheritances
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
Scripture flattens "the kingdom of God" into one destiny, but rightly divided it embraces two realms — one earthly, one heavenly — with two peoples, two hopes, and two inheritances. This article shows why flesh and blood inherits Israel's earthly kingdom, why only the incorruptible can enter the heavenly realm of the Body of Christ, and how keeping…
The Seal of the Holy Spirit: Sealed Unto the Day of Redemption
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
Paul states it twice and assumes it everywhere: the believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit the moment he believes, unto the day of redemption. This study traces what the seal is, what the earnest guarantees, and what it means to grieve a Spirit who can never leave the one He has sealed.
Where Does Acts End and the Mystery Begin? The Dispensational Boundary
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
The dispensational boundary is not a single line but a corridor with two walls. The mystery and the Body of Christ began at Acts nine, with Paul; the transitional overlap of Israel's program and the mystery closed at Acts twenty-eight. Not Acts 2 and not Acts 28 — Acts is the record of the transition between the two walls.
Prayer in the Dispensation of Grace: Praying as Paul Taught, Not as Israel Was Instructed
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
Much of what Christendom calls prayer was given to Israel — kingdom petitions, conditional forgiveness, and an anxious checklist of unanswered prayer. Paul gives the Body of Christ its own doctrine of prayer, continual and thankful and interceding, asking chiefly for wisdom and the inner man, on the ground of a finished work.
Preserved, Not Re-Inspired: Why We Hold the King James
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
Someone tells you a reading is not in the Greek — how should you answer? This is a full defense of the King James as the providentially preserved word of God in English: that God promised to keep His words, that preservation runs through the received stream rather than the narrow Alexandrian text behind the modern versions, and that the King James …
The Unreliability of Red Letter Bibles
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
The red letters in your Bible are not an inspired marking but an 1899 printing decision. The format teaches a false hierarchy of Scripture, buries the words the risen Christ speaks through Paul, and presses Israel's kingdom instructions onto the Body of Christ. Right division, not the color of the ink, is the reliable guide.
