Mis-Aligned Doctrine Through Songs: Why the Body of Christ Must Sing What Paul Taught
Posted by Edward Cross on June 12, 2026
What we sing, we are taught. Paul files congregational singing under teaching and admonishing one another, so when the Body of Christ sings Israel's throne of grace, covenant showers, and earthly kingdom, she catechizes herself in the wrong program one beloved hymn at a time. A plea to sing with understanding what is true of the Body of Christ.
Satan's Two Campaigns: His War on the Remnant and His War on the Body of Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on June 12, 2026
Satan is one adversary, but he does not wage one war. Toward Israel's remnant he is the accuser and the devourer, assaulting a salvation kept by endurance. Toward the Body of Christ he can only deceive, for our standing is sealed beyond his reach. Right division belongs to the doctrine of the devil no less than to the doctrine of grace.
Must We Come to the Throne of Grace? Why Hebrews 4:16 Is Not Written to the Body of Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on June 12, 2026
Hebrews 4:16 tells its readers to come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace in time of need. But Paul tells the Body of Christ we already stand in grace, seated in Christ, blessed with all spiritual blessings. Here is why that beloved verse belongs to Israel's believing remnant, not to us.
Begun Together: The Body of Christ and the Dispensation of Grace
Posted by Edward Cross on June 11, 2026
Did the Body of Christ and the dispensation of grace begin together, or did the administration start later with the prison epistles? Scripture's answer is that they began together at Acts nine, by the same revelation committed to Paul — the administration of grace cannot be dated apart from the people it governs.
No Such Thing as a Christian Sabbath or Holy Day: Contradictions in Terms
Posted by Edward Cross on June 11, 2026
The Sabbath was Israel's covenant sign — never given to the Body of Christ. This article examines Seventh-day Sabbatarians, Sunday-as-Sabbath Christians, and the church holy day calendar, showing why the unspoken requirement to observe certain days is the most oppressive form of calendar bondage. Paul settles it in Colossians 2:16.
The Blood of Christ and the Preaching of the Cross: Why Paul Could Not Preach a Bloodless or Generic Death
Posted by Edward Cross on June 11, 2026
The blood of Christ is the heart of the gospel Paul preached. This study traces what the blood accomplishes — propitiation, redemption, justification, reconciliation — and shows why Christ could not save by dying just any way. The shed blood and the cross were necessary, foretold in the Scriptures, and proven accepted by the resurrection.
Who Is Paul Protecting? Answering the Colossians 2 Objection
Posted by Edward Cross on June 11, 2026
A Facebook post claims Paul only taught believers not to be judged for keeping days — not that they should stop. This article examines the direction of Colossians 2:16, the Acts 15 council ruling, and what Paul's delight in the law actually means.
Rightly Dividing or Wrongly Accusing: A Response to Ruckman's Attack on Mid-Acts Dispensationalism
Posted by Edward Cross on June 10, 2026
Peter Ruckman's 1985 booklet attacking Mid-Acts dispensationalism substitutes ridicule for exegesis. This systematic response examines each argument on its merits — showing that Ruckman's scriptural case is weaker than his confidence suggests, his own dispensationalism has fewer proofs than ours, and the apostle Paul's plain words about his own gos…
