Transformed as the Ministers of Righteousness: The Disguise Is Perfect and the Test Is Doctrine
Posted by Edward Cross on September 8, 2026
Paul warned that Satan's ministers appear as ministers of righteousness, not as open enemies. This study examines why the counterfeit stands inside the Christian column rather than beside it, why sincerity, results and personal godliness cannot test a teacher, and what Paul actually gives the Body to test him with.
Redemption Is Not a Covenant Remedy — Answering a Preterist Use of Hebrews 9:15
Posted by Edward Cross on September 6, 2026
A graphic circulating online asks how a man never under the first covenant could be redeemed from transgressions under it. The question carries a premise it never states: that the only redemption there is, is redemption from covenant transgressions. Paul says guilt reached men who never had a covenant to break, and so does the remedy.
The Fold Is a Place, Not a People — Rightly Dividing the Other Sheep of John 10:16
Posted by Edward Cross on September 6, 2026
Who are the other sheep of John 10:16? The dispute turns on a word neither side had stopped to define. Scripture uses fold of a place — something built, entered, left or become — and never once of a people. Define the word and the sentence reads itself: Israel's own scattered, brought back to one fold under one shepherd.
The Former Days Were Not Better — Nostalgia, the Christian Nation, and the Post You Were Given
Posted by Edward Cross on September 1, 2026
Believers ache for a past that was more moral and more Christian, and grieve a covenant they believe the nation broke. But the remembered age never existed as remembered, no Gentile nation was ever in covenant with God, and Scripture rebukes the longing itself. A look at nostalgia, the Christian nation, and the post God actually gave you.
Why They Fight OSAS — The Self-Righteousness Beneath the Objection
Posted by Edward Cross on August 30, 2026
Opposition to once saved, always saved seldom turns on the verses it quotes. This article traces the objection to its root — a righteousness a man built himself, and the distance from other men that grace erases — then divides the passages. Israel's salvation is an inheritance received at the end; the Body's was handed over at the beginning.
Sorceries Is Not Pharmacy — What the Word Actually Covered
Posted by Edward Cross on August 26, 2026
You have probably heard that the word translated sorceries is where we get our word pharmacy, and that Revelation therefore condemns the drug industry. This examines the method behind that claim, why the passages themselves refuse it, and what your King James already tells you without help from a lexicon.
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.
