Rightly Dividing Pleading the Blood
Posted by Edward Cross on July 10, 2026
Believers are told to plead the blood over their homes, their children, their fears, even their thoughts. But where did the practice come from, and does Scripture, rightly divided, command it in any dispensation? A study of the blood across Passover, Israels program, and the mystery revealed to Paul.
Roman Catholicism Follows Neither Christ, Peter, nor Paul: The Church That Claims All Three and Keeps None
Posted by Edward Cross on July 2, 2026
Rome claims to follow Christ, Peter, and Paul — and by right division it follows none of the three. A stand-alone study of the papacy, the Mass, Mary, purgatory, confession, and tradition, showing that Rome, the Eastern churches, and Rome's Reformation daughters share one ancient error: works added to the finished work of Christ.
The Book of Matthew Wrongly Divided
Posted by Edward Cross on July 2, 2026
Matthew stands at the seam of right division. Peter Ruckman hands much of it back to Israel — the Sermon on the Mount, the Disciples' Prayer, conditional forgiveness — then pours the Body of Christ back in through his method of spiritual application. How a book gets wrongly divided even by a man who can see where its parts belong.
The Pearl of Great Price — What Is the Kingdom Worth?
Posted by Edward Cross on July 1, 2026
Popular readings make the pearl of great price into salvation, or Christ, or the Body of Christ. But the parable names its own subject — the kingdom of heaven — and presses its surpassing worth on the generation to whom it was offered. A study in rightly dividing the mysteries of the kingdom.
Grace Giving: What Replaces the Tithe in Practice
Posted by Edward Cross on June 30, 2026
The tithe was Israel's law, never laid on the body of Christ — so what replaces it? Paul gives something freer than a percentage: cheerful, purposed, proportionate giving that flows from grace already received. This study shows where grace giving comes from, what governs it, and where the gift goes.
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.
