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.
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.
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.
The Commandments of the Lord: Why Paul's Commandments Are Not a New Law
Posted by Edward Cross on June 22, 2026
Paul calls his own writings the commandments of the Lord, yet says we are not under law but under grace. Both stand. A law conditions standing on performance and curses failure; Paul's commandments are given to sons already accepted, touch the walk but never the standing, come with the Spirit's power, and are fulfilled in liberty and love.
Did Any Remnant Believer Cross Into the Body of Christ?
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
During the Acts transition, could a believer of Israel's kingdom remnant cross into the Body of Christ? Scripture answers yes, and names the proof: Barnabas, Silas, and Apollos among the Body's own apostles and prophets, a whole assembly at Antioch, and the Israel of God. Yet the programs never merge and the twelve stay fixed.
Did Paul Write Hebrews, and Why It Doesn't Matter
Posted by Edward Cross on June 14, 2026
The epistle to the Hebrews names no human author, and faithful men have argued the point for two thousand years. This companion study lays out the full case for Pauline authorship and the full case against, weighs each, and shows why the answer changes no doctrine — a letter is governed by its audience, not its penman.
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…
Paul Was Right — The Antioch Incident of Galatians 2:11-14
Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
At Antioch, Paul withstood Peter to the face. Understanding why he was right — and what he was actually defending — reaches further than most readers expect. This was not only a dispute about how someone is saved. It was a dispute about how a saved person lives.
