A false gospel is a gospel that gives a false hope. It does so by preaching a false Christ. There are various ways of preaching a false Christ. Arminians preach a Christ who does not actually save, that puts salvation into the believer's own hands, emphasizing the decision to follow Christ otherwise Christ cannot actually …

Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ
Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ is the title of a book by John Bunyan, "the Bedford tinker". It is a good title, expressing the essence of the Gospel Call, that all who hear about Jesus Christ are welcome to learn what He has to offer and what He can do for them. Jesus' offer …
Presbyterian prejudices
I have recently published a few blogposts on Presbyterianism. I am familiar with other branches of Christ's visible church and I critique many unbiblical doctrines promoted by these, but zugological balance necessitates the critique of those that are nearer home. I have already done so with evangelical errors but Presbyterianism itself needs not only a …
Andy Burnham is not Prime Ministerial material
The title of this blogpost has been almost superceded by the shocking unilateral behaviour of Britain's first Roman catholic Prime Minister. I had intended to draw attention to his manifest inadequacy as leader of this country, but his latest move only serves to show how much of a puppet he is, moved by others to …

Legislating for atheism
The Assisted Dying Bill began its discussion in the House of Commons today. Officially called The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, the concept of assisted dying does not occur in the title.

The Reformation of Presbyterianism
Current Presbyterianism needs a Reformation as surely as Roman catholicism needed it in the 16th century, and still needs it in the 21st century. Roman catholicism never learned from the Protestant Reformation, but instead it battened down the hatches and carried on worse than before. This is a natural reaction, and not many people learn …
The spirit and form of Presbyterianism
If you ask what Presbyterianism is, you may be told that that it is a form of church government in which the church is structured in a hierarchical manner with lower courts subordinate to higher courts until a General Assembly oversees them all. This is inadequate. This describes the form, not the substance nor the …
The religion of politics
There are many forms of religion in the world. The religion of politics is preached by politicians who promise equality, justice and peace on Earth and young people are duped into believing them. This is not a religion about the salvation of one's soul but about the improvement of one's bodily and social conditions. Many …
BBC standards slipping
Many people will be aware about the attacks on BBC impartiality. This is probably one factor in the falling numbers of TV licence holders. The rules about the licence fee. Various scandals have not helped the public perception of the Corporation, from the top downwards. When veteran John Humphrys retired from the BBC flagship Today …
