This second volume covers controversial theologies, cultic and aberrant doctrines, and ethics and the Christian life. Controversial theologies are areas in which conservative (a.k.a. evangelical) Christians disagree. Cultic and aberrant doctrines are teachings of groups or individuals that are outside of the norm for evangelical Christianity. Ethics are moral issues in which there is a specific conservative Christian stance. The Christian life refers to lifestyle issues and decisions that many Christians struggle over. The author’s viewpoint is best described as evangelical Protestant, with a Reformed-Baptist perspective. The format for most of these studies is to present both the Scriptural evidence for the author’s viewpoint and the evidence cited by those who promote “opposing viewpoints.” Then rebuttals to these opposing viewpoints are given. < Less

The New World Translation (NWT) is published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. This is the organization that... More > Jehovah’s Witnesses belong to. But how reliable is this Bible version? This review will evaluate the NWT by looking at select passages from Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians.

The standards I will use here are the same standards that I use in evaluating over thirty versions of the Bible in my book Differences Between Bible Versions. Simply put, does the translation faithfully and accurately render the Greek text into English?

More specifically, are words translated correctly? Are words left untranslated? Are words added without any indication that they have been added? Are the grammatical forms of words altered? Are phrases paraphrased rather than translated? How readable is the text? And how reliable is the Greek text being translated? < Less

I was a national champion powerlifter in college. In the 123 pound weight class, I was able to squat and deadlift over 400... More > pounds. But I had to cease competing due to low back pain that developed in the fall of 1982. For the next thirteen years the pain or the fear of it severely limited what physical activities I could engage in.

The pain worsened in the spring of 1994, and I was crippled by it for the next six years. I couldn’t lift more than two pounds without ending up in pain. I also had to spend the bulk of my day laying flat on my back.

During these years, I tried just about every available traditional and alternative treatment. But nothing worked. However, I finally found complete relief in the spring of 2000. And since that time the pain has not returned in any significant degree. In fact, I am now powerlifting again and once again squatting and deadlifting over 400 pounds.

This booklet describes the traditional and alternative treatments that I tried and what finally worked. < Less
