Over the years I have been asked this question many times. The question is scriptural and good, but I fear that it is often answered apart from any consideration of the Scriptures. This results in many people affirming to “have the Lord” when they know nothing of what the relationship involves or requires. If we intend […]

The Scriptures plainly teach that calling on the name of the Lord results in salvation. Nowhere is this affirmed more plainly than in Romans 10:13 — “for ‘Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” I would imagine that the vast majority of professing Christians believes that we must call on

Recently on the radio I heard a Baptist preacher talking about legalism. Legalism basically refers to the binding of man’s requirements instead of, or in addition to God’s requirements. We are warned in the New Testament not to do this. Jesus told His apostles they were to bind things that had already been bound in

In this eighth and final article in a series on Max King’s The Spirit of Prophecy, we notice briefly his case for Daniel’s prophecy on the 70 weeks (9:24-27). King has much to say about this prophecy throughout his book and lectures. The interpretations of this prophecy are legion, and it is not within the province

King versus Jesus, on Matt. 22:23-33. King, like the Sadducees of old, denies “a general resurrection of individual dead bodies” (A-194). No wonder, then, that this passage gives him trouble. But, give King credit: he does meet it head on in his book, although he employs his customary sophistry to set aside its obvious import.

The Preterist-View of prophecy denies that there will be a future, bodily resurrection of the dead from the graves! King, therefore, runs right into the face of such passages as Jn. 5:28,29 and 1 Cor. 15, but he has the special “tools” of an A. D. 70 Advocate to “explain away” the obvious import of

In this article we take up 2 Pet. 3:1-13, and elements. So obviously is this passage against King’s Preterist-View that he labors hard to “explain it away,” as he utilizes his favorite devices: ignoring of contexts, and running different ones together as if they applied to the same thing, play on words, and misuse of

This is article four of several reviewing Max King´s Spirit of Prophecy. He perverts the allegory of Paul, Gal. 4, doing some “allegorizing” of his own about “two sons in Abraham’s household at the same time,” and comes up with an “overlapping” of the “Jewish world” and the “Christian world.” His constant play on words is

One of Max King’s “big guns” is Rom.4:13. “According to Paul, a promise was given to Abraham that he and his seed would inherit a world” (A-33). “. . . he did not look for inheritance in the Jewish world, but rather the Christian world . . . This truth ismanifest in Heb.11:8-16” (A-34). “This

We continue our review of Max King’s book, The Spirit of Prophecy. The title is taken from Rev. 19:10, “for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” This is typical of King’s play on words. He needs some Scriptural approbation for his doctrine, and these words happen to come close to his “spiritual” interpretation
