Hi Paul,
Good to hear from you again after all these years. I trust all is well with you. Thank you for your kind comment on the article. I hope you enjoy the rest of the site. I have got behind a bit with updates as I have been busy preaching away from home quite a bit recently.

Comment on The gospel is no longer enough by Paul Crooks

Hello Andrew, (if I may be permitted to still call you that), it’s been a while! Its good to know that you are still very much active in the work of the Lord. This is an excellent article! I commend you for it and trust that God will richly bless you for it and it as it is circulated. Long may you be permitted to continue to stand and battle for truth and righteousness in these days of apostacy in which we live!

Comment on Some things you should know about C. S. Lewis! by Warren Oldfield

Well written article and a wonderful discussion. I especially appreciate the fact that comments/responses were intelligent.

I hate to “throw the baby out with the bath water”, but in the case of CS Lewis’ theology/doctrinal beliefs… the baby just isn’t in the tub.

Comment on Christmas and the celebration of Christ’s birth by Andy Foster

Thanks for your comment.

In many of these things the individual Christian must make a personal judgement call before God as to how far they get involved. At the end of the day Christmas celebration is an activity that has no Biblical mandate or warrant whatever. The degree of our involvement in it must be determined by the other Biblical factors that influence the choices God’s people make every day.

It is my own feeling that as the modern Christmas becomes increasingly hostile to God and obviously promoting a false Christ the Christian can have less and less to do with it. I believe there comes a point where, even in matters of decorations and other lesser forms of involvement, it will be inappropriate for the Christian to be involved and will have to be abandoned to demonstrate separation from the wickedness and antichristianity that lies at the root of modern Christmas celebrations. There may be nothing per se in hanging up lights or using winter greenery as decoration etc BUT if doing those things identifies us with behaviours that are blatantly in defiance of God, then they become inappropriate for the Christian.

I hope this helps but if you still have specific points you wish to make please get in touch.
In may areas of religious tradition Biblical doctrine once lay at the heart of the observance but it has been eroded and turned into something contrary to truth. It has to be abandoned therefore for the sake of loyalty to the truth.

After reading this, I’m still confused. How would you suggest that we celebrate? Should we just try to separate these two things– Christmas and the Birth– or would you say we should just do away with ALL tradition? Truly interested, not saying your thoughts are wrong… I agree… but how do we change? What is the next step once we discover we’re not celebrating correctly?

I was initially tempted to delete this crass comment. Its very nature shows that the author knows little about Christ or His grace.
I would simply challenge the writer to refute from Scripture what I have written about Christmas.

This article is only contributing to the bastardizing of Christmas. Get it Christ Mas; the celebration of the birth of christ. You pagan idiot.

Comment on The Roman Catholic Mass by Andy Foster

Andy Foster — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 17:36:00 +0000

Dr. Scott Hahn may have changed his views but the Bible has not changed an iota in its condemnation of Roman Catholic dogma. In the final analysis it will not be how many converts Rome makes but the infallible, inerrant teaching of Scripture that will be proved to be true. Those who like Dr. Hahn convert to Rome make it more difficult perhaps for God’s faithful people to continue to stand against Rome’s error, but such an event cannot destroy the witness of the Bible.
It is to be noted that Dr. Hahn was a minister in the PCUSA – a ‘protestant’ denomination that has again just recently by its decision regarding same-sex relationships, proved that it is rife with unbiblical error. It is therefore not that significant that such a man should transfer from such a church to Rome. The difference was only in the degree of apostasy present in each organization!
