A new pseudo-Christian belief, Evangelical Conditionalism has embraced Physicalism and Annihilationism to create a doctrine antithetical to historic, orthodox, scriptural Christianity. This book draws the doctrine of Evangelical Conditionalism from an official source and examines it against the Scripture. Of special consideration is the impact Physicalism has on Christology, and Annihilationism has on eschatology.

The commentary is based on the fact the Revelation of Jesus Christ is not apocalyptic, it is not the work of John the apostle, it is a prophecy of yet-future events revealed to John by Jesus Christ. John wrote exactly what he saw and heard. Jesus is the author, John was the scribe and publisher. This volume is the third and final volume in the series. The earlier volumes are Revelation 1-7, Revelation 8-16. This commentary on Revelation 17-22 interprets the judgment of Babylon as a literal judgment, the second advent as the literal feet-on-ground return of Jesus Christ, the thousand year rule of the Davidic-Messianic Kingdom on earth as literal, and the Great White Throne, the Lake of Fire, the new heaven and earth, and the new Jerusalem on the new earth as literal events. The theological point of view is Reformed and Dispensational. The futurist model is applied. The interpretation rigorously and consistently applies the Historical-Grammatical hermeneutic to every verse, every doctrine, every symbol, every figure of speech. Symbols and figures of speech are interpreted by other biblical usage to reveal literal truths. To interpret this 66th book of the Bible I have applied what the Holy Spirit has revealed in the preceding 65 books.

The essential beliefs of the Christian faith are those which are the sine qua non (literally, "without which nothing"), that if missing or denied Christianity ceases to be genuine biblical apostolic Christianity. The doctrines in this book are those developed by the early church-the long-standing historic essentials-and other doctrines developed over the long history of the church in response to false teachings. There are a few that are a response to worldly culture and values invading-infecting-the New Testament church. This work is a concise and relatively non-technical presentation of what I believe are the essential doctrines every believer in Christ as Savior should believe, understand, and profess.

Marriage and Family: A Biblical Perspective explores the biblical principles and precepts-rules for living-that are the basis for the practical aspects of being married and raising a family. Along the way it does discuss a few "do this/don't do that" rules. Beginning with Adam and Eve, the book presents God's definition of marriage, what Jesus said about marriage, and clearly defines what marriage is and is not, in terms of how modern society views marriage. The biblical rules for sexual activity, friendship, dating, and courting are discussed. God's rules for being married and practicing parenting are presented in clear, easy-to-understand terms. God's view of divorce is thoroughly examined. Seven appendices repeat the rules (without the discussion) and answer questions on related issues.Anyone may read the book and profit from it, including Bible teachers and pastors preparing marriage and family classes. If you want to know the biblical view of sex, dating, courtship, marriage, parenting, and divorce Marriage and Family: A Biblical Perspective is the book for you.

The James Quiggle Translation of the New Testament (JQTNT) is the culmination of ten years of translation and exegesis of the New Testament books. My purpose was to produce a translation that replicated, as closely as possible, what I believe the original readers would have read in the autographs. The 1904 Nestle text was the primary text, supplemented by later editions, trusted lexicons, textual critics, and grammarians, and compared against eight older to modern translations dating from 1535 to 2005. The result is a translation that reflects the vocabulary and grammar of the New Testament text, and accurately communicates God's word to the believer.

The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ is a gospel harmony and exposition of the four gospels from two days before Christ's final Passover celebration through his Ascension into heaven. The gospel harmony is in the form of a combined narrative, using my translations of the four gospels. The harmony combines Matthew 26:1-28:20; Mark 14:1-16:20; Luke 22:1-24:53; and John 12:1-21:25 into a continuous, chronologically arranged narrative of the events and discourses. The exposition is based on my published commentaries on Matthew, Mark, and John, plus Luke's contribution to the gospel narratives, presenting a detailed explanation of the scriptures in the harmony. Combining the Scriptures into a continuous narrative at once reveals the agreement of the gospels. The authenticity, accuracy, and credibility of the four reports of the life of Christ is demonstrated. Many issues are resolved and insights gained. Among these are the Passover problem in John 18:28, Peter's two sets of three denials, and Christ's two scourgings by Pilate. Mark 16:9-20 is shown to harmonize with the reports of the other gospels. The problem of the supper at Bethany, reported on different days by John and the Synoptics, is resolved. A discussion of the relationship between ancient and modern days and dates precede the harmony, and two appendices discuss Peter's denials and Mark's ending. The harmony and exposition are structured in a day by day format, from Nisan 13 to Iyar 27 (April 1-May 17, AD 33). Every event and every discourse is included in the harmony and explained in the exposition. The Bible student will gain a new appreciation of the Person and work of Jesus the Christ.

The doctrine Jesus descended into hell has been professed and opposed from the earliest days of the church. Today the doctrine is professed by Anglican and Lutheran creeds and individual believers within various denominations. Did Jesus go to hell? This book thoroughly examines all the evidence for the doctrine, pro and con. A chapter each is devoted to the Apostolic Creed; a statement of the doctrine; the origin and history of the doctrine; doctrinal issues; what scripture says about Sheol, Hades, and paradise; he timeless efficiency of Christ's propitiation; scripture passages used to support the doctrine. Two appendices address recent developments in Annihilationism that impact the doctrine.Whether you believe Jesus descended into hell, or are trying to decide, here is a solid analysis of all the information for you to consider.

A Private Commentary on the Bible: Pastoral Letters, gives you a complete resource for studying an important section on Scripture concerned with the doctrine of ecclesiology: the doctrine of the New Testament church. Paul's pastoral letters speak to the work of a pastor, proper order in the local church, and various encouragements. Each letter has a primary focus: 1 Timothy, the pastor in the local church; Titus: the local church planter; 2 Timothy, encouraging the discouraged pastor. Nine appendices provide additional information on diverse subjects relevant to the exegesis.

The Epistle of Jesus to the Church is a commentary on the book of Revelation that assumes Jesus was the author and John the reporter of the words and events described. Here one will not find an explanation of an anti-Roman message written by John in hidden codes and apocalyptic motifs to fool Roman authorities. John the apostle and prophet was the faithful scribe, who did not create the message but faithfully and accurately described all that he saw and heard. This commentary follows the principle that the Scriptures explain themselves, because the Revelation is a word from Jesus to his church--a word that is grounded in the Scriptures. The Epistle of Jesus to the Church has been written with teachers, students, and pastors in mind. The interpretation of the book of Revelation is thorough; difficult passages are addressed, and plausible answers are provided to the questions posed by in-depth study of the biblical book. This is a commentary for personal study or classroom instruction, one that may be confidently used to preach and teach the Revelation of Jesus to the church.
