Does the Great White Throne Judgment Show that Works Determine Destiny? (Rev 20:11-15) 

December 9, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Judgment according to works, Perseverance of the Saints
I was one of four authors of a book titled, Four Views on the Role of Works in the Final Judgment, published by Zondervan. In response to my claim that John 5:24 proves believers will not be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment, Dr. Tom Schreiner wrote, “Revelation 20:11-15 [refers to] the judgment of all people” (p. 53, emphasis his). In his own article, Schreiner wrote, “A quick survey of

The Non-Eternal Life Gospel (A Challenge) 

December 8, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Assurance, John 3:16; 4:14; 5:24; 6:47; 11:26, Repentance
I have spoken on behalf of GES for many years. Both verbally and in print, I and others like me have been labeled as “non-(fill in the blank) gospel” believers. We believe the unbeliever must believe in Jesus for eternal life in order to live with Him forever. Since it is eternal life, it cannot be lost. Most reject that. They say you don’t have to believe in Him for eternal life, but that you

“Have I Shown You My Iron Cross?” 

December 5, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - eternal life, Faith, Grace, Great White Throne, Matt 7:22, Rev 20:15
I recently heard a story that I’m pretty confident is true. Most of us have seen pictures of the warehouses at Auschwitz. The Nazis collected all the personal effects—shoes, clothes, jewelry, toys, etc.—of those who died in the gas chambers. There were warehouses full of these items.  I heard that the Auschwitz collection included a large box of German Iron Crosses. These crosses were one of the highest military honors a German

What Is Eschatological Salvation, and Do You Have It? 

December 4, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Final Judgment, Final Salvation
I don’t remember hearing the expression eschatological salvation when I was studying at Dallas Theological Seminary. But over the past thirty years or so I’ve noticed that expression occurring increasingly in the commentary literature. Some pastors are using it as well.   So, what is eschatological salvation?  Most commentators and theologians would define the term as “a future salvation that will grant one access into Christ’s kingdom.” In this view, at the final judgment Christ will send some into

Disunity: Not a Minor Problem 

December 3, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Cor 3:3, 12:25, 8:4-9, Church, Eph 2:10, Heb 13:7, Judg 6:1, Unity
Israel was at war. The Midianites and their allies had severely afflicted the nation for seven years (Judg 6:1). However, God raised up Gideon to defeat those enemies and bring relief.  When Israel went to war during the time of the judges, the battles were only regional. They never involved the whole nation. In each case, some tribes went to war while

What Is Open Theism and Why Is It Bad? 

December 2, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - open theism, Prophecy
Ricky asks, “Can you write an answer to Open Theology? I’m looking to answer a friend who hold to this heresy.”   I prefer the term Open Theism. We are all to be like the Bereans of Acts 17:11 who searched the Scriptures daily to see if the teaching they were hearing from Paul was correct. If Open Theism meant being open to God’s

Seek the Lord: He Will Find You 

December 1, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Forgiveness, Gideon, Grace, Heb 11:6, Judg 6:7-10
Most readers of this blog are familiar with Heb 11:6. It says that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. I was reading an OT passage recently that demonstrates the Lord’s grace in determining who it is that diligently seeks Him.  It’s likely that most of our readers are also familiar with the story of Gideon. During his day, the people of Israel were oppressed by the Midianites, a nomadic group

When Sarcasm Fails 

November 28, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 7:12, belief, discipline, Faith, Gideon, Judg 6:12-13
One of my many faults is that I’m sarcastic. I don’t think sarcasm is always wrong, but there have been many times when I’ve taken it too far. Even so, I love a good sarcastic remark.  We find an instance of this in Judg 6:13. The Angel of the Lord, the pre-Incarnate Christ, appears to Gideon while he is threshing wheat in a winepress. This was

Thanksgiving 24/7/365 

November 27, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Thessalonians 4:13, Thanksgiving
In everything [en panti] give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thess 5:18).   Some commentators suggest that the Greek words en panti in 1 Thess 5:18 should be always translated “always.” However, that expression means always in only three other NT occurrences.i That is why most translations render en panti as “in everything” (KJV, NKJV, NASB, NET, HCSB, LEB, ISV, DARBY) or “in all circumstances” (NIV, RSV, ESV, CEB) in

Judges and the Bema  

November 26, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Dan 12:3, Judg 4:9, judg 5:23-31, Matt 13:43, rewards
In Judges 5, there is a song of victory. God had called out His people to fight against their enemies. He promised that He would give them victory if they did. Some responded to the call. Others did not.  In the song, written by the prophet Deborah, she praises those who were faithful and rebukes
