The Sovereignty of God. An absolutely brilliant critique of Calvinism by Victor Christensen. Victor shows how the Calvinist ideas of unconditional election and irresistable grace are modern inventions with Greek roots that destroy the Gospel. Dan Corner may spend 800 pages of detail in his book, but Victor offers us a few pages of passion for lost souls.

Good and Bad News: The Biblical Concept of Personality Development. An allegory by Tanya Tsygulska-Noel Ph.D. How does God provide for mankind to be well-adjusted?

The State of the Dead

What Really Happens When You Die? Many churches teach that when you die your "soul" goes to heaven. What does the Bible actually say?

Objections to the Doctrine of Soul Sleep. Many texts are used to argue against soul sleep. What is the Bible really saying in these passages?

The Sanctuary and the State of the Dead. Does the operation of the heavenly sanctuary have any bearing on whether a person is aware after death? This essay has surprised even professional theologians.

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is often used to support the idea that saints go to heaven when they die. See what a careful examination of the biblical and extrabiblical evidence reveals. The "Bosom of Abraham" isn't what a lot of people insist it is.

The Fate of the Wicked

Do the Words Mean What They Say? - This is the appendix to I Want to be Left Behind. It was written by Ed Christian PhD, and explores what the Bible says about the final fate of those who reject Christ.

The Sabbath

The majority of Christians attend church on Sunday, believing that they are following God's word. Yet Jesus observed the Jewish Sabbath, and taught more about the Sabbath than about any other single subject. What day should we keep holy?
Welcome to a discussion between your webmaster and Dr. Richard Bacon regarding the question of whether the Sabbath should be observed from sundown to sundown on Saturday or Sunday. Unfortunately this discussion was terminated by Dr. Bacon.

The Christian Sabbath
A work in progress. This book will trace the history of the Sabbath from Creation to the Kingdom. Following that, modern objections to the Sabbath will be considered. Is the seventh-day Sabbath obsolete, done away with, or the proper day for Christians to meet with their God?
