Speculation and Sound Doctrine: Where the Line Must Be Drawn
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
Soundness on the text is no guarantee of soundness everywhere. Some in the grace movement press the rightly divided word past what it states into speculation — such as the claim that the Body of Christ replaces fallen angels. This piece draws the line between what God has plainly said and what men build on top of it.
The Defenders of the King James: The Question Beneath the Manuscripts
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
A companion to Preserved, Not Re-Inspired. Beneath the manuscript debate lies a question about God: would He hold His people accountable to His word and leave them unable to know which words are His? This piece weighs the defenders worth reading and those to be read with discernment, and draws the line between preservation and re-inspiration.
Preserved, Not Re-Inspired: Why We Hold the King James
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
A defense of the King James as the providentially preserved word of God in English: that God promised to keep His words, that preservation runs through the received stream rather than the Alexandrian text behind the modern versions, and that the King James is final authority for the Body of Christ — preserved, not re-inspired.

Posted by Edward Cross on June 12, 2026
What we sing, we are taught. Paul files congregational singing under teaching and admonishing one another, so when the Body of Christ sings Israel's throne of grace, covenant showers, and earthly kingdom, she catechizes herself in the wrong program one beloved hymn at a time.

This article examines the difference between honest and deceitful handling of the word of God — proof-texting, the 'I've got a verse!' mentality, and how traditions depend on imprecision to survive — with examples from James 2, Acts 2:38, and Matthew 28.
Borrowed Words, Borrowed Doctrine
Posted by Edward Cross on June 5, 2026
Religious vocabulary borrowed from the wrong program imports the wrong doctrine along with it. This article examines how words like worship, disciple, born again, tithing, and church carry their original program into the Body of Christ when applied incorrectly, and why Paul commanded holding fast the form of sound words.
