This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Conversion and Reversion
We ought to think long upon Christ and His sufferings. We ought not to convert to false religion, sects or cults. We ought not to revert back to the old ways of wrong religion. We ought to live for Christ and His teachings. We ought to not be like the dog that returns to its vomit. We ought to follow Christ and His divine truth. There is no reason to revert back to old religion that is known to perish, but we ought to live for Jesus and His truth. How can anyone pass up the awesome teaching of Christ living in us? How can any pass up the free forgiveness we have in Christ? How can anyone pass up the free grace of His pure and undefiled unified righteousness? There is no forgiveness in a false gospel. Feelings do not make forgiveness, but only His touch of forgiveness. If someone reverted back to a false way, they have embraced a false gospel. If a false gospel is embraced, there is no true conversion back to the truth. It is possible to convert or revert to a false religion not believing what that particular religion embraces. It is also possible to know full well what it teaches and convert in embracing false religion. Who would go away from this teaching by the apostle Paul in speaking of Christ and His righteousness, (Galatians 2:20-21 KJV, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain”).
