Election and Freewill – The Quest Begins
Two pillars of the Early Christian Church – Peter and Paul – wrote separately on the subject of salvation, yet with complete unanimity and absolute harmony. In other words, they both believed and taught the same truths concerning God, Christ and man, in that order. Yet it seems to me that there is a man-made system of theology which distorts these truths, clouding understanding. In the first of three articles I prepare the ground of my study into this subject.

Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Lord Jesus Christ
This article is an introduction to a mini-series of six articles under the heading of “Christianity and Jehovah’s Witnesses”, prompted by three portions of Scripture:
This article is an introduction to a mini-series of six articles under the heading of “Christianity and Jehovah’s Witnesses”, prompted by three portions of Scripture:
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “...what will be the sign of your coming at the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no-one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many...For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect” (Matthew 24:3-5,24).
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them...Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute (2 Peter 2:1,2).
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognise the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God (1 John 4:1-3).

These words from Scripture may well have been written with people like the Jehovah’s Witnesses in mind, as we shall see through this series of six articles dealing specifically with the erroneous teaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. Whilst it is recommended that all six articles should be read to receive a complete overview of the subject, each article is self contained as it deals with one aspect of false teaching only, so for those requiring limited or specific information, reading a single article may well suffice.

A New Approach to Education? COMMITMENT
The title of this series poses a deliberate question. In recent years there has been much talk and debate, abundance of literature and frequent conferences held, each discussing what has come to be called “the experiential approach”. But is this really a new approach to Christian education? Would it not be nearer the mark to say that this is a new discovery of an old truth? A case of at last recognising the facts and applying them? This series of articles, originally published in 1977, seeks to explore five aspects of this concept.
