Historical Theology

Is Mary really the “New Eve,” or is this a theological stretch that goes beyond Scripture? This article walks through what biblical typology actually is, tests the Mary–Eve claim against Scripture, and exposes how well-meaning theology can subtly shift our focus away from Christ. If the Bible doesn’t make the connection, should we?

Many Christians refer to Mary as “our mother,” but is that language actually rooted in Scripture? This post explores what the Bible truly says about Mary’s role, examines how this idea developed in church history, and challenges readers to consider whether our theological language is shaped by God’s Word or by tradition.

Is calling Mary the “Mother of God” the clearest way to express biblical truth? While the phrase was meant to protect Christ’s identity, it often creates confusion that requires immediate clarification. This post explores whether our theological language should go beyond what Scripture says, or remain anchored in the clarity Scripture itself provides.

Is Sola Scriptura self-defeating? At first glance, the argument seems airtight. If all doctrine must come from Scripture, where does Scripture teach that? But this objection only works if Sola Scriptura is misunderstood. This article redefines the principle, exposes the category error, and shows how Scripture’s authority, sufficiency, and use reveal it as the final standard for truth.

Is apostolic succession a reliable guarantee of truth? In this in-depth theological analysis, we examine the argument of Irenaeus of Lyons against Gnosticism and ask a deeper question: was his reasoning biblical or simply effective? By engaging primary sources, testing his claims against Scripture, and exploring modern parallels, this article challenges readers to rethink how truth is preserved in the church.

What does it mean to say the Bible is “God-breathed”? This blog unpacks the meaning of theopneustos (2 Tim. 3:16), showing that Scripture is not merely inspiring—but the very breath of God. We explore the Bible’s divine origin, dual authorship, inerrancy, and supreme authority. We answer objections, trace historical development, and expose the real issue behind tradition and ecumenical compromise: whether God’s Word is enough. When the Bible speaks, God still speaks.

This blog post dismantles the claim that Irenaeus taught the modern Catholic or Orthodox idea of apostolic succession. By examining his writings in historical context, citing respected historians—including Catholic scholars—it shows Irenaeus saw succession as preserving apostolic teaching, not passing mystical authority. The article exposes anachronism, critiques appeals to Sacred Tradition, and affirms the true mark of the Church: faithfulness to the apostolic gospel.

Can you be born again… again? If salvation can be lost, why isn’t baptism repeated? This post unpacks the logic behind the One Baptism Argument for eternal security. We examine Scripture, confront contradictions in baptismal regeneration, and reveal why the gospel offers something better than uncertainty. If you’ve ever wrestled with assurance—or the fear of falling away—this post will anchor you in the unshakable truth of God’s saving promise.

Can a true Christian lose their salvation? If so, how many sins would it take? In this post, we explore what Scripture doesn’t say—and why that silence matters. This is the Sin-Count Absurdity Argument: the Bible never gives a sin threshold because salvation was never built on your performance. It was built on Christ. If you’re tired of fear-based theology and want real assurance, this post will walk you through the logic, the warnings, and the hope of the gospel.

Many Christians affirm the threefold use of the law—but is it actually biblical?
