Must We Come to the Throne of Grace? Why Hebrews 4:16 Is Not Written to the Body of Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on June 12, 2026
Hebrews 4:16 tells its readers to come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace in time of need. But Paul tells the Body of Christ we already stand in grace, seated in Christ, blessed with all spiritual blessings. Here is why that beloved verse belongs to Israel's believing remnant, not to us.
No Such Thing as a Christian Sabbath or Holy Day: Contradictions in Terms
Posted by Edward Cross on June 11, 2026
The Sabbath was Israel's covenant sign — never given to the Body of Christ. This article examines Seventh-day Sabbatarians, Sunday-as-Sabbath Christians, and the church holy day calendar, showing why the unspoken requirement to observe certain days is the most oppressive form of calendar bondage. Paul settles it in Colossians 2:16.
Rightly Dividing or Wrongly Accusing: A Response to Ruckman's Attack on Mid-Acts Dispensationalism
Posted by Edward Cross on June 10, 2026
Peter Ruckman's 1985 booklet attacking Mid-Acts dispensationalism substitutes ridicule for exegesis. This systematic response examines each argument on its merits — showing that Ruckman's scriptural case is weaker than his confidence suggests, his own dispensationalism has fewer proofs than ours, and the apostle Paul's plain words about his own gos…
They Shall Never Perish: Kingdom Salvation, Eternal Life, and the Resurrection of Israel's Remnant
Posted by Edward Cross on June 8, 2026
Christ promised His sheep eternal life and that they would never perish — and He meant it.

Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
Kingdom salvation is a full program — repentance, baptism, endurance to the end — grounded in the New Covenant made with Israel, enforced by real warnings, and heading toward national fulfillment when the King returns. This article covers the conditions, the Remnant epistles, Matthew 24, Hebrews 6, Acts 15:11, and why both programs must stay in the…
Paul Was Right — The Antioch Incident of Galatians 2:11-14
Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
At Antioch, Paul withstood Peter to the face. Understanding why he was right — and what he was actually defending — reaches further than most readers expect. This was not only a dispute about how someone is saved. It was a dispute about how a saved person lives.
Is Confessing Christ with Your Mouth Necessary?
Posted by Edward Cross on June 4, 2026
Romans 10:9 is embedded in Paul's explanation of Israel's stumbling, not a universal salvation formula. This article examines what kingdom confession meant, why heart-faith alone saves the Body of Christ, and why the sinner's prayer is not what Paul had in mind.

Posted by Edward Cross on June 1, 2026
James, Peter, John, Jude, Hebrews, and Revelation were written to believing Israel under the prophetic program, not to the Body of Christ. This article identifies who wrote them, who they were addressed to, and why their doctrines differ sharply from Paul's letters.
