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.
Where Does Acts End and the Mystery Begin? The Dispensational Boundary
Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026
The dispensational boundary is not a single line but a corridor with two walls. The mystery and the Body of Christ began at Acts nine, with Paul; the transitional overlap of Israel's program and the mystery closed at Acts twenty-eight. Not Acts 2 and not Acts 28 — Acts is the record of the transition between the two walls.
Prayer in the Dispensation of Grace: Praying as Paul Taught, Not as Israel Was Instructed
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
Much of what Christendom calls prayer was given to Israel — kingdom petitions, conditional forgiveness, and an anxious checklist of unanswered prayer. Paul gives the Body of Christ its own doctrine of prayer, continual and thankful and interceding, asking chiefly for wisdom and the inner man, on the ground of a finished work.
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.
The Unreliability of Red Letter Bibles
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
The red letters in your Bible are not an inspired marking but an 1899 printing decision. The format teaches a false hierarchy of Scripture, buries the words the risen Christ speaks through Paul, and presses Israel's kingdom instructions onto the Body of Christ. Right division, not the color of the ink, is the reliable guide.
The Will of God for the Body of Christ: Found in Paul, Not in Signs and Fleeces
Posted by Edward Cross on June 15, 2026
Believers leaving experiential Christianity are still taught to find God's will by signs, fleeces, open doors, and inner promptings. Paul knows none of it. This study lays out the grace believer's real path to God's will: largely revealed and plainly stated, the rest proved by a renewed mind walking in wisdom, the outcome trusted to providence.
Did Paul Write Hebrews, and Why It Doesn't Matter
Posted by Edward Cross on June 14, 2026
The epistle to the Hebrews names no human author, and faithful men have argued the point for two thousand years. This companion study lays out the full case for Pauline authorship and the full case against, weighs each, and shows why the answer changes no doctrine — a letter is governed by its audience, not its penman.
