Exploring the Scriptures & Church History to see where we end up! Hi, I'm Luke.

I have a BA (hons) in Biblical and Applied Theology and I love to discuss and think about The Faith and all the implications of following Jesus, not only in my personal life, but also how that should look in the world at large. I believe bad theology can be like a cancer in the Church, leading individuals and groups of people down the wrong path. It may only start small, but if certain beliefs are

n't corrected or are left to develop without any proper teaching or study, it can become something disastrous - often shipwrecking people's faith. Now I'm not saying I have all the right answers or have got my theology all perfect and neat - I am ever learning and studying the Scriptures too! I just hope that the topics and areas of theology and faith that I've taken the time to study in depth will be of some help and use to others who may not have the time or opportunity to do the same for themselves. My aim is to enable people to think (or rethink) about what they believe; to question long-held doctrines they've been taught, and see what rings true and valid by the Scriptures. The truth will always be vindicated and will hold up under scrutiny, while the rest will be stripped away. So I invite you to explore the Scriptures with me, take a journey through theological depths, and see where you come out - but above all, to make sure that the way you were taught to follow Jesus, is ultimately the way that Scripture teaches.

I knew he had said some dodgy stuff, but I didn't realise it was so much! 🤯

Important reminder:

An example of someone who is “getting away with it.”

THIS is the guy who wrote “The Passion Translation” of the Bible, which has been endorsed by Bethel Church and is still available on YouVersion and other apps, despite the fact that it has been panned by numerous scholars as unreliable.

Does Brian Simmons deny that he said these things?

This is stuff Brian Simmons, author of The Passion Translation of the Bible, has claimed… (I have video footage of all of these claims)

1. He's gone to heaven, grabbed two books from “the library of heaven” and brought them back to earth.

2. Billy Graham visited him in a dream.

3. God gave him secrets of Hebrew and Greek that he has used to make his new translation of the Bible.

4. His wife has levitated off the ground twice and has seven dreams from God every night.

5. The great last days harvest will begin in 2013 when every stadium in New York will be filled with evangelistic activities, and continue through 2020 when it will really ramp up. (Imagine someone prophesying that 2020 will be a great year of public outreach events). 30 million Americans will get saved during this time.

6. Between 2015 and 2016, 20% of Californians will get saved.

7. He went on a long ride, on a fiery chariot, through the northeast area of the U.S. and watched the sunrise with “a prophet whose name you would know.”

8. God touched his head and supernaturally “expanded the capacity” of his brain. Brian says he confirmed this with a “top brain mapping scientist.”

9. One day in the future God will give him a book that has all the unwritten works of Jesus. This will spark a massive new revival around the world.

10. Brian will one day have so much glory on him that people within a 50 mile radius will feel it.

11. One day soon (as of several years ago) God would literally put supernatural pillars of fire over church buildings so that people won’t have to ask where the church is. They will see it.

12. Brian understands the book of Revelation better than other people because God gave him the “spirit of revelation.”

13. Adam teleported around the Garden of Eden.

14. In order for him to translate the Bible he says “It was like I received a chip” in his head and that “Immediately, downloads came.”

15. Many of his supernatural revelations and new understandings of the Bible are not only included in his Passion Translation of the Bible but are also included in the footnotes.

16. Fire once shot out of his head and caught a church on fire. They had to call the fire department and replace the sound system.

17. He once went to the store to get milk and the glory of God was so powerfully on him that everyone he passed by just fell over. He first thought they were all having heart attacks but then realized it was the glory.

18. He doesn’t understand why more people won’t call the Holy Spirit “her.”

Some of these claims can be tested and some can not. The ones that can be tested (such as prophecy about stadiums and specific numbers of people getting saved) are demonstrably false. What does that tell you about the ones that can’t be tested?

Another prime example of why we still need the creeds.

It's really not that difficult to understand or accept SBC 🤷‍♂️

After being tormented for a while, St Lawrence said: "I'm well done on this side. Turn me over!" 🤣

He might be my new favourite martyr 😅
