By His Own Hand Upon Papyri: A Look at the Joseph Smith Papyri By: John Morey

Judaism By Dr. Robert A. Morey

The Valley of Foolosophy Part I, II and III By: Dr. Robert A. Morey | November 18, 19 & 20th, 2007
A satire dedicated to Evangelicals that love the Bible, and are unwilling to trade it for natural theology no matter how much whining is done about Evangelicals being “over-committed to the Bible!” Inspired by J.P. Moreland’s 2007 ETS address a few days ago. Last...

The Meaning, Mode, and Subjects of Baptism By Dr. Robert A. Morey
To discover the mind of God concerning the meaning, mode, and subjects of baptism is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Sacramentalists go outside of Scripture and appeal to the “Fathers” of the church, tradition, creeds, councils, and confessions. That Eastern...
Was Jesus a Pacifist? By Dr. Robert A. Morey
It would be difficult to overstate the importance of the Gospels. In the pages of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John we find the matchless words and life of the Lord Jesus. No literature, ancient or modern, can ever excel the beauty and depth of the words of Jesus, who...
The Early Church and War by Dr. Robert A. Morey
The early church’s beliefs about war have become a source of heated debate. Pacifists have dogmatically stated that all the Christian leaders before Constantine rejected war as immoral and renounced the military as an occupation for any Christian. For example, Roland...
Response to Gretchen Passantino on BML By Dr. Robert A. Morey
The "Bible Answer Man" with Hank Handicap Blows It Again! In a program last Thursday the claim was made that Dr. Robert Morey teaches, "We should bomb all the mosques all over the world." Of course, this is not only slander, but a bold-faced lie. The "Iron Maiden" of...
Grace, Faith, Free Will, by Robert E. Picirilli: Book Reviewed by Dr. Robert A. Morey

A Review of the Article “Where Did The Bible Come From?” by David J. Lose By Robert A. Morey
Since I have studied, lectured on, and written material on the “canonicity of Scripture” for 40 years, I read with interest the article by Dr. Lose addressing the subject. I was greatly disappointed. First, the “Bible” is not one book but a collection of 66 ancient...
The Passion By Dr. Robert A. Morey
After all the hype, I was extremely disappointed. 1. About 75% of the movie was not only fictional in nature but much of it contradicted the Biblical account. 2. My emotions were not stirred in the least and I was amazed that so many seeker type churches were rushing...

A Review of Rob Bell’s Book, Love Wins By Dr. Robert A. Morey
I carefully refuted the arguments for universalism in my book, Death and the Afterlife. It has been used in over 10 seminaries as the textbook on heaven and hell. I was surprised to find that Bell simply repeats the same old tired arguments I refuted. Bell's book is...
Political Correctness By Robert A. Morey
I told you this was coming for over twenty years. People called me crazy. Now, I am sad to say, "I told you so." As soon as we bomb the Kabah and reduce it to a hole in the ground, millions of lives and billions of money will be saved. Without that old pagan temple to...
