Lesson Aim: To help believers understand conservative theology as a biblical commitment to preserving sound doctrine, the authority of Scripture, and the foundational truths of the Christian faith.

LIBERALISM AND ITS THEOLOGY. Dr. Benson Omole. "According to Britannica, theological liberalism is a movement in Protestantism  that establishes religious inquiry on the basis of reason and experience rather than traditional authority. It seeks to ...focusing on inner motivation and adapting faith to modern intellectual, scientific, and ethical understandings." The liberal approach to Bible commands, often associated with theological modernism, shifts authority from the literal text of Scripture to contemporary experience, reason, and social context. This approach often interprets commands as historical, culturally conditioned, or metaphorical guidelines rather than absolute, universal imperatives.  Key Aspects of the Liberal Approach to Bible Commands includes: a. Reinterpretation Over Obedience:  Liberal theology frequently reinterprets traditional commands, particularly those concerning sexuality or gender roles, to fit modern, progressive social values. b....

A LETTER TO ALL MEN. Dear Men, If you want to rise in this life, understand this truth: not every hole is pleasure — some are poison. Not every woman is a blessing — some are the reason great men fall from thrones to dust. The world no longer destroys men with swords. It destroys them with seduction. Beauty has buried more destinies than bullets ever did. Let’s speak brutally, truthfully, unapologetically. 1️⃣ YOUR ERECTION IS NOT A COMPASS If your body leads you, your future will mislead you. A man who obeys every urge becomes a slave to his own weakness. Every time you chase lust, you lose direction. Every careless release drains discipline. A man who cannot command himself will be commanded by life. 2️⃣ SOME SKIRTS HIDE SNAKES Pretty faces can hide wicked spirits. Soft voices can carry deadly intentions. You think you found comfort — you found a curse. The woman you thought would heal you might be the one sent to break you. Lust blinds men faster than darkness ever could. 3️⃣ SEX IS...

THE PEARL OF GREAT VALUE   MATTHEW 13: 45-46. Jesus had just finished explaining to His disciples the meaning of the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, and these two short parables are a continuance of His discussion of the “kingdom of heaven.”  He expressed truths about the kingdom in these parables in Matthew 13:  a. the seed and the sower (vv. 3-23) and  b. the weeds in the field (vv. 24-30);  c. the mustard seed (vv. 31-32) and  d. the leaven (v. 33); and  e. the hidden treasure (v. 44)  f. and the pearl of great price (vv. 45-46). Jesus taught these parables to emphasize how men should treasure and value the kingdom of heaven. "The whole point of the parable is the joy with which the man finds the treasure, and his abandonment of everything else in order to secure it" (B.T.D. Smith, Cambridge Greek Testament: The Gospel According to Matthew, p. 141).   There are several lessons in this parable which deserve our careful ...

Sola Scriptura. Benson Omole ThD, DD. Sola scriptura 📖 is a theological term meaning "Scripture alone" in Latin. Core Ideas. Bible as ultimate authority: In Christianity, it emphasizes the Bible as the sole infallible rule of faith and practice. No tradition override: Scripture interprets itself; no church tradition or authority supersedes the Bible. Context. Reformation principle: Key to Martin Luther, Protestant Reformation, and the Restoration Movement. Contrasts with Catholic views: Catholicism includes tradition + Scripture as authorities. Want to dive deeper into its implications or compare with other theological principles? 📚 The phrase sola scriptura is from the Latin: sola having the idea of “alone,” “ground,” “base,” and the word scriptura meaning “writings”—referring to the Scriptures.
