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…
Following Paul Is Following Christ — and Not Following Paul Is Disobedience to Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
The risen Christ appeared to Paul, commissioned him, and made his letters the commandments of the Lord for this age. To follow Paul is to follow the Christ who appointed him. And to neglect Paul is not superior devotion to Jesus — it is disobedience to the risen Lord who sent your apostle to you.

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.
Greek or Gentile? Paul Uses Both Words for the Same Person

When Did Paul's Gospel Begin?
Posted by Edward Cross on June 4, 2026
Paul's gospel was a mystery kept secret since the world began, given by direct revelation of the risen Christ at Acts 9. This article shows why it could not have been preached before Paul, and why his very forgiveness as a blasphemer proves an entirely new dispensation had begun.
The New Covenant Was Not Made with Gentiles or the Body of Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on June 3, 2026
The New Covenant was made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah — stated four times in Scripture. This article shows why the Body of Christ is not under it, how its terms differ from Paul's revelation, and why the mystery program is entirely separate from any covenant.
When the Church Began — When Grace Was Given
Posted by Edward Cross on June 2, 2026
The Body of Christ did not begin at Pentecost. This article examines why Pentecost fulfilled Joel's prophecy rather than birthing the mystery, how Spirit baptism differs from the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and why the dispensation of grace began when the risen Christ appeared to Paul on the Damascus road.
