Before we proceed, it is important to address a recent development. Since the initial publication of this series, Jon Moffitt has announced his departure from the “Reformed Fringe” podcast, citing the time commitment required by the project. While we are encouraged by this step, as it appears to be the fruit of heeding wise counsel… Continue reading Monotheism Misunderstood

In the preceding articles, we have established a clear pattern of error in the theology of the “Reformed Fringe” podcast. We began by identifying their foundational semantic error in redefining the name Elohim. We then demonstrated how this error stems from a flawed, anti-confessional hermeneutic, which we saw applied with destructive effect in their interpretation of… Continue reading A Departure from Reformed Orthodoxy

It is with a heavy heart, but a necessary resolve, that we arrive at the inevitable and catastrophic destination of the “Reformed Fringe” theological system: a direct assault on the person of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the preceding articles, we have traced the destructive trajectory of this theology, from its foundational semantic… Continue reading A Christological Chimera

Their episode “Genesis 3: A Dragon in the Trees” serves as a perfect case study, revealing how their flawed hermeneutic inevitably leads to a… Continue reading Borrowed Serpents: Plagiarism and Malpractice in Genesis 3

Theological error does not arise from a vacuum. It is nearly always the product of a faulty hermeneutic, a flawed method of approaching and interpreting the sacred text. Before we can properly dissect the specific doctrinal errors of the “Reformed Fringe” podcast regarding the nature of God and Christ, we must first address the methodological poison… Continue reading The Pattern of Sound Words

It is the solemn duty of every Christian to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3). This duty becomes particularly urgent when theological error, cloaked in familiar language, is presented to the church from platforms that carry an air of credibility. It is with this sense… Continue reading The Semantic Trojan Horse
