David Bercot.
This CD is NOT a criticism of the KJV. For the first 150 years after the KJV was published in 1611, it was periodically updated to fit changes in the English language and to occasionally amend the text itself. The last update was made in 1769 under the authority of Oxford University. But then something odd happened. ...

Download: Were the Apostles Failures?
$3.95
David Bercot.
Many Christians today claim that the church founded by the apostles lost most of the apostles’ doctrine within a generation. In fact, people say that the first century church was already losing the apostolic faith while the apostles were still living. In other words, the apostles were failures! They couldn’t accomplish...

Download: A Positive Answer to a Negative Theology
$3.95
John D. Martin.
At the time of the Reformation, there was a clear line of demarcation between the Anabaptists and the mainline Reformers such as Luther and Calvin. Not only did their lifestyles differ, but so did their views of salvation, God, and the world. However, many Mennonites and Amish today have thrown out the teachings of their forefathers and have adopted Calvinistic views on salvation and other issues. In this message, John D. Martin ...

Download: How to Be a Thinking Christian
$3.95
D. Bercot.
The greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” (Matt. 22:37). Many Bible-believing Christians love God with all their hearts, but not with all their minds. In fact, they don’t even know what critical thinking is. As a result of their shallow thinking, they wrongfully condemn other Christians, and they often bring reproach on the name of Christ because of their wrong predictions and foolish statements. In this CD, Bercot focuses on three areas:
1. Developing critical thinking skills 2. Learning how to read a document—particularly the Bible 3. How to properly do research on biblical and spiritual topics

Download: The Early Christian Writings and the Textus Receptus
$3.95
Many Christians today believe the Critical Text is the most accurate New Testament text. Others say that the Textus Receptus (the text used for the King James Version) is the providentially preserved pure Word of God. What light do the early Christian writings shed on these issues? Plenty!

Download: Why Don't We Use the Same Bible as the Apostles? Disc 1
$3.95
When you look up Old Testament verses quoted by New Testament writers, you have probably noticed that they don't read the same in your Old Testament as they do in your New Testament. Have you ever wondered why? The reason is that, most of the time, Jesus and His apostles quoted from the Septuagint not from the Masoretic Text. Yet, today, almost all English Bibles use the Masoretic text for the Old Testament, not the Septuagint.
So, in this series of messages, Bercot asks the logical question: Why don't we use the same Bible as Jesus and the apostles? In the course of this message, you will learn about:
The numerous New Testament passages that match the Septuagint, but not the Masoretic Text.
The many Old Testament passages that are contradictory in the Masoretic Text but not in the Septuagint
How the New Testament writers used the vocabulary and spiritual concepts of the Septuagint
Why the early church insisted on using the Septuagint as their Old Testament
When and how the Roman Catholic Church dropped the Septuagint and adopted the Masoretic Text in its place¡ªa tradition later followed by the Reformers

Download: How to Harmonize Paul and James Disc 1
$3.95
David Bercot.
James wrote, ““Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? ...You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone.” But Paul said, “If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. ...But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.”
Harmonizing these seemingly contradictory passages is no mere theological exercise. No, the answer to this apparent contradiction lies at the very heart of Christianity.
This 3-CD set consists of two audio CDs and one text CD-ROM which can be read on any computer.

Download: Does God View Our Righteousness as Filthy Rags? Disc 1
$3.95
Practically all Christians who have had any contact with Evangelical Protestantism know by memory Isa. 64:6: “We are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.” But is this really how God views the righteous acts of His people, or of mankind in general? Or, is this simply another case of a theologian (Martin Luther) taking a verse out of context?
After all, neither Jesus nor any of the New Testament writers ever quoted Isa. 64:6. Bercot presents a Scriptural and historical analysis of this passage that will undoubtedly give you a fuller understanding of this verse.
The second CD in this set is a computer disc (CD-ROM), playable in any Windows computer, that sets forth the extensive list of Scripture texts that shed light on this whole issue.

Download: The Spirit of Early Christianity
$3.95
D. Bercot.
In the 1990’s, David Bercot used to travel and lecture on the topic of “The Spirit of Early Christianity.” Now Bercot has revisited that subject and prepared a new message on that same topic—incorporating much of his original material, supplemented by what he has learned over the past eighteen years.
There were distinguishing characteristics of Christianity when it was still young. However, many of those earmarks have been lost over the centuries. But it is not too late to recover them!

Download: The Faith Once For All Delivered
$3.95
D. Bercot.
The Scriptures speak of the “faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Yet, some Christians claim that the Church has the authority to further develop the faith. Did the original faith lack something? In this message, Bercot explains what the earliest Christians believed—those who had received the faith firsthand from the apostles.
