Welcome
I'm Brian Neill, and I want to say that plainly up front: I'm not an orthodox teacher. What you'll find on this site is years of my own time in Scripture — studied verse by verse, book by book, evening by evening — written down in the hope that it's useful to you the way I've wanted it to be useful to me.
My position on orthodoxy
I don't hold to any one named theology — Reformed, Dispensational, Covenant, or otherwise. That's not indecision; it's deliberate. Isaiah describes how the word comes to us — precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little (Isaiah 28:13) — a picture of growth across centuries, not a system you arrive at and close. Naming myself after a label would mean tying that growth off before it's finished, and I don't think the wise virgins of Matthew 25 get to do that — they stayed ready with oil of their own, not resting on arguments someone else already settled.
As I read it, the only writing that can properly be called orthodox is "their word" — the apostles, the ones Yahshua Himself named in His prayer as the means by which others would come to believe (John 17:20). Everything built on top of that — every confession, every system, every name tag, including this one — is an argument of interpretation. And Scripture says of itself, in the Gospels and in Paul's own description of his writing, that it was given in parable and in mystery. I don't see why that would stop being true of the word that carries His authority. So I hold what I've written here openly, and I'd rather you test it against the text than take my word for it.
Everything here is free to read and free to download. I'd rather you test everything against Scripture itself than take my word for any of it.
Additional Information concerning Bible studies on this site:
Not everything linked from this site agrees with everything else on it. Iron sharpens iron because it meets real difference (Proverbs 27:17) — and the unity of the Spirit was never the same thing as agreeing on every point; it's what holds us together as we're built up, woven together, into the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:3, 16).
The clearest example of that on this site is Phil's Ezekiel commentary: he writes from an amillennial position, under a 1689 Federalist reading, and I don't hold either view. I say that plainly here, not just on his own page, because I'd rather you know it going in than find it out halfway through his six volumes.
Everything here is free to read and free to download. I'd rather you test everything against Scripture itself than take my word for any of it. Yet at the end, there is one truth and one baptism
