The Monty Collier Report: Brandan Kraft's Heresy

"We think the book of James is trash...I personally cannot find anything of redeeming value from the book of James"
--Brandan Kraft-- July 19th, 2007 (from a remark Kraft posted on the forum of 5-Solas.org in a thread titled, "James Exposed." The remark was made in Brandan Kraft's first post on the very first page of the thread).

The Bible speaks of such men when it states, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:14).

Brandan Kraft is a hyper-dispensationalist. He rejects the 66 Books of the Protestant Bible. Instead of Sola Scriptura, Kraft teaches that only the Epistles of Paul are authoritative for believers today. Kraft even thinks that Jesus taught Justification By Faith And Works. Kraft claims that the Roman Catholic Church correctly interprets the Book of James, while Calvinists misrepresent the Epistle of James. Kraft then rips James out of the Bible calling it trash.

Contrary to Brandan Kraft, the Calvinist position of Sola Scriptura is best represented by the Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter One.

After listing all 66 Books of the Protestant Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, the Westminister Confession of Faith correctly states:

"We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture; and the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all parts, the scope of the whole (which is to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it doth abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God; yet, notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit, bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts"
(The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 1, Article 5).
