Greetings brothers, sisters, and friends. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ that you have been led to a true oasis in this dry and thirsty land where there is little water. I believe that you will find here a wealth of edifying teaching that will keep you coming back again and again. You are going to see some in-depth studies that you may have never encountered in books, churches, or elsewhere. You are not going to be given the “party line” from some run-of-the-mill commentary, denomination, or ministry. I’m not interested in how many men agree or disagree with me, or how I can please other men and tickle their ears. If I was, I wouldn’t learn very much, and neither would you. Most of what I teach here comes from just plain, hard studying of scripture, something that is given lip service a lot but rarely done these days, especially by men that claim they do.

My main priorities are fellowshipping with the Lord Jesus and my family, my wife and sons the Lord has blessed me with, and spending quality time with them and the  spiritual family of brothers and sisters in the home church that I have been fitted with by the Lord. Studying the word of God for myself and trusting the Lord to teach me is important to me. The Lord Jesus has taught me more than any man ever could, yet he is using brothers to teach me things I could never know otherwise, and I praise him for it.

I am benefitting tremendously in the home church I meet with. I submit myself to other brothers who genuinely care about and edify each other daily, not just once a week in a meeting. We share a strong belief in the home church and are not in bondage to the traditions of the false church system, and because we have broken from it, we are able to worship and grow in ways not possible in the traditional “church.” We don’t even promote the home church per se. We promote Jesus and getting to know him, really knowing him. Not just knowing about him, but knowing him by pure worship and by loving our brothers and sisters by taking a genuine interest in their lives and their walk with the Lord.  We promote spending time with each other and building each other up in the body of Christ.

I have written about 170 Bible studies on this site and have included  over 30 articles from friends and other authors as well.  I also have made around 80 ten minute videos. If you are having a hard time deciding where to start reading, let me suggest my Top Ten list http://kingjamesman.com/?p=556 that I put together that I think is a good representation of all my works. There are a few that are lengthy, though, so set aside a little time. Most of my studies and videos are very hard-hitting and plain spoken. Some of them will surprise you, even shock you, and some of them will make a few of you angry. That’s okay, though, because a man that speaks the truth many times does those things, does he not? Truth is a very divisive thing, and Jesus’ teaching of it caused division just about everywhere he went. At the end of the day, if you are willing to forsake man-made traditions no matter how much they may cost you, this site is for you. If the Lord Jesus Christ and the word of God mean more to you than your money, ministry, status, church, tradition, friends, or anything else, then welcome to the place where you will not be bombarded with or sold out to any of those things. This site is about the exaltation of the true Jesus Christ and the true word of God, and if, like the apostle John, you have to be banished to your own island of Patmos for believing these doctrines, so be it. King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes “…one man among a thousand have I found…” I hope to be one of those men for you. I don’t want your money, your name on my marketing list, or your membership in my organization (I don’t have those anyway). I just want you to learn what the Lord Jesus has shown me.

We are in the midst of a famine in this country, and it is a famine of hearing and finding the word of God: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it” (Amos 8:11-12). My name is Steve McCalip, and this site features my writings and a few from other writers that haven’t bowed their knees to Baal. My knees, so help me God, will never bow and my heart will never again give itself to any institutional “church,” denominational organization, ministry, religious superstars, or other similar idols. They won’t bow to any false bibles, false Christs, false teachers, or false brethren. One of my main purposes is to distribute freely my teachings about Jesus Christ and the word of God and to uplift the Lord Jesus Christ as “The mighty God” and “The everlasting Father” (Isaiah 9:6). My other main purpose is to exalt God’s perfect words in English, the King James Bible, as the most powerful and influential book in the history of the world. Lifting up those two things alone will do more to feed the sheep and win the lost than anything else.

I realize that many of you, especially those of you in traditional churches, will be at odds with my position on the King James Bible and my “unorthodox” beliefs regarding the identity of Jesus Christ. Nonetheless, before some of you start defending your church-creed-taught traditions and write me off based on those creeds and various commentaries, I think that you will see here some well thought out articles that could make you say, “Hmm, he just may have something here.” I’m asking you to be courageous enough to examine your faith in these areas and put them to the test through some rather intensive and in-depth scriptural arguments I present. Whether you realize it or not, the Roman Catholic church gave the Protestants its false bibles, its false conceptions of the Trinity, and its false Nicolatian system of clergy and “church.” Those facts are indisputable regardless of your beliefs. If you are fervently Trinitarian, you should at least consider the “eternal Son” fallacy I show, for if you recognize its inherent and numerous contradictions, you are forced to re-examine the legitimacy of the entire doctrine of the Babylonian/Catholic Trinity. If you learn the uniqueness of the King James and the seriousness of the corruptions of the other versions, you can at least begin to see the reasonableness and real possibility of the King James as God’s true words in English.

Those issues are just a part of this site, so I don’t want your possible bias on those to get in the way of seeing the other articles here that I believe you will truly be blessed by. Still, though, Satan knows which parts of Christianity have to be attacked with all his might and subtlety: the purity of the word of God and the identity of Jesus Christ. This author and this site will defend those two things at all costs. I have suffered the loss of many close friends and things and do count them but dung because of that defense. If you are not willing to do that very thing, you should examine yourself to see whether you are in the faith to begin with. If you are willing, it is your utmost spiritual responsibility to make sure you are defending the right Jesus and the right Bible. There are many Jesuses and many false bibles, and it is my duty and calling to help you defend the true ones, for I am “not as many, which corrupt the word of God.”

Although in the past I have been a published author, I now refuse to “sell the truth” (Proverbs 23:23) concerning the word of God because the Lord Jesus himself says, “freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8). That being the case, any reader can download as much of the material as he or she wishes, including 3 full-length books on this site. My material is copyrighted, however, and not for re-sale or profit of any kind, so if you distribute these articles, please copy the entire article with the website referenced (kingjamesman.com) that should already be on the page. You will not be solicited for money or be sold anything of any kind, and you will not be asked to donate, directly or indirectly.  The love of money will always reveal the hearts of men, and my intention is not to make money off of God’s words and my studies but give them to the world. It is my hope that you will be strongly edified by these materials and share these books, Bible studies, and articles with as many as possible, Christian and unbeliever. The best way to copy any article is to highlight what you want, right click your mouse,  click “copy,” and paste the article in Microsoft Word or another similar program (Clicking “file” and “print” will print the menus on the side, so don’t do that). To download a full length book from the book section, you need to have Adobe Reader. You can download this by clicking this link http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html and click the download button. That will allow you to view the books.

One book I have written that is available free to the reader is called God’s Catch Phrases (formerly titled Where’d That Come From? and also self-published as Just Say the Word). It is my first book, and it demonstrates the influence of the King James Bible by showing how the word of God pops up in over 400 common phrases in our everyday speech. It is a great witnessing tool. My most extensive work is The Most Controversial Book in the World: The Bible, an over 500 page book on just about every controversial issue you can think of and the Bible’s surprising stance on them. A third book in progress available here is The First Principles of the Oracles of God. It tells the importance of ideas and events in their first occurrence in Genesis and how they lay the foundation for further studying and sound doctrine.

Some of the main themes covered in this site are the true and false gospel, church traditions, home church doctrine, typologies and figures, the Trinity vs. Jesus, Calvinism’s corruption of the gospel, eternal Sonship fallacies, the influence of the King James Bible, heresies of other versions of the Bible, the old and new covenants, methods for studying the word of God, and a host of current, controversial topics. The reader should make sure and visit the Bible Reference section for many Biblical study helps. This section includes my compilation of over 1,100 names and descriptions of the Lord Jesus Christ, a wealth of revelation of the character of Jesus Christ for your prayer life and meditation. In addition, there is an exhaustive comparison of several hundred similarities of the word of God to the Lord Jesus that should greatly build your faith in the scriptures. Some of the articles on the right side of the page include Bible studies that I taught in my home and elsewhere that can be used by the reader in many ways. The Recommended Online Author’s section showcases many free, e-books I have researched that I think are pertinent to this website. Dr. Floyd Nolen Jones, my former Bible teacher in Houston, has written an e-book called Which Version is the Bible? that is an excellent study on the King James issue. Charles Shong’s book, Hold Fast the Form of Sound Words, is also rather unique and very well worth reading. Samuel Gipp’s Answer Book is especially practical for King James defense.

Also featured here is a Bible song section that contains King James Bible songs that I composed and sang myself along with some other very nice scripture songs from a classical pianist friend of mine named Donna who has allowed me to post her songs as well. No music is included, but you are free to write music for it and make it match. They originally were all set to piano and go well with that. I could include over 200 more beautiful King James songs I have collected over the years, but many are copyrighted, so I will have to check into those before I offer them here. In addition, I have put together a big collection of scripture pictures like you have probably never seen. You’ll have to see them to understand. They are something else! Lastly, I am now making videos of my teachings, and I post new video teachings on this site and my YouTube site often, so please be sure and visit those. Many of these videos have information that I don’t cover in written form. They are 10 minute presentations packed full of truth. See all my videos at: http://www.youtube.com/user/KingJamesVideoMan. If you have not joined YouTube, go to YouTube.com, and once you join (it’s easy, just a few lines to fill in), you can go to my website and subscribe to my videos by hitting the “subscribe” button. I encourage you to subscribe, for this will save you time from looking individual videos up. This method will send you every new video as soon as I make it.  Of course, you can also view all my videos on the left side of this page in the Video Teachings section. If you would like to copy any video, click the menu button on the bottom right of the video, and it will bring up the “embed” code on top. Put your cursor in that line and right click to copy that and paste it in your site or program.

I wish to acknowledge the support and unending love of my wife Lisa and our five sons for me and my work in the Lord. Without them, I would not be the man I am. Lastly, I would like to thank  two of my best friends and brothers in the Lord, Terry Stanley  of Houston, Texas, and Tom Lamb, the “Radical Pilgrim” from New Zealand for their articles on this site and for their  support. It is brothers like Terry and the fellowship with him that make what I do worth it. He has taught me some deep things of God and some simple things of God that are just as profound. His friendship is true and his love for the Lord is pure. Tom’s love for Jesus and the word of God is quite evident. His friendship and edification have greatly strengthened me.

I want this to be an interactive site between the reader and me, so please leave your comments on the guest page or in the comment box after any article, and feel free to email me anytime at stevemccalip@yahoo.com. Hopefully, your comments will help us sharpen each other. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of my eldest son Andrew for his work in establishing this site. If not for him, this site would not be a reality. Thank you, Andrew, for your many hours of hard work and for your patience with me. Your website expertise will allow me to bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ and his magnificent words, and in that, there is great reward. “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Let us exalt the Lord Jesus Christ above all. He is  “The everlasting Father,” “God with us,” “the Almighty,” “the Lord of lords,” and “the name which is above every name.” “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone, is worthy.
