For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

—Galatians 3:27-28

The call to Jesus Christ as the only savior of mankind is universal: “…God our Saviour…will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all...” (1 Timothy 2:3-6). When the Bible uses male nouns and pronouns (e.g., “man,” “men,” “he”), the context makes it clear whether it is gender-specific: most of the time, it is not...

As we approach the year-end of 2025, we would like to thank the Lord for His blessings and for all of you who have been patient during this time of transition at The Berean Call. Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon formed TBC in 1992, and it has been nearly 40 years since Dave wrote his first newsletter in February of 1986.

Our plan is to continue ministering in the way we always have. We have a wealth of resources by Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon, which we’ll continue sending through the mail and posting for free online. So far we’ve posted more than 1,000 videos on YouTube. See www.thebereancall.org/social to find our online offerings. We appreciate your prayers as we seek to develop new material to edify believers and the church.

Even the Christmas story, sung and recited at this time of year, becomes the victim of the increasingly popular kingdom/dominion/reconstruction teachings we have discussed in recent months. Take, for example, the story of the wise men (the Bible doesn’t say there were “three”). Having seen a new star, which they understood signaled the birth of a promised king of Israel, they journeyed to Jerusalem—not because the star led them there (as Christmas songs and stories erroneously say), but because that was where they logically expected a Jewish king to be born. We don't know how they were alerted to watch for the star, but it could have been because of an oral account of Balaam’s prophecy (Numbers 24:17) handed down among Eastern magi.
