A Ton of Important Stuff But Too Long for a Title!
Started off noting that the entire social justice issue has been declared to be a non-issue today—so thankful we will never have to talk about it again! Then we looked at a little Kyle James Howard (that always gets you smiling), and then moved on to more important things. Responded to Bassam Zawadi on a post he wrote about Christian
William Lane Craig and the Basis of Faith, Douglas Beaumont’s Failed Attempt at Redefining John 6:44
Started off responding to this article by William Lane Craig, once again dealing with the relationship between God’s revelation in Scripture and our knowledge, including our knowledge of who Christ was (and is). Craig is the primary source for Andy Stanley’s position, by the way, as you will see. Then we transitioned into a full-on refutation of this article by
Limited Atonement with David Allen, Ecclesiastical Textism with Robert Truelove
First Dividing Line back from a fierce ten day battle with the flu, so we went mega-length, two full hours. First 75 minutes we discussed the atonement and theology in general, starting to listen to comments made by Dr. David Allen of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary wherein he described limited atonement as a “doctrine looking for a text.” It was
The Danger of “Gay Christianity,” Islamicize Me Redux, a Bit More on the SBC
Well, surprise surprise, quite the amount of response to yesterday’s program, so we covered two topics we touched on yesterday, including further commentary on the Islamicize Me video series and on the Paige Patterson situation in the Southern Baptist Convention. But first, we looked at the issues raised by the Revoice Conference and the idea of “gay Christianity,” and considered
Galatians 5 and Justification, Part 2
In the midst of the battle the text of Scripture suffers at the hands of those who seek to mold it to their theology. Recently Paul’s words in Galatians 5 have suffered egregiously. Let’s remind ourselves of what Paul actually said: Galatians 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be
Youth Targeted Calvinism / Book of Romans Torn to Pieces in Service of “Gay Christianity”
Two main topics on the program today. First I mentioned fairly briefly this wild-eyed article from SBC Today as another example of Anti-Calvinist Derangement Syndrome. Had to chuckle at its ridiculous comments on Edwards, though I know it is serious—and sad. But sometimes, you just have to laugh. Then I moved on to discuss Graeme Codrington’s amazing way of removing
Christ’s Atoning Work: Intent, Extent, Union, Substitution, Ordo Salutis (Part I)
Both Eric Svendsen and I are very busy these days, and as I’m sure he will affirm, most of that busy-ness has nothing to do with Dave Armstrong. I have so many articles to write I can barely keep track of them all (in fact, I have this horrible feeling I’ve forgotten one), and an exciting book project to work
What You NEED to Know about the Calvinism and Arminianism Debate
The Calvinism-Arminianism debate is substantially a debate between what is called “synergism” and “monergism.” For those who are new to this debate, the following is a primer on the two perennial branches of theological systems within Christianity. Or to put it another way, there are two very different ways for believers to understand their salvation. The first type is the
