Started off with a fun story about being Official Theologian for Skillet, then we had to get serious. Looked at John 14:28 for a few minutes, and then had to start responding to the Credo article featuring Dr. VanDrunen. Paused that to work through Aquinas’ commentary on Romans 4:6-8 as an illustration. More to come!
I had written: And I cannot help but contrast such a statement with Jesus’ own words, which again so strongly illustrate the contrast between the anthropocentric mind-set of Roman Catholicism (God wants to save, tries to save, but fails to save so often because He is dependent upon the cooperation of man’s will–and yes, I know, that’s Arminianism as well)
