  • Not the Reformed View?

    In a recent quarrelsome and ad hominem post, Rev. “Trey” Austin, III has the gumption to suggest (with the title of the post) that Dr. White’s view in a recent radio debate with Steve Gregg is “not the Reformed view.” Nothing could be further from the truth. After receiving well-deserved chiding from Dr. White in…

  • Reconciling Universal Redemption with Limited Decree to Save

    I had asked:How is purchasing a redemption for both believers and non-believers consistent with decreeing to save only believers? Dan (aka Godismyjudge), at Arminian Chronicles replied (link to Dan’s reply): 1) the decree to save believers should not be understood as foreknowledge of individual believers (i.e. Sue and John, but not Robbie), but rather the…

  • Who is that on the Atonement? With Some Answers to Universalist Objections

    (Note the term “Universalist” in the title is being used to refer to those who think died for all men universally, [like the way that B.B. Warfield uses the term] not those who believe that all men will be saved.) Today, in fact only a few minutes ago, I found this interesting discussion, from which…

  • The Real Turretin on: The Atonement

    Daniel’s Place provides a few quotations from the real Turretin on the Atonement (link), as well as some good cautionary comments to modern neo-Amyraldians, quasi-Amyraldians, and those toying with Amyraldianism. Turretin’s work on the atonement can be found in volume 4 of his works. To God be the Glory!

  • The Deleterious Effect of Particularist/Universalist Propoganda

    I stumbled across this shocking quotation: “Amazingly, Dabney, Charles Hodge, and William Shedd all distance themselves from theologians like Francis Turretin on the relationship between the decree of God and the cross of Christ, and even go so far as to explicitly reject key exegesis that underlies the “limited atonement” argument found in John Owen’s…

  • Universal Atonement – Distinguished

    There is a sense in which the benefits of Christ’s death spill over to the reprobate. We refer to these benefits as the incidental benefits of Christ’s death. One such benefit is the stay of punishment against the wicked, which the wicked use to their own condemnation to pile up more guilt. Nevertheless, it is…

  • Truth in Labeling: Aminianism, Amyraldianism, and Hyper-Calvinism

    It’s no secret that the present generation of young Christians in America have an increased interest in the doctrines of grace, commonly referred to as Calvinism. These doctrines generally teach the absolute sovereignty of God. They reject man’s absolute autonomy, in favor of an autonomy that is compatibly with absolute sovereignty. They declare monergism: the…
