The real Turretin on: the Atonement
In a post that, like the last one I just linked to, I cannot fully endorse, Dr. James Galyon provides an interesting discussion of (and commentary on) the historic Reformed position of the atonement in contrast to the multi-intention view (source). -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

Want More on the Atonement?
The εξο της παρεμβολης blog has provided a somewhat lengthy excerpt from Robert Raymond’s New Systematic Theology (link). He makes many good arguments, and frankly many that do not seem to have any answer in the Universal Atonement world. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

What John Murray and I believe About the Atonement
Since a few folks have apparently been trying to present John Murray as though he were not a consistent, five-point Calvinist, I thought it would be valuable to provide a quotation from Prof. Murray, on the subject: The criticism that the doctrine of limited atonement prevents the free offer of the gospel rests upon a…

Clarifying Atonement Analogy
I had written: To go back to the ransom analogy, if the cost to ransom any and all captives is $1 Million, then a payment of $1 Million is sufficient for all, even if it is not intended or used to free all the captives. As I feared, this appears to have led to some…

The Indispensible Nature of the Justice of God
“This avenging justice belongs to God as a judge, and he can no more dispense with it than he can cease to be a judge, or deny himself; though at the same time he exercises it freely. It does not consist in the exercise of a gratuitous power, like mercy, by which (whether it be…

Further Response regarding the Sufficiency of Christ’s Death
GodIsMyJudge (Dan) has provided a further response (link) to my previous two posts (first) (second). Dan believes I have been inconsistent. Dan insists that if a reprobate person turned from their sins and repented, Christ’s blood would not save them under a consistent Calvinist model. Dan’s reason for this is that Christ did not offer…

Response to Counter-Analogies on the Atonement
In response to my earlier post regarding One of my Theological Opponents on the Atonement, Dan (GodIsMyJudge) has provided some objections: Dan wrote: “I found your analgesic tablet example inapplicable to Arminius’ point. Your using the tablet comes after someone having provided the tablet by putting it on your shelf. But in your view, 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…

Misleading Information from "Calvin and Calvinism"
I was disappointed to see more misleading information appear over at “Calvin and Calvinism,” this time on Hodge. Hodge was a firm believer in 5 point Calvinism. This web page (link – not recommended in any way, shape, or form) tries to present a slightly different view. The problem seems to be that the person…

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!
