Owen on Arminianism
Some of Owen’s comments are out-dated, because “Arminianism” to a degree has become a moving target with various justifications. Still Owen’s piece is still a good read, and much shorter than his “Death of Death and Death of Christ.” It is a book, not just an article, and it has something like 14 chapters. Here’s…

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…

An Excellent, Substantial yet Interesting Apologetic
Obviously, the writer of this post (link) is much more interesting to read than I am, and he still puts on an excellent Apologetic performance. Good reading, good theology, and good riddance to the fallacies disposed of in the post. -Turretinfan P.S. I’d particularly recommend this for anyone who just suffered through reading Hoffer’s style-focused…

Dear T.J. Pennock, I had the pleasure of reading through many, though I confess not all, of the posts on your blog (Liver and Onions) – an enormous percentage of which relate to Calvinism, apparently from a less-than-favorable George Bryson-esque perspective. I notice that in your most recent post you go after Calvinist apologists. As…

A Very Odd Rebuttal
According to the Reformed Covenanter, E. Calvin Beisner wrote: Original Arminianism affirmed that Christ died as a substitute to pay for the sins of all people. The Federal Visionists will affirm that Christ died to pay the penalty for the sins of all in “the covenant”, including some who will end up in hell. One’s…

Bad News (if true) for Some Arminians
A few Arminians have staked their view of “free will” on the idea that what separates us from the animals is our ability to make rational choices: to wit that this is the “image of God” referred to in Scripture. Now, with the enormous caveat that the entire study may be rigged, I present the…

Psalm 105 – He Did What?
Some folks who read through the account in Psalm 105 may surprised – especially when they get down to verse 25. The Psalm starts off with a call to thankfulness and worship, on account of the deeds that God has done, calling them “wondrous works” and “marvelous works.” The first item to be selected is…

Response to Pat Condell – With Asides
Pat Condell is an atheist who more or less openly mocks Christianity. Here’s an example (link) NOTE BEFORE CLICKING: Blasphemy is used in the video, so don’t click if that will cause you to stumble. Part of the problem, however, is that Pat Condell, as an atheist is unable to distinguish between Christianity and its…
