Clarification on the Tri-Partite Division of the Law
I have received a few comments from readers on my previous post on the three-fold division of the law given by Moses (link). A first comment comes from Stephen Garrett, who asked: Where is your scriptural support for dividing the law into those three categories of moral, ceremonial, and civil?Are we under the lawgiver Moses…

Cur Deus Homo? Further Response to Horne
Gene Bridges provided the following comments (link) which I have reproduced in part below: As you noted, stating that the Covenant of Grace is in some way “conditional” or “conditioned” on faith does not lead to it being (a) meritorious or (b) pactum merit. Indeed that’s a non sequitur. Turretin (the real one) went over…

Gene’s Comment on the Holy Water Debate
Brother Gene Bridges has commented on the Holy Water Debate over at Triablogue. (link) I’d love to comment on his comments, but I’m reserving my own off-debate-blog remarks about the debate until the audience question phase is complete. Still waiting, by the way, for the Pro-Holy-Water questions from PhatCatholic’s side … -Turretinfan To God be…

Gene Stirs the Pot
Gene, over at Triablogue, has stirred the Holy Water pot with a recent post (link) that addresses some of the issues he sees with the post presented by Dave Armstrong (link provided via this earlier post), generally approving (and minorly editing) PhatCatholic’s opening argument in the Holy Water Debate. Carrie adds (at least) a few…
