  • 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…

  • 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…

  • As Wise as Sheep

    Sheep are not wise. It is no great compliment to be called a sheep. Nevertheless, in Chapter 10 of John’s Gospel, Christ proclaimed the parable of the Shepherd and the sheepfold, in which he compared us to sheep, and Himself to the Shepherd. John 9:35-10:29 35Jesus heard that they had cast him [the man who…

  • What Zanchius and I believe about the Atonement

    In Confession of the Christian Religion, Chapter XI, Zanchius writes: For we acknowledge one only Redeemer, Jesus Christ, without whom, as there is no true God, so no true salvation. And one only sacrifice, the oblation or offering whereof being once made, not only all the sins of the elect were once washed away in…

  • Dining at Dover

    Years ago, before the Chunnel, Dover England was known for its white, chalk cliffs. These rocks are very in calcium: in fact they are mostly calcium carbonate. Calcium is an important mineral for human life. Bones have a large calcium composition, and most doctors these days recommend calcium supplements to women, especially as the approach…

  • What Dabney and I Believe about the Atonement

    R. L. Dabney writes: If you were a soldier and had not deserted the colors of your country, an accepted substitute would free you from all service and punishment. You are guilty of desertion toward God, and are also bound to pay a service to which sin utterly disables you through your own folly and…

  • Response to McBee on John 3:16

    Introduction With respect, I think that Mr. McBee (aka “SDM”) seems to have misidentified the point I was trying to make. Perhaps this is because I was too brief. I certainly do not believe, and do not wish to suggest, that Mr. McBee intentionally misrepresented me. On the other hand, each time Mr. McBee wrote…
