John Halton, over at BHT, has quoted a comment of mine without providing attribution (here). So does Michael Spencer as well (here). Comments on the posts are closed, but I hope this post will spark Halton and Spencer to at least identify the person they quote. -Turretinfan To God be the Glory!

I found this short note by David Field on the validity of Roman Catholic baptism interesting (link). I suspect that he is omitting from the Reformed camp the “Reformed Baptists” who would presumably have rejected most RCC baptisms as invalid. If I’m wrong about that, I’d be delighted to see the evidence of an early…

1. Joel Osteen endorses Mormonism as Christianity, thereby demonstrating that he is at best unfamiliar with Mormonism (link). I suspect the problem is a bit deeper, given his rationale for accepting Mormonism as Christian. UPDATE: Jame White has more in-depth response here (link).2. Doug Pagitt says that the way that God is going to interact…

The Virginia Hugenot alerted me to this article, originally published 107 years ago, explaining why the ARP at that time only sang Psalms. Much of what was written then would still apply today. I’d encourage folks to consider whether it might make sense to adopt the reasoning set forth in the article. Yes, you’d have…

A few folks objected to my argument from Hebrews 10 (in the Atonement debate over at Contend Earnestly), on the basis that “them that are sanctified” in Hebrews 10:14, “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified,” might (according to the objectors) refer to something less than the entire intended…

Here are comments from the real Turretin on the Will of God in Salvation, graciously provided by Ismael Hilerio (link to first syndication) (link to second syndication). Comments such as those provided on Mr. Hilerio’s blog demonstrate that, of course, the real Turretin and I agree on the atonement. -Turretinfan To God be the Glory!

I have enjoyed reading the past series of articles from Qayaq Traveler, most of which have had something to do with the real Francis Turretin. (link) I think he’s probably actually posted more about Turretin than I have! He also seems to have an interest in Clark. I’ll have to remind myself that this isn’t…

Dr. Roger Nicole (link to theopedia entry) explains that Calvin did in this interesting article (link). He’s a visiting professor Reformed Theological Seminary. He’s identified as an expert (and his work recommend) on Amyraut by Prof. John Frame (link). -Turretinfan To God be the Glory!

Here’s an amazing video of a man who has trained a turtle to obey his commands. The tricks would not be amazing if we were dealing with a dog, but they are rather impressive for a turtle. I’m not sure that too many of my readers have ever tried obtaining turtilian(FN1) compliance with commands, but…
