Dear Micah, It seems we may be talking past each other. Let’s see if we can agree (or not) on a few basic things. 1. It seems you try to distinguish between the Old and New Covenants on the basis that everyone in the New Covenant is saved. Is that a fair statement or not?…

I had the pleasure of listening to most of Yesterday’s Baptism between Dr. White and Mr. Strawbridge. Some thoughts: 1) I don’t think that Dr. White was consistent in his exegetical method. Dr. White (it seemed to me) insisted that we have to read the New Testament first, and then go back and read the…

Interestingly, a few (apparently three) or so folks have agreed to discuss the doctrine of what is sometimes referred to as “Limited Atonement” with me. One would like to see my strongest argument first, one would like to see my strongest proof text first, and one would like me to show the doctrine clearly from…

Suppose I can show you that Scripture teaches some particular doctrine (for example, that Jesus died only for the elect, that it is wrong to make images of God, or that we should not try to communicate with the dead). Would it make a difference? Would you be willing to submit to God’s word on…

I was rather disappointed by this parody (link). The issue of whether Wilkins has erred on the issue of election and whether his local presbytery has not properly applied church discipline on the issue, are both serious issues.While making Monty Python jokes may be all in good fun, the topic is a serious one, and…

The motivation behind this investigation (link) is unclear. I’d like to think that it is a proper recognition that those under investigation are not true ministers of the gospel, but I’m concerned that it may be an attempt to go after what is perceived to be Christianity. What think ye? -Turretinfan To God be the…

1. The Christ (for there is only one for the whole world) was justified in God’s sight by works, because He perfectly obeyed the law. It seems odd that Jonathan Prejean would think otherwise. See this post (link) and the comments following including those from “Crimson Catholic” (i.e. Mr. Prejean). 2. No one else can…
