In the Beginning …
God created the heavens and the earth. It’s the first doctrine of Scripture. It’s one of the first doctrines of the so-called Apostles’ Creed. God’s title of “Creator” is found in both Old and New Testaments. Adam is in Christ’s line and Adam’s very real sin is central to the need for Christ’s incarnation. That…

Resources: "This Week in Calvinism"
Lee Shelton IV posts (generally weekly) an item he calls “This Week in Calvinism” (link to the series). It covers interesting posts on Calvinism, including criticisms of Calvinism.

Resources: Monergism.com
Probably most of my readers are already familiar with this site. For those that are not, Monergism.com provides a wealth of theological resources, many hosted and many more linked. It not only has links to countless articles but also to mp3s, if you prefer audio. If you prefer to have theology in print, there is…

Roman Catholic Spin Machine
Here’s the latest attempt to try to spin the clerical celibacy/sexal abuse scandal issue: (link). One of the particularly odd attempts at spin was this: The Times continues to editorialize about the “pedophilia crisis,” when all along it’s been a homosexual crisis. Eighty percent of the victims of priestly sexual abuse are male and most…

Dr. James Galyon Against Hyper-Calvinism
Dr. James Galyon has an interesting post on the topic of Hyper-Calvinism. He provides a long list of items that he views as Hyper-Calvinism, many of which I would agree with. I may not agree with him in every last detail in his definition. For example, he includes as one form of hyper-Calvinism: “Scripture is…
