Response to Comments/ Objections – Children Punished for Parents' Sins
I have received a few comments regarding yesterday’s post on Original Sin (link). In some cases, I’m not sure whether they are intended simply as comments or as objections. Nevertheless, I’ve tried to address each, below. Anonymous states:You never dealt with a very important passage, Ezek. 18. I dealt with that passage at some significant…

I recently came across a blog for the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico (link). My Spanish is not excellent, but it appears that this blog could become an excellent resource for those who are interested in Reformed theology, and who speak Spanish (particularly if they speak Spanish better than English).

Covenantal Divide Between Presbyterians and non-Dispensational Reformed Baptist
I enjoyed reading a recent post at the Thomas Goodwin blog, where the pseudonymous (like the present author) author provided some interesting commentary on the minority position held by Owen in contrast to that of the other major Reformed writers (Witsius, van Mastricht, and Turretin). (link) I would tend to see Owen’s view as being…

Dabney on J.A. Alexander
Joshua Lim at Reformed Blogging has provided an interesting quotation from Dabney about Hodge (link).
