Trinity vs. Oneness Debate (1999) White vs. Sabin – Part 1
The following video is part of a Trinity vs. Oneness Debate held in 1999, between James White (Trinitarian) vs. Robert Sabin (Oneness). This is the first part of the debate, including the introduction and Dr. White’s opening presentation. Even though it is only the first part, it is about 51 minutes long. One particularly nice…

Turretin Defended Against the Federal Visionists
I recently located Dr. Matthew McMahon’s article entitled, Evangelical Postmodern Diversification, in which he defends against the Federal Visionists’ historical revision. I particularly appreciated his defense of my favorite theologian, Francis Turretin, against the ludicrous charge of Pelagianism. (link) To God be the Glory!

Relic Worship in Old Testament?
I recently came across a comment by a person named Teresita who stated that she was “raised Catholic” and who seems to think that “veneration of some people’s bones has a biblical basis, so the Catholic practice can’t truly be called idolatry.” (source) Teresita went on to quote Exodus 13:18-19, which I’ll reproduce below: Exodus…

Real Goodwin Compared to Real Turretin
Over at a Thomas Goodwin blog (hosted by someone who enjoys the writings of the historical Thomas Goodwin – and a blog that I enjoy reading and could generally recommend) there is a new post that compares Goodwin and Turretin on the issue of what would have happened to Adam had he continued in righteousness.…

New Age Heresies
These days, from what I can see, the “New Age Movement” is no longer quite as hip as it was (under that name, at any rate) a decade or two ago. It has since branched out in various regards, and I would be unsurprised if crystal sales have either tailed off, or at least stopped…

On Vocations
Now if thou compare deed to deed, there is difference betwixt washing of dishes, and preaching of the word of God; but as touching to please God none at all: for neither that nor this pleaseth, but as far forth as God hath chosen a man, hath put his Spirit in him, and purified his…
