Reconciling Universal Redemption with Limited Decree to Save
I had asked:How is purchasing a redemption for both believers and non-believers consistent with decreeing to save only believers? Dan (aka Godismyjudge), at Arminian Chronicles replied (link to Dan’s reply): 1) the decree to save believers should not be understood as foreknowledge of individual believers (i.e. Sue and John, but not Robbie), but rather the…

Love God – Don't Sin – and Don't Make Excuses
I read some rather feeble responses in letters to the editor at PSU today, on the topic of the Bible’s testimony against homosexuality. (link) Let me summarize the flaws in the letters. 1. Misuse of “Love one another.” Apparently the author of the first letter thinks that convicting others of sin is unloving. But Scripture…

Missing the Points – Greek Muslim Responds to Dr. White
A Greek Muslim has responded to several comments of Dr. White’s regarding Muslim apologists that butcher the Greek language in their apologetic attempts. I’m afraid this gentleman (and he certainly seems to be a calm, polite man) has missed the point. The point is not that ALL Muslims do not understand Greek. Dr. White’s points…

On Freedom In Choices – Response to "Orthodox"
I had written: The fact that men do make choices, and that some of those decisions are free, does not mean that they are free in the sense required by Arminian, Molinist, or Open Theist interpreters. “Orthodox” responded: If you admit that some decisions are free, you have a lot of work to do to…
