Comparative Views on the Atonement
Someone else wrote (but I generally agree): 1. All that we have hitherto said of Christ leads to this one result, that condemned, dead, and lost in ourselves, we must in him seek righteousness, deliverance, life and salvation, as we are taught by the celebrated words of Peter, “Neither is there salvation in any other:…

McMahon on John 3:16
Pastor McMahon’s article (here) provides a great starting place for understanding some of the key Reformed discussions on John 3:16. Of particular interest to some of my readers I excerpt this paragraph from the linked article: The Westminster Assembly also has some contentions concerning the idea of the word “world” due to the theological positions…
