  • Response to "Christmas Wars"

    Steve Hays has a post called “Christmas Wars,” about objections to Christmas (link to post). As a non-celebrant of the day, I thought it would be interesting to review his identified objections and his responses to the objections. 1. Constitutional Objection As far as I know, Steve’s right about this. 2. Genetic Objection Steve has…

  • The Third of a Thousand Responses to Steve Hay's Rebuttal

    My good friend Steve continued: This is confused on several grounds: i) To begin with, TFan has offered what appear to be contradictory statements on 1 Cor 7:15. In an earlier response to me, he said: Where does the Bible ever speak of a woman divorcing her husband? In 1 Corinthians 7 Paul addresses the issue…

  • Part One of Thousands in Response to Steve's Rebuttal Post

    Ok, I don’t really intend to address all of the myriad points in my friend Steve’s latest divorce-related post (link to his post).  Nor do I intend to address only one here.  I’ll start at the beginning and get as far as I can in a reasonable amount of time.  Steve is a resourceful and…

  • Video Game Theodicy

    In a recent post, the inimitable Steve Hays provides an interesting critique of a video game theodicy (link). My own video game theodicy is not subject to the same criticisms, I trust. Imagine that a video game designer makes a video game like Pac-Man. Can anyone seriously imagine one of the little ghosts complaining that…

  • Answering Skeptics' Questions

    Steve Hays provided concise and useful responses to 22 (he didn’t select the number, I’m not sure the significance of that number to the questioner) questions from skeptics.  They are posted courtesy of Monergism.com. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • Steve Hays on Liberty's Schedule of Discipline

    He’s joking, of course, but I think his points will strike a chord with lots of people who are bewildered by the mildness of Liberty’s decision regarding Ergun Caner (link to Hays’ post). To God be the Glory!

  • Steve Hays on "Pelagian Calvinism"

    Steve Hays has provided an in-depth response to Perry Robinson’s mischaracterization of Calvinism as “Pelagian.” (link) -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • Pharisees and Jesus – A Study in "Arminian" Logic

    First Caveat: I’m using “Arminian” here to refer to a broad range of non-Calvinists – and specifically to refer to those representative of the population of non-Calvinists that regularly criticize Calvinism. I realize that there are Arminians out there who take a very different approach. This is not directed to them. Spurred on by Triablogue’s…

  • Jeeves' Job

    Steve Hays at Triablogue has a provocative post that lures in his readers (while ruffling their feathers) with this opening line: “Watching Catholic laymen defend Catholicism is like watching a dutiful butler put his drunken master to bed.” (link) Since some of my most thoughtful readers (whose comments I much appreciate, even when I do…
