Ordo Absurdum: 1 John 5:1

TheSire

  I would like to begin by stating that the Holy Scriptures teach that regeneration precedes (and necessarily results in) saving faith.

As a matter of fact, there has been much confusion concerning why the reformed community points to this … Continue reading Ordo Absurdum: 1 John 5:1

Dr. Flowers responded to my article because Dr. James White tweeted it out. Leighton Flowers continued his rant on twitter and even brought me up on his podcast. He brought me up at 2:29 and 14:36.

Cahill’s review

TheSire

I asked a Pelagian friend to give his thoughts on my article about original sin. This is my review of his review. http://shawncahill.blogspot.com/2017/04/original-sin-review.html?m=1 “I wish to look at OT evidence for the concept of Original Sin. Some say that God only punishes us for our own sins that are done in our own lives.” The author then goes on to list many verses showing people who faced a temporal judgment for the actions of their ancestors, which I do not deny. The point is he may believe that we are only punished for our own sin. This disproves the contrary … Continue reading Cahill’s review

How to flunk Soteriology101?

TheSire

I will criticize Dr. Leighton Flowers based on bad argumentation and faulty reasoning. I have talked to him and he seems like a nice guy. He just has the strangest way of being obsessed with Calvinism. This will hopefully be … Continue reading How to flunk Soteriology101?
