Why I’m not an Open Theist
Open theism usually can be divided into two. Some are open theists for philosophical reasons and others for exegetical reasons. Those are just serious proponents of the movement. Some think that using anthropomorphism is an arbitrary exegetical move and therefore … Continue reading Why I’m not an Open Theist

Braxton Hunter on Presuppositionalism and Determinism
I had an exchange with Dr. Braxton Hunter on the issues of determinism, epistemology, and presuppositionalism. Braxton Hunter: no. I’m not saying LFW is intuitive (though it is).

Eutychianism
I’m no stranger to questioning tradition and conclusions of councils. I have said that I reject Nicene Orthodoxy and related issues in the past. Recently, one of my friends has been flirting with Eutychianism. That is the idea that Christ has only one nature that possesses both human and Divine properties. I’ll comment on his usage of Dr. Paul Copan(Copan isn’t teaching Eutychianism): 1. The distinction between nature and person. A thing’s nature or essence makes it what it is; it wouldn’t exist if it lacked these features. We all have human-making features—the capacity to choose or act, to be … Continue reading Eutychianism
Pelagius meets Marcion
I watched for some awful reason the Soteriology101 podcast and figure I could add a few words. I’m not going to comment on what has already been addressed but to certain comments that weren’t addressed. Flowers starts the podcast by doing damage control to explain why he is talking to Andy Stanley. Of course, he has to mention the fact that Andy Stanley is stuffing cash into his pockets. Leighton goes on to call the opponents of Andy Stanley the “theology police” and by implication states that those that are critical of Andy are not practicing the principle of charity. … Continue reading Pelagius meets Marcion

Bishop Barron’s Pelagianism
John Bugay is a Christian apologist that specializes in areas dealing with Roman Catholicism. He watched the discussion between Ben Shapiro and Bishop Robert Barron and said this: And I think this is what is meant by saying that Vatican II invited in Pelagianism. I think that a pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic would have real trouble understanding what Barron is saying, precisely because Rome worked hard (up to that point, I would say) to say that even the “congruent merit” that we gain from our own good works is merely “congruent” — they would be say it is “grace filled, … Continue reading Bishop Barron’s Pelagianism
