The Depravity of Man

TheSire

If I was ever asked about evidence for the truth of Christianity, then I just point to the variety of the lines of evidence for it. I can always look at the truth of the testimony God provided us about Human nature. That man isn’t essentially good, but since the fall man has been totally depraved. So, no better worldview has explained the nature of man and evil so well. I don’t subscribe to the answer he gives to the problem of evil but he gives great statements of evil than answer about it. I’ll provide to resources I use … Continue reading The Depravity of Man

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

TheSire

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
