There has been a discussion for how Reformed Christians should understand the usefulness and the errors in the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. I think like every thinker that he is a mixed bag and you will have to weight aspects … Continue reading A Reformed Look at Aquinas
[responsivevoice_button] I was looking at Bosserman for a little while and saw that he makes some of the same observations about Eternal Generation(in it’s historical and traditional sense) that I have tried to get across to people. Here are a … Continue reading Bosserman on Eternal Generation
[responsivevoice_button] I have an interest in issues around the doctrine of God and for sake of keeping stuff I read orderly I put it here. Here is something Dr. Bolt directed me to and I wish to share it for you people as well: As I understand Oliphint, having read and listened to most of his other works, God possesses contingent/covenantal/”God with us” properties due to his having condescended through the act of creation. As he explains especially in the fourth chapter of God With Us, these contingent properties do not constitute a nature, but in Oliphint’s scheme they function analogously to the human nature in … Continue reading Covenantal Properties

The man that shall not be named wrote a little response to me. I found the time and the will to torture myself through another one of his bitter sad attempts to undermine what I’ve said. Not much left from our dearest objector. All he’s got now is a parting shot on how the Arminian view of free will is kind of like Open Theism (gasp!) -as long as you discount the central difference of whether God can know our choices beforehand. Well, that’s because they both are indeterminist. There is no significant difference between them regarding the issue of … Continue reading Left Twix and Right Twix
