Of Light and Salvation: A Leighton Flowers Mini Critique part 1

TheSire

Leighton Flowers refers to Luke 2:32 as a means of how people can come to know God, specifically Jesus, as a way that God provides to people Salvation. Let’s look at the verse and put some context into it. Luke 2:32 (ESV) 32  a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” We will start with some early commentaries on what Luke 2:32 means: Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers: To lighten the Gentiles.—Literally, for a revelation to the Gentiles.The idea is strictly that of the withdrawal of the “veil spread over all nations” of Isaiah 25:7.

Hypocrisy 101

TheSire

Dr. Leighton Flowers has been an outspoken critic of all things Calvinism. He has made a bit of a following doing so. The problem with many of his arguments is their ability to refute his own position. That won’t be the point of what I’ll be talking about, but I would like to point out his hypocritical coverage of Calvinism and to that of Molinism. He never attacks the Molinism of his traditionalist allies. I can understand that that isn’t his audience nor is it his mission to give an analysis of different Soteriological systems. He is really Anti-Calvinism101 and … Continue reading Hypocrisy 101

1 Cor. 10:13

TheSire

A while back some indeterminist proponents were using this verse to defend libertarian freedom. The problem with that is they maintain that libertarian freedom is the necessary condition of moral culpability. That means that an agent without that ability would be innocent for any deed he does. If they believe this way of escape that is provided by God is libertarian freedom, then the passage only gives that freedom to believers in God. God doesn’t provide a way of escape for everyone. So, the libertarian would have to maintain all nonbelievers are innocent. Other stuff: Steve Hays: Molinism and 1 … Continue reading 1 Cor. 10:13

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?
