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). I’m saying that it’s intuitive to you that on some level an … Continue reading Braxton Hunter on Presuppositionalism and Determinism
Eric Hernandez on Presuppositionalism
Eric Hernandez went on Soteriology101 to discuss Calvinism and presuppositionalism. It wasn’t a very interesting podcast. So, I’ll state a few brief things about it and won’t waste much time about it. 1. Hernandez is simply ignorant of the actual presuppositionalists view of the role of evidence in apologetics. He thinks Van Tilians are against evidence and even quips “Elijah didn’t read Van Til”. Dr. James Anderson stated in an article about “Frequently Encountered Misconceptions of Van Til”: 1. Van Til rejected the use of evidence in apologetics [A] minority of evangelicals continues to support retrenchment and isolationism. […] Not … Continue reading Eric Hernandez on Presuppositionalism
Hypocrisy 101
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

Natural and Free Knowledge
God’s Knowledge: In thinking about God’s knowledge theologically it was customary for many years, until and including the Reformation, to distinguish between God’s necessary knowledge and His free knowledge. The distinction is obvious and natural. God’s necessary knowledge includes several kinds of truths. It is the knowledge of matters such as the truths of mathematics (for example, 2+2=4). It is also the knowledge of truths such as the whole is greater than the part and no circle can be a square. God’s necessary knowledge also includes His knowledge of all possibilities, such as possible people, the possible lives they could … Continue reading Natural and Free Knowledge

How to flunk Soteriology101?
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?
