Why I’m not Eastern Orthodox

Eastern Orthodoxy is a non-existent issue in the western world and as a result, protestants have a difficult time communicating with them. It has a few pockets in this section of the world. It is mainly popular among people on the internet. This isn’t a complete list of reasons why I’m not Eastern Orthodox but a few of the main reasons why I reject it. I’m not an expert on Eastern Orthodoxy but I have interacted with some of them. 1. The Gospel: Many EOs deny that we are justified by faith in the way Protestants teach. They often maintain … Continue reading Why I’m not Eastern Orthodox

Adam as Priest?

In Genesis 2:15-3:24, we have God establishing a covenant of Works with Adam. The imagery of Genesis 1-3 in the ANE pictured a cosmic temple. This motif is to foreshadow the tabernacle.

If we keep Romans 5:12-19 and Genesis 3 in mind, then it seems more than likely that Adam is our representative “Priest” before God in the Garden. The fall of Adam … Continue reading Adam as Priest?

We have the Edwards-Anderson(mysterian) response and another more uncommon one. Edwards in the Freedom of the Will wrote: Concerning sins first Entrance into the world. The things which have already been offered, may serve to obviate or clear many of the objections which might … Continue reading Adam’s First Sin

Cahill’s review

I asked a Pelagian friend to give his thoughts on my article about original sin. This is my review of his review. http://shawncahill.blogspot.com/2017/04/original-sin-review.html?m=1 “I wish to look at OT evidence for the concept of Original Sin. Some say that God only punishes us for our own sins that are done in our own lives.” The author then goes on to list many verses showing people who faced a temporal judgment for the actions of their ancestors, which I do not deny. The point is he may believe that we are only punished for our own sin. This disproves the contrary … Continue reading Cahill’s review
