This has led to Catholics then point the finger back at Protestants. Whether they are on the same level is highly debatable: https://triablogue.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-sbc-scandal.html Continue reading The SBC Sexual Assault Explosion

“Not Wishing For Any To Perish” by Chris Harris 2 Peter 3:9. Is it a good passage for the Lord wanting all men to be saved? Let’s look at it. I believe everyone knows that I am a Calvinist, so I will offer how I see this passage as a Calvinist would. The thing is that we aren’t using some “special” hermeneutics to do so, rather just allowing the text to speak without allowing our presuppositions to force us in any direction. So, let’s look at the passage. 2 Peter 3:9 (NAS): The Lord is not slow about His promise, … Continue reading Not Wishing For Any To Perish
I understand that Open Theist are on a spectrum and have many different ideas about how to go about crafting a worldview. Of course, Chris Fisher is more on the exegetical side of the debate. He tries to tie in … Continue reading Fisher on Metaphysics
Recently, Chris Fisher has chosen to “respond” to my article. The video starts with a dance video and like most things about this video he disappoints us with a lesser quality one than in his first response to me. He starts with the So-called substance of his video complaining about the title of the article I wrote. I think that’s a moment where those that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw boulders. I didn’t know we were dealing with creative titles with the “God is open” folks. This sounds as if your website is dedicated to the issue of a … Continue reading Open gods and Closed Minds
Tyler Vela presented an interesting argument for limited atonement. He argued if unlimited atonement was true then the only reason we are punished in Hell is our unbelief. The issue is that the Bible teaches that we are punished for more than mere unbelief: Galatians 5:19-21 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:9-11 9 Or do you not know that … Continue reading Limited Punishment
Robert Rowe has gone around popularizing an argument against KJV Onlyism. While I agree with there existing tension between the Grammatical-Historical method of interpretation and KJV Onlyism. I don’t think Psalm 145 is as ironclad as Robert has presented it from my understanding. Let’s look at the argument: http://dustoffthebible.com/Blog-archive/2016/04/01/translation-errors-in-the-king-james-version-psalm-145-wheres-the-nun/ KJV: 12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. ISV: … Continue reading Robert Rowe on KJV Onlyism
