Twitter is Destroying our Society.

TheSire

If the picture above drives you insane, chances are your amygdala is swollen. No doubt that over the past few days we have seen the worst in American News Media and the Social Media viral video of the Covington Catholic teens from Kentucky visiting Washington DC for the Pro-Life March. I won’t go deep in the background of the story, but teens were at the Lincoln Memorial being taunted and harassed by Black Hebrew Israelites. They were shouting racist insults to the white boys with red MAGA hats while a group of Native Americans decided to defuse the situation.  But … Continue reading Twitter is Destroying our Society.

Nicene Orthodoxy and The Reformed Tradition

TheSire

A reformed pastor asked me to provide sources on where John Calvin denied eternal generation. I just wish to clarify what I mean by stating John Calvin denies eternal generation. I maintain that he rejects the classical understanding of eternal generation as pertaining to the essence. He thinks it applies to the persons instead. I just think that is to deny the original meaning of the Nicene Creed. Here is Dr. Robert Reymond to help clarify what I’m stating: We take up now the extremely difficult matter concerning the Nicene distinction between the Father and the Son by means of … Continue reading Nicene Orthodoxy and The Reformed Tradition

Skylar appeared on Vocabs show and I’m not going to comment on everything that was … Continue reading Skylar’s Fictions

Turretin on Arminians

TheSire

The Arminians (who bring popery and Pelagianism in by the back door) have struck against the same rock. For although they endeavor with great labor to prove that they do not make faith the cause of election (in order to shun the odium of semi-Pelagianism deservedly charged upon them), still they do not deny that it is the cause sine qua non or the prerequisite condition necessary in those to be elected. Yea, not obscurely can we gather that they proceed further and attribute a certain causality to faith, so that God is moved by its foresight to choose this … Continue reading Turretin on Arminians

TheSire

Carson: Are Some Determined to Believe the Worst About Reformed Theology? Dr. James Anderson: Determined to Believe? The Sovereignty of God, Freedom, Faith, and Human Responsibility Steve Hays: Determined to Believe?
