Does Idol Killer think God has a Body?

January 25, 2024 TheSire

Braxton Hunter and Jonathan Pritchett had Warren McGrew on their show to discuss whether he is a heretic. This led to a series of friendly discussion but unclear and unpersuasive conclusions. I posed two inquiries regarding Warren McGrew’s perspective: I … Continue reading Does Idol Killer think God has a Body?

Ordo Absurdum: The Golden Chain of Redemption (Romans 8:28-30)

May 9, 2017 TheSire

Following on the heels of the argumentation provided for regeneration preceding faith in 1 John 5:1 (which can be viewed here), I would like to provide a defense of the reformed doctrine of God’s unconditional election and predestination in Romans 8:28-30. In order to do this, I have provided another abridged version (the full thread can be read here) of a conversation that I had in the comment section (the same thread as the previous article linked above) of a YouTube video by Dr. Leighton Flowers (which I participated in). This conversation is breathtaking in regards to the level of inconsistency and … Continue reading Ordo Absurdum: The Golden Chain of Redemption (Romans 8:28-30)

(Note: By this, we do not mean that regeneration occurs at a different point in time — temporal sequence — than the initial exercise of saving faith, but that the two occur in a logical sequence; regeneration and faith are contemporaneous.) Many are aware that, when reformed theology seeks to establish this from Scripture, 1 John 5:1 often comes up. As a matter of fact, there has been much confusion concerning why the reformed community points to this … Continue reading Ordo Absurdum: 1 John 5:1
