Okay, glad to have cleared that up.



I'd been contemplating 1 Cor 12:3 in the last few weeks. I found an interesting comment online recently that seems to tie the whole context together....

Hi again Don.

"I, for one, do not accept this notion that a single act or word spoken in time puts one past forgiveness." I do not accept this either, I'm not sure if you are claiming that I did....

If anyone has never read this evidence presented by Augustus Toplady: that the whole Arminian system was invented by the papal Jesuits (Society of Jesus), which secret society has as it's sole...

Hi Don. There is more than one issue raised here that are critical to judging all matters by the gospel.

• Holy Spirit regeneration as contrasted to Holy Spirit enlightenment on various issues...

Thank you, I appreciate that! I have enjoyed many of your writings here. :)

There’s a diversity of views that may be denominated as sovereign grace. I am aware that Augustine may be placed in this...

Brethren,

Here is a link to what I am talking about: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/15121.htm

Of course, the source is Roman Catholic but that does not matter.

I have written a lot...

Thanks so much Don for your gospel testimony and wisdom demonstrated in these posts! More interaction to come soon. I am going to post a new thread on Augustine's late 'conversion' to the gospel of...

Thank you! :)



I see regeneration foreshadowed in God clothing Adam and Eve, whereas they had tried to cover themselves in fig leaves. But regeneration is something God does. Of course, that...

This is an interesting topic. I was initially attracted to the “without means” position just due to my own experience. I had what was, as it were, a sudden change of heart in late December 2018,...

In the past, I have had many challenges to the notion that the taunt against the king (kingdom) of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 in no way refers to Satan. Many have tried to score 'debate points' affirming...

Gill does not quite explain why Paul states there are some who 'perhaps' will be excused in conscience due to such light (what God has created), those who worship the creator in some manner until...

Hebrews 10:28-31:

He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the...

The second article is really good. I challenge the speculative notion: "except Adam had died, he would have abided alone, and the world would never have been peopled through him.". The Bible does...

The tenor of the article is excellent overall. I do not subscribe to Curry's view of the hereditary nature of a 'fall' of Adam, as all know who have read my writing for years. He stated: The total,...

A Brief Exegesis of Romans 5:12-21 (ESV)

NOTE: The position outlined here is one I have embraced, defended, and written about for many years. I am presenting it again as the old issue has come...

Thanks Brandan for this article, it hits the nail on the head. I do not believe the death as the consequence of Adam's sin is 'spiritual' death (dualism) that is promoted by most all teachers in the...

I am in process of composing my response, which will essentially be the same exegetical and logical arguments I have presented for years.

The Neon Gas Lamp speaks of Brandan's teaching as...

All I can say is, how is the traditional doctrine of 'hell' as perceived by most of those in 'orthodoxy' a part of the true gospel of eternal election and imputed justification in Christ's person and...

When I am able, in the middle of my present busy challenges, I will construct a response to arguments advanced by the neon gas lamp. So glad to have someone actually interacting again with attempted...

Thanks Brandan. Point well taken and understood completely. --Bob

Very simply, I see no essential difference! Neither one has a spoonful of the true gospel in them, both make the...

Brandan: This is my tendency now. I’m now pretty much settled in my convictions and I now tend to avoid this material... It’s tough to slog through the garbage and the muck for a few gold nuggets of...

I wrote a poem the other day and I've been wanting to share it with y'all. I figured this was the best way for me to do that. I call it:

"The Call to the Remebrance of Grace" by Justin Scott...

In the now deceased R.C. (Robert Charles) Sproul’s book Everyone’s A Theologian, chapter 2 on the Scope and Purpose of Theology, he emphasizes the importance of integrating Systematic Theology,...

Brandan,

Wonderful articles in my estimation, right on target! I still have no idea of why anyone was interested in starting this 'controversy' if they care about the greater meat of the simple...
