Maintain the Gospel. Maintain the fight.
I am writing this on May 30th, 2015. A friend of mine linked me to a disturbing article about the sovereignty of God, written by Mark Woods. After reading, the only thing more surprising to me than the lack of any biblical, Christian orthodoxy was the fact that I was surprised that Christianity Today published Continue Reading
For the longest time, the abortion debate had been centered around whether a fetus is a human being or not. It is both politically and morally logical that humans have the right to life. Thus, if the object of abortion is a human being, it should not be legal. The pro-choice movement’s argument was centered Continue Reading
In case you’re unable to watch the video: a woman named Kelly walks into a restraunt and demands everyone’s attention. She then begins to speak of “having a little girl” named Snow who had been abused her entire life. She then drops the ball that this little girl is actually a pet chicken. She Continue Reading
A common theme for naturalists scrambling to find a justification for the morality they appeal to everyday is to claim that morality is innate within us. A couple examples of many should be sufficient: Christopher Hitchens made this claim to Douglas Wilson and President of the American Atheist orginization, David Silverman, made this claim in Continue Reading
In Eric Svendsen’s small book Upon This Slippery Rock, he gives a small dedication in the front that reads: “To the new breed of ‘e-pologists’ who contend for the faith over the Internet-the new battleground of apologetics.” This statement is phenomenal. The Internet is now where a large amount of contending for the faith is Continue Reading
A must read for all Calvinists is the book “No Place for Sovereignty” by R.K. McGregor Wright. It is one of the best reads on reformed theology I have read thus far, even considering The Potter’s Freedom by Dr. White. In his book, Wright demonstrates a fundamental flaw with Arminianism’s idea of free-will, and how Continue Reading
I recently engaged some Mormon missionaries, and one of the many topics covered was the topic of original sin. Original sin is and always has been a universally accepted orthodox Christian doctrine. The extent of original sin is debated. For example, brothers in Christ who fall into the Arminian camp do not perceive original sin Continue Reading
To begin, I want it to be made clear that I have the highest respect and utmost love for my Presbyterian brothers and sisters (PCA). As a reformed man, I find myself agreeing with them on very many issues. Often times I agree with them on more issues than some churches I have attended. However, Continue Reading
As Christians, we must not favor philosophical over Biblical exegesis. Typically during in-house debates with fellow Christian brothers I try to not make my arguments philosophical in nature, but exegetical. I want to ground theology in what Scripture reveals. Recently a presenter made a philosophical argument against an eternal decree by claiming that a decree Continue Reading
Gerry Matatics was once a well known “Catholic” apologist. Gerry has a book titled How the Bible Converted Me To Catholicism: One Protestant Minister’s Surprising Journey of Faith. However, according to Gerry’s own public statements, and Catholic teaching itself, it is actually impossible for the Bible to convert someone to Roman Catholicism. In almost any Continue Reading
