Vengeance is Mine, part II

Continuing from yesterday, here are my thoughts:
Miley’s weak conception of atonement illustrates a confusion between God’s forgiveness, and our forgiveness, which are actually very different from each other. In a very real sense, God does not forgive sins.

Vengeance is Mine, part I

Last week I listened to a lecture by Dr. Kim Riddlebarger, called “B. B. Warfield on Arminians and Evangelicals.” (The lecture is basically a reiteration of chapter 5 of Riddlebarger’s dissertation on Warfield). One of the topics Riddlebarger covered was Warfield’s review of John Miley’s Methodist (Arminian) Systematic Theology.

Four out of Five Arminians Agree…

…that Albino Hayford is one of them (or more precisely three and two (or one?) halves).
If you have a real life, you are probably not aware that this blog has recently been through a bad case of the Calvinism/Arminianism wars.  I have actually given up “winning” the debate about which is right; nowadays I would [...]

Before or After

My blog runneth over. What all started at Jesus the Hyper-Calvinist, has burgeoned into L is for Effectual, Joey the Arminian, Whodunit, Santa the Arminian, Guess Who, Guest Post, You Might Be Arminian If…, What is an Arminian?, and No Creed But… And still it’s not enough — I get pleas for more!

No Creed But…

This is just funny. (Hat tip to This Millenial Life), somebody has taken it upon themselves to write down the Semi-Pelagian Narrower Catechism. My favorite is Q&A #22:
22. Q: Hath God predestined vessels of wrath to Hell?
A: God hath never performed such an omnipotent act, for any such thing would not reflect His [...]

What is an Arminian?

Most Reformed people understand that, while the term “Calvinist” typically means holding to the 5 Doctrines of Grace, or petals of TULIP (thus a 4-point Calvinist affirms TUIP), the handy TULIP acronym was not created by Calvin himself, but was created by the 1618/19 Synod of Dordt (over 50 years after Calvin’s death), in response [...]

You Might Be an Arminian If…

Here’s one we can all enjoy. My Arminian buddy Albino Hayford can listen and be inspired and affirmed. The rest of us can enjoy it as satire.

Guest Post

Echo keeps burying these gems deep into long comment trails where nobody will ever see them! I can’t get him to start his own blog, but maybe this is the next best thing: I have (without his permission) lifted about half of this comment and brought it up to this top level (where [...]

Guess Who

On his blog, my dad often presents a quote from a book, and challenges readers to name the theologian. I thought I’d take a page from the old man’s book today. Can you name the author?
