A friend of mine has been recently challenged by many claims from the Roman Church. It’s been a real struggle for him. I’ve tried to give him the best answers I could, with a little help from some dear friends, but its a long trying task.
Anyway, a Romanist posted these questions (on his [...]
Still Protesting
God Hates Religion…?
“A religion is a set of beliefs and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term “religion” [...]
Revival
I’ve become vaguely familiar with the happenings in Lakeland Fl and one Todd Bently. For those completely unaware of such happenings, another great revival has sprung up in the Southlands of our fair country. The usual signs accompany this outbreak. Great movements of the Spirit have led many to bark like dogs, [...]
Did the Cross save anybody?
While in the mountains, I touched a bit on John Owen’s “The Death of Death”. I’ve read a good chunk of it before but kind of rushed through the introductory essay by J.I.Packer. I went back and reread the introduction (which if it isn’t published on its own, it should be!) this week [...]
Sola Scriptura
I’ve been studying now for several weeks the Protestant views of Sola Scriptura, specifically how it differs from the Roman doctrine of Scripture+Tradition+Church. The question of what is our ultimate authority as God’s people here on earth. It’s an interesting topic to study. Rome claims it has history on it’s side in [...]
Warning! In Case of Rapture…I will have to rethink my Escatology!
You know, I really hate to keep picking on our Dispensationalist brethren. I really do. The problem is, they keep supplying me with ammo!
Check this out!
The story says this website will send an email out to your loved ones who have been left behind 6 days after the Rapture occurs. Now, I [...]
The Devil Made Me Do It!
I was recently talking with a co-worker. This person attends the same Charismatic church that I attended prior to my conversion to Presbyterianism. She often asks me theological questions concerning things that she hears in her church that either peaks her interest or flat out rubs her the wrong way. I believe [...]
PCA Takes Official Stanze of FV
The PCA’s general assembly is over for another year. A hot topic this year was of course the PCA’s study group on Auburn Avenue Theology, New Perspective on Paul and the Federal Vision. I shared with you all earlier the link to the group’s findings on the FV. The General Assembly voted [...]
More on the Federal Vision/New Perspectives on Paul
Most of my time in the mountains were spent nose deep in studying the issues of the Federal Vision and the New Perspectives on Paul. I feel as if I have a much greater understanding on these issues and how they relate to each other and how they relate to our dear Presbyterian Church.
I’d [...]
Federal Vision
I would like to start a discussion concerning the movement that has come to be known as the “Federal Vision” (FV). My chief concern in doing this is for the people of my church, New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church. I want to be able to address this issue biblically, theologically, historically, and in an irenic [...]
