The studies to be posted in this thread will examine the crucial matter of the Christ-centered theology of many writings in the Dead Sea Scrolls. No book has been written on the subject to date that remotely deals with the true issues. Protestant and Catholic theologians are quite happy to let the...
A lot of people in their profiles answered: "No, there is no such thing as a "dead faith" because those who give mental assent to the truth will undoubtedly perform good works. " Yet, they affirmed that James is inspired. Jas 2:17, (KJV), Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being...
I was just reading in the question and answer section and I came across Q&A about the epistle of James and that it should not be part of the canon. I never really thought about it until now. It does appear to be a book of works. Every atom in the Universe is in it's correct place and doing just...
A (seemingly bitter) controversy has arisen recently among sovereign grace teachers on the timing of when God imputes the verdict of justification and Christ's righteousness to the believer. I would like to see a discussion of this subject as it is a major divisive issue at this time. As an...
Greetings to all: This thread was created for the purpose of refuting the Federal Vision doctrine which some may or may not know about. That is why it is here posted, to let you know. It was also created to look at the rebuttals of those who see this false doctrine for the babble it is....
In searching the records of Protestant history, I have come to the firm conclusion that CALVIN HIMSELF was the author of the 66 book high-canon accepted by Protestants and other 'independent' non-Catholics. I do not believe that anyone can dispute this fact. From the French Confession of Faith in...
The Multi-Level Canon No established doctrinal statement or published writing in Protestantism contains a definite and clear teaching on the notion of a multi-level canon. Most official teaching and confessional dogma supports the 66 canonical books established at the Council of Carthage (397...
Hello. I recently transfered to a christian school to get away from the problems in public high school. Upon transferring we had our first chapel service yesterday and i must say it was rather disturbing... Most of the students were worshipping with their arms waving in their air... mostly...
Do you believe Christ was literally evil? Even for a speck of time? Then you believe an awful heresy. I am taking a stand right now against this evil doctrine that Christ was more than made sin by imputation but that he was actually made a sinner! I'm taking a stand against the notion that a...
This thread is Bob Higby's contribution to the 5solas.org Blog project.
This thread will serve as Brandan's weblog....
I am a Calvinist who is leaning toward what I perceive as "Hyper-Calvinism." I am about half way through Darth's response to Phil Johnson's article and so far I am taking a liking to what I am reading. I was raised an Arminian and have just recently believed that Calvinism is true. I don't...
What is the Doctrine of the common fall?
Which of the four methods do you feel is the best one for interrupting Bible prophecy? I see the options to be something like this. 1. Preterism leads very quickly to hyper preterism because it’s very hard to draw the line between What is to be fulfilled literally in the future instead of...
Quiz for Soul Winners by C.C. Morris This is a short quiz to test the Bible knowledge of soul-winners, revivalists, people who hand out tracts and put religious handbills on windshields and screen doors, and all who equate quality of worship with quantity of activity. Also, this quiz might...
I was at a conference this past weekend and in one of the messages the preacher talked about Christ taking on the believer's sin and that it was so real that Christ was truly guilty. He said a number of things to the same affect. In essence Christ's taking on the believer's sin was more than by...
I have been reading the articles that Ian posted on the Two seeds thread on the imputation of the Active vs. the Passive obedience of Christ and what exactly is imputed to us regarding our 'righteousness'. Active obedience: The perfect obedience of Jesus Christ to the Mosaic Law. Passive...
So what about the doctrine of hell? 1. Are the torments of hell without end? 2. Are the torments of hell without measure (unmitigated with any sense of God's goodness)? 3. Is there a hell at all for reprobates whom God has destined to go there? 4. What exactly is the nature of hell...
This comes from his article: What We Believe about the Five Points of Calvinism - http://www.desiringgod.org/library/topics/doctrines_grace/tulip.html This teaching on Justification by Piper is the reason I can no longer endorse him as a teacher. This teaching takes our eyes off of the perfect...
wondering what all of you think of this: Both points are distinctly stated to us: namely, that faith in Christ brings life to all, and that Christ brought life, because the Heavenly Father loves the human race, and wishes that they should not perish. And this order ought to be carefully...
Carla brought to my attention this morning in a private message that 5solas.org and pristinegrace.org made the list on Phil Johnson's Bad Theology Page. Indeed, 5solas.org is listed just right above the vineyard churches and Daniel Fuller's listing which promotes works salvation! Here is the...
In the thread that dealt with Marc Carpenter and his outside the camp theology, Bob wrote the following: I've been chewing on this for a while now, and I have to agree with Bob here. I asked you Bob about this a couple months ago regarding Adam being the common ancestor of all men which you...
Matthew 21:46 - 22:14 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they took Him for a prophet. NKJ Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3...
Dear friends, I have come to a final decision on the matter of full preterism. I did not come to this position lightly, but it was a position that I came to through much time, study and prayer. It may hurt those of you who are preterists, but my intention is not to hurt - but to proclaim truth. ...
