Biography
What I love: I love my Family, and I love the TRUTH. I love the fact that I grew up in small town Potosi rather than the big city. What I like to do: I love to spend time with my family. In particular, I enjoy spending time with my wife, son, and dog on the current river in Van Buren. We own riverfront property where we spend a lot of time in the summer. We also have a boat that we use A LOT! Politics: I'm a right wing nut job! All kidding aside, I am very conservative with a libertarian slant. I always vote straight ticket republican. Theology: I believe that salvation is entirely comprised of FREE and SOVEREIGN GRACE and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the person who is being saved. All conditions for salvation are based upon CHRIST, and not the person being saved. I do not believe in FREE WILL. I also believe that EVERY SINGLE THING is positively predestined and determined from eternity. NOTHING happens that God did not plan out in complete intricate detail. What this means is even SIN and EVIL events in this fallen world were PLANNED BY GOD for His Sovereign Purpose. I run a website devoted to the study of predestinarian theology: http://www.predestinarian.net

Ditch the Garbage! - Too many people are proud of their humility - I, on the other hand, am not humble - and am proud of it!
"Luther's New Testament was so much multiplied and spread by printers that even tailors and shoemakers, yea, even women and ignorant persons who had accepted this new Lutheran gospel, and could read a little German, studied it with the greatest avidity as the fountain of all truth. Some committed it to memory, and carried it about in their bosom. In a few months such people deemed themselves so learned that they were not ashamed to dispute about faith and the gospel not only with Catholic laymen, but even with priests and monks and doctors of divinity." - A complaint by German humanist Johann Cochlaeus.
I am preparing a long detailed response to Monty Colier's slander of me on youtube. His video has been transcribed, and I will deal with this once and for all. If you search "Brandan Kraft" on the internet, his video is the first hit.
Here is the transcription of Monty's video:
Brandan Kraft also known on the internet as "Darth Gill" manages the following websites: 5solas.org pristinegrace.org and predestinarian.net
Recently The Banner of Truth published two essays linking the names of Robert Sandeman, the 18th-century Scots preacher, and Gordon Clark, the 20th-century American theologian and philosopher. This is most unfortunate, for several reasons.
First, neither author of these essays, Douglas Barnes and Geoff Thomas, is qualified to make this comparison. At the time of their writing, neither had read the relevant works of Robert Sandeman, and one of them had not even read Gordon
Folks, I know it's been a long time since I've put any time into improving the technology of this website. And it may seem strange to continue expanding in SPITE of our recent lack of activity. But I'm going to plow ahead anyway and see what happens....

"If I admit that God's Will regulates the great movements of the universe I must admit that it equally regulates the small. It must do this, for the great depend upon the small. The minutest movement of my will is regulated by the will of God. And in this I rejoice. Woe is me if it be not so. If I shrink from so unlimited control and guidance, it is plain that I dislike the idea of being wholly at the disposal of God. I am wishing to be in part at my own disposal. I am ambitious of regulating
