Richard Coords, “Holiness of God”
James 1:17 states: “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” One of the most fundamental…
Richard Coords, “Hell”
The purpose of Hell is to restrain evil. For those who do not want God, they get an eternity without God. For those who do not love God, they get an eternity without God’s love….
Richard Coords, “Hate”
How do non-Calvinists deal with certain Bible verses which show that God hates certain people? Psalm 5:5: “The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.” Psalm 7:11: “God is…
Richard Coords, “Hardening”
The operative word in human hardening is resolve, and there are two types of hardening. There is the hardening that we do to ourselves within our own heart and there is the hardening that God…

Richard Coords, “Grace”
What is God’s grace? It is several things. It includes the fact that Jesus died for you, so that your sins can be forgiven, if you will meet His condition of placing your faith and…
Richard Coords, “Gospel”
The message of the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, in which there is life in His name, for whosoever believes in Him. John 3:16 summarizes it well: “‘For…
Richard Coords, “God’s Will”
Is it true that every time we sin, we thwart God’s Will for our life? Yes, of course. However, we can never thwart God’s overall purpose for creation and mankind. Hence, it is necessary to…
Friday Files: Gospel
The Gospel is the heart of the Christian message. It is the good news of what Jesus has done for us, and, of course, the world. It is difficult to say whether the Arminian and…
Richard Coords, “God-Centered”
Calvinists believe that non-Calvinism is necessarily man-centered, rather than God-centered, if the choice of salvation is left up to the sinner’s own decision to humble themselves, confess their sins and ask God for forgiveness, rather…
Richard Coords, “God”
God is Love, Light and Life. Each of these things tell us something special about God. 1st John 4:7-8 tells us that God is love: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from…
Richard Coords, “Glory”
Have you ever heard a Calvinist say, “It’s all about the glory of God?” That seems to be a common expression, but it begs the question: What brings God the most glory? Non-Calvinists believe that…
Seth Miller, “The Foundation of Election: An Overview of Classical Arminianism”
This link is to a paper giving an overview of the Arminian view of election, and comparing it to the Calvinist view. It is an excellent summary and worthy primer to any interested in the…
Richard Coords, “Free-Will”
God gives man free-will, and man chooses to believe in determinism, instead. That is the sad irony that Calvinists introduce into Christianity. So, is “freewill” a pagan term? No, it is a biblical term: Philemon…
Richard Coords, “Gift Principles”
The Bible presents eternal life as a free gift. Romans 6:23 states:“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, if we…
Richard Coords, “Gaslighting (Spiritualized)”
According to psychological experts, “gaslighting” is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, hoping to make them question their own…
Richard Coords, “Foreknowledge”
Foreknowledge is prescience, meaning knowing ahead of time. For instance, God said of Pharaoh: “‘But I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, except under compulsion. So I will stretch…
Friday Files: Molinism
SEA does not take an official stance on the subject of Molinism. There are some members who are openly Molinist, such as Dan Chapa and Evan Minton. There are others that think that Arminianism and…
