In the last post I was looking at an article on Limited Atonement. There I talked about how the issue of Limited vs. Unlimited Atonement has less to do with the nature of the atonement…
An article was recently shared with me that had convinced an Arminian to become a Calvinist. It describes the doctrine of Limited Atonement. For those who are curious about my thoughts on the matter, I…
At SEA, we promote Arminianism. Arminianism is first and foremost a soteriology: an explanation on how salvation works according to the Bible. But for any who are familiar with the Arminianism/Calvinism debate, the conversation has…
I’ve been thinking about this question for a little while now, but what actually determines when the day ends? I don’t mean physically, but rhetorically, like when someone says, “At the end of the day…
All Saints Day, which is tomorrow, is an important yet seemingly forgotten holiday among evangelical Christians. Now this is my personal opinion. While I am writing this for SEA, I am not writing this as…
I often listen to Dr. William Lane Craig’s podcasts, both his general podcast and his Defenders class. They are very informative and I highly recommend them. In his most recent Defenders class, as of the…
All footnote links lead back to the original post. In the Arminian/Calvinism debate, the most aggravating topic for me has been the Atonement debate. Calvinists will argue that Christ died only for the elect…
[All footnotes link to the original post] What is Arminianism? This sounds like it should be a simple matter. Simply look it up a dictionary and read what’s there. But there is a problem.…
So I was looking through Alpha and Omega ministries looking for a concise presentation of Dr. White’s view of Romans 9, for reference purposes, when I came across a primer in their blog roll. Now,…
All footnote links lead to original post Is Libertarian Free Will Cogent? Preliminaries One of the arguments that Calvinists argue is that the very notion of Libertarian Free Will (LFW) is incoherent. “It simply doesn’t make…
This article came from JC_Freak: The Irish Protestant. The original post can be found here. Richard Bushey has produced another article about Arminianism, and I felt that as a friend I should give it…
What I Mean by Rhetorical Piety It is important to note that I am not suggesting that Calvinists are doing anything deceptive here. So when I mean piety, I don’t mean false piety. More simply,…
So what is the debate about security really about? Well, there are two realms within which this debate takes place: pastoral and theological. So instead of looking at the two positions in succession, we’ll be…
The fourth point immediately follows from the doctrine of depravity. If we are born depraved, separated from God, and incapable of coming to Christ on our own, then God is the one that needs to…
The differences in Depravity between Calvinists and Arminians are perhaps the most interesting for our topic since both Calvinists and Arminians agree on the basic concept. However, I do think we think about Total Depravity…
The atonement debate is really interesting to me because to some degree it is a red herring. Both sides seem to think that the issue has to do with the nature of the Atonement. However…
The question of election isn’t whether or not God chooses who to save, but whether or not He does so unconditionally. The question is whether or not our differences on this question are grounded in…
What Is Centeredness I have often heard it said by Calvinists that they are God centered while we are man centered. Now as far as I have seen, they’ve never really given a definition about…
Introduction When asked the difference between Arminianism and Pelagainism, I always have trouble knowing exactly where to start. It is a bit like being asked about the difference between Republicanism and Monarchy: the simple answer…
In part 1, I looked at a short essay written by a Geoff Ashley that has apparently been making the rounds through Calvinist circles as an explanation of the Calvinist perspective of the will. I agree that…
