This blog post is a response to Kevin Courter’s response to my article “5 Biblical Texts That Calvinists Can’t Wiggle Out Of”. Courter responded to that initial article here, and I responded to his response here. Kevin Courter…

[This post was taken from Adam Harwood’s website.] The following is my review of Biblical Doctrine: A Systematic Summary of Bible Truth, edited by John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2017). 1,023 pages. Hardcover,…
Free Will is a topic debated among Christians and even some non-Christians. The Christians who affirm that men have free will in the libertarian sense are Arminians, Molinists, and Open Theists. Christians who deny free…

My definition of “Compatibilism” : A desperate attempt by Calvinists to exonerate God of evil doing. Calvinists believe that God has predetermined all things, that all things happen in the world — including all sin…
