“Is Calvinism Biblical?” • Dave Hunt v. James White
Saw this video posted by a friend over at facebook. I think some of you guys would find interest in it. It's a 70 plus minute debate between Dr. James White and Dave Hunt of "The Berean Call". I believe this occurred in James White's regular podcast program, "The Dividing Line". ((Or if not at "The Berean Call" program, since they provided this audio. I'm not really sure.)) And as the Title of this post ...

Calvinism v. Arminianism Debate • James White v. Michael Brown
For the uninformed, Dr. James White participated in a radio/podcast debate earlier today with Dr. Michael Brown in the issue of Calvinism and Arminianism. Here are a few words from Dr. White from the Aomin blog: Today kicked off the two-part debate between myself and Michael Brown. I suppose it is the classical Calvinist/Arminian debate, but I prefer the monergism/synergism description myself. In any case, we covered John 6, Romans 8-9, and Ephesians 1 over the ...

He is Not a Weak Beggar, He is a Powerful Savior
The Gospel of Calvinism as was just described is not: "Well, maybe God doesn't love you." You see the apostolic proclamation was "repent and believe." It wasn't "this is what God has done for you." Maybe the problem here is that we're judging the Gospel by our emotions and experiences rather than by the infallible, unchanging, inspired Word of God. I've heard no response to John 6, Ephesians 1, Romans 8 and 9, 1 Timothy 2. I've heard ...

Sean Penn, Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage.
Recently at the Academy Awards, Sean Penn was Awarded as the best actor in his performance in the movie Milk. The movie Milk, for those of you not familiar, is an adaptation of Harvey Milk's life. In essence it was one of the pivotal events that led to the "open acceptance" of homosexuality in the United States of America. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhJOT7CHO94 I wonder how the majority of the Christian world would respond to the statements made by Mr. ...

Was Anyone Saved on the Cross?
We say Christ so died that he infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ's death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved. ---Charles Haddon Spurgeon There was a time when I called myself a "four-point Calvinist." There are a lot of people who use that term, and, almost all the time, ...

“You Don’t Have to Get Offensive.”
Paul seemed surprised at the sudden spotlight. “Well, that’s a very large and complex subject.....” “Surely it is, but did you inform these dear folks of that when you used that verse (2 Thess 2:15) to get them to begin to question the sufficiency of God’s holy Word?” There was a deathly silence. “I didn’t feel it necessary to go into such detail, no.” “Even when you knew admitting the confusion that exists in Rome about the topic ...

“James White is a Hyper-Calvinist”
This is what was said by David Allen at the recent highly controversial conference conducted by the Southern Baptist Convention called the "John 3:16 Conference" last November 6-7, 2008. The conference was described by organizers as a biblical and theological assessment of and response to five-point Calvinism, was held Nov. 6-7 at First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Ga. About 1,000 pastors and laypeople attended. TULIP, the acronym used to describe the central five doctrines that Reformed ...

Obama, Homosexuality, Infanticide.
Barack Obama was hailed the president elect of the United States of America yesterday. People from different fields, industries and diverse economic statuses are saying in unison: "Change is upon us!" As professing Christians too pump their arms in joyous celebration, "Finally! A Christian President that can do us good!", I think to myself, when these myriads of people hear their echoed voices in 2 to 3 years, seeing visions of the fruits of Obama's ...

Pastors, is Your Preaching Wimpy?
When Paul spoke to the Ephesian elders in his final meeting with them, he said these words: "Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God." (Acts 20:26-27) The true preacher of the Word seeks to have this as his ambition as well. God is not honored when men think so little of ...
