Yes, He does. The section of God is very long, I will put that up next. it should answer your questions We can investigate that claim. That is clearly taught although several have not come to see it yet... some say that, but others see it as truth from scripture. What if we let scripture...

—But, to prevent objections, it must be observed, 1. That men's life is said to be shortened, when it doth not extend to an ordinary length, or to that of which their constitution seemed capable, Job 15:32; Job 17:1; Ps 55:23; Ps 102:23-24; Prov 10:27; Eccles 7:17. 2. That prolonging of men's...

Every thing which was made in creation, or which happens in providence, was foreordained in the decree of God in that precise form, Acts 15:18; Acts 17:26; Eph 1:11; Isa 46:10-11; Isa 14:24,27 ;— the most contingent and wicked not excepted, Gen 50:20; Gen 45:5,7; Acts 2:23-24; Acts 4:27-28. And...

I have seen and read where there is a Baptist form of Covenant theology. It maintains Baptist distinctives, yet see's God as a Covenant making, and Covenant keeping God. I am not yet familiar with Millard Erickson. I will have to do a search on him. Thaks for the recommendation!

4. Nothing more clearly manifests the existence of a divine decree, than God's circumstantiated predictions of an infinity of future events even the most contingent, and his exact fulfilment thereof, for almost six thousand years past, Amos 3:7; Matt 8:17; John 19:36, etc. The inseparable...

2. The manifold, marvellous, comely, and profitable connections of an infinity of dissimilar creatures, and the exact answerableness of each to its respective ends; nay, all the marks of infinite wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth, which are to be found in the works of...

Here is the link which is over 700 pages. I will open discussion on various portions of it. Not all 700 pages so here we go. CHAPTER 3: Of the Decrees and Purposes of God. God acts on himself in contemplating, loving, and delighting in himself; and in the persons of the Godhead knowing...

No basis in scripture??? you are full of surprises JOJ,lol I can understand your being busy, but This will take a while to lay out. By that time, I am sure many will attempt to dissect it.

Lol, No. I am not saying a non cal is automatically an apostate. I am certain that neither you or your Son would suggest that biblical Calvinists I do not think there is a need to argue, but rather to clarify things. John, let ask you. When you are in a local church setting and trying to...

I agree with much of what you say, but even as I list some of these men, several of them were not Baptists. I am sure they could blow me out of the water on several vital areas of theology, but even though I might not be as learned as they are, I believe God has allowed me to come to truth on...

I am sure you are proud of your Son and how he can serve God as you have. No one looks down upon him, or you. The thing is and the question I would ask is, with all that training, If Calvinism is the truth of God, and his training alone has not enabled him to see it, could there be more to it...

He was on staff and taught Systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary having studied with notable theologians, Hodge, Warfield, Vos O.T. Allis. Professor John Murray, born shortly before the cusp of the 20th century in Scotland, was considered a leading Reformed theologian. He...

yes, he studied at the University of Glasgow. Following his acceptance as a theological student of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland he pursued further studies at Princeton Theological Seminary under J. Gresham Machen and Geerhardus Vos, but broke with the Free Presbyterian Church in 1930...

The John Murray I spoke of studied and taught here;John Murray (14 October 1898 – 8 May 1975) was a Scottish-born Calvinist theologian who taught at Princeton Seminary and then left to help found Westminster Theological Seminary, where he taught for many years. He was ordained in the Orthodox...

Thank you for that fine greeting. I would suggest the possibility that many of the claimed "former Calvinists" were no Calvinists at all. their words betray them. Sometimes those objections show the very area, where a person has missed truth and by looking with fresh eyes, or having someone go...

Okay...I agree. I offered to another poster John Murray on these areas of teachings , thinking of His book Redemption, Accomplished , and Applied. The poster dismissed him out of hand. Who was John Murray? John Murray has a PhD. He completed his PhD in Physics from Yale University and is...

If you have all this training, and you have not come to see these truths as of yet, is it possible there is something you missed? Do you explain to those who have taught you that they use too many words? Do other people in various denominations have PHD's also? Does a PhD's guarantee a...

Many profess to Be Christians and then they come to deny the faith. In speaking with such people it does not take to long to discover where they never had a grasp of basic truths that are common to all Christians. If that is true, were they ever really Christians? Sadly, I have met many people...

The concept that the Catholic church has of purgatory is not found in scripture anywhere. That would deny the Perfect once for all time sacrifice the Jesus said was finished

Not sure if I could help, but will be willing to try. What do you believe or teach that differs? Do you have portions that you believe teaches differently? I am not that smart, but maybe I have heard or read something that you might have missed?
