The two main groups in the UK that are KJV-only are the Bible Society and the Trinitarian Bible Society. I know some of the people involved in both orgnizations, and they don't seem to be quite as extreme as their American counterparts - more Joel Beeke than Gail Riplinger! In fact, some of...

It is Written. John Hooper (ed.). Bible League Trust, 2025, 655 pages. https://www.textandtranslation.org/it-is-written-by-bible-league-trust/ One for all you KJV fans out there; this time, from Britain. No, I haven't read it and no, I shall not be buying it. But if someone wants to buy me...

I called you a one trick pony because you don't seem to have anything to say that does not come down to "Cal vs. Arm." I am an unapologetic Calvinist, but I have said everything I want to say on that matter on various threads, and it would be nice to discuss something else. It is certainly my...

I think I understand very well. You have repeated yourself often enough. According to my view, which is aligned with Scripture, God is a just Judge ( 2 Tim. 4:8; Psalm 7:11 again!). He is also the Judge of all the world who will do what is right (Genesis 18:25; c.f. also James 4:12), will...

I have never said that the resurrection is of no import and you will not find anywhere that I have said so. This is too boring. Every single thing comes back to your Pelagian views. Penal Substitution is not tied directly to Calvinism. The Wesleyan Methodists believed in P.S. If you want to...

It isn't what you said. You said that your penal substitution theory does not present Christ as accomplishing reconciliation at the cross. Well your theory may not do so, but the Bible, and the Doctrine of Penal Substitution both do. [ So according to your theory, God was not troubled about...

Oh dear! You really are a one trick pony, aren't you? The cross does not work without the resurrection, but the opposite applies. The resurrecction does not work without the cross. Christ did not die to make anyone 'saveable.' We (and that includes you and me, whether you like it or not)...

Your point is wrong. We were reconciled to God by the death of Christ (Romans 5:10; 2 Cor. 5:18). I don't know of any theologian who denies that. Exactly.

So what do you think Christ dying for the ungodly accomplished? Do you think it didn't save? Do you think being reconciled to God by the blood of Christ (Col. 19-22) doesn't mean we are saved? Do you think being justified (declared righteous) is not enough to save us. OK. We have been...

Absolutely right! Thank you for posting that. '.... That both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.' Wonderful! and so succinct! 'Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed' (Psalm 85:10). People here should...

Do you believe that Paul was somehow mixed-up when he wrote 1 Cor. 2:2? And the writer of Hebrews mistaken when he wrote Heb. 9? I have no time at present to write a treatise on Rom. 5:10, but you will find that, properly understood, it will not contradict the other texts. One more point: I...

You make it sound as if Luther and Calvin were mass murderers. Someone has written, The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there. It was generally believed for hundreds of years that allowing freedom of religion would spark violence and revolution, a belief that was only...

True, but if you wanted to use it to find out about the theological views of Anabaptists, as I once did, you would be disappointed. It has very little to say about theology - nothing that I could find about the nature of God, Christ or salvation - and deals mostly with matters of church order...

You started off using the word 'surety.' Then you wanted to switch it to 'guarantee.' Now you want to say it's the 'assurance.' I think you should make up your mind. Enguos only appears once in the N.T., in Heb. 7:22, but I believe it is the word used in the LXX in Prov. 6:1-5 & 11:15, both...

Luther and Calvin, like everybody else, were sinners saved by grace because the Lord Jesus Christ had graciously taken their sins upon Himself and paid the penalty for then in full. The apostle Paul was by his own confession, a murderer (Acts 22:4; 26:10). Just as he was used in an...

OK. I think "guarantor" as in the ESV translation of Heb.7:22, is better as the Lord Jesus is the one who gives the guarantee. So here's my post again: What do you think a "guarantor" is? Well, to save time, I'll tell you. A guarantor is someone who takes on and guarantees the debts of someone...

A couple of points: Firstly, if you join a church that 'just believes the Bible,' you have no idea what it believes the Bible teaches, and no defence against it changing its mind. I do not foresee myself leaving my current church, but if for some reason I did, I would never join a church...

Yes. Read Psalm 22.

In my church we have two young(ish) men who serve as elders. One has four children; the other has five :)
