Chesterton causes me to sin - I envy his mind. :) I began reading it but never finished, but not because it wasn't a great book. This (below), if it is actually from his pen, is my personal favorite piece of his work because it shows great insight. We all might be guilty of thinking that...

"Certain new theologians dispute original sin, which is the only part of Christian theology which can really be proved." G.K. Chesterton – Orthodoxy

Yes. I did and I do.

Adding this quote from Sproul: “Our lives say much more about how we think than our books do. The theories we preach are not always the ones we actually believe. The theories we live are the ones we really believe.”

The platform of the Left speaks for itself. It is anti-Christ at every point. You can't be for Christ and against Him simultaneously. You can't kill babies, applaud and promote sodomy, encourage lawless "immigration", vote for politicians who are openly hostile to the Church, and yet wear a...

What is underneath KJVO? I think Calvin has the answer. Men's hearts are idol factories. We turn good things into god things. “From this we may gather that man’s nature, so to speak, is a perpetual factory of idols…Man’s mind, full as it is of pride and boldness, dares to imagine a god...

Try to live by (under) God's Law and you will be crushed into dust. Live by (under) His grace and you will be finally free to obey. Christ fulfilled the Covenant of Works on your behalf. "In Him" we are as righteous as if we had. On our own, we are incapable of law-obedience. If biblical...

The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope. - Tim Keller

2. On the other hand, it is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he have previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself. For (such is our innate pride) we always seem to ourselves just, and upright, and wise, and...

From Calvin's Institutes, book 1, chapter 1: 1. Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two...

A few thoughts. Firstly, you've assumed that I am incapable of a thoughtful reply to your very simple statement without hours and days of "meditation". It's not that profound a statement. . . Secondly, you've presented a false dilemma. I ask you, how fully can one know (and love) Christ...

And why is that? It's because there is no need for them. The Son has come.

Yes. I completely agree.

He is the Author and perfecter of our faith. That alone should be enough to make everyone a "Calvinist".

How people describe their experience and what they say regarding how people come to Christ can be remarkably different. Pelagians-Arminians are inconstant. They must be.

To be clear, (most) of these folks are unwittingly serving the purposes of Satan (as we all do when we chose sin over God's commands, BTW) Where these so called, "Progressives" differ is in their fixed and premeditated position to God's revealed will and law.

I've often made the same observation. Since these "progressives" have no central leadership, yet they do walk in lock-step, one obvious explanation is that Satan is giving the marching orders.

KJVO is a faith-based belief system which has no actual backing, except in the minds of its adherents.

"women preachers/pastors....biblical or not?" Not. God's decree and design both make that abundantly clear.

I was born into a Roman Catholic family, and then joined an Evangelical Free Church as a teenager, after the Lord graciously saved me, Spending 20 years there, there wan't much chance of me coming across a Calvinist, and although I was in the church every Wednesday, and twice on Sunday, not much...
