Trump is a Republican. He is a not a Conservative Republican (by a long shot), but he is officially a Republican. You know that.

Hank has both feet firmly planted in midair on many maters, it seems.

Firstly, no one in his right mind would see being saved as a bad thing. No person has ever complained to a fireman about being carried out of a burning building, brought to a hospital and restored to full health. Secondly, no Calvinist believes anyone is saved against his will. We understand...

Amen. In order to comprehend what any text says, we must first have the skills to actually read the text.

They must sink to this depth in order to defend their errant views. The view that Jesus died to make salvation possible to all men (rather than the truth that Jesus saves His elect) forces them to explain how billions of people who have never even heard the name Jesus have a "fair" shot at...

Obama can't join.

In the recent discussion regarding the gospel and its proper proclamation, I began to think of how a distorted gospel "appeal" leads to a dysfunctional Church, and how the purity of the gospel message was something that the Reformers were passionate about. Today, many of the Reformed, whether...
