• Why I am not a Christian

  
  themattscott — Authority: 92
  I bought Bertrand Russe l’s “ Why I Am Not a Christian ” today. I had gone in looking for some Kierkegaard and a book of logic puzzles (they’re calming for me), I think I shocked myself with the selection I walked out with. (I did get the logic puzzle book though) Why would I pick up “Why I Am Not a ...

• A (Sort of) Ontological Argument for Universalism

  
  The Prosblogion — Authority: 524
  I find something like the following argument for Soteriological Universalism quite compelling, but while the argument is often implied by things that Universalists say, it is nevertheless seldom explicitly stated (in fact if anyone knows of an instance of an argument like this one being explicitly stated, I would be ...

• Gary Anderson :: Genesis of Perfection (Review)

  
  a few words — Authority: 112
  The Paradise narrative of Genesis 2-4 haunts its readers with a host of lacunae that call for return after return to the text in order to venture out on various explanatory bridges. The story of Adam and Eve proceeds at a breathless pace, offering bare details of dialogue and action without developing a full and ...

  The Fire and the Rose — Authority: 106
  I have a new article in the latest issue of the Journal of Reformed Theology . The essay is titled, “Jesus and Faith: The Doctrine of Faith in Scripture and the Reformed Confessions.” I begin by looking at the Catholic-Protestant conflict over the nature of faith. I then summarize the New Testament witness to ...

• Sure Things Only Because

  
  Rebecca Writes — Authority: 128
  There was a time in my life when everything was building. Gaining, we were—more children, bigger home, further education, better life. There was hope—maybe not for big things—but for good things. But before we ever got there, the tide turned. The gaining stopped and the losing began: illness and death and ...

• Can Religious Notions be Naturalized?

  
  Maverick Philosopher — Authority: 573
  I continue to mull over Jim Ryans naturalization project with respect to salvation. It seems to me that salvation is but one of several religious objects that resist naturalist reduction. God and sin are two others. But if God, sin, and salvation cannot be reduced to anything natural, they can be eliminated. ...

• Understanding essential to faith

  
  Daniel's Place - (Reformata et semper reformanda) — Authority: 115
  Q. 72. What is justifying faith?A. Justifying faith is a saving grace, (Heb. 10:39) wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit (2 Cor. 4:13, Eph. 1:17-19) and Word of God, (Rom. 10:14-17) whereby he, being convinced of his sin and misery, and of the disability in himself and all other creatures to recover him out ...

  “To run and work the law commands,Yet gives me neither feet nor hands;But better news the gospel brings:It bids me fly and gives me wings.”- Attributed to John Bunyan, quoted by Jason C.

• Jim Ryan on Salvation

  
  Maverick Philosopher — Authority: 573
  Yesterday , I posted some thoughts about salvation, and in order to test and refine them, I will confront them with some rather different thoughts of Jim Ryan on the topic. See his Salvation I and Salvation II . Since Ryan is a naturalist, it is quite natural that what he should offer us is salvation ...

• The Only Antidote To Sin Is The Gospel

  
  The Cruciform Life Blog — Authority: 117
  Contrary to what many Christian’s have concluded, the gospel doesn’t just ignite the Christian life; it’s the fuel that keeps Christians going every day and in every way. Once God rescues sinners, his plan isn’t to steer them beyond the gospel but to move them more deeply into it. After all, the only antidote ...

• Three Concepts of Salvation: Physical, Mystical, Religious

  
  Maverick Philosopher — Authority: 573
  Salvation is a religious concept, and every religion includes a doctrine of salvation, a soteriology. Or can you think of a religion that does not? It is not essential to a religion that it be theistic, as witness the austere forms of Buddhism, but it is essential to every religion as I define the term that it have a ...

• D. A. Carson on The Gospel-Centered Life

  
  The Cruciform Life Blog — Authority: 117
  “Some think of the gospel as so slender it does nothing more than get us into the kingdom. After that the real work of transformation begins. But a biblically-faithful understanding of the gospel shows that gospel to be rich, powerful, the wisdom of God and the power of God, all we need in Christ. It [...]

• No Sacrifice Too Great!

  
  BRYANLOPEZ.COM — Authority: 421
  We don’t want to encourage violence, marginalize the gospel, or promote individualistic passivity. But I haven’t seen sinners who are gripped by Christ’s substitutionary death respond that way. Instead, I’ve more often observed responses like C.T. Studd’s famous statement: “If Jesus Christ be God, and died ...

• Mystery & Atonement

  
  A Thinker's Progress — Authority: 116
  I’ve been thinking the last day or two about the synergism-monergism debate within more conservative american protestant thought, spurred on by McLaren’s recent book on spiritual formation.  So, here are some off-the-wall reflections: Here is how I often hear/read the debate being framed: synergists insist ...

• Jesus and justification

  
  Peter J. Leithart — Authority: 522
  Jesus doesn’t talk much about justification, and when He does He doesn’t sound very Pauline (Matthew 12:37).  The publican is justified – apparently not by his faith but by his humility (Luke 18:14).  So, Jesus doesn’t teach justification by faith? Wrong. “Yahweh has taken away judgments against you, He ...
