    Does God have free will?

    Why do RC's answer in the 'Ask a Calvinist' forum? Have the rules changed since last I haunted these environs?

    Reformation Stance on Israel?

    Idolatry... worship of or ascribing spiritual power or import to anything, physical or conceptual, other than God. That particular geography HAS been conquered over and over again, most recently by another group of Christ-rejecting unbelievers. It will be conquered again at least one last time...

    Faith Precedes Regeneration #6

    Still breathin'. Lord has sent some difficult days, but as you know has remained faithful to His promises. Still waitin' myself. Glad to see you're preachin' the truth, bro. I mean, if a man's gonna be preachy, might as well be right, right?

    Yes, the dude abides. Been some few years, Rick. How's tricks out on the flatlands?

    Don Carson is scary

    I think you meant 'disturbing eyes'.

    What Kind of Evangelical Are You?

    Only error is that I've never been a Baptist- You Scored as Evangelical Presbyterian You're an Evangelical Presbyterian, probably a member of a PCA church. Sound theology and reverent worship are important to you, but so are outreach and ministry to the community. You are likely to be from...

    Murrow interviews Mark Driscoll

    Can't argue with his take on the effemanency of the pulpit in the Church. I read an article once that stated that after the industrial revolution that produced so many labor-saving devices for the American housewife, freeing up an inordinate amount of time for women, that most churches began to...

    New guy... don't know if this is correct forum.

    Praying that the Lord would restore to you the joy of His salvation. I've been where you are, brother. The flesh will tell you that re-establishing fellowship with the saints will be miserable and difficult. It's a lie. It will be a great joy. Your Shepherd will never let you go, so you may as...

    It's time to ask, but who?

    It's time to ask, but who?

    "Dubito ergo sum." Descarte's famous line, often misquoted "I think, therefore I am" actually means "I doubt, therefore I am". His principle was that to arrive at truth one must doubt everything until it was no longer doubtable (indubitable) by one's own faculties of reason by overwhelming...

    Daily prayer question

    Proscribe: To forbid or prohibit; To denounce; To banish or exclude Maybe you meant prescribe? Prescribe: set down as a rule or guide If the latter, then no, I know of no ecclesiastically ordered requirement of frequency or content of prayer outside of the service of worship among Reformed...

    Daily prayer question

    I personally have no idea what the daily office is. Could you explain?

    KJV Only People?

    If you feel safer reading a KJV, then by all means do so. You could also pick up a comparitive with as many as 4 versions printed side-by-side so you can compare. But the main thing is to read God's Word. He is able to ensure you will get the proper meaning from whichever version you read, and...

    Can I Post Here w/o That Symbol?

    The Presbyterian symbol is that of the PCUSA, which I want nothing to do with. Is it acceptable to post in the Presby forum without it? Will the Calvinist marker do? I'm PCA.

    2010 Auburn Ave. Conference

    Kenith, What you are presenting as the FV view is an orthodox view of the covenant, but that is NOT what they are presenting. Yes, baptised members are members of the visible, outward covenant, and the confessions agree with that. But "not all Israel are of Israel. The FV position delineated...

    2010 Auburn Ave. Conference

    I don't know how you can 'talk past' these quotes. They are a brick wall of heresy. FV is a backdoor re-insertion of pelagian soteriology into the Church.

    2010 Auburn Ave. Conference

    This is the epicenter of the Federal Vision heresy, NRB. Not so cool. Note that it is no longer a PCA congregation. There is a very good reason for that.

    Any Hyper-Calvinists here?

    Ron, I don't think that was aimed at you, but even if it was, that's only one voice. I'm not sure what rules we're talking about, but I personally can't imagine why you wouldn't belong here. This is where all us cantankerous calvinists and moribund monergists are supposed to hangout.

    Challenge to calvinist.

    Because our God has commanded that we do so, and because that is where we behold Him, whom we adore, in the preaching of His Word and the sacraments. Salvation is not found in wine or bread, nor is life, but in Christ alone. And it is Christ that we find in those sacraments, and proclaim His...
