Prefatory Note: This thread is not about election, even if my OP will mention election. This thread is about God's relationship to time, though I understand how threads go and you won't hear me complain if this one wanders here and there. This thread is also for those who are tired of the...

Proverbs 16:4 This is the truth of the Scripture for all to see and there is no denying it. But, what does this mean? For the Calvinist, this is a clear and concise declaration of the Doctrine of Reprobation. What does it mean that the LORD God made the wicked for the day of evil? What is it...

To illustrate you will need to refer to the Genesis 1 account. Assume for the sake of the argument that an evening and morning consist of a single 24 hour period of time. Now, let's say that I bring a fully grown Adam to you on day 8 and ask you how old he is. What would your answer be...

I wish to present to you another sermon by that great prince of Baptist Pastors, C.H. Spurgeon. This is a sermon from a recent Bible study passage in the Reformed Room Bible study thread, found here. Ephesians is often a letter to which we look for the wisdom of God's wonder and grace in...

The below is the introduction to a sermon by the Baptist Prince of pastors and was a recent verse from my own Bible devotions (thread found here). And, though Spurgeon sometimes uses some strong language directed at certain denominations of the Christian faith, this thread is not posted with the...

Intellectual engagement in an age of cotton candy churches.

Article found here!!! "You can go to Redeemer and you can not be a Christian and listen to that sermon and be completely engaged." While the article does not tend to focus on this one issue, I find it fascinating and encouraging that some people still believe that you can build churches...

GOD JUSTIFIED, THOUGH MAN BELIEVES NOT NO. 2255 INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, MAY 8TH, 1892, DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON, ON LORD’S-DAY EVENING, AUGUST 31ST, 1890. For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God...

Ok, so you know, after wandering in an Arminian sea my whole life, I have finally done the unthinkable: I joined a Calvinist denomination, the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America). You will be happy to know that we are now one of "those" people. You see, while my wife was out marketing last...

We Calvinists are told that it is God's expressed wish, will, and desire that not a single member of the human race should perish. People typically use verses like 1 Timothy 1-4 to maintain that this view is Scriptural. Well, if that is true, then why do I find these kinds of verses in my...

We have the truth. We believe that the Lord has left for himself a faithful witness to the truth of the Scriptures. We are Calvinists and we are not ashamed of this. Yet, of whom must is given, much is required. We are not to be Calvinists in word only, but in deed as well.Mat 25:16 GB (16)...

An election of Grace. Romans 11:4-8 GB (4) But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved unto myself seven thousand men, which have not bowed the knee to Baal. (5) Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace. (6) And if it be of...

A few days ago, while faithfully plodding along with my daily devotion to study/ read the Bible every year, I came across this little verse which seemed to me to be of no real import the the titanic struggle we Reformed have against those who reject the gospel truths regarding Election. However...

Here is a question, which arises from the Bible studies I host. BTW, any Christian here who does not have a good Bible study and wishes to read the Bible with me is welcome. Simply send me a PM and I'll give you the details and where you can find the material online. Is this true: "We must...

Chris Yokel August 11, 2004 Last-days schizophrenia I have been fascinated by two seemingly separate trends in American Christianity in recent years. On the one hand, evangelicals have almost whole-heartedly embraced the LB craze—that’s Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' Left Behind...
