Against Irrationalism
“It is strange that anyone who thinks he is a Christian should deprecate logic. Such a person does not of course intend to deprecate the mind of God; but he thinks that logic in man is sinful, even more sinful than other parts of man’s fallen nature. This however, makes no sense. The law of contradiction cannot be sinful. Quite on the contrary, it is our violations of the law of...

EDITORIAL: Destroy all churches →
“If the pope called for the destruction of all the mosques in Europe, the uproar would be cataclysmic… But when the most influential leader in the Muslim world issues a fatwa to destroy Christian churches, the silence is deafening.”

Gary North on Premillennialism
“They [premillennialists] are therefore implicitly that Satan has a major advantage over God in history despite resurrection and God’s sending of the Holy Spirit: when his God-hating representatives are faithful to him [Satan] in history, they win; When God’s representatives are faithful to him in history, they lose. This is a very strange view of the historical power of...

Gordon Clark on the "Problem of Evil"
God is neither responsible nor sinful, even though he is the only ultimate cause of everything. He is not sinful because in the first place whatever God does is just and right. It is just and right simply in virtue of the fact that he does it. Justice or righteousness is not a standard external to God to which God is obligated to submit. Righteousness is what God does. Since God caused Judas to...

Calvinism, some prooftexts
haereticum:
This is a list of verses and passages relating to my study of Calvinism, for any of my Christian followers interested. If any of you have any extra verses to add on, please feel free (:
Calvinism is summed up in five points, an acronym called TULIP, and I’ll post verses relating to each point underneath them. Some verses are repeated, as they relate to multiple points.

Faith vs. Faith – Fighting on Level Ground →
“In both secular and Christian publications, one often hears such phrases as “faith-based organizations,” “peoples of faith,” and “the religious and irreligious.” The implication of these designations for Christians, however, is to admit defeat before ever engaging in battle. Throughout history there has been an antithesis between faith and reason. If one group is...

Martyn Lloyd-Jones on physical manifestations
classyliving:
“The Holy Spirit affects the whole person. Man is body, soul, and spirit, and we cannot divide these. Man reacts as a whole. It is folly to expect that he can react in the realm of the spiritual without anything at all happening to the rest of him, to the soul, and to the body. These phenomena are indications of the fact that a very powerful stimulus is in operation, that the...
