FOR THE MASTER

<p>Since the start of the Israel-Iran conflict that began on June 13 as Israel launched a preemptive strike on dozens of sites in Iran including nuclear facilities, a heavy water nuclear reactor, top Iranian nuclear scientists, and top brass in the IRGC or Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; there has been nonstop discussion about the modern [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There is a Massive Inconsistency Problem among KJV Only Independent Fundamental Baptists (IFB). The IFB often prides itself on being separatists. They are separatists to the point that nothing is adiaphora. There don&#8217;t seem to be any secondary issues. There are no doctrines or issues where there isn&#8217;t a hard line of separation. In the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>1 John 2:2 (LSB): and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. An Arminian brother and friend made the statement on X back before Christmas that 1 John 2:2 is the single verse that destroys Limited Atonement single-handedly. I argue that [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Anti-Calvinists typically argue that &#8220;in him&#8221; in Ephesians 1:4 means that election is conditionally based on foreseen faith in Christ. This is what the poster in the image below was asserting. However, this is not the Calvinism killer that some would want to believe. Quite the contrary. The &#8220;in him&#8221; in no way invalidates the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In this fourth part of my “What is Calvinism” series, I want to address the doctrine of Limited Atonement or Particular Redemption. Some of you have asked why I didn’t begin with Total Depravity and then work my way through the TULIP acrostic. The short answer is, because I wanted to. I’m on only kidding. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Penal Substitutionary Atonement Defended As a Key to Understanding Calvinism and Limited Atonement &#8211; What is Calvinism Series In this third video in my series on Calvinism, I will discuss and defend the death of Christ as a penal substitutionary atonement. The premise is simple. The death of Christ is an atonement. The death of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Today I want to cover the importance of understanding different atonement theories and especially Penal Substitutionary Atonement as a prerequisite for comprehending the Calvinist&#8217;s understanding of Limited Atonement. In the last video in my Calvinism series, I said that most of the disagreement towards the Limited Atonement doctrine of Calvinism is rooted in differing views [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There are two issues that really seem to boil the blood of some believers today. They are both the proverbial third-rails of theological discussions. One is King James Version Onlyism. I am certainly no stranger to that debate. The other one has to be Calvinism. While I abandoned King James Onlyism relatively recently in my [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Thank you for your question. I am happy to address it. First, let’s look at the passages you asked about. Luke 12:47-48 (LSB) says, 47 “And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many beatings,48 but the one who did not [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Is man free or is man determined? This debate has raged for millennia. It is an existential question that does not begin with Calvin or Augustine. It was discussed by Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers like Leucippus, Democritus, and Heraclitus in the 5th Century BC, around the time of the Babylonian Captivity of the Jews. Stoics like [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Is God’s Foreknowledge only an attribute or is it also an action? Thomas Aquinas, Millard J. Erickson, Louis Berkhof, and Wayne Grudem all acknowledge Foreknowledge as a noun is an aspect of the broader aspect of God’s omniscience. God’s foreknowing is an action verb and the first cause of all things. πρόγνωσις (noun)prognōsis foreknowledge Lexical [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Where are the IFB when it comes to calling out one of their own? Let&#8217;s talk about one who needs to be marked and avoided. But it isn&#8217;t John MacArthur. Some fundamentalists have decided to accuse John MacArthur of heresy regarding the blood of Christ &#8212; again. This issue was put to bed decades ago, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)9&nbsp;The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. If we look at this verse outside of its context, then it may easily be used to teach either Universalism, Provisionism, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Let’s Talk about “Baal Gate” and the notion of “Non-Elect Infants”. And I want to warn you. This entire video needs a gigantic trigger warning. You almost need to sign a waiver before you watch it. This is such a sensitive issue and it would be insensitive of me to expect everyone to check their [&hellip;]</p>
