I’m not home yet, but regarding my earlier post, I remembered that Hodge’s Systematic theology is available online.
With apologies to David, I’m not seeing the quotation the way he does:
The final test of any theory is its agreeing or disagreeing with the facts to be explained. The difficulty with all the Anti-Augustinian views as to [...]

Charles Hodge:
All these facts can be accounted for on the assumption, that the great design of Christ’s death was to make the salvation of all men possible, and that it had equal reference to every member of our race.Systematic Theology, 2: 553.
[Lane brought up a possible problem with this quotation. I'm not at home [...]

As in about.  I don’t think he blogs yet.
But I just noticed that Matt Colvin has been doing a lot of good blogging on Ron Paul (Nov. 29 and previous). He pointed out these 35 questions about Iraq that Ron Paul wrote in 2002.

Does that explain it?
By the way, if that’s the guys picture, then how did he ever get a wife, let alone an additional girlfriend?  He looks creepier than Gollum.

In my series on The “free” (i.e. genuine) offer of the Gospel, I pointed out in this post Berkhof’s reply to a hypercalvinist that Berkhof believes that the justified, can, in this life, also be in some sense under God’s wrath.  I wrote,

31-8. Great caution ought to be exercised in receiving accusations from any person who is known to indulge a malignant spirit towards the accused; who is not of good character; who is himself under censure or process; who is deeply interested in any respect in the conviction of [...]

So here it is again. No one in Louisiana Presbytery has ever brought charges, and the way was open for them to do so. Steve has repeatedly implored anyone to bring charges if they believed that he was in violation of the PCA’s standards. No one has done so. This is not because the entire [...]

Doug nails it.
That leaves us with failure to indict. The SJC can find that in their judgment there was probable cause, and that charges should have been brought. So if that is what they find, what is the appropriate redress in a situation like that? Someone would have to bring charges. When those charges are [...]

This great post reminded me of the great Reformed theologian, Francis Turretin, who wrote:
Although the sacraments are external means and instruments applying (on the part of God) the promise of grace and justification, this does not hinder faith from being called the internal instrument and means on the part of man for receiving this benefit [...]

The Bible speaks of, about, and uses the term election many times. For example, Moses speaks for God in Deuteronomy 7:
For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on [...]

This is just fantastic.

Long long ago I wrote a tract for my website entitled, “Why baptize babies.” I actually started to blog the content at one point, but instead asked the good people at Athanasius Press if they wanted to publish it.
