Today, I stubled across this article (link).
If you have in interest in the ongoing atonement debate, you should compare that article with the post I presented (here).
He makes a couple of additional points that I do not (specifically regarding soter being anarthous in the verse in question, and the historical Greek usage of the term soter), but my reading is that he is mostly in agreement with what I wrote (though, of course, since he wrote first, we should say it the other way 'round).

P.S. Seth: you do not have to respond to Dr. Baugh's paper, of course, as I'm not including this comparison as part of the debate. It's just interesting to note the similarities between the my post and the paper.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Well TF, just because I am weak, I want to set the record straight that my comments at the debate blog where you link the readers here, were written first before I came back here and clicked on the plain sense article by Baugh!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's shaping up to being a wit of pride and reason in my judgment.
Whose going to win?: you or Seth and company!
There is a bit of clarity in the air though seeing the confusion of the flesh is waning in light of some sound debate and clarity of Spirit coming through the spirits of men in the debate now!
I was reading on Arminian doctrine and the decision at the council of dordt against Arminius. Those Romstrants following, [spelling?], zealots true, but so are you!

Dear Michael,
ReplyDeleteYou too noticed the "and company" eh?
I posted your comment since you seemed to want to set the record straight.
I'm not too concerned whether I win or lose. I want the truth to win. I'm confident that the position I'm advocating is the truth, but if it turns out that Scripture says something else, I'll delightedly reform my position to match Scripture.

Yes and Amen and oh, my Faith is: TRUTH WINS and TRUTH IS MY ANCHOR, GONE ON BEFORE AND HOLDING ME ON COURSE TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER!
ReplyDeleteMy only prayer is that Seth would be so nimble as thee!
