Reader Requests?

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.
Thanks, again, for all your great work! And thanks for asking your audience what we would be interested in.
ReplyDeleteI would very much love to see more posts on Justification. I can't get enough study of that doctrine. In light of current ecumenical trends (ECT, JDJ etc.) I find it helpful to refresh myself on the fact that the reformation mattered with respect to this vital doctrine. As a side note, I'm not quite sure how modern Catholics can (I believe some try) say they agree with Protestants on this doctrine. It was written (I think by R.C. Sproul, my paraphrase) "by anathemitizing the reformers, they anathemitized themselves." It seems that the current trend is to blur the lines on this important truth. I mention to my Catholic friends that if the Catholic church anathematized the reformers with respect to this truth then it cannot be reversed, and we must still be at odds (unless of course the Catholic church changes, protestants change, or both change).
Anyway, I just love that doctrine and try to learn whatever I can about it so I can better witness to Catholics that I know. Anything additional you're able to post on this doctrine would be most helpful and edifying.
I refer to Turretin's material on this quite often. It's great stuff!
Thanks, again! The clarity you bring is very appreciated!

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you can address the issue of baptism from a Reformed perspective? Maybe interact a bit with John Piper's recent series on Baptism and Church membership at Desiringgod.com
Thanks,

Have you ever heard of Psalm 151? I did, in an appendix to On the Incarnation by Athanasius published by St. Vlad's Press. It says Ps. 151 is in the Septuagint.

Spiritual warfare.
ReplyDeleteActive, progressive sanctification.
Subjects the older theologians talk about, but the modern ones neglect or don't even recognize like watchfulness (I'm thinking of a Brakel having a separate chapter on that in his great work the Christian's Reasonable Service).
