The Bayou Thebaid: Running Theses on Penal Substitution
http://realdialektik.blogspot.com/p/running-theses-on-penal-substitution.html
A Protestant reads the desert fathers. Running Theses on Penal Substitution. God is wrathful towards sinners with respect to the relationship. Thus, when Christ propitiates God's wrath, he is not changing the essence or disposition of God. Sin creates a breach in the relation to the Lord, a relation that makes a covering necessary, as Murray says. (See John Murray, Redemption Accomplished and Applied. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Bayou Thebaid: My summary of Near Death Experiences
http://realdialektik.blogspot.com/2015/08/my-summary-of-near-death-experiences.html
A Protestant reads the desert fathers. Monday, August 3, 2015. My summary of Near Death Experiences. I debated this on Puritanboard. The only good thing that came out of it is I got to sharpen my own thoughts. I don't really see any future in Reformed apologetics. You say you weren't impressed with my arguments, but my premises were all drawn from the Christian tradition, the negation of which would be heresy. I'll restate it. P5: (4) helps us understand the soul's mode of existence after death. Eith...

The Bayou Thebaid: May 2015
http://realdialektik.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A Protestant reads the desert fathers. Sunday, May 31, 2015. It's called "Buyer's Remorse.". The PEW studies should be taken with a grain of salt. I realize that. But, even if facts do require interpretation and are never neutral, they are still facts at the end of the day and can't be dismissed, either. I realize the situation is equally grim for Protestants, too, but even then it means something like:. With that said, however, low-church traditions will continue to thrive for the simple reason that the...

The Bayou Thebaid: On not ossifying the fathers
http://realdialektik.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-not-ossifying-fathers.html
A Protestant reads the desert fathers. Saturday, August 1, 2015. On not ossifying the fathers. I am trying to take a more positive, constructive role in theology. This post is akin to an autobiographical manifesto. Part of it is how I came to the church fathers and ultimately my critical-appreciation of them, and the other part is how to use the Fathers to kill souls. This was late 2006, early 2007. Before continuing on the RO line, I should probably address a common criticism: Did RO read Reformation me...

The Bayou Thebaid: Theses on Monarchy
http://realdialektik.blogspot.com/p/theses-on-monarchy.html
A Protestant reads the desert fathers. My collected notes on why I think monarchy is less problematic than oligarchic republicanism (which, ultimately, are the only two options for government). We can say these are running theses in no particular order:. 1] P rima facie appeals to 1 Samuel 8 as a universal condemnation of monarchy are illegitimate. 2] Yahweh specifically told Samuel the Israelites were rejecting Yahweh. My question:. The same social form seen in 1 Samuel 8. 4] Per Leithart,. 6] Augustine...

A Protestant reads the desert fathers. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Pouring Holy Water on Strange Fire (Review). Viola, Frank. Pouring Holy Water on Strange Fire. Key points (and rebuttals that obtain). True, Charismatics sometimes put the Holy Spirit on the throne, but do not Reformed have their own pet doctrines (covenant theology, amillennialism, “THE” Christian view of apologetics, etc; Viola 13). Macarthur does cherry pick from the church fathers. (I noticed this when I read. Did the Gifts Cease? Viola ...
