This subject has been one of great controversy during recent years, and it is not surprising, since it has a very definite bearing on the Christological problem. It is impossible to do more than indicate the proper line of approach, leaving the thorough discussion to special works on the subject.
1. The first thing to do [...]

For, although they knew God, the did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and [...]
Chesterton on Marriage and Christianity

The Doctrine of Scripture
Posted in Doctrine of Scripture, John M. Frame, Robert L. Reymond, Systematic Theology on June 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A word must be said about the willingness of the Confession to include within the “whole counsel of God” truths that “by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture.” Some Christians have urged that logical deduction adds to Scripture and, therefore, must be resisted. This is wrong. Validly deduced truths add nothing to [...]
The Ten Commandments in the New Testament

Job’s Plight

Job’s complaint ended in the former chapter. In this, a hot dispute begins. Job, having cursed his day, is now chid himself. And he had such a chiding, as was, indeed, a wounding, such as almost at every word drew blood, and was not only a rod upon his back but a sword at his [...]
The Deity of Christ
Posted in B. B. Warfield, Deity of Christ on June 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A recent writer has remarked that our assured conviction of the deity of Christ rests not upon “proof-texts or passages, nor upon old arguments drawn from these, but upon the general fact of the whole manifestation of Jesus Christ and of the whole impression left by Him upon the world.” The antithesis is too absolute [...]

For this reason, we also, since the day we heard of it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good [...]
The Place of Feelings
Posted in John Gwyn-Thomas on June 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It is very important to remember that one of the great purposes of God in the new birth and sanctification is to restore our feelings to their proper place in our lives, so that they are governed by the will of God and not by whims or emotions which overtake us in so many different [...]
