If Calvinism's doctrine of Total Depravity is true, then why aren't we all murderers? I'm sure you've heard this objection before, and I'm sure you've heard Calvinist apologists respond to it by saying something like "TD doesn't mean we're all as evil as we possibly can be." Unfortunately yeah it does. As Question #8 of … Continue reading If Calvinism’s doctrine of Total Depravity is true, then why aren’t we all murderers?

Undermining the Theonomist Syllogism
It seems to me that the Theonomist argument can be boiled down to the following Syllogism: P1) God does not change. P2) If the Law has been abrogated, then God has changed. C) The Law has not been abrogated. The Reformed Libertarian objection is with P2. This is not necessarily true. If the purpose for … Continue reading Undermining the Theonomist Syllogism
Genesis 1:26-28
I have written much on this blog and have expounded on many topics and in many ways. My usual mode is to respond to objections to Libertarianism I come across online or in discussions with people. This can be good, but I think what is better is to look to the Scriptures. The Word of … Continue reading Genesis 1:26-28

Legislate Morality?
I read these comments from Al Mohler on Facebook: "The argument for removing polygamy laws was simple: the state has no business legislating morality. But every legislature legislates morality. Every code of laws is a codex of morality. The law is itself inherently and inescapably moral, even irreducibly moral. The law can’t be anything other … Continue reading Legislate Morality?
Systematic Theology vs Biblical Theology – Cage Match!

Ancient tuning systems would focus on making certain of the intervals as in-tune as possible, stashing the dissonance into lesser used portions of the scale. … Continue reading Systematic Theology vs Biblical Theology – Cage Match!
