This reminds me of the "1 in 5 female college students are raped" lie.

Imagine believing this

The blog narrations are coming.....

I just finished reading "Against All Opposition" by Greg Bahnsen, an excellent introduction to the basics of presuppositional apologetics. I have the ebook, which you're free to borrow if you'd like. Or if you're a hard copy kind of guy, you can get it here: https://store.americanvision.org/collections/books/products/against-all-opposition-defending-the-christian-worldview

John Owen's argument for definite atonement: Christ either died for...

Some sins of some men, 2. Some sins of all men, 3. All sins of some men, or 4. All sins of all men.
But if Christ died only for some sins, then no one would be saved and we know some are saved; thus 1 & 2 can be ruled out. And if Christ died for all sins of all men, then no one would be condemned, but we know some are condemned; therefore, we can rule out 4 and are left with 3: Christ died for all the sins of some men.

And if one should object: "Christ did die for all the sins of all men, but his death must be accepted by faith, and lack of faith refuses the gift," we reply, "But is this sin of refusing Christ paid for? If so, we are back at option 4, which we know is untrue. And if not, then we are back at option 2, which we also know is untrue. Hence, it is certain that Jesus died for all the sins of some men."

There are a number of common arguments Roman Catholics use in order to defend the papacy. We look at seven here, and attempt to deal with them as fairly as possible. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/romes-defense-of-the-papacy

"Thinking has become so emotional and so politically biased on the
subject of wages that in most discussions of them the plainest principles are ignored. People who would be among the first to point out that minimum price laws might be most harmful to the very industries they were designed to help, will nevertheless advocate minimum wage laws, and denounce opponents of them, without misgivings." - Henry Hazlitt, "Economics in One Lesson," 1946.

Reformed theologians, however... feel that it is absolutely wrong to follow what a certain writer calls "the cafeteria style" of using the Bible, selecting only what satisfies one's taste and ignoring all the rest. The dogmatician should always study Scripture according to the analogia Scriptura. - Louis Berkhof

Louis Berkhof recognized the feminization of American Christianity in 1932: "Many regard religion purely as a matter of emotional enjoyment, good enough for women, but hardly fit for men. According to them it is something apart from the life of man in general. It really means little or nothing for the serious business of life. It has no controlling influence on the thoughts of man, neither does it determine his action in any way. One can be a Christian with his heart (feeling), and a heathen with his head. He can say, "Lord, Lord" in private or public worship, and at the same time refuse to do the Lord's bidding in daily life. This is not only an unnoscriptural, but also an unpsychological view of religion, and one that has done a great deal of harm to the cause of God in the past."

The doctrinal heart (what theologians call "the material cause") of the Catholic/Protestant divide is over justification. However, many people on both sides don't fully understand the opposite side. Hence, I'm attempting to rectify that in this article. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/justification-reformed-view-vs-roman

Liberalism and skepticism are simply intellectual disguises for unbelief and excuses for sin.
"Be very sure of this, -- people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well; they understand that it condemns their own behaviour; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment. They try to believe it is false and useless, because they do not like to allow it is true. 'A bad life,' said the celebrated Lord Rochester, laying his hand on the Bible, 'a bad life is the only grand objection to this book.' 'Men question the truth of Christianity,' says South, 'because they hate the practice of it.'" - J. C. Ryle

This marks a turning point in American history. Despite how politicized the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases were, the jury made the right decision. Now, if you're white in America, you can bank on a court finding against you, no matter the evidence.

My co-blogger has had tons of experience debating/discussing with Mormons. He wrote this week's article on some verses he finds useful in talking with Mormons about the Gospel. https://protestantpost.substack.com/p/how-mormonism-denies-the-gospel

There is no true knowledge apart from Christ, the arche.

"Every line of true knowledge must find its completeness in its convergency to God, even as every beam of daylight leads the eye to the sun." - R. L. Dabney
