I’ve touched on this briefly before, but I think I’m articulating it much better, here. Romans 9:23 says God acted “to make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy.” Many claim this means God is revealing His glory to the vessels of mercy. But that’s not what it…

Reformed folk are going to have to do a lot better. Proof-texting, circular logic, historical name-dropping, and sheer assertion aren’t cutting it anymore. The internet has massively raised the bar. People are asking better questions, expecting better answers, and not settling…

Jesus did not share all the attributes of the Father. According to Philippians 2:6–7, He “emptied himself”. divinity, but by not grasping at His divine privileges. “Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead he…

We’ve long been told that forgiveness requires blood and that God can’t forgive without death. But that’s backwards. The blood isn’t about payment, but liberation. Many have been taught that “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Heb 9:22) means God can’t…

Jesus warned against attributing evil to the Holy Spirit. “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.” —Mark 3:29 (because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”) Jesus was healing and casting out demons by the…

New Calvinist Bible translation just dropped:

We are not like animals. Animals follow instinct. They don’t contemplate their choices. They don’t wrestle with right and wrong. They simply do what they were wired to do. But humans…we contemplate. We wonder why we act the way we do. We feel guilt, conviction, and longing.…

Calvinism is a problem because it tells people that their inability to change is their nature. If you don’t love Jesus, it’s not because you’re hurting or confused or need time, it’s because you were born unable to. Unless God handpicks you, you cannot come to Him. You can’t…

God isn’t after the performance, He’s after the relationship. Cain wasn’t rejected because he brought vegetables. God commanded grain offerings later in the Law. The problem wasn’t the gift, it was the giver’s heart. Abel brought the firstborn of his flock, and the fat portions…

Reformed theology says God made us unwilling to seek Him yet placed us where we are so that we would seek Him (Acts 17:26–27). Why? Supposedly so our rebellion looks “freely chosen,” making our condemnation just. But if God can condemn whomever He wants, why bother with the…

Reformed theology wants to sound logical, coherent, and intellectually serious. It prides itself on precision and on being the system that “just takes the Bible seriously.” But when you press it, when you follow its claims to their logical ends, it quickly starts to unravel.…

2025 had Calvinists saying the Quran is more believable than the Bible and Catholics saying Muslims worship the same God.

No idea why this post tanked so hard but basically no one saw it.

Show me Your glory,” Moses said. And God replied, “I will cause all my goodness to pass before you.” (Exodus 33:18–19) God’s glory isn’t just raw power or control. It’s His GOODNESS revealed. His mercy. His faithfulness. His justice. His love. Some theological systems sever…

Isaiah 63:8–10 dismantles Calvinism and Classical Theism. “Surely they are my people, children who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior. In all their suffering, He suffered…But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He became their enemy and fought against…

Christ knew all things had been placed in His hands. Power without limit. Authority without question. So He reached for a towel. He stooped. He touched dirt-caked feet with divine hands. Not despite His glory but to reveal it. THIS is God. He does not demand love because He…

So often modern church often doesn’t nourish the soul. (Before I continue, I’m NOT saying all of them or that none do any good or get anything right. And maybe it’s just me who feels this way…) But MANY churches seem to feel more like events than families. Jokes from the…

The Bible doesn’t say sin is our nature. It likens it to a beast on the prowl. In Genesis 4:7 God warns Cain: “Sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” Sin is pictured like a predator, not something Cain is, but something that is trying…
