Never mind, Alex. Jesus never needs us to draw our swords and chop off ears in His defense. Theyāre grasping at straws to hold onto their cherished doctrines. Let them show their colors: God hates the sinner, endless misery is necessary for happiness, etc.
But God demonstrates His love for us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be like your Father in Heaven.
Amen and Amen! Praise be to the One who loves and forgives His enemies and calls us to do the same!
Sonia
Thanks Sonia. God is full time too
Stay cool Alex, remember āLove Winsā, as somebody once wrote
BTW that Don Carson quote is not something he has just said or written - it comes from a paper DC wrote way back in 1999.
I must be cool as my avatar has sunglasses
Yeah, I was quoting Justinās quote of Carson, I edit it to make that clearer.
Also edited title, as it sounded more harsh than I intended
I have posted a comment on the latest post, entitled ā8 Symptoms of False Doctrineā. I wonder whose false doctrine JT could be referring to and how happy Bishop Ryle would be to be hijacked for this purpose?
Iām also in the thread āThe complex of Godās emotionsā which is being conducted in a more or less decent manner so far.
Actually, I think Justin is an editor at a publishing house somewhere, or something like that. (I remember seeing it, but I donāt recall what exactly. He may or may not be a paid blogger, but that isnāt his job.)
This is strange, since I called myself checking TGCās blog to see if there were followups. I must not have done it right.
Thanks for the updates!
Who listens to him who doesnāt already agree with him?
Heās not dedicating a 1/4 of the energy he invested into silencing open theism. Itāll pass.
After the ETS dedicates an annual conference or two to ādealā with UR (and THATāS when the heat will really turn up) the way they dealt with open theism, the number of conversative universalists will skyrocket.
Tom
Hi Tom, Forgive my ignorance but what does ETS stand for? Here in Spain it is the abbreviation for sexually transmitted diseases so Iām guessing thereās a different meaning.
And what do you mean by a conversative universalist?
Talk about missing it cross culturally! Ha. Sorry.
Jason got it. Itās the Evangelical Theological Society here in America.
By āconservative universalistā I mean something like āevangelical universalist.ā Piper and Taylor and Carson donāt care about theological āliberalsā who teach heresy. The liberals are already written off as far as theyāre concerned (when it comes to defining the ture, i.e. evangelical, faith).
I once visit Malaga. Loved it. I have friends in Barcelona too who keep inviting us to visit.
Tom
Thanks for clarification - you had a typo making it conVersative - I thought this may mean somebody capable of holding a conversation or something
If you do make it to Barcelona Iād love to meet up for a beer.
Isnāt that BarTHelona?
I donāt drink beer, Iām conVersative. ā¦OK, that was dumb.
Weāll toast to Justin Taylor!
Tom
Excellent!
