Theology Discussion – Calvinism, Arminianism, Molinism

January 4th, 2015
Steve Ray Webb January 3, 2015 at 5:49am I have always rejected a rigid Calvinist approach to salvation because it conflicts with all the Scriptures that place emphasis on personal responsibility, both in preaching the Gospel and in receiving it. But similarly, I have always rejected a rigid Arminian approach to salvation because it limits or reduces God's omniscience. To give it a label, I guess this puts me in the Molinist camp of taking a position somewhere in the middle (described pretty well in the article below . . .

Q&A regarding divorce and public ministry

December 31st, 2014
Justin Tilghman Yesterday at 8:41am · Kinston, NC · Edited I have a question from a gentleman who is concerned that his divorce disqualifies him from returning the ministry. The divorce was ultimately due to HER infidelity, not his. He sought reconciliation with his wife but she is the one who ultimately refused reconciliation. My opinion is that this divorce does not disqualify him from the ministry for the following reasons 1) he was not the unfaithful party, 2) he sought to maintain the marriage with everything . . .

December 26th, 2014

What happened to couples who were legally married yet not living together yet, and found to be with child? I'm not sure where to go for this kind of cultural history...any . . .

December 26th, 2014
Jeff Laird December 25 at 5:48pm Living in the tension between joy and happiness. Blessed in family and life, but crushed and discouraged by the weight of a ministry calling that seems almost pointless right now. If God really wants me to fight a forest fire with a squirt gun, I'm game. But feeling called to defend the truth of the Gospel to a world that's veering so quickly towards hate, irrationality, and ignorance of that Gospel has me burnt to a crisp. Prayerfully looking at how to balance the need to breathe with . . .

Language Level and Questioner Profile

December 26th, 2014

The asker is either really poor with email, or weak in English. So should I work extra hard to make sure the language and grammar are as easy as possible, or not worry about it?
