I just received a comment on my last post that was offering critique of my apparently oft grammatical inconsistencies in many of my posts (that thread has now vanished). What my interlocutor intended on saying, really, was that I use jargon and theological turns of phrases that he doesn’t understand. Thus, his conclusion was that […]
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. -Deuteronomy 29:29 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. -John 1:18 For I would have […]
Here’s another proposal I once wrote in the past as I was considering doing the PhD back in the day. Thomas F. Torrance’s Evangelical Calvinism: A Historical and Constructive Theological Proposal The Problem: Thomas F. Torrance’s Reformed theology has been challenged in regard to its genuinely Reformed provenance by Richard Muller. Muller claims […]
The following is a book proposal I’ve been thinking about since March 2022. I’m still thinking about it. Bobby Grow […]
A post I wrote in 2010 for another blog. I am afraid “Evangelicals” have come to expect something when they read systematic theology, and that is that there will be a nice and neat presentation of pre-digested, pre-codified truths and theorems about God and such.

18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He warned […]
The Eunomians, following the Arians (and Arius) maintained that there was a time when the Son was not. In other words, they maintained that the Logos of God was a creature; an exalted creature, but a creature nonetheless. So, when we see Jesus, we don’t actually see the Father in the face of the Son, […]
I was just re-reading the following post which I originally posted on September 13, 2021. I was looking for a post that got into the role that natural theology and no-natural theology plays in regard to Christian praxis vis-à-vis the state. This particular post has to do with BigMedicine, and what I call, along with Agamben, a […]
The Gospel is Light in the Light of the Holy Trinity. The Gospel is the center of the way of the Triune insofar that the eternal Logos, the Son of God in coinherence with the Father and the Holy Spirit, freely chose to be human. This choice signals that God has freely chosen to not […]
I just came across a Tweet from some random person that stated (my paraphrase): “I no longer believe in an eternal unending hell.” He said: “I understand why some still do, but why do so many who do act is if they are excited about it; as if it’s a sign that they were right, […]
