If we are either slaves to sin, or slaves to Christ, What is FREE-will?

Cory Howell commented on Cory Howell's blog post 'Predestination Unknown'

Thanks for the excellent references, John! I really appreciate it, as I am still trying to figure out this whole Calvinism vs. Arminianism debate. (I can tell you, I lean more and more toward Calvinism...)

John Roberts commented on Cory Howell's blog post 'Predestination Unknown'

"For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will no...

Predestination Unknown

This is a blog I wrote a couple weeks ago on my main blog at www.caspianrex.posterous.com. I'm still struggling through this issue... To some folks, this blog may sound like splitting hairs. To others, it's going to make sense. Still others may t...

Cory Howell replied to Jason's discussion 'Bible Study Sites for New Testament Studies'

I think BIblos.com is pretty handy for all Bible studies. They have lots of resources, and are easy to use. The Bible Study Tools on crosswalk.com and christianity.com (both are the same application) have some really good resources as well. And I ...

Cory Howell replied to Chad Gibbons's discussion 'The Five Gospels'

Yeah...Jesus Seminar. When I was younger, I thought "Wow, these guys are really on to something!" When I began to read with a more critical eye, I realized that, just as many others have said, their methodology is severely flawed. Basically, they ...

Cory Howell replied to Ryan's discussion 'What Moral Issues Can All Christians Agree On?'

Wow! The last time I saw so many sins in one place, I was at a frat party in college! (Just kidding...a little.) Seriously, though...looking at a list like this really makes you take a pause, and say to yourself, "We're not just talking about pec...

Cory Howell replied to Qohelet's discussion 'What are you reading?' in the group Book Discussion Group

I'm working on a few different theological books: Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem, A Mosaic of Christian Belief by Roger Olson, The Story of Christian Theology by Roger Olson, Christian Theology by Millard Erickson, and Christian Theology: an ...

Cory Howell replied to Ryan's discussion 'What Moral Issues Can All Christians Agree On?'

Well, Ryan, it's clear that you've got people thinking hard about this issue (even if not everyone can agree on the answer). And maybe that's a useful exercise in itself. Looking again at my own post, I can already see some things that I misstated...

Cory Howell replied to Ryan's discussion 'What Moral Issues Can All Christians Agree On?'

I would venture to say that, no, there are no moral issues that ALL Christians (or Christian groups) can agree on unanimously. For example, although I would agree that abortion is wrong, this is not really something the Bible is exceptionally cle...

Cory Howell replied to Cory Howell's discussion 'Divorce and the Christian' in the group Straight Talk

Oh, one more thing. Considering the nature of this site, I am sure we all have ideas about Scripture's position of divorce. Certainly, I don't think it's a bad idea to cite Scripture in our discussion of this issue. However, I think the simple po...

Divorce and the Christian

I posted some of my thoughts on the Comment Wall. But I thought it would be good to get a separate discussion going on the board here. If you are divorced and willing to share some of your struggles, I think there are many here who would like to ...

Tell us about yourself

I'm a father and church musician, interested in theology, languages, music, and literature.

How would you describe yourself theologically?

I've been moderate, with slightly liberal tendencies, for quite some time. I have the feeling I may be leaning a bit more to the right, though!

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)

Martin Luther

Predestination Unknown

This is a blog I wrote a couple weeks ago on my main blog at www.caspianrex.posterous.com. I'm still struggling through this issue...

To some folks, this blog may sound like splitting hairs. To others, it's going to make sense. Still others may think I'm absolutely misguided in one way or another, but here we go anyway.

Lately, in addition to being amazed at various examples of conservative wackiness, being amazed at libe… Continue

As if I don't have enough blogs already...

I think I am beginning to suffer from "overblogitis," i.e. the compulsion to begin a new blog on every social networking site on the Internet. I've got blogs on blogger.com, LiveJournal, Tumblr.com, Wordpress, and a couple others I'm probably forgetting. Lots of the time, I can't remember which blogs I've begun, and what kind of themes I've focused on with each one.

So here I am on Theologica, beginning a new blog. Why? Well, even though I've blogged some of my thoughts on theology on some of m… Continue
