- How would you describe yourself theologically?
Young, Restless and Reformed
Confessional Statement
I am a reformed christian holding a calvinist view of soteriology, compatibilist view of freedom of the will and complimentarian view of humanity and undecided with eschatology. I belief the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever and that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. I believe that God is most passionate about Himself, His fame, His glory and promotion and for that I am very grateful.
Together for the Gospel
1. Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
2. Sola fide ("by faith alone")
3. Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
4. Solus Christus ("Christ alone")
5. Soli Deo gloria ("glory to God alone")
"Unless I am convinced by the testimony from scripture or by evident reason—for I confide neither in the Pope nor in a Council alone, since it is certain they have often erred and contradicted themselves—I am held fast by the scriptures adduced by me, and my conscience is held captive by God’s Word, and I neither can nor will revoke anything, seeing it is not safe or right to act against conscience. God help me. Amen.“
–Martin Luther
credo ut intelligam
“I believe in order to understand”
This is a Latin phrase first put forth by Augustine, then popularized by Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109). Augustine’s full statement was “I don’t understand so that I might believe, but I believe so that I might understand.” This idea gives emphasis to the priority and necessity of belief in the Christian’s intellectual pursuits. One cannot truly and fully understand spiritual matters unless he or she first believes them to be true.
fides quaerens intellectum
“Faith seeking understanding”
This is a Latin phrase coined by Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) meaning “faith seeking understanding.” This is one of the earliest definitions of theology. It starts with the assumption that we are believers and, as such, we are seeking to understand our beliefs better.
- Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)
Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 – March 22, 1758) was a colonial American Congregational preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans. Edwards "is widely acknowledged to be America's most important and original philosophical theologian". He is known as one of the greatest and most profound of American theologians and revivalists. His work is very broad in scope, but he is often associated with his defense of Calvinist theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. His famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," emphasized the just wrath of God against sin and contrasted it with the provision of God for salvation; the intensity of his preaching sometimes resulted in members of the audience fainting, swooning, and other more obtrusive reactions. The swooning and other behaviors in his audience caught him up in a controversy over "bodily effects" of the Holy Spirit's presence.

Arthur Thompson said… - Thank you for adding me to your friends list. I want to thank you for introducing me to Mark Driscoll. He makes a lot of sense regarding the Emerging Church, which I view in askance and the Emergent Church which I view with disdain.
I jumped into your conversation with Stan on his page Re this site and “this foolishness that happens here.” I hope you don’t mind. I don’t want to rehash it here but to say that the attitudes expressed here are ‘typical’ of most forums.
I think that this site now has over 800 members quite a feat for a new site. Like most forums people come for different reasons and with different POV’s, most are just searching. If you look at the number of people posting versus the number of members you can see that there are a whole bunch of folks ‘lurking’ out there. They are reading these forums because they are interested and are looking to learn something. They are not posting for any number of reasons not the least of which is probably a feeling of not wanting to make an A$$ of themselves; which makes them a whole lot smarter than I.
I guess my point is that there are a lot of folks out there that are being edified by the prose of folks like you, Stan, Raquel, Char and many others and are able to separate the wheat from the chaff. Because of this God is Glorified and I pray that you guys will hang in there with us.
