Hey Guys, This is a website that Kerrigan and I are working on which will be a massive theological library with tons of audios, videos, articles, and books. It's designed to sort of counteract many of the errors of Calvinism which are spreading today like a plague, and promote the sound doctrines of the Bible. www.libraryoftheology.comBe sure to keep checking this site for updates, many articles will be added this month.

How 'come it has pictures of Calvin -- as if his writings will be shown -- but no articles by him? ;-)
Impressive list of articles all the same. Looks like you're going for Monergism.com's countertype. Why didn't you call it Synergism.com? ;-)

Looks like you're going for Monergism.com's countertype. Why didn't you call it Synergism.com? ;-) Because it has articles refuting his teachings Yeah, we are going for the opposite of monergism.com. We thought about synergism.com but liked libraryoftheology.com better. Maybe in the future we will buy that domain name and use it as another way to get to the same website...

I assume REVK that your not a Calvinist then? Oh, REV, can you give me the simple version of "open theism"? Nope and I never have been. I used to believe in "Perseverance of the Saints", but that is the only point of TULIP that I believed in from a Calvinist standpoint. I'm actually not an Open Theist...not yet anyway. I have been studying it as time permits. I have mostly been reading books that are against it. Unfortunately, they haven't been very convincing. The last thing I want to do is become an Open Theist. BUT, if it is the truth, it is the truth. As far as I understand Open Theism, is basically says this: 1) God is Omniscient (this is the point most who are against Open Theism get wrong)-meaning He knows ALL 2) The future is not part of reality yet, therefore is not in the realm of knowledge 3) The only part of the future that God knows is the part that He has chosen to already determine- an example would be prophecies, etc. 4) God brings the determined future to pass because of His power to bring it to pass, not because of his "exhaustive" knowledge of the future... 5) God has changed his mind 6) God has repented 7) God has been surprised 8) The future is partly open 9) Man has free will Hope that helps brother. Jesse can probably correct anything that I have said that is wrong...

By the way, Chris, can you guess the rest of the people on the header, from left to right? ;D Augustine, Pelagius, Luther, Calvin, Arminius, Wesley, Whitefield, Heretic Finney. (Just kidding) ;D How did I do? Oh and by the way, don't put double-quotes around Your Online Theological Resource.

That isn't Whitefield, it's Jonathan Edwards. Why shouldn't I put double quotes around that?

Tain't proper English; don' be askin' me how I's knowd that, I ferget where I learnded it frum.But I was talking to a copywriter at work about how people are using double-quotes too often and she was telling me of an ad where the client wanted double-quotes around something like that and we both agreed it wasn't correct. Also, the www. is redundant, you can drop it to just LibraryOfTheology.com in the title. My $0.02 ;D

synergism would be a bad name. Sounds like the "energy one puts into Sin". LOL

Why would that be funny no matter what your theology is?
Sin is not funny to God. Unfortunately most believers in monogism(sp) think they can't help but sin, they sin everyday. God made them to sin and Adam helped in God's plan.
This is pure idolatry, God's character is above reproach.

Just wanted to say that I am truly enjoying the Library of Theology website. I have found it to be a fountain of easy access to articles I need. Thanks again and keep up the work.

Yay! A library of propaganda. Twist God into whatever you want, just leave the rest of us out of it. KThxbai.

Hey Bryan, I am currently updating the website. Unfortunately, when Jesse's original YouTube page was deleted, all of the videos got deleted too. Most of it should be updated, except for the videos that Jesse doesn't have re-uploaded yet...like the doctrinal ones from the Philippines. Are there any specific ones that you are talking about?

Bryan, if you are referring to the "Doctrine of Sin", "Sovereignty of God", "Pelagius vs. Augustine", "True Conversion" and "Salvation" video pages, then, yes, those are the ones that needs Jesse's videos uploaded first. Sorry brother. It should be done by the end of March/beginning of April. I also need those videos for Jesse's Moral Government Video page. We are in Daytona Beach, FL to preach for Spring Break and don't have the videos here with us to upload them.

This seems to blame our sins on some type of death inherited from Adam?

<<This seems to blame our sins on some type of death inherited from Adam? >> Read it more carefully. We have not inherited sin from Adam and we are not guilty for Adam's sin. There is no such thing as original sin. It was not sin that passed unto all men but death. And because we are all born dead spiritually, that is we do not know the true and living God, we sin. We are not responsible for being spirtually dead, but we are responsible for choosing a false god as well as for every sin that we commit. We do not, of necesity, sin, but we always do because we do not know God. Until we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we continue in sin and spiritual death. When we repent, believe and receive Him we are given eternal life, are forgiven and born from above. We pass from death to life, from sin to righteousness and from wrath to peace. If any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things are passed away behold all things are become new. He gives us the power to overcome sin and live in victory.

because we are all born dead spiritually ... we sin. We are not responsible for being spirtually dead In other words, Adam made us dead and being dead made us sin. This blames our sins on a death caused by Adam. The Bible says "refuse profane and old wives' fables" and "Honor your father and your mother".

Romans:5:12 says: Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that (because of that) all have sinned. All have sinned because death passed upon all men.

Romans:5:12 says: Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that (because of that) all have sinned. All have sinned because death passed upon all men. Your reasons for rejecting " because all sinned" are not logical. The causative effect of Adam's sin is defined as being figurative of following Adam's example. Passages which occur after the defining passage (v12) do not need to restate the meaning in order to avoid contradiction. By assuming the "because all sinned" meaning and then immediately forgetting this meaning when interpreting the surrounding passages, you fail to test the interpretation for coherence and end up with the same Rudolf Bultmann obscurity. Second, the fact that we earn our own condemnation does not imply that we earn the offer of pardon. Paul explains that the analogy is not perfect. He explains that the effect of Christ is greater than the effect of Adam rather than a perfect parallel. If the offense of Adam oil-spilled onto all men apart from their own choice, but the righteousness of Christ only touches those who believe, then the offense of one is greater than the free gift.
