heresy

James White recently had an episode on his podcast on Penal Substitutionary Attonement: Penal Subsitutionary Atonement: Part 2. In it, he referred to the PCUSA member who runs the Redeemed Zoomer youtube chanell, and called him out on his saying that PSA is not essential doctrine. James...

This thread is split from the thread "Where are the Trinitarian and Christological Boundaries", and with a similar idea in mind as "How to View the Christian East Between 780-2025". I have been exposed to two differing accounts of the Chalcedonian Controversy. The first - claims that the whole...

How do we define trinitarian and christological errors as heresy? As damnable? Those who hold them as wolves? As being outside the faith? Are the boundaries strictly theological or also ones of attitude, context, consistency and soteriological implication? How harshly do we define the following...

I am trying to think this through: In the first five books of the scriptures, which places give the clearest indications that the one who is to come will be God, the God-man? I will name the first one I thought of. Both clear-cut quotations and longer explanations about what some passage or...

Hi yall, What do you guys think about this video from RedeemedZoomer? He's not the only one I've seen accuse MacArthur of being Nestorian but he may be the latest. Do you think Nestorianism is heretical? I know MacArthur affirms the hypostatic union but apparently so did Nestorious. Do you...

Apologia Studios/Apologia Radio/Dr. James White/Jeff Durbin etc's 2019 Reformed Con seems to have booked both Federal Vision's Andrew Sandlin and Doug Wilson's Associate Pastor Toby Sumpter with his Cross Politic Podcast. https://reformcon.org/ R. Scott Clark's warnings and concerns are...

This is an issue which I have been wrestling with for quite a while. Obviously, no Reformed Protestant could possibly say that the government can make people Christians. Only God in His grace and mercy can do such a thing. Still, I'm wondering whether this precludes any role whatsoever for the...

Hello all. I am currently working on a series on racism and heresy. The first post is already up and I am working on the next. As there are a lot of sharp folks around here, I would love to hear your feedback. http://www.heartandmouth.org/2018/02/07/racism-material-heresy-formal-heresy-outline-1/

I had an open theist today on Facebook quote 2 Chronicles 6:5 to try to "prove" to me God doesn't have a foreknowledge or doesn't predestine anything. Here is the discussion between me and the open theist (OT). I may have not answered it too well because I was a bit fired up at his heresy. OT...

Part of the reason I joined the PB was to seek a sound response to the question "Is belief in the Trinity-specifically the 3 persons of God-neccesary for salvation?". I searched and found a similar thread already that existed and I didnt ever end up seeing a response (I just ended up seeing...

NOTICE: On the advice of another member, I am splitting my questions up (Smart 2012) into three separate posts, allowing "folks to more easily focus the discussion on one point" (Lindsay 2012, par. 2). This is the first of three posts; the other two are "Heretical v. unorthodox: What is heresy?"...

(I am not sure that I have placed this in the correct forum here at PuritanBoard. Feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum if this is not the correct one.) I present the following questions for the sincere and thoughtful consideration of Presbyterian members here—although it is open...

so i was thinking how we have all these churches and all these different denominations some that fall into orthodoxy some that fall into heresy. when someone comes to faith in Christ or is looking for a church but has little to no knowledge they are very confused on which church to attend...

In interactions with hyperpreterists, one of the first claims they make is that they are just reading the Bible for what it says. First, we must ask then why 2000 years worth of Christians who have read that same Bible, some people even in the original languages & some people who had ONLY the...
