A Look at 2 Peter 3:9

2 Peter 3:9 is one of the frequent proof-texts quoted (out of context) in the attempt to argue for the idea that God desires for every person to be saved.  In this essay I'd like to examine this verse in context and demonstrate that a proper understanding of it does not support this popular point of view.

Calvinism Declared By The Church Fathers

The ubiquity of Arminianism in the modern evangelical church can make it difficult for some Christians to consider with any degree of seriousness the actual possibility that an alternate doctrinal system such as Calvinism may be the accurate and true interpretation of God's Word.  Unfortunately, however, this over-sensitivity toward Arminian theology is not a result of a discovery of its truth.  Rather, it demonstrates only how easily and greatly heresy can spread and gain legitimacy in a culture and church that is by and large theologically illiterate, apathetic, and ignorant of the historical Christian faith.

The Problem With The Cosmological Argument

T

he Cosmological Argument is one of the more popular arguments presented today for the existence of a god1. In this essay I’d like to briefly explain why I think the argument is very much overrated, and ultimately even unsuccessful.
 
The Cosmological Argument is an argument that seeks to prove the existence of a god by demonstrating that the universe came into existence via a First Cause or Uncaused Cause. There are various versions of the argument. The Kalam Cosmological Argument is a more concise version that was developed in light of the Big Bang theory. This is the version I will be focusing on in this essay, although any version of the argument would include some form of the premise I think is in question.
 
I want to point out a fatal flaw in the argument that Christian apologists (and even some atheists) tend to overlook. Some Christians would surely like to have my head for this. Before even posting the final version of this essay I’ve already received more than one e-mail asking why on earth I would want to argue against an argument for the existence of a god. Surely I must be nothing but a needless instigator, trying to divide the Body and help the atheist, they say. But there are several reasons why I find this essay necessary.
