Re: Jeremias Bastingius
If you are studying Dutch reformed tradition of the 16th century I think that Jean Taffin is a very important representative, but I don't know if there are translations of his works in English. Z. Hey there Zonderling, Thanks for that. I had forgotten about Taffin. Ive read his Marks and I have rea...

Jeremias Bastingius
Hey all, Ive just finished reading Bastingius' exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism. Its not been easy finding Biographies of his life online. What's his status in the Dutch Reformed tradition? Is he will known? well received? His work clearly reflects the theology of the Heidelbergers, like Parae...

Re: The Myth of Common Grace by Garrett P. Johnson
G'day Luther, Regarding the quoted text I had posted, you say: This is a piece of right judgement, the foundations of the church have been eroded for the last centuries. This erosion then began way way back. In the Reformed tradition, it began with men like Calvin, like Bullinger, like Musculus and ...

Re: The Myth of Common Grace by Garrett P. Johnson
Hello again: that I believe there is no wellmeant offer, nor any common grace... Amen! I gotta say, it is a contradiction to assert the denial of common grace and the free offer as being Reformed. Contrary to Hanko, Owen, Turretin, and countless others all affirm common grace. They also speak of the...

Re: Benedictus Aretius on God as a Lover of Mankind
Hey Momento, Long time no see. I hope you are doing well. What's so interesting about that, David? I guess nobody here will deny that the description of God, given by Aretius, is a very orthodox one... I totally agree. There is nothing but this work in English by Aretius. The actually subject of thi...

Benedictus Aretius on God as a Lover of Mankind
I recently finished reading a work by Aretius and found this. I thought it might be interesting. Bendictus Aretius: To discourse modestly of God and matters relating to him, is no small part of Religion. For sin the Nature of God is incomprehensible, his Power infinite, and his Name inexpressible, n...

That's fine. Perhaps one day. :-)
To Mayflower, Turretin has a very good discussion on the time of justification. See his Institutes, 2:682-685.
Have a good day,
David

Re: Defination of Hyper-calvinism by Elder Stanley Philips
My friend Flynn, you are resurrecting all the old arguments of universalists, However, neither Calvin, Brakel nor Turretin, when not taken out of context, taught a universal love of God for all mankind. Hey Burt, That's an interesting claim. I did adduce a few Scriptures there. :-) From your side, ...

Re: Defination of Hyper-calvinism by Elder Stanley Philips
Hey Mayflower, The formatting of your post is not that reader-friendly. The arguments look very standard. The problem is, the Reformed orthodox have always affirmed general love. Turretin affirmed it, Calvin affirmed it, a' Brakel affirmed it. I think its important to keep that in mind. I have no pr...

Re: Defination of Hyper-calvinism by Elder Stanley Philips
Hey Alexander, Thank you, David for your reply, I am surely interested in the topic, I like the works of Turretin very much. I did read a lot of what he wrote. I will surely look at these links, thank you. With the general love of God I have some problems, I don't know how to see that, if God loves ...

Re: Defination of Hyper-calvinism by Elder Stanley Philips
Hey there Alexander, You say: The best definition of a Hyper-Calvinism I know of is from David Engelsma; Hyper-Calvinism is the denial that God in the preaching of the gospel calls everyone who hears the preaching to repent and believe. It is the denial that the church should call everyone in the pr...

Re: LIMITED ATONEMENT--JOHN 3:16
Hey Mayflower, You cite: When one is to understand the meaning of words, it is best to let the Bible define its own words. Using an English dictionary might be useful for understanding certain words, but God's definition is the one we must seek after. A misunderstanding of the word 'might' in verse ...

Jean Taffin on what is the Gospel and what is Offered
I found this other day and thought some of your might be interested. I am sure some of you already know who Taffin was. In order to comfort those so dangerously and severely attacked, it should be said that this weakness is caused by these people trying to assure themselves of salvation by testing w...

Calvin and the Free and Well-Meant Offer
The other day I found this in Calvin: Now I want to consider not so much what and how Pighius speaks, as how this worthless fellow may fall and lie buried under the ruins of his desperate impudence. So pious consciences will be reassured; for, as I know, they are often disturbed because of their ine...
