Doctor Rogers' Monster

Doctor Rogers' monster is Paul Williams! The Monster Mash mixture is a combination of anti-Calvinist free will theology and eternal security. This is a lethal theological concoction. As certain as homosexuality is the end of the destructive sinful path of Romans 1:18-27, Paul Williams is the end of Rogers' theology. Rogers has proximity and proclivity to this monstrosity. They worked together for 35 years and then Williams kept the sodomy a secret from Rogers for 17 years.

Dr. Frankenstein And His Monster!

While spending a week in 1958 with my cousin, Bill Armstrong, in Woodbury, Tennessee, my aunt gave us enough money to go see a movie. My first movie was FRANKENSTEIN. Looking back it seems providential that I saw this movie.
(Wikipedia) Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 19 years old. The title of the novel refers to a scientist who learns how to reanimate flesh and creates a being in the likeness of man out of body parts taken from the dead. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein" (especially in films since 1931).
Frankenstein is a novel infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. The novel raises many issues that can be linked to today's culture. These issues include the evolution of man and whether technical progress can be self-destructive.
Shelley wrote: "It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs."

Southern Baptist Abortions

How many of these aborted babies were killed by Southern Baptist mothers? How many babies have been aborted in Christian homes? Does the church need to repent of this awful sin by believers? When Churches post these crosses in their lots do they just think only sinners abort (kill) children? How many good Southern Baptist doctors kill babies? How many Baptist nurses assist in abortions? What is the church doing about this. Do they condemn unchurched people for this and are silent about their own. These people teach in their Sunday Schools and the doctors pay substantial tithes to the church. What about the Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostals, Reformed and charismatics? What about the Catholics?

Survey your congregations and post a cross for every participant whose hands are bloody with the death of poor children. Tally the total murders of these Christians and put up crosses for each murder.

Does God Wink At Ignorance?

At Mars Hill in the city of Athens Paul encountered a religious concept based on an appeal to ignorance. To establish the fact that every god was acknowledged the Greeks set up an altar to an unknown god. This was done perhaps sincerely by men who desperately wanted to acknowledge the correct god.
This is a fallacy of irrelevant evidence. The Greeks were basing this religious concept on an appeal to ignorance. (Argumentum Ad Ignorantiam) This is a common fallacy among religions and is appealed to by many Christians today. It is the basis of a 'feel good' religion that is desperately seeking 'happiness'. It goes like this: "flying saucers do exist, for no one really knows for sure they don't."
The master of debate, apostle Paul, seized this occasion to present the particular God to a group of people who worshipped an indefinite god.. Their god was far away beyond the reach of the human mind and only their heart could reach out to him in 'feeling'. Paul said the "up close God" uncreated by humans predestines all things beforehand. Even to the Greeks Paul said, "WE are his offspring." "In Him WE live and move and have OUR being." Can we as modern day evangelicals say this to the world? These are bold words from a great courageous man. These words engender common men to rally gladly and enrages religious men to destroy. Why? Common men know that they have little recourse in life and go with the flow of the good and bad. They understand fate and live with it everyday. But religious men live by their beliefs and their destinies are sealed by their decisions. They make life work! When Paul says God alone makes life meaningful and your fate is in His hands; this angers religious men!
When you tell a 'sold out man' to his convictions that he should sit down and wait on God who will save the pagans when He gets ready to do it, he rushes out on his own determination.
He will not wait on God! This is the core of American Evangelistic Evangelicalism. They rush off without God all the while God 'let's them go' but He does not wink at their ignorance.

The adoption of this appeal to an ignorant rush into destiny, a holy guess, you could say is contradictory. They have pragmatically resolved that Christ's atonement not specific in application is specific only when it is believed. They say that our believing makes it true that Christ died for us. The contradiction is they say Christ died for everyone in general, which should make everyone saved (universalism) but specifically only the ones believing are saved.
This makes Christianity just another religion reaching out to God in hopes of 'feeling' after Him.
Rather we say Christianity is a relationship and God is nigh unto us determining our bounds of habitation. This is good news to the common man. A voice cries out in the night "everyman for himself. The mighty ship is sinking swim to shore and if you can't swim hold on to something. An angel assured me in the hull of the ship we would all be saved. Captains and mighty men, "do thyselves no harm" God cares for you also!"

You who are his offspring, not everyone in general, repent. God has changed your mind not you, obey him while you can. "You have another mind" (metanoia) use it. Turn from your wicked ways all you He died for. You will be saved.

Arminianism and it's free will beliefs are rooted in religious ignorance! If a man chooses to be ignorant let him be ignorant.

The Folly Of Pelagianism

What are the chances that a chunk of coal will become a diamond someday? Do you realize how much coal is in the earth? The power of positive thinking, what folly! It used to be that an American could realize his dreams but now that big government has arrived the chances of self-improvement are extremely slim. To surmount taxation lessens the possibility for progress and the reality that I cannot change myself for the better in America. Accept your lot and be content.
Out of the world population so few will realize true success and fame to amount to anything. You are not a promise with a capital P! Satan has the world where he want it, in a rut. Like rats in a cage, captive to it's own desires to find a way out and no hope in sight.
So here comes a Pelagian singing "I am an old chunk of Coal!" "But I am going to be a diamond someday!" Fat chance Johnny!
Oh, but the message of God! We are dust, unprofitable says Paul. A chunk of coal has profit but we are unprofitable. That means there is nothing to start with. No inherent value to begin a new work. No promise. Nothing. Restoration? NO!

Regeneration, yes! What are the chances of the elect being regenerate? well, 75%, 85%, NO! 100% Yes! How many are elected? An innumerable host in heaven! All nations, colors, languages will be there. This is not folly. Pelagianism is folly. The preaching you hear today from the many pulpits is folly. The gospel is not folly but truth for men, women, rich, poor, famous, unknown, etc. on and on. Our hope is in Christ who became dust for us that the glory of God would be manifested!

I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal

I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal (click on title or picture for the video)

On face book the following conversation took place.
........thinking.......I may not be perfect, but Jesus thinks I'm to die for!!!!!!
Wow! How profound!LM
I love that!! I am gonna have to use that. ;)
Love it! I still sing "I'm just an old chunk of coal" under my breath at least once a week. Really glad you are on here and my friend!

Isn't the assumption of this conversation that we are somehow redeemable as sinners? We are not so bad that there is something of value in all of us, no, yes, NO!

Isn't there some Pelagianism in this conversation? We are sinners but not so sinful that we are beyond redemption.

I entered the conversation: Charles Page at 6:41am March 23
Art, a chunk of coal is a bad analogy for a sinner. A lump of coal is good for man and has the potential to be a precious stone. A lump of coal is profitable. A sinner is "unprofitable" (Rom 3:12) There is nothing redeemable in man so if you are saved at all it HAS to be grace. Unmerited favor, undeserved favor. You did nothing to earn it. He gave it to you and He did not ask you if you wanted it. The sinner is so dead in sin that he will not even resist God and God will not acknowledge him. There is no connection between the two apart from Christ. He first loved the unloveable!

Another Amyraut Follower, Andrew Fuller

Andrew Fuller was born on February 5, 1754 in Wicken, Cambridgeshire, England. He was the son of poor Baptist farmers. Because Fuller ministered during the same era as George Whitefield and the Wesley brothers it would be easy for his name to get lost in their giant shadows. He pastored two congregations during his life at Soham (1775-1782) and at Kettering (1782-1806). Christianity in England was in a generally depressed condition at the time to which Fuller was born. Particular Baptists had fallen into a hyper-Calvinism that denied the need to evangelize the lost or even to offer salvation to anyone.

"The basic issue at stake with Fullerism is the atoning work of Jesus Christ. For Christ to be properly glorified, His redemptive work must be properly taught and understood. Fuller was not an Arminian. He strongly believed in the doctrine of election, advocating that God chose a certain and particular people to salvation. We do not take issue with his view on election, but Fuller’s view of the atonement is the cause for concern. Fuller believed that the atonement of Christ was sufficient for the entire human race, but was applied efficaciously only to the elect. Fuller, in his own words declares, “There is such a fullness in the satisfaction of Christ, as is sufficient for the salvation of the whole world, were the whole world to believe in Him.” Fuller contended that Christ died for sin, in general. Thus, His death is applied to those who believe on Him. ". . .
