Calvinism — Research Notes (Cheryl Schatz)

Collection of 5 research notes on Calvinism, covering God's mercy to all (Romans 11:30-32), the purpose of divine mercy and compassion, Esau's election as about Messianic lineage not individual salvation (Malachi 1:2-3), and Calvin's concept of Evanescent Grace.

Was God’s Wrath Satisfied in Christ or Paid in Hell?

Was God’s wrath satisfied in Christ? If so then how can sinners suffer God’s wrath in hell? This question is one that is often asked by Calvinists to those who do not hold to the teaching of Calvinism.

Sin Nature Through Man

The question has come up on this blog about whether Adam had a sin nature at the fall that would have been passed on to all of us, and if this is an issue that is important regarding women in ministry. After all, we need to know why it is that only Adam would bring sin into the world and if all of u

Silence Of Adam Sin

In our continuing discussion about the fall of man, we have seen that there are no witnesses and no charge of sin against Eve for adding to God’s word. Therefore we must conclude without any charge of sin, that the woman did not add to God’s word

The Unfaithful Watchman

In the last article we saw that God gave additional information to Adam and his wife regarding what they were allowed to eat and God gave freedom for them to be fruit inspectors as he gave them a test to know what was good food. In another post we will talk more about Eve’s words to the serpent and

Circumcision The Woman And The Kinsman Redeemer

In dealing with women in ministry, the question has been asked of me, isn’t circumcision a proof that God only wants men to minister through leading and teaching since God gave the sign of circumcision for males only to his people in the Old Testament. Did God give preferential treatment to males wh

Egalitarian overreach on 'ezer': Belleville claims it implies 'help that only God can provide' -- Mike refutes this with Ezekiel 12:14 where 'ezer' refers to military helpers.

Three sources of prophecy in Scripture: from God, from Satan (false prophets), and from the prophet's own heart — the third type is what characterizes most Bethel prophecy

Mike introduces a biblical taxonomy of prophetic sources from Jeremiah and Ezekiel

Ezekiel 13:2 — 'prophesy against the prophets who prophesy out of their own heart'

Reason 5 affirmed and answered: Fulfilled prophecy is the correct test for biblical inspiration, and the Bible passes it

The skeptic argues that an inspired Bible would contain specific, verifiable prophecies — but calls biblical prophecies 'feeble in the extreme.'

Kim selectively applies Old Testament law — takes Sabbath but ignores everything else in the same passage (Ezekiel 22:26)

Kim quotes Ezekiel 22:26 as proof that disregarding the Sabbath profanes God. Mike shows the verse also mentions distinctions between holy/common and clean/unclean — the entire Levitical system.

Introduction to Ezekiel 26 — the destruction of Tyre prophecy. Ra claims every part of it failed.

Historical and geographical background of Tyre: capital of Phoenicia, queen of the Mediterranean trade routes, considered impregnable after 2,000 years of continuous occupation.

Winger provides context to show why the Tyre prophecy is significant and remarkable.

Mike Winger idea 2018-09-05

Ezekiel 26 text walkthrough: the prophecy uses two distinct sets of pronouns — 'he' (Nebuchadnezzar) and 'they' (multiple later nations) — specifying different actors for different actions.

This pronoun distinction is the key to properly understanding the prophecy and refuting Ra's objection.

Ezekiel 26 hermeneutics Bible prophecy Ezekiel 26
Mike Winger idea 2018-09-05

Historical fulfillment by Nebuchadnezzar: 13-year siege of Tyre (mainland). The people relocated to the island during the siege, so Nebuchadnezzar entered an empty city.

Winger narrates the secular historical record of Nebuchadnezzar's siege to show what the 'he' pronoun delivered.
