Please Don't Call Me A Calvinist But . . .

I also liked his explanation of Particular Redemption. I'm paraphrasing here but his point is that if a rebellious sinner bears the penalty for his own sins in Hell, it was not born by Jesus on the cross. All sin will be punished either at Calvary or in Hell--one place or the other, but not both.
Obviously, many will disagree with his take. But as one who agrees, it was a fresh way of stating the principle. -

And, being as you mentioned a verse in Romans, I would offer that neither system has a great deal of admiration for Rom. 4:1-8, nor any particular great admiration for the "Biblical Saint of saints," either. (It is almost amazing to me, that we so elevate the one identified as the 'chief of sinners,' while downplaying this individual, I would offer.) Or at least Scripture seems to consider the one I am talking about as the "Biblical Saint of Saints," anyway, considering he is one of three individuals - the other two being Abel and the first Drunk in history, Noah, who are called righteous or just 3 times each. In addition, he is the only individual that God, the Holy Spirit, inspired a writer to write about which specifically identified him as being among the godly. My Biblical hero - the Biblical Saint of saints - is - yep, you got it, 'Hizzoner', the Mayor of Sodom, godly Lot!
And yes, 'my theology' includes all Scripture. :thumbs:
