A Ray of Light in the Selective Service? (Romans 1:21)

November 1, 2022 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Creation, Darkness, depravity, hypocrisy, Romans 1

In Romans 1, Paul discusses the spiritual darkness that descends upon people when they reject what is right before their eyes. Much of the discussion deals with Creation and the created order. Creation itself shouts out that there is a Creator and that there are established sexual boundaries. Throughout history, however, mankind has denied these

The Darkness at the Cross: Part 2 (Mark 15:33)

August 18, 2022 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Creation, Darkness, Judgment, Sin

In part 1, I argued that the centurion at the foot of the cross wisely considered the darkness at the time of Christ’s death and came to some surprisingly good conclusions about who Jesus is.

“Luther’s doctrine of justification has frequently been attacked for being monotonous, empty, and even obsessive.” So notes Oswald Bayer in his article, “Justification as the Basis and Boundary of Theology.” Sound familiar? GES’s emphasis on the promise of everlasting life has faced the same criticism. Bayer continues to explain that Emmanuel Swedenborg caricatured Lutherans in

Genesis 1-3 and Everlasting Salvation
