January 9, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - Condemnation, Judgment, Justification, righteousness, Rom 5:16

The book of Romans is often seen as a book that tells people how to be saved from the lake of fire. Many evangelistic tracts use various verses from the book to tell the unbeliever how to be saved in this regard. When you combine this with the tendency of many people to see the

That Sounds Familiar (Jeremiah 9:25-26)

July 12, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - circumcision, Justification, rituals, Romans 2

When I read the OT, I enjoy seeing something to which the writers of the NT specifically refer. I find myself reading along and saying, “This reminds me of something Paul said. I wonder if he had this passage in mind?” Sometimes such references are obvious. For example, Paul might quote a particular verse in

Quakers, Scripture, and Justification by Turning from Sin

September 16, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Bibliology, Justification, Quaker

I read everybody. For example, I was reading this blog on Scriptural authority from “Ramblings of a Country Preacher,” an independent Quaker minister. He is arguing that Quakers—and all Christians—must return to Scriptural authority. Overall, I agree with his position: The perfect standard or Scriptural teachings have over time been consumed by the secular liberal

March 7, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Justification
