A listener to our podcast asked for the resources that I mentioned in the episode that would allow someone to go and study primary sources for themselves that could be used for theological retrieval. These days, Christians don't have to merely rely on secondary sources or have academic access to certain libraries to study old... Continue Reading →
Do Baptists Use a Modernist Hermeneutic? Response to Matthew Barrett
Dr. Matthew Barrett's departure from the Southern Baptist Convention has taken a small corner of internet theology by storm. But more than what he's departing from, the turmoil has been caused by what he's departing to -- Anglicanism. Critics of classical theology within Baptist circles have already begun turning this into an I told you... Continue Reading →
RESOURCE: Writings of the Particular Baptist Confessors
Having been richly blessed spending time in the works of our Particular Baptist forebears, I came to realize that there was a great gap to be filled in making their works more accessible. As far as I could find, there was no easy place to go to find a thorough list of their works, making... Continue Reading →
Man’s Moral Compass & the Absolute Standard (PART 3)
MORALITY. Where does it come from, what is the standard, and who can make such a declaration? These are all things I've touched on in this series. In PART 1, I wrote on whether one must subscribe to theism if there is a desire to claim a sense of morality. In PART 2, I highlighted... Continue Reading →
Man’s Moral Compass & the Absolute Standard (PART 2)
MORALITY. In my PREVIOUS ARTICLE, I wrote on whether one must subscribe to theism if there is a desire to claim a sense of morality. Ultimately, I concluded that a rejection of theism automatically disqualifies one of having any sense of justification behind their moral code. It becomes a meaningless standard with no authority to... Continue Reading →
Why I’m Not a Christian Nationalist: An Old Baptist Alternative
This post likely won't win me many friends. Obviously, Christian nationalists won't like me criticizing their position. But this post will likely frustrate many on the anti-Christian nationalist side of things too, because this post is NOT about principled pluralism, post-WWII conceptions of religious liberty, or really anything that would satisfy secular America today. Indeed,... Continue Reading →
Jerome and Antichrist: An Example of Single-Fulfillment Hermeneutics
A couple years ago, I uploaded a paper I wrote defending a single-fulfillment approach to interpreting biblical prophecy, particularly as it relates to prophecies about Christ. I alluded to Augustine as an example of how this looks in practice, where he likewise saw in the example of 2 Samuel 7:4-17 Christ alone fulfilling the prophecy,... Continue Reading →
REASONS FOR INFANT BAPTISM ? (Part 2)
A couple months ago, I wrote an article that entailed my responses to eight supposed reasons for paedobaptism. These “reasons” were all proposed by a brother in Christ which led to some great discussion. Just as I did with the first eight, I intend to show why these seven additional reasons (#9 thru #16) aren’t... Continue Reading →

Can We Learn From Roman Catholics?
Thanks to The Particular Baptist team for feedback and edits for this article. There is plenty going around suggesting that it would be improper to utilize Roman Catholic teachers in theology especially as it relates to the doctrine of God. It is easy to see why this would be the case. Roman Catholicism is not... Continue Reading →
