A Sanctuary for Biblical Logic

Me : God does not love everyone Person A : God so loves the world. World includes everyone. What's your definition of love? Me : The world of John 3:16 refers only to all the elect all around the world regardless of ethnicity, nationality, and languages since the time of Adam. It does not mean everyone head for head without exception. God’s love is God’s grace that never fails to save. When He loves someone, that someone definitely will be saved. His love is always saving.  If God loves everyone without exception including Pharaoh, Jezebel and Esau who are already in hell, then His love has failed to save them. But what does the Bible say about God's (attitude) towards the reprobate? 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man . Psalm 5:6 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image ...

Dear Consistory of CERC, It is my pleasure to express my desire to join CERC as a member as I believe it is a biblically sound church and a pleasant church to be in. I also strongly agree with the teachings of the PRCA, which is a big reason for me to want to be a member of CERC. It is my responsibility to state: 1) what my eschatological view is, 2) the origin of my eschatological view, 3) what I am not and my point of agreement with CERC’s eschatological view, 4) my point of disagreement with CERC’s eschatological view, 5) a point of struggle in my eschatological view, and 6) a conclusion.      1) What my eschatological view is I am what I call as Covenantal, Pro-Israel Premillennial. It is famously held by the Bible-Presbyterians, which they combine Covenant theology and Pro-Israel Premillennialism, as distinct to a more common combination of Covenant Theology and Amillennialism.   In covenant theology, I believe that there is only one Covenant i.e. ...

John 3:16   "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." 1. For God so loved the world : God loves all the elect from all nations, ethnicities and locations. If the world means every individual without exception head for head, then God’s love has failed because many are already in hell since the time of Adam. Revelation 5:9 defines the world of John 3:16 – “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (the world of John 3:16) ”. 2. that he gave his only begotten Son : John 17:24 says that the Father gave the elect to and for Christ, hence by logical implication Christ must be given only for the elect believers. What kind of logic that thinks to include the wicked reprobates in the world of John 3:16 as well? ...

A Quote from David J. Engelsma Prosperous Wicked and Plagued Saints: An Exposition of Psalm 73 (brackets mine) The argument of Psalm 73 contends that, although it seems God is good to the wicked (reprobates), in fact He is not good to them - not at all. God is not good to those who are not (elect) Israel. They are those persons who do not have a clean, that is regenerated and sanctified heart (v1). They are those who are foolish (v3), wicked (v3), proud and violent (v6), corrupt blasphemers of God and slanderers of God’s people (v8,9), ungodly (v12), and far from God (v27)….. They are those men and women whom God has eternally appointed to destruction (Jude 4). For them Christ did not die…. God is not good to these ungodly and wicked by having a favourable attitude toward them. He is not good to them by blessing them. He is not good to them in this life with regard to their comfortable circumstances and abundant possessions. With these circumstances and possessions, God neither intends...

It has come to my attention that there is a belief among some people that I disagree with indiscriminate evangelism, therefore they have accused me to be a hyper-Calvinist. But this is far from the truth. A certain sister messaged me all of sudden with that accusation. Below is our exchange on 31 March 2025: A sister: But if Grace is only for the elect, and U don't believe in evangelism, then how do you explain Matthew 28:18-20 where Christians are instructed to go into all the world and preach gospel Me: Who said i don’t believe in evangelism? I still preach the Gospel indiscriminately. If you don’t know what i believe in, u don’t act smart trying to refute me. A sister: You yourself told me that U believe grace is only for the elect alone ...and not upon all...my dad says hypercalvinist view is like this .they don't bother preaching the gospel because they already know that God predetermined who is to be saved Me: Your dad is right about hyper-Calvinism, except that I am not...
