A Sanctuary for Biblical Logic

  This article is an expansion of my previous article “A Brief Thought on the Origin of Moral Evil”.    The origin of moral evil has baffled many Christian theologians throughout the ages. For many years, I have been thinking much about the topic of theodicy. If God is good, why is there evil? Many Christians concluded that God is the creator of everything except sin or moral evil because the infinitely good God cannot be involved with sin in any way. Satan and man are the sole causes, founders, and creators of sin. For many Christians, that’s the safety mark. However, I am not satisfied with that cowardly answer. I heartily agree with the famous Christian Counsellor, Jay Adams, who laid out the most basic theodicy question in his book “The Grand Demonstration: A Biblical Study of the So-called Problem of Evil”:   “To say that all evil is the result of the fall of Adam is perfectly true—but piteously inadequate. That response merely moves the question back a step: how could there

  Psa 146:1   Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Psa 146:2   While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Praise starts with the Word of God filling the mind. Christianity is a thinking religion and is not a mindless religion. Religion is a devotion of the mind to certain doctrines and therefore the Christian religion is the mind’s devotion to the doctrines of the Bible.

Emotions play zero part in Christianity. The belief in Christ which leads to salvation only involves the mind thinking of Soteriology and Christology. God commands the saved to con

This commentary is to show why the blessings and promises of Psalm 145 are strictly particular to the elect alone.  Psa 145:1  David's Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.  Psa 145:2  Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.  Psa 145:3  Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.  Psa 145:4  One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.  Psa 145:5  I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.  Psa 145:6  And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.  Psa 145:7  They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.    No one has the will and desire to praise God but those whom God causes to approach unto Him in time according to His eternal unconditional election (Psalm 65:4).
