Round 1: Providence

Terrell Owens starts out strong with his views of God’s providence.

God may not be there when you want him but he is always on time. -Terrell Owens
This is God's world this is not the media's world. -Terell Owens

John Owen counters with his view of God’s providence

The providence of God protecting and governing all, but watching in an especial manner for the good of them that are his - John Owen

Round 2: Morals

Owens comes back with his take on morality:

Right is right and wrong is wrong. - Terrell Owens

But Owen counters:
The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it - John Owen

Round 3: Top performers

Owens recently made the top 5 list of all time touchdown receptions.

Owen bounces back as he reciently was ranked in the top 5 theologians for Indonesian Christians to read.

Round 4: Verboseness

Owens can't keep his mouth shut in front of the media, recently telling Jessica Simpson not to come to the games so her boyfriend can focus.

Owen is always talking as well. His commentary on Hebrews is roughly 100 volumes.

Round 5: Trash Talking

Owens has a hard time respecting longstanding, honorable traditions.

In Owen’s intro to the Death of Christ, he hints that Arminians are associated with Pelagians, Gnostics and Judas.

Looks like a tie. Seriously, can’t discussions about Calvinism/Arminianism take place without the anger?

Responsibility - Evaluation of Arminian Grounds for LFW

Outline of Edwards Arguments in part V.I Arminians say if something causally predetermines our choices, we are not responsible. But responsibility is not the cause of choices, it’s in the nature of choices If responsibility is in the cause of choices, we search through an infinite regression of causes, and nothing is ever responsible. My Response Point 1 is close, but not quite accurate. While our actions can be predetermined, our choices cannot be. Choice cannot be predetermined, else it’s not choice. Predeterminism leave us with only one possible action, but choice requires alternatives (i.e. more than one). A “predetermined choice” is self-contradictory, implying we can choose something we can’t choose. So we think Calvinists are inconsistent for saying we can choose. Also, Arminians agree that we are responsible for our choices. Even though we deny we are responsible for things we are causally predetermined to do, we are not saying responsibility lies in the cause of choices,

The Equivocation of Regeneration

In the order of salvation, which comes first, faith or regeneration? Before we can answer that, don't we first need to understand what regeneration is? In this post I plan on contrasting Hodge's view with Arminius'. Hopefully, in the process we can clarify the issue of monergism vs. synergism. Hodge’s Order of Salvation Common Grace – a “moral suasion” that brings good works, but is insufficient to enable justifying faith Regeneration – God’s supernatural and immediate change of a person’s nature Vocation – same Gospel as the one in common grace, but it’s effectual on the changed man. Conversion – faith and repentance “first conscious exercise of the renewed soul” Justification Two Definitions of Regeneration Hodges provides two alternative definitions of regeneration. Sometimes regeneration means just the imparting of life, other times it means the whole process including the things coming before and after the imparting of life. 1 Hodge says these two difference sense
