벨직신앙고백서(Belic Confession, 1561) 한글 새번역 이제롬(Jerome Lee) 목사 번역 [본 글은 역자이신 이제롬 목사의 허락하게 게재하는 것임을 밝힙니다.] 캐나다 개혁교회의 교리표준 중에 첫 번째 것은 참된 기독교 신앙에 대한 고백서입니다. 이것은 흔히 벨직신앙고백서라고 불리는데 그 이유는 오늘날 벨기에로 알려진 네덜란드의 남부에서 처음 만들어졌기 때문입니다. 이 고백서의 저자는 네덜란드 개혁교회의 설교자였던 기도 드브레인데, 그는 1567년에 이 기독교 신앙으로 말미암아 순교했습니다. 16세기 네덜란드의 교회는 로마 가톨릭 체제로부터 극심한 박해 가운데 있었습니다. 기도 드 브레는 당시의 잔혹한 탄압에 항거하고, 또한 개혁신앙을 따르는 사람들은 그들에게 씌워진 혐의처럼 반역자가..

No, The Trinity Debates Aren’t Over by Rev. Derrick Brite In 2016, there was an eruption in conservative Evangelical and Reformed theologians surrounding the doctrine of the Eternal Functional Subordination of the Son (EFS).

The West is declining rapidly and in response some American Christians have begun arguing for a return to theocracy and even for a theocratic Caesar figure to replace the secular republican form of government established in the Constitution. Here is an introduction to some of these issues and a response to the recently published statement on Christian nationalism. Series on The Statement on Chri..

"While some in the mainstream media want to apply the label “Christian nationalism” (CN) broadly, encompassing all conservative Christians interested in politics, there’s a narrower use, particularly by Christians who appropriate the CN label for themselves; this latter will be our focus.

"The law/gospel distinction is crucially important because it appears at the roots of our salvation. If the roots aren’t healthy, then the tree isn’t going to be healthy either, and any possibility of real fruit may also come into question. We have to strive for precision, especially in foundational doctrines like justification." Why are theological distinctions so important? And if we fail to m..

The Calvinist, in a word, is the man who sees God. He has caught sight of the ineffable Vision, and he will not let it fade for a moment from his eyes - God in nature, God in history, God in grace. Everywhere he sees God in His mighty stepping, everywhere he feels the working of His mighty arm, the throbbing of His mighty heart. The Calvinist is therefore, by way of eminence, the supernaturalist..
