I'm new to Norman's teachings but it's obvious he's a gift to the body of Christ. I once read a top ten Christian philosophers list of the last 100 years, he was 6 on the list! I've got to study this man of God teachings more lol
You are one of the most brilliant individuals I have ever encountered. You back up everything you talk about whether it is christian doctrine, theology, or philosophy. You have been a blessing to so many.Thank you.
Straight from The Book- The Bible. God-Given graciously using Dr. Norm Geisler. I am enjoying it right now and forever. May God help me understand and practice it accordingly. In the awesome name of Jesus I present my prayer to God. Amen.
I'm very sorry, but...Total Depravity, an essential doctrine of Christianity? Yes, all men sin, but that's not the same as Total Depravity. Total Depravity is Calvinist, but no other branch of Christendom even agrees, let alone considers it an essential doctrine. Like all Reformed preachers, Dr. Geisler is too partisan to be lecturing regarding the essentials of the faith.
I dont think he had total deprabity as part of the essentials. He had human depravity and if you see the way he explains it is not total depravity, is just the fact that all men are sinful and will always end up sinning, but he does not hold the inability or spiritual deadness in sin that calvinists hold to which states we are unable to beleieve the gospel unless you are regenerated by God first.
Geisler has published good material and not so good ones such as his book "Chosen but Free" which grossly misrepresents Reformed Theology. If you want to read that book read it along with James R White's book "The Potter's Freedom"
I let the Bible speak, I read in 2 Timothy 3:16, 17. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness ,( my question is why ) verse (17 ) has the answer, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I listen to God, not Noman Geisler.Norman Geisler is very popular in the Calvary Chapel church movement. We see now what happened to that movement, they are all splitting up and go different directions. False teachings galore. I had to leave that movement, could not stomach it any longer.
People splitting up because of disagreement doesn’t equate to false teaching. By that logic every church that has lost a member is a false church with false teachings. 🤪
