Social Justice Dishonors Black People

By Ronnie W. Rogers / July 27, 2020 / Comments Off

I believe the present emphasis on social justice and critical race theory rather than God’s impartial justice disparages all humans by treating them as something less than they are, which is created in the image of God (Gen 1:26-28). First, they do so by being based on a Marxian materialistic view of reality. Second, because…

By Ronnie W. Rogers / July 13, 2020 / Comments Off

Social justice: While social justice and cultural Marxism are not synonymous, they can rightly be used interchangeably as I have done.

Calvinism Fails to Absolve God from Causing the Fall

By Ronnie W. Rogers / May 18, 2020 / Comments Off

Genesis two seems to clearly present Adam with a choice between obedience and blessing (Gen 2:16) and disobedience and judgment (Gen 2:17). Then, when Adam and Eve did eat (Gen 3:6), God rightly judged them, and they died. Consequently, they lost all the blessings God had granted them while living in the garden because he…

The nature and attributes of God are seen not only in His person but in His creation as well.
