I came across this interesting article at Alpha and Omega Ministries. It considers 2 Peter 2:1 and whether or not it teaches one can be bought by Jesus and still lose their salvation. The exegesis of this text is very well done and worth the read. I commend it to the readers here to consider, both, its conclusions and as an example of good exegesis. I really like James White and his work in defending the faith from Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witness and other religions and atheism, as well as his work in considering if Roman Catholicism is biblical, and in defending Reformed theology. He is very fair to the other side, allowing them to define the terms that they use and such, as well as staying to historical-grammatical exegesis of Scripture when examining a biblical passage. He is well worth the consideration of all the authors here at Theology for the Masses to read.

I’m on my 3rd read of his [James White]“The Potter’s Freedom”. The first one was a bit fast. The second was a bit slower but not in depth… this last one, I’m trying to memorize or pay attention to key verses.
He totally exegetes Total Depravity, Unconditional Election… that’s how far I’m in… Three More Letters to go :-)
