Big Time Heavy Theology Alert - "Antinomy" ~Terry Rayburn

Terry Rayburn over at Grace For Life has written an excellent article: Big Time Heavy Theology Alert - "Antinomy".

Here is a quote from the article: "This idea has been widely spread among Reformed believers through the writings of A.W. Pink in his famous book The Sovereignty of God (a great book overall, by the way). Pink argues that John 3:16, "God so loved the world...", is referring merely to "the world of the Elect".

Pink's argument, in my opinion, is a truly pathetic piece of biblical interpretation, which begins with a premise (God simply couldn't love the wicked), and concludes with a twisting of John 3:16 which is monumental. Hardly a more simple and clear statement could be made than that God loves the world, and therefore sent His Son. Why would Pink engage in such twisting of Scripture? Simple. He did not "get" the concept of Antinomy. He reasoned that the hatred and wrath of God could not co-exist with His love."
