An Answer To The Birmingham Dialogue-Writer (Part 2)

Summary

The sermon addresses theological controversies raised by the Birmingham Dialogue Writer, focusing on key doctrines such as the divinity of Christ, election, original sin, free will, imputed righteousness, perseverance, and baptism. It defends the absolute deity and equality of Christ with the Father, refuting claims of subordinate deity and emphasizing scriptural evidence for Christ's supreme divinity. The sermon also defends the doctrine of election against charges of cruelty, injustice, and insincerity, arguing that God's mercy is sovereign and that election secures salvation for the elect. Throughout, it stresses the consistency of these doctrines with Scripture and reason, while critiquing opposing views as misrepresentations or misunderstandings.
