WARNING: Jesse Morrell who is here on Youtube under the screen name of JesseMorrell ( http://youtube.com/user/JesseMorrell ) is a vigorous proponent of Pelagian's heresies. He has such an affinity for Pelagius and his heresies that he is on record for saying, "I think some people will be surprised when they see that Charles Finney is in Heaven but Augustine and John Calvin are in hell." He then provides an example of what the logical outcome of Pelagianism will lead a person to (self-righteousness): "Honestly, my heart is right before God." Here, we learn that the heart which is "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" of which the Holy Spirit inspired Jeremiah to ask the rhetorical question, "Who can know it?" (Jer. 17:9) has apparently been figured out by Mr. Morrell as evidenced by his claim that he knows his heart is right before God. You can read these quotes here for yourself along with others he has made: http://youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=Ff1l_xqSTJI&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3DFf1l_xqSTJI Beware of the theology put forth by his Youtube channel. It is not Biblical. Pelagianism is a theological theory named after Pelagius (ca. 354 -- ca. 420/440). It is the belief that original sin did not taint human nature (which God called very good), and that mortal will is still capable of choosing good or evil without Divine aid. Thus, Adam's sin was "to set a bad example" for his progeny, but his actions did not have the other consequences imputed to Original Sin. Pelagianism views the role of Jesus as "setting a good example" for the rest of humanity (thus counteracting Adam's bad example). In short, humanity has full control, and thus full responsibility, for its own salvation in addition to full responsibility for every sin (the latter insisted upon by both proponents and opponents of Pelagianism). According to Pelagian doctrine, because humanity does not require God's grace for salvation (beyond the creation of will), Jesus' execution is devoid of the redemptive quality ascribed to it by orthodox Christian theology. - Wikipedia (pelagianism) Here's Augustine's Anti-Pelagian writings for free download: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf105.html Here are the creeds of the Council of Orange who condemned Pelagius' teachings: http://www.creeds.net/ancient/orange.htm http://www.whitehorseinn.org

Part I

In this video I get into Lou's Pelagian/Semi/Pelagian theology. Lou claims that he is not Pelagian. Listen to the sound bites and you make the decision.

In this final instalment I show how Louis Ruggerio's theology argues with itself. There are also examples of Lou stubling through answers that he clearly sees, but decides to hold on to his tradition.

How did the debate with James White Vs. Louis Ruggerio really go down?

Evangelist Kerrigan Skelly of PinPoint Evangelism (www.pinpointevangelism.com) is shown here preaching at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. So many times, professing Christians are confused. They think that it is a sin to stop sinning. They think it is a sin to obey God, so they stand up for sin and unrighteousness!

How did the debate really go down?

"I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. I do not believe we can preach the gospel, if we do not preach justification by faith, without works; nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in His dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah; nor do I think we can preach the gospel, unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His elect and chosen people which Christ wrought out upon the cross; nor can I comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called, and suffers the children of God to be burned in the fires of damnation after having once believed in Jesus. Such a gospel I abhor." - C.H. Spurgeon A Defense of Calvinism: http://www.spurgeon.org/calvinis.htm Thanks to Henry Velez of http://www.intruth.net for providing the narration for the video.

How can man be tempted? How was Adam and Eve tempted to sin even without a "sinful nature"? Is a sinful nature necessary for sin to occur? Does universal sin prove a universal sinful nature or does it prove universal temptation?

Just a glimpse of what to expect. It will be up soon, Lord willing.

Mr. Rugg wants a debate - BRING IT ON!!!

What about "good people"? What about religiously flawless people? Answer: thinking they somehow have an innate goodness or quality that makes God save or reward them, they actually deny the completeness of Christ's work. Self righteous people do not accept dying on the cross. And by doing all kinds of religious things, and by filling themselves with so called knowledge, they are busy ignoring the Holy Spirit and searing their conscience. Instead of being in God's mercy, they are still under His wrath.

Moving towards an understanding of Original Sin and Salvation.
