Theological Content I Cannot Repost
For some reason several good websites have articles I want to share but they will not connect with my WordPress site. So far as I know the issue is at their end, not mine. Anyway, here are two sites that I have recently wanted to proliferate their content but couldn’t: Frame-Poythress.org (free e-book page), and fredfredfred.com (blog).

Double Predestination and Annihilation of the Wicked are Complementary
https://www.crossway.org/articles/is-double-predestination-fair/ Only the devil, beast, and false prophet of Rev. 20.10 will have everlasting torment according to that text.

The Devil’s Bargain: You Will Be Like God-Gen. 3.5
https://www.crossway.org/articles/what-is-sin-video/ What did sin get us? Death, dead to God just as He said. The devil claimed that we would be like God if the first couple ate the fruit but that was a hollow advantage. In fact, the couple were already like God in creation since they were created in His image.
