    Who first used the term “unpardonable sin”

    Hello brothers and sisters. My question is not on what the unpardonable sin is, at all. My question is, who first coined the term(s), or who first used the term(s), “unforgivable sin” and “unpardonable sin”? These terms are nowhere in the Bible. I know the scriptures they represent, but who...

    Romans 9 Question

    Blessings Brothers and Sisters, Does anyone have articles or links they can send me on the early Church’s’ interpretation of Romans 9? What I have found thus far is the early Church did not look at Romans 9 in a double predestination sense. I have not found many articles though, very few...

    Any patristic sources on 1 Timothy 2:11-12 that address whether the context is the church?

    1 Timothy 2:11-12 has been variously understood. One view I recently heard is that it teaches women to be silent not only in church, as is the case in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, but also in secular matters. After making several contextual arguments for women not to teach with authority, this...
