Reprobation and Boer’s Gravamen Dr. Harry Boer submitted to the 1977 CRC Synod a gravamen in which at the outset he states: “I submit herewith for synodical examination and adjudication a gravamen against the Reformed doctrine of reprobation as taught notably in the Canons of Dort, Chapter I, Article 6 and Chapter I, Article 15 […]

About Reprobation and Boer’s Gravamen

Reprobation – off hand one would hardly call this a pleasant or a delightful subject. There is something so awesome about this that we may shrink from any contemplation of it!
