John Robbins, along with Gordon Clark, exemplified Scriptural exegesis and apologetics beautifully. His lectures on philosophy, economics, justification, etc. are worth listening to repeatedly (MP3’s at http://www.trinityfoundation.org). I am presently working through his book on Ayn Rand (Without a Prayer) which I believe will become increasingly pertinent during increasingly unstable political and economic times here in America in our move toward Statism. God help us all to think more rationally and more Biblically as we disseminate and defend the faith and cast down all ungodly thought that exalts itself against the truth.

I first learned of John Robbin’s passing sometime after I had ordered books from his websight. He was very different from most of the Bible teachers that I had studied and listen to. Recently, I had listened to his posted lectures on Auburn Ave theology and was totally uplifted by them. Robbins’ presentation was clear and concise. He focused on precision and accuracy in his arguments. He cited many references and gave frequent quotations. One of the most fond recollections that I have was Dr. Robbins’ qaulity of being a gentleman in dealing with those in his audience and panel during the conferences that I listened to. A great man by God’s grace has gone on to be with Lord, but he has left us a great legacy.

I first began to read the Bible in 1993. Very recently my very good friend and brother (in both senses) died. It was through this event that I have come accross Dr. Robbins work. I wanted to thank Dr. Robbins for being faithful to scripture and for reminding me that my primary purpose in life is to obey God. To obey God one must understand His council. To understand His council we must become intimate with Logic. This is a true blessing to my family and I.

I just this week found Trinity Foundation and began reading Logic by Clark. His lectures have been immensely helpful for me in understanding the book and seeing the vital importance of logic. I am just starting to scratch the surface of his work, but I believe it will turn out to be pivotal in my Christian walk. Thank you, Mr. Robbins for your commitment to truth and thank you God for your servant Mr. Robbins.

The news of John Robbins passing initially brought to me a sinking feeling; but then followed a thankfulness to God for using him in such a great way.
He was a great defender of the faith. Because of him I consider my library complete with the Bible alongside the books of John Robbins and Gordon Clark.

It was my privilege, along with Dr. Mark Evans (Hope Presbyterian Church, Greenville, SC) to preach at John’s funeral.

John had chosen wonderful hymns, and we sang three in the service and three more at the graveside. They all contain such marvelous, Biblical words that speak of the faith in which we stand, and the warfare in which we now engage: “I Greet Thee Who My Sure Redeemer Art” — “Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ” — “Not What My Hands Have Done” — “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” — “Our God, Our Help in Ages Past” — “Abide With Me”. Take a look at the words again. They will encourage your hearts!

In Christ’s service,
Rev. Paul M. Elliott

I recently read some info re: The White Horse Inn and its weak stand on Truth. Rather than condemn lies from all corners (RCC for instance or an unbelieving Vampire author’ or a God-hating Jew ) it appears that they, like other “radio shows” have given a platform for such nonsense. I found Robbin’s strong stand refreshing and encouraging. I’m sure he must have gotten a lot of flack from many Reformed people for touching the anointed. But I truly appreciated his tenacious stand against error wherever it came from, no matter the “name” or “ministry”. Truth after all, trumps everything.

I am sad to hear that John W. Robbins has died. Before I stumbled upon the Trinity Foundation and the writings of Robbins and Clark 6 months ago, I did not have a sure belief in the Bible, nor did I have a mature Calvinistic worldview. Thanks to Robbins hard work, I now have a sure faith in the true gospel as revealed in God’s infallible Word. I regret not getting around to personally thanking the man before he when home to be with the Lord. I know some of his writings came off as being a bit harsh, but that just shows his passion for guarding the Truth. If we are to have another reformation, we Christians like him to boldly defend the gospel from all heresies.

Hi Stephen,

How many postings have I done on here? Does your system have a count? There is no way I will spend 10 hours in an attempt to find such a thing.

Also, your comment RSS and your content RSS hasn’t worked since you’ve listed the rules on here. It goes to page not found. I’ve tried this on 2 separate computers.

Evidence of absense is not absense of evidence. In this case I will commit the logical fallacy upon myself and say absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

He was mocked via an argument I used way back when I started this blog somewhere. Who knows where it is.

Again, if you would like me to leave this blog so be it. It will be the end of BIblical challenges. Most challengers on here are Pagan.

I will continue my prayers for Morey.
