TIMESTAMPS HERE IN SHOW NOTES.

Over the summer we did a series on Calvinism. However, that series was missing serious interaction from beliefs on the other side of the theological spectrum, namely Arminianism. Today, I get to interact with the head of the Biblical Studies department at Columbia Bible College, Jerry Pauls, on this very subject.

This was a fascinating conversation with Jerry, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you - not only for the brotherly heart behind our disagreements, but because we were able to go to deep places and come away enriched by each other.

Enjoy (and let me know what other type of interviews you might like).

[00:26] Introduction - how this conversation came to be.

[05:40] Why does this conversation matter? Can we keep unity despite theological differences?

[09:02] What is Arminianism?

[13:30] How did you (Jerry) come to embrace Arminian theology?

[21:20] What Scripture passages are important to Arminian theology?

[24:10] What weakness do you see in Arminian theology?

[28:28] What are common misconceptions of Arminianism?

[37:59] How do you as an Arminian understand Ephesians 1:3-5?

[1:04:54] How do you understand God's sovereignty and human free will?

[1:20:57] Do you believe in eternal security? Especially as Jesus seems to speak of it in John 10:27-28.

[1:37:09] An Arminian explanation of Romans 9-11.

[1:51:02] Conclusion - unity despite difference.
