In this video, We read through a section of Phillip Schaff's "History of the Christian Church" entitled External History of the Pelagian Controversy. We discover that the controversy between Pelagius and Augustine is much more complicated and detailed than many modern accounts you will hear.

In this video, we review a video posted by  @Soteriology101  where Dr. Leighton Flowers has a conversion with  @TwitchyTheologian  about Acts 28 and Genesis 4. We explore how Dr. Flowers presuppositions about original sin and human responsibility in his refuting of Calvinism, if applied to matters of the core Gospel message end up eroding the very foundations of the Gospel.

In this episode, we look at the excellent article written by Bruce Ware entitled "The Compatibility of Determinism and Human Freedom" in the book "Whoever He Wills".

You were determined from the foundation of the world to watch this video, but you also freely chose to watch it! Enjoy
