During AK Richardson 's debate with James White on Romans 9 on Thursday evening, he gave me a shout out! He mentioned the debate He and I had on perseverance of the saints, and the section where we debated Romans 8 on the topic. This debate took place several years ago on the IrresistibleTruth  channel and we each chose three passages of Scripture which we felt best taught our position. Please enjoy this throwback episode and I apo...

Packer to the Banner of Truth Edition of John Owen's "Death of Death in the Death of Christ". This intro deserves to be read regularly by those who want to understand the issues at stake between Calvinism and Arminianism.

This discussion took place on  @Soteriology101  We look at the 4 terms that Dr. Allen says are crucial to understanding the issues at stake. We also look at Dan Chapa's McDonald's fries analogy, which I change to the Chick Fil-A fried analogy :)

In this episode, we read through a chapter in Curt Daniel's book "The History & Theology of Calvinism" where he details the Reformed view of Limited Atonement. We cover what he sees and the consensus in their writings and go over many quotes. This is in preparation as I am planning several response videos to Dr. David Allen and Dan Chapa on their response to the recent Limited Atonement debate.

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. We see how having this more in depth knowledge of the history will equip you to respond to non-calvinists and their claims about Pelagianism a...

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". It is an excellent study of Biblical texts that teach us that there must be 2 answers to why things happen in history, and not just 1. You were determined from the foundation of the world to watch this video, but you also freely chose to watch it! Enjoy

In this episode, I respond to comments made on a recent video posted by  @TheProvisionistPerspective  where they respond to Chris Date's response to Braxton Hunter asking him to respond to non-calvinist proof texts! :) My concern here isn't necessarily to defend calvinism per se, but to caution that the desire to come against "determinism" in Calvinism can push one to the other extreme and end up denying key elements of the gospel....
