A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 12 - Understanding Human Inability, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We address Comer's claims that the problems the world is facing today could be solved if Christians would become apprentices of Jesus and compare it to Charles Finney's Pelagian moral government theory. Both lack an understanding of human inability. (duration 00:22:57) Click here to play [https://cicministry.org/audio/radio/20250714_cic_radio-A_Critique_of_Practicing_the_Way_Part_12.mp3]

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 11 - Definition by Imagination, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We show that Comer's teaching is based on imagination - what one thinks Jesus would do - not what Scripture calls us to do. Gods moral will is revealed to us in Scripture, and it is true of all believers. "What Would Jesus Do?" is theological liberalism.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 10 - The Grumbling Heart of Unbelievers, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We continue our discussion of the healing at Bethesda in John 5 and include a brief overview of John 6. These passages clearly demonstrate the sin nature. Though the lame man was healed and the crowd was fed, they grumbled and remained in their unbelief.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 9 - True Followers of the One True Jesus, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We discuss how the term "followers of Jesus" is misused in Comer's book and contrast it with the biblical term saint, meaning sanctified one. True followers are those who repent and believe the gospel, and we must determine who the true Jesus is as well.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 8 - The Uniqueness of the Apostles, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. 1John 1:1-3 clearly describes the objectivity of the incarnation. John's relationship with Jesus as an apostle was unique and tangible in ways that aren't true of believers today. John describes how we can have fellowship with Him, not be His apprentices.
