Coffee with John Calvin

Why Try to Be Saved if Election is True? | Reddit User Question on r/Calvinism | ep. 14

In this episode, I answer the following Reddit question from a Biblical perspective on Election: "Hello, I was introduced to Calvinism a few years ago. Right now, I'm currently unsaved whereas wrath is my final destination. My question is: if salvation is based on who is the elect, is there really any reason to worry since it is all in the hands of God? I mean because no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with what you do therefore your fate is not in your hands. I ask because though I am struggling to get saved, if I'm not the elect then I'm going to hell regardless therefore why continue trying to get saved? God has picked his chosen people whom he will save and who he will not. Is it not up to us. Someone clarify please. Still learning." Discussed are the differences in primary and secondary causes, the Gospel, and the beauty of election. --------------------------------LINKS-------------------------------- Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning]  Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN [https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN]  Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/]  -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------ Website: https://www.scifr.com [https://www.scifr.com]  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning [https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning]  X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily [https://twitter.com/SFRdaily]

Breaking Down the John 6:44 Debate | White vs. Flowers | Coffee with John Calvin ep. 13

In this video, I review the debate that James White and Leighton Flowers had on John 6:44 (which really ended up being a debate on John 6:45). I am more Reformed so I was already extremely biased in White's direction, and after reviewing the debate more thoroughly, I still feel like White's position is much more easily defended from the text they were actually debating. Each side could pull from outside texts, but the simple reality is that the text itself teaches an effective drawing of God on a particular group, the elect.#reformed #calvinism #arminianism #freewill #debate #christianity #jameswhite --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------James White & Leighton Flowers-----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

The Unregenerate Mind and The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk (A Calvinist Perspective) | ep. 12

In this episode, I look at Scripture pertaining to three areas: (1) the unregenerate mind of unbelievers, (2) God's divine plan amidst horrific evils, and (3) the necessity of declaring the Gospel so that God can work through it to save elect sinners. It is hard for us as Christians to process school shootings and assassinations, and many other horrific events in the world, but we must always know that they happen in accordance with God's plan, and He is working them out for the good of His children, and is working through His children to bring the living, abiding, and regenerative Word to lost sinners, the enemies of God. We must love our enemies by giving them our lives of service and the Gospel. #regeneration #CharlieKirk #Calvinism #Christianity #atheism #scienceandfaith #christianpodcast #christianpodcasters #christianpodcasts #christianpodcaster #christianpodcasting #sciencefaithandreasoning #sfr #TurningPointUSA #TPUSA --------------------------------LINKS--------------------------------- Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning]  Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN [https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN]  Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/]  ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------ Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------ https://www.scifr.com [https://www.scifr.com]  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning [https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning]  X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily [https://twitter.com/SFRdaily]  Our Host Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielfaucett1995 [https://www.instagram.com/danielfaucett1995]  X: https://twitter.com/danielfaucett [https://twitter.com/danielfaucett]

Reprobation & The Gift of Faith | Calvin on John 6:43-44 | ep. 011

In this episode, we look at Calvin's commentary on John 6:43-44 (NASB 1995), "43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." I discuss the concept of faith as a gift to God's elect people, His sheep, as well as the passing over, or reprobation, of those who reject Christ.
