Ep. 116 One Person or Three Persons: Does it Matter?

Text Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1916054/fan_mail/new] On this episode, we address a question that was posed by a listener. He asked, "does it matter how many persons there are within the Godhead?".

Ep. 115 Were They Truly of Us? An Arminian Look at 1John 2:19

Text Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1916054/fan_mail/new] We are continuing our examination of Scriptural verses that are leaned on heavily by Calvinists to defend their doctrinal stance. When John states, "they went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us..." in 1John 2:19, is he describing average individuals that claim to have fellowship with the true church? Or, is there something more that John is intending to communicate in this verse? Those are the questions we seek to address in this episode.

Ep. 113 Paul Went Against the Culture

Text Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1916054/fan_mail/new] We continue our discussion of Ephesians 5. In this episode, we capitalize on a perspective of Ephesians 5 that seems contrary to the narrative that is often pushed. Many have argued that Paul was dealing in a patriarchal society, and many of the commands he gave was in regard to that societal mindset. However, is that really the case, or was Paul actually addressing issues that had arisen as the culture began to shift toward an embrace of egalitarianism?  If you would like to purchase the commentary that was referenced in this episode, you can find it here: https://a.co/d/03wYDZjZ To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.

Ep. 112 Are All Doctrines Equal?

Text Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1916054/fan_mail/new] On this episode, we spend some time discussing a book written by Gavin Ortlund titled, "Finding the Right Hills to Die On: A Case for Theological Triage". In this book, Dr. Ortlund gives some helpful examples and arguments as to how a believer should categorize various doctrines. In all things, as Dr. Ortlund states, we should ultimately desire Godliness, and promote the welfare of the body of Christ!
