Apologetics from the Attic

In this episode, we continue our study of the book of Romans. We look at how Paul has the Exodus narrative in the background as the type of which Christ is the fulfillment.

In this episode, we continue talking about systematic theology. We discuss the role of theological study, and whether it is intellectual or practical. What is the relationship between knowledge and practice?

In this episode we wrap up our review of the White/Flowers debate on John 6:44. This is where the debate really gets heated, and especially Dr. Flowers kind of loses his cool and he departs substantially from the topic of the debate and wanders off into subjects to toss choice red meat to his base. Enjoy! 

In this episode we continue our study of the book of Romans. We looked at the concept of being set free from sin and becoming a slave of righteousness in Romans 6:15-23...and we discover that Paul's autobiographical description in Romans 7:14-25 fits this description. We talk about true repentance and other related issues. 

In this episode we continue our review of the White/Flowers debate on John 6:44 We make it through Dr. White's first cross ex of Dr. Flowers and Dr. Flowers first cross ex of Dr. White.  This is where the debate gets interesting. 

In this episode, we continue our study of what Paul means when he says we "died to sin". To do this I show how Paul explains the indicatives of 6:1-14 in 7:1-13. We go over the marraige analogy that Paul works from and we see Paul's own experience of dying to sin. 

In this episode, we continue our review of the John 6:44 debate between Flowers and White. We finish up Dr. Flowers opening statement, and look at his use of John 10, John 3 and his understanding of how John 6:45 and his interpretation of it is to be read back into the entirety of John 6:35-44.  Next time we will begin looking at the cross examination period.  Episode done by Rogue Calvinist Chann...

In this new episode of our study of the book of Romans, we introduce a very important but very difficult section of Romans: chapters 6 and 7. Here we lay the groundwork for future episodes, by talking about the relationship of these two chapters, looking at Paul's understanding of the role of the Law, and talking about the difference between the indicative and the imperative. 

In this episode, I review parts of the video released by American Gospel, where Sam Storms and Michael Brown have a conversation with Jim Osman and Justin Peters on the topic of the charismatic movement and if the leading figures are false teachers or if they are headed for hell.  Both sides make several good points, but the conveersation also goes off the rails at points. This is an excellent opp...

In this episode, we begin a review of the recent debate between James White and Leighton Flowers.

In this episode I begin with some comments about the "online world" of theology and apologetics. Then we continue our study through the book of Romans. We walk through this passage and define the terms and show what all who are "in Adam" recieve from Adam and we also look at what all who are "in Christ" recieve from him. We also read a passage from The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges on the f...

Then we start to cover Semi-Augustin...

In this episode ,we continue our verse by verse study of the book of Romans and we look at the controversial question of what it means that death spread to all men, "because all sinned". What does this phrase mean? Does it simply mean that all humans born from Adam inherit a sin nature and will eventually sin and die? Or is there something more Paul is saying here? Tune in and find out! We also lo...

In this special live episode, Pastor Steve Vinay from Abiding Grace Church joins us to walk through James 2 and Romans 4, to discuss how James and Paul are actually standing back to back fighting against 2 different issues, rather than seeing them as contradicting each other.
