On today's program I answered two listener question s. The first had to do with the idea of prevenient grace in Arminianism and Lutheranism.

I discussed antinomianism in reference to Reformed theologian Mark Jones' book on the subject.

On today's program, I continued my response to Karlo Broussard on purgatory. I dealt with his arguments from Scripture. The two texts addressed are from 1 Corintians 3, and Matthew 5. It was demonstrated that these two texts do not say anything about purgatory.

A discussion of the doctrine of the imputation of Christ's active obedience.
