Dr. Leighton Flowers discusses why passages like this don't fit within the Calvinistic system:   Luke 18:25: "For ait is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."    If a work of irresistible grace (pre-faith regeneration) is indeed the mean for faith then what difference would one's wealth make in their conversion?   Either they were el...

Dr. Leighton Flowers plays two sermons by Dr. John MacArthur which seem to present a blatant contradiction. One argues for Calvinism's doctrine of total moral inability while the other claims that one's inability is a result of continued rebellion. Is this just a paradox found in scripture? Or is this evidence of the contradictions inherent within the Calvinistic systematic?   To SUPPORT this broa...

James White tweeted a post yesterday that implied Clement of Rome's letter to Corinth demonstrated a "Calvinistic" understanding of election. Was Clement of Rome a Calvinist because he used the word "elect" a lot? No. He talked about election the same way the other early church fathers did in their writings.  To SUPPORT this broadcast, please click here: https://soteriology101.com/support/   Subsc...

Dr. Leighton Flowers engages with a recent clip from the Shepherd's conference #shepcon2023 by Dr. John MacArthur, which is focused on the Remnant, but who are the Remnant in scripture?

Dr. Leighton Flowers talks about the tendencies of every group to produce "cage-stagers" and what we should do about it. Often it's  #Calvinism accused of being marked by a cage-stage (convert others at all costs) but it exists everywhere: "Cage-staggers" in any discipline are marked by a greater love for the practice than the person. Avoiding this stage only comes by means of patience and prayer....
