Episodes

Do Father, Son, and Spirit Have Their Own Distinct "Self-Awareness"? 20.10.2021

From James White to Jeff Johnson, the assertion that each Person of the Trinity possess their own distinct self-consciousness, or self-awareness, is being taken for granted. We should deny this with all vehemence.

Natural Revelation vs(?) Natural Theology 19.10.2021

Hopefully, I can make some clarifications here and help my interlocutors understand where the classical theists are coming from.

The Importance of Interpreting Scripture Theologically 18.10.2021

There are some theological assumptions we must make and readily accept in the biblical interpretational enterprise, e.g. a doctrine of God.

Response to James White (Part IV) 15.10.2021

The fourth (and final) part of my YouTube response to James White.

Response to James White (Part III) 15.10.2021

The third part of my YouTube response to James White.

Response to James White (Part II) 15.10.2021

Response to James White (Part I) 15.10.2021

God's Word Denies Motion in God 15.10.2021

Exegeting James 1:17 , contra process theists.

Rejecting Augustinian Theology Proper? 11.10.2021

Lately, it has been the fad to out Thomism as another step toward Romanism. But such a fad is leading many not to differ with Thomas so much as it's leading them to deny Augustinian theology proper, which has always been understood to be nothing short of apostolic doctrine.

How Denying Pure Actuality in God Kicks Open the Door for CRT 07.10.2021

Why must we maintain strong theology proper in terms of immutability and simplicity? Because the rejection of it is also the rejection of all objective meaning.

Aristotle & the Infallibility of Scripture 06.10.2021

Jettisoning truth because of its association with a person is a fatal mistake for any theologian to make, as is hopefully made obvious here.

Should We Compromise on the Doctrine of God for the Sake of a Conference? 05.10.2021

Why does it seem like the doctrine of God is being relegated to a secondary or even tertiary issue?

William Lane Craig on the Historical Adam 27.09.2021

William Lane Craig's article on the historical Adam is set to make a splash, even before his book on the matter publishes. While he affirms a historical Adam, he gets there through the natural sciences rather than the text of Holy Writ—choosing instead to mythologize most of Genesis 1-11.

Francis Turretin on the Relation of Natural Theology to Supernatural Theology 16.09.2021

Lots has been said about what the historically Reformed believed concerning man's reason and its use of natural theology. Hear from Francis Turretin how the Reformed of his day viewed natural theology and its relationship to supernatural theology. Also, Turretin gives (5) present uses for natural theology in this life.

Does Jeffrey Johnson Deny Divine Immutability? 15.09.2021

An article by Dr. Jeffrey Johnson denies the doctrine of immutability.

Junius, Witsius, Van Mastrict, Edwards, & Thomistic Natural Theology 01.09.2021

Dr. Owen Strachan has shot more than one canon ball over the bow of those who have departed from theistic personalism and presuppositionalism. These shots over the bow have been quite embarrassing from a scholarly perspective, to say the least. In this video, I will once more labor to demonstrate the natural theology of the Reformers and the post-Reformed, much of which is in continuity with Thoma...

The Orthodoxy of Natural Theology: Savoy Independents & Particular Baptists 01.09.2021

In this last part of my two-part mini series on natural theology, I will look at natural theology as it appears in the Savoy Declaration, the 2nd London Baptist Confession & Keach's Catechism.

The Orthodoxy of Natural Theology: The Reformed 01.09.2021

In this first installment of a two-part special, I will look at natural theology as it appears in confessional Reformed orthodoxy. In the next part, I will look at the natural theology of Particular Baptist confessional orthodoxy.

A Brief Biblical Theology of New Birth 30.08.2021

The new birth is obviously redemptively significant, but it is also thematically significant tying, as it were, all of Scripture together. How can we begin to think of the new birth along these lines? Website: joshsommer.org Affiliate: reformedpodcasts.com

Applying the Notion of "Motive" to Government 24.08.2021

Why do we not ask, "Why is the government behaving the way it currently behaves? What is its motive?" We ask this question in everyday scenarios, but why leave the greatest earthly institution untouched by the question of motive?

Liberty, Slavery, & America 20.08.2021

Slavery is not an intrinsically sinful concept, but how it has appeared throughout history at various times has indeed been sinful.

Covenantal Calvinism 09.08.2021

Defending limited atonement from the New Covenant (covenant of grace).

Gnosticism, Earth, & Heaven 05.08.2021

In what sense(s) is earth and heaven distinguished in Scripture? Is it always a material separation?

Our Duty to Make the Gospel Look Beautiful 04.08.2021

Is it right to say we should make the gospel look good? Isn't the gospel good in itself? Isn't this seeker-sensitive, Arminian language?

If They've Been Sprinkled, Do They Need Baptism? 25.06.2021

This episode is in response to a great question from Jacob on YouTube. What do we do if a "recovering" Lutheran wants to join a Baptist church? Do they need to be baptized if they've been sprinkled?
