James White on Romans 9 and Man's Libertarian Free Will
Dr. Leighton Flowers plays clips from a recent debate over Romans 9 between AK Richardson and James White in which White admits that God created Adam and Eve with Libertarian Free Will (LFW), but seems to think God, in His sovereignty, would not be able to bring about His purposes if mankind maintained that level of freedom. We disagree because we think God is powerful enough to handle not only ONE free will choice, but KATRILLIONS.

Fallacious Arguments by Rogue Calvinists
Warren McGrew joins me again to respond to another really bad argument by a rogue Calvinist. We will specifically address the Calvinistic interpretation of Romans 8:7-9 as it relates to the "ordo salutis" (logical order of events in salvation) from the Reformed/Calvinistic perspective, which is based on logic that goes something like this: 1. If you're in the flesh you cannot please God 2. Believing in Christ would please God 3. Therefore, you cannot believe in Jesus because that would please God Which is a non-sequitur. This example makes the fallacy very clear: 1. If you're playing in mud you cannot please mom. 2. Leaving the mud and cleaning up would please mom. 3. Therefore, you cannot leave the mud and clean up because that would please mom. The Calvinist comes to the text with presumptions that simply are not supported by this text, or any other.
