Post-Debate Replies to Calvinistic Misconceptions
After the debate last Thursday I have recieved a number of messages and links from Calvinists with responses to my views. Today we walk through some of those point by point to help better define my intentions and the true points of contention. Emilio with Red Grace Media, one of the sponsors for the debate, wrote an article about my gesture at the end of the debate and I begin by addressing that. Then I move to discuss a podcast with two Calvinists, one of which attended the debate but left confused about my perspective. Let's dive in.

The Debate over Romans 9
I play some of the audio of the debate over Romans 9 with Dr. James White and give my initial thoughts. I also wrote an article over the major points of our contention in the debate at www.soteriology101.com. The full debate audio and video should be out soon as well. I was going to wait until the release of the video but the social media rumor mill from the many Dr. White fans who were present is framing the debate as if I didn't address Romans 9 and I want to debunk that charge by letting my listeners hear for themselves...

Romans 8 - "Flesh vs Spirit" not "Monergism vs Synergism"
We got another theme song today. We tackle Romans 8 as it relates to man's inability to submit to the law of God versus man's inablity to admit that they cannot submit to the law of God. We also touch on the interpretation of the Calvinism's "golden chain of redemption." Let's dive in! To join a discussion with Professor Flowers please visit www.soteriology101.com

Pre-Calvinism Debate Show: Message to Dr. James White
In debates the opponents often talk past each other because (1) there are various explanations within each camp and (2) the terms are not clearly defined. Today's message is an appeal to Dr. White to define some of our terms and our views of the basics so that we can be more fruitful in our discussion in a couple of weeks.

David Platt: "Does God Hate the Sin and Love the Sinner?"
Does God hate sin and love the sinner, or does God teach us that God hates sinners? Dr. David Platt got in a bit of hot water with the local media for teaching that God hates sinners, but isn't that what the bible teaches? And what does a Calvinist mean when they say God "hates a sinner" as compared to what a non-Calvinist means? Let's discuss.

James White admits he was wrong?
In the last two Dividing Line programs, Dr. James White, confronts the Traditionalist statement of SBC by attempting to redefine Federal Headship. He also confronts Dr. David Allen's accusation of his "Hyperisms." In doing so he admits that he and other Calvinists (JD Hall) have been wrong ("muddle headed") to label us Pelagians. I'm glad that Dr. White has recognized his error. Let's discuss! To join Professor Leighton Flowers and others in a discussion please visit www.soteriology101.com
