Just and Sinner Podcast

On today's program, I played audio from a seminary my wife (Lisa Cooper) gave at the AALC National Convention this summer on evaluating women's Bible studies. She discussed common misunderstandings of Scripture and distortions of the Gospel which one should look out for. 

In this final part of a four part series on the Lutheran doctrine of the Lord's Supper, I examined the beliefs of the early church regarding the eucharist. I demonstrated that the belief in the real presence is the historic view of the church catholic.

On today's program, I continued the series on the Lord's Supper. I examined several Biblical passages which address the issue, and demonstrated the Scriptural nature of the Lutheran teaching.

On today's program, I continue my series on the Lord's Supper in the Lutheran tradition. I spent the entire hour discussing the words of institution, and especially the phrase: "This is my body." I demonstrate that the literal sense of these words should be accepted.

I began a three part program on the doctrine of the Lord's Supper. On this program I explained the Lutheran view in contrast to the Roman Catholic, Zwinglian, and Calvinistic approaches to the Sacrament.

On today’s program I finished my response to an article by Federal Vision leader Rich Lusk titled “Why the Law/Gospel Paradigm is Flawed,” which can be found here. I discussed the relationship between the law and promise, the nature of the Mosaic administration, and the broad and narrow sense of the term "Law."

On today's program I responded to an article by Federal Vision leader Rich Lusk titled "Why the Law/Gospel Paradigm is Flawed," which can be found here. The program mostly centered around the relationship between the Mosaic Law and the Abrahamic promise.

On today's program I explained the teaching known as the "Two Kinds of Righteousness," and defended its importance. I explained some of the controversy surrounding the issue, and discussed its use in the Lutheran Confessions, as well as in later Lutheran theology.

This is a continuation of my previous show on the doctrine of mystical union. I spent this program looking at this teaching in the writings of Luther, the Confessions, and in Lutheran Orthodoxy.

I was joined by Pastor Lewis Polzin of Trinity Lutheran Church in Bemidji Minnesota to continue our study of Henry Eyster Jacobs' book A Summary of the Christian Faith. We looked at chapter two titled: "The Being and Attributes of God."
