Welcome to Always Ready, a production of The Christian Manifesto. In this episode, I continue my 5-part series discussing some doctrines I believe we as the church need to be especially clear about. I started with the doctrine of Scripture in the first week and today I move on to answer the question, "does God change?" What is the doctrine of immutability and what impact does it have upon our lives? Join me as I explore what Scripture says about this doctrine.

In this episode, I critically interacted with some views held by Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Here are the quotes I discussed: 

"Jesus Christ is the Redeemer, the firstborn of Heavenly Father’s spirit children, the Creator of all things, the head of the Church, and the first to be resurrected." https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/new-testament-study-guide-for-home-study-seminary-students/introduction-to-colossians/unit-26-day-1-colossians?lang=eng

"God created Jesus before creating Adam. In fact, God created Jesus and then used him to make everything else, including the angels. That is why the Bible calls Jesus “the firstborn of all creation” by God." https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/wp20130301/when-jesus-created-why-son/

Welcome to Always Ready, a production of The Christian Manifesto. In this episode, I begin a 5-part series discussing some doctrines I believe we as the church need to be especially clear about. I start with the doctrine of Scripture. What is the right view of the Word of God and specifically why is the sufficiency of Scripture important? What does it mean for the Bible to be inerrant, infallible, inspired, and sufficient? Join me as I explore all of these issues.

“Rather than listing 420 genuine contradictions in the Scripture, the critic has actually given 420 examples of his own incompetence, lack of reading comprehension skills, and lack of critical thinking skills.” (Jason Lisle, Keeping Faith In An Age of Reason, p. 235).  

“Therefore, the Bible is not a disparate hodge-podge of stories, laws, and promises to Israel, but a unified revelation that progressively leads us to Jesus Christ, and then, in the New Testament, reflects deeply upon His finished work, present activity, and future appearing.” (Beeke and Smalley, Reformed Systematic Theology: Revelation and God, p. 360)  

“Christianity is not just a series of truths, but Truth – Truth about all of reality.” (Francis Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto, p. 20)

Hello friends,  

Welcome to Always Ready, a production of The Christian Manifesto. In this episode, I examine some recent research as to the dominant worldview in America today. What is the belief system influencing America the most and how do we respond faithfully as Christians? Join me as I explore all of these issues.

Syncretism definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/syncretism 

“If society needs abortion rights to keep women happy, then the law must be made to yield to such results. If society requires the affirmation of certain sexual activities and identities to affirm certain classes of individuals, then the law must be made to yield those results-even if the methods used to achieve these two results are inconsistent with each other and perhaps even antithetical.” (Carl Trueman, The Rise and Triumph of The Modern Self, p. 307)  

“In therapeutic culture, which as everywhere triumphed, the great sin is to stand in the way of the freedom of others to find happiness as they wish.” (Rod Dreher, Live Not By Lies, p. 13)

Hello friends,  

Welcome to Always Ready, a production of The Christian Manifesto. In this episode, I examine the subject of whether or not we as humans can know truth. Is it impossible for us to know truth from our individual, finite, human experiences or can we know truth because it is revealed by God? Join me as I explore all of these issues.

Article from ABC News by Matthew Dowd: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/objective-truths-life-world/story?id=22796964 

Article from Dr. Esau McCaulley: https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/23/why-it-matters-if-your-bible-was-translated-by-racially-diverse-group/ 

"And taking the creation doctrine seriously involved thinking of man in his whole constitutional make-up as himself revelational of God. Being himself exhaustively revelation of God he is in all his activities dependent of God. The constitution of his mind therefore interposes no obstruction to any form of revelation that might come to it. Being itself revelation, the mind of man is made for the reception of revelation." (Cornelius Van Til, An Introduction to Systematic Theology, p. 162)  

"We, on the contrary, hold that God as absolute Light is back of the facts of the universe. We hold that the atom is mysterious for us, but not for God. . . Christians say that we as creatures do not need to and should not expect to comprehend anything fully. God comprehends fully and that is enough for us. God’s full comprehension gives validity to our partial comprehension." (Cornelius Van Til, An Introduction to Systematic Theology, p. 25)

Hello friends,  

Welcome to Always Ready, a production of The Christian Manifesto. In this episode, I examine the subject of worldview. What does it look like for us to see individual beliefs in our society while also being able to understand the systems of thought that drive those ideas? How is this concept of worldview helpful and how can we as Christians have a biblical worldview? Join me as I explore all of these issues.

Here are the notes from this episode:  

Understanding The Christian Worldview: https://thechristianmanifesto.org/25/understandingthechristianworldview 

“We all have a way of thinking about the world – a worldview. Our worldview contains our most strongly held convictions about how the world works: how it came to be, the nature of reality, the nature of truth, and how we should live.” (Jason Lisle, The Ultimate Proof of Creation, p. 25) 

“The Basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so, in regard to society and in regard to government, is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals.” (Francis Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto, p. 17)  

Definition of Antithesis: http://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/antithesis 

“The Bible is thought of as authoritative on everything of which it speaks. Moreover, it speaks of everything.” (Cornelius Van Til, Christian Apologetics, p. 19)
