In this episode we review Dr. Tim Stratton's opening statement from his debate with Dr. James White that occurred February 15, 2022 on the topic "Is Molinism Biblical". We play the entirety of Dr. Stratton's opening statement and see if he made the case that the concept of Middle Knowledge and libertarian free-will is found in the Bible.

In this new episode of AFA, (been a little while) we talk about the evolution of how we find and consume information with a little help from Ben Shapiro. Then I walk through 2 different grids that can be helpful in filtering through and organizing all of the biblical and theological information that is flowing through the world wide web.

We continue our study of the book of Romans by beginning the section starting with 1:18-3:20. We walk through until 1:24 and then look at the book cam! We read from Herman Hoeksema, Haldane and Karl Barth!

In this episode, we continue our study of the book of Romans. I am excited to reveal my new "book cam" where I can show a book while I am reading it! Maybe I am more excited about this than most people! Anyway...we look at the personal greeting of Paul to the Roman Christians and we talk about Paul's purpose for writing the letter, the historical situation of Paul and a little about the nature and origin of this little group of Christians in Rome.

Back after another break! Today I launch a new series where we study the book of Romans. In this episode, we look at the introduction in 1:1-7 and look at where we are headed with chapters 1-3.

In this episode we complete our review of Pastor Jeff Durbin's sermon. With the rise of public resistance and revolt against the COVID vaccine mandate among police officers, firefighters and other public employees, this issue is becoming more and more relevant. We as Christians need to be clear on our stance on this, and not divide the body of Christ unnecessarily. We continue in our respect for Pastor Jeff's position on this issue, but question if he is wrong to make this a matter of conscience?

In this episode I begin a review of Pastor Jeff Durbin's sermon entitled "A Christian Response to Mandatory cookies". In this review I try to make the point that whether you choose to take the vaccine or not, it should be a matter of personal choice, and pastors should not promote a context where Christians are made to feel guilty or have their consciences held captive based on the choice they make.

In Part two, we conclude our review of an interview by Sean McDowell with Dr. William Lane Craig discussing his new book about the "historical Adam" and how he thinks that Genesis 1-11 is mytho-history. We continue to explore the presuppositional nature of Dr. Craig's framework & proposal and the slippery slope it creates for one's entire view of the Bible.

In this new episode, we look at an interview Dr. Craig did with Sean McDowell on his new book, The Quest for the Historical Adam. We begin to look at the concept of "mytho-history" and the slippery slope of relegating portions of the Bible as myth in order to make them acceptable to the unbelieving scientific community.
