Coffee with John Calvin

In this episode, I read through a small excerpt from a Martin Luther Christmas sermon and look at how desperately our modern American culture needs to hear this message. I have provided the excerpt below:

"He is the sole redeemer of man from the thralldome of sin and the gates of death. He alone is the hope of any enduring society upon earth. Where men do not know Bethlehem's babe they rave and rage and strive. The angels proclaimed peace on earth, and so shall it be to those who know and receive this Babe. For what is it like where Jesus Christ is not? What is the world if not a perfect hell with nothing but lying, cheating, gluttony, guzzling, lechery, brawling, and murder. That is the very Devil himself. There is no kindliness nor honor. No one is sure of another. One must be as distrustful of friends as of enemies, and sometimes more. This is the kingdom of the world where the Devil reigns and rules. But the angels show in their song that those who know and accept the Child Jesus not only give honor to God but treat their fellow men as if they were gods, with peaceable demeanor, glad to help and counsel any man. They are free from envy and wrangling, for the Christian way is quiet and friendly in peace and brotherly love where each gladly does the best he can for another." - Martin Luther

This episode is a response to the post below by Soteriology 101 on YouTube. I have copied the text from the post below:

"Calvinists: God's choice is unconditional.

1 Corinthians 1:27–29: “God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world.”

Those are conditions.

Calvinist: God caused them to meet those conditions by graciously effectual means.

Where does it say that in the Bible?"

In 1st Corinthians Paul talks about God choosing what is low in the world, people who are not wise, people who are not royal, does this mean God's election is conditional? Join us in this episode where we establish the teaching of unconditional election and look at 1st Corinthians 1:18-31 in its proper context.

One of the most humbling truths in the Bible is the teaching that all men are born fallen in Adam. The biblical picture of what it means to be spiritually dead in that condition is one of inability, one of being an enemy, and one of wandering into sin as lost sheep. In other words, we do not seek God, far from it, we seek sin. But it is through God's love that His grace powerfully and effectually changes us in a moment through the preaching of the Gospel, whereby faith is bestowed as a gift.Related to this biblical anthropology is the topic of whether or not the word "choice" should be used of humans, or of only Jesus Christ, and why translations render the word Eklektos differently in certain passages when referring to either Jesus or humans.

In this episode, I answer the following Reddit question from a Biblical perspective on Election:

"Hello, I was introduced to Calvinism a few years ago. Right now, I'm currently unsaved whereas wrath is my final destination. My question is: if salvation is based on who is the elect, is there really any reason to worry since it is all in the hands of God? I mean because no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with what you do therefore your fate is not in your hands. I ask because though I am struggling to get saved, if I'm not the elect then I'm going to hell regardless therefore why continue trying to get saved? God has picked his chosen people whom he will save and who he will not. Is it not up to us. Someone clarify please. Still learning."

Discussed are the differences in primary and secondary causes, the Gospel, and the beauty of election.

In this video, I review the debate that James White and Leighton Flowers had on John 6:44 (which really ended up being a debate on John 6:45). I am more Reformed so I was already extremely biased in White's direction, and after reviewing the debate more thoroughly, I still feel like White's position is much more easily defended from the text they were actually debating. Each side could pull from outside texts, but the simple reality is that the text itself teaches an effective drawing of God on a particular group, the elect.#reformed #calvinism #arminianism #freewill #debate #christianity #jameswhite --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------James White & Leighton Flowers-----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this episode, I look at Scripture pertaining to three areas: (1) the unregenerate mind of unbelievers, (2) God's divine plan amidst horrific evils, and (3) the necessity of declaring the Gospel so that God can work through it to save elect sinners. It is hard for us as Christians to process school shootings and assassinations, and many other horrific events in the world, but we must always know that they happen in accordance with God's plan, and He is working them out for the good of His children, and is working through His children to bring the living, abiding, and regenerative Word to lost sinners, the enemies of God. We must love our enemies by giving them our lives of service and the Gospel.

In this episode, we look at Calvin's commentary on John 6:43-44 (NASB 1995), "43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day."

I discuss the concept of faith as a gift to God's elect people, His sheep, as well as the passing over, or reprobation, of those who reject Christ.

In this episode, we look at Calvin's commentary on John 6:41-42, as well as a clip from Ben Shapiro explaining the Jewish expectations of the Messiah, and how they differ from Christians.

In this episode, we dive into John 6:40, Calvin's commentaries, and other supporting texts that help us elucidate what reveals evidence that we are truly saved and predestined.

In this episode, we look at John Calvin's commentary on John 6:39. We see a clear picture of the justification and reasoning behind how we can rest assured that we have eternal security in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

We also look at some of the parallels between John 6 and John 10, that in both scenarios, we see that the Father gives the elect to the Son, just in John 10 we see that the elect are described as Sheep.
