Just and Sinner Podcast

On today's program, I interacted with a lecture by Roman Catholic apologist Steve Ray in which he argued against the doctrine of justification by faith alone. I demonstrated that this idea is clearly taught in Romans, and also discussed James 2.

Chris Rosebrough joined me to share some of his thoughts on the recent strage fire conference.

I discussed a number of topics on today's program. I spent the first half hour talking about the Reformed covenantal argument for infant baptism, and how we should approach this subject. I then answered a listener question about people who are called "righteous," and "blameless" in the Old Covenant. Finally, I addressed the Church of Christ's view of baptism.

A discussion of the doctrine of the imputation of Christ's active obedience.

I discussed a ten minute segment of a Paul Washer sermon which demonstrates his preparationist approach to conversion.

Today's program was an ecclectic one. I answered listener questions on a variety of topics. First I addressed the issue of divine monergism in Luther's Bondage of the Will. I then spent the majority of the time discussing the Mosaic Law and in what sense it is still valid for the church today. Finally, I addressed the issue of legalism in the church fathers.

Having finished the Matt Haney lecture, I answered some email questions on a variety of topics. I discussed the nature of unionism as well as the distinction between mortal and venial sin. I finished with a discussion of perseverance in the faith.

The final response to Matt Haney's lecture against a Lutheran approach to baptism. This program deals primarily with his misrepresentations of Luther.

A continued response to Matt Haney's lecture against baptismal regeneration. I delt with John 3, and Haney's attacks on Luther's beliefs and character.

I took a break from our discussion of Matt Haney's lecture on baptism to discuss the church of the Middle Ages. I was joined by Pastor David Graves to discuss the importance of Bernard of Clairvaux on Luther's thought, and the best aspects of Medieval theology which led to the Reformation.
