Provisionist Perspective

Eric and Drew go through the biblical data for the sinfulness of infants and what makes human beings guilty. They also answer questions from listeners on the meaning of "dead" from the Provisionist view.

Eric and Drew respond to an article Drew googled on Christianity.com; "What Is Original Sin"? This takes them down a rabbit hole of finding Calvinism.com when they were looking for "Christianity.com". And their jimmies are thoroughly rustled.

Eric and Drew walk through a recent podcast with Sean Cole who critiques the Provisionist view of Eph 1. Sean places his current theological concerns unto Paul as if Paul has the same audience Sean does. We show how he merely attempts to show how our position is not Reformed, rather than unbiblical.

Eric and Drew go through GotQuestions.org's answer to "What is Monergism?" and show how all Christians are monergists and why all Christians aspire to be synergists. Drew shows how "synergism" is biblical language while Eric wonders who disagrees with God's choice in salvation.

God did not predestine you to watch porn. Eric and Drew discuss the rational conclusions of compatibilism and the personal despair that come from believing that when you sin you could not have done otherwise.

Eric and Drew discuss toxic ministry, spiritual abuse, their experiences with both, and then give seven signs your pastor might be a narcissist.

Eric and Drew discuss Critical Race Theory (social justice, cultural Marxism), why it is so compelling to some, and the worldview behind it. Then they compare this worldview to the Christian worldview and see if they are compatible.

Eric and Drew discuss Judicial Hardening, why Eric wants to call that doctrine something else, what Scary Shiny Jesus (the Transfiguration) has to do with all this, and how Jesus hiding Himself and the Gospel, and God hiding wisdom makes no sense if God is determining who does and does not believe.

Election and How We Are Placed "In Christ". Eric and Drew address Cole’s strange statements about free will and talk about how it is exactly that we are “in Christ” from Ephesians 1.

Eric and Drew respond to an episode from the Understanding Christianity podcast entitled, "The Fatal Flaws of Provisionism". Do we really have any? What does Sean Cole mean when he says we're coming to Christ "in and of ourselves"?
