Eric and Drew respond to Edgar of ‪@reformedpolemics9103‬ & ‪@TheOtherPaul‬'s critique of their view of Corporate Election from Ephesians 1. Drew analyzes the plausibility of "chosen by Him" instead of "chosen in Him" in Ephesians 1:4. Eric & Drew talk the merits of Biblical theology and Systematic theology's inherent limitations. Edgar and Paul attempt (?) to understand the corporate election view and miss the ProvPer bros at several junctures. Eric & Drew talk about how repeating Reformed theology doesn't equal responding to arguments and how they have no issue with the pronouns in Ephesians 1:1-14. Eric talks a little about their seeming inconsistency in their critique and they both give their concluding thoughts.

Eric & Drew take time to address ‪@TheOtherPaul‬'s response to a recent Twitter kerfuffle where they quoted Ronnie Rogers' "Does God Love All or Some?" and got a lot of pushback. They also respond to Edgar and Edwin of ‪@scholasticismreformed166‬ as they critique their debate with Dr. Feighton Lowers.

 Eric and Drew talk about the Gospel's effect on the unregenerate on Calvinism in the context of Rogers' quote. They compare a quote from John Calvin and ask if even Calvin was consistent with denying God was the author of sin. Eric highlights the difference between an assertion and making a cogent argument for determinism. Eric & Drew cover additional context from Rogers' quote and discuss whether anything can be meaningfully influential towards faith and repentance on Calvinism. They talk about the lose-lose situation of the James White-like critique of "arguing backwards" and "jumping around" in the Bible. Drew briefly explains the Calvinistic error that is often made about "adoption" in Ephesians 1:5 and Eric highlights the contextual problems that Calvinists have to overcome to make their case for unconditional election in Ephesians 1. Drew closes by explaining the Provisionist perspective on 1 John 2:2 and John 17 as Jesus speaks of "not praying for the world" and John talks about for whose sins Christ died.

In this episode, Eric and Drew cover a recent Christmas series from Andy Stanley. He starts by saying that "WE are the reason for the season" and why that's actually a good thing. Andy and Drew share in saying controversial things to grab attention in order to give important truths. Andy uses Abraham as an example of a chosen one whose purpose is to bless the entire world. Drew and Eric discuss the role of evangelism on a Sunday morning and the importance of hearing the Good News of Jesus on a regular basis. Eric talks about his finely tuned "progressive sniffer" and whether or not Stanley passes the sniff test.

A few weeks ago, Tyler Vela of the Freed Thinker Podcast, an Online Calvinist Apologist, announced that he had left the faith, now believed the Bible, the Trinity, and Christ's Deity all to be false, and yet claimed to continue to be a "theologically conservative REFORMED philosophical theist" to everyone's astonishment. In this episode, Eric and Drew cover his public statements about leaving the faith and confront the abject silence from the Reformed online on his past and continued presence on the internet as an apologist for their beliefs.

Join Drew and Eric as they discuss Calvinism's TULIP with the pastor of dEric and Lewk, Dr. Feighton Lowers of Calvin's Sovereign Grace Reformed United Fellowship in PlanoS (like the Greek word), Texas. There's no better way to understand Reformed theology than to have an ACTUAL, REAL Calvinist to represent them properly from their own perspective, in this case you might say "The Providential Perspective".
