In this video, I discuss John 3:1-8 and 1st Peter 1:23-25 to uncover (1) why being born again is necessary to be with God, and (2) how we are born again through the living and abiding word of God (the Gospel).#Bible #apologetics #Christianity #calvinism #sciencefaithandreasoning --------------------------------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/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this episode, I review the Biblical basis for encouraging church attendance and the beauty of what can be found in the local assemblage of the saints.

In this video, I explore why Catholic and Reformed Churches are experiencing a recent surge in popularity and attendance in the post-COVID era. Overall, I think Christians were tired of megachurch casual Christianity, and are wanting something more serious and traditional.#catholic #Christianity #reformed #reformation #calvinism #churchhistory #catholicism --------------------------------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/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this video, I have ChatGPT write a sermon on the same passage of Scripture that I wrote a sermon on, and then I compared its sermon to my own for percent similarity, and they were scarily similar.

In this episode, I compare two perspectives on Philippians 1:29. The more Arminian perspective is that Philippians 1:29 simply means we are granted opportunities to believe in Christ and to suffer for His sake, not that those are actually given by God. The more Calvinistic reading is rather that God actually gives belief in Christ and suffering for His sake as gifts that are received; in other words, God grants the reality of these things, not simply the opportunity for these things.#calvinism #Bible #arminianism #reformed #apologetics #Christianity #exegesis --------------------------------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/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this video, I review the recent TedX talk about Bible interpretations by Dr. Dan McClellan. This is an interesting one with a few nuances. His claim is that the Bible doesn't have inherent meaning. I breakdown his presentation and provide some Biblical commentary.#apologetics #christianity #atheism #tedx #tedtalk #agnosticism #scienceandfaith

In this video, Shepard and I sit down to discuss how his experience in the NIFB/IFB Movement hurt his relationships with his family, his friends, and even his church. We also consider how to have a more Biblical and historical view of the Scriptures that can be more unifying for the body of Christ.#kjv #kjvonly #apologetics #Christianity #fundamentalism #scienceandfaith #sfr #bible -------------------------------LINKS--------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

In this video, after two years of studying the NASB 2020, I have finally changed my mind about this translation of God's Word. There were three major things that happened to me that helped me change my mind about the translation: (1) giving the Bible as a gift, (2) studying the Old Testament, and (3) learning Biblical Greek.
