2021-08-083h 28Consistent Calvinism PodcastIs Calvinism Inconsistent?We respond to accusations of inconsistency within Calvinism from Leighton Flowers once again. We use several Biblical examples to demonstrate that Calvinism is fully consistent with itself. A proper understanding and recognition of God as the transcendent creator and sustainer is absolutely critical for any Christian worldview. Subscribe on Youtube and follow on Twitter @CCalvinism.
2021-07-152h 08Consistent Calvinism PodcastAre Calvinists Fatalists?We cover the topic of fatalism by going over several definitions and showing that being a fatalist involves much more than the recognition that things are determined. We contrast fatalism with determinism to show that the mindset people have in light of things being determined is also extremely important. My conclusion is that the accusation of fatalism against Calvinism is misleading and dishonest. Subscribe on Youtube and follow on Twitter @CCalvinism.
2021-06-221h 03Consistent Calvinism PodcastDid You Believe Because You Were Better?We address Leighton Flower's response to a very common Calvinistic argument: Why did you believe and your neighbor did not? Were you better? Smarter? In a better mood? More spiritually sensitive? We counter his attempts to flip this argument around on Calvinists by explaining the difference between natural faculty ability and moral ability based upon dispositions. We also demonstrate the illogic behind the free will answer to this question and show that at the end of the day the question remains unanswered.

2021-06-091h 49Consistent Calvinism PodcastElection In Ephesians 1: Individual or Corporate?We cover the differences between Personal, Individual Election in Ephesians 1 and the view of "Corporate Election." We respond to a short presentation of this view by Leighton Flowers of Soteriology 101. Corporate Election seeks to get away from God choosing individuals in eternity past and instead puts forth the idea that God is choosing a plan. God is choosing THAT those who believe will be saved, but God is not choosing PEOPLE specifically. We show how Ephesians 1 does not allow for anything other than God choosing individual people in Christ before the foundation of the world.

2021-01-162h 36Consistent Calvinism PodcastFree Will Is Logically Impossible (For Us) - Calvinism vs ArminianismEpisode 1 starts with one of the most hotly debated topics: Free Will. What is free will? Do we have it? CAN we have it? Is it logically possible for us to have it? My answer is NO!
I start off by defining what free will is by using the only definition that matters in this theological discussion: freedom from God. I then lay the foundation of the Calvinistic position with 3 key bible verses demonstrating the unavoidable reality that we are never metaphysically free from God. I explain why these 3 verses deny all forms of the ancient heresy...2020-12-224h 49Consistent Calvinism PodcastFree Will Is Logically Impossible (For Us) - Calvinism vs ArminianismEpisode 1 starts with one of the most hotly debated topics: Free Will.
