Molinism Discussion - Part 2

Responding to William Lane Craig on Molinism and Reformed Theology - Part 1

In this episode, I present part 1 of a 2 part series responding to the doctrine known as Molinism, most famously defended by Christian philosopher William Lane Craig. Part 1 will be a direct response to a Q&A done by Craig on his website which you can find here: http://www.reasonablefaith.org/molinism-vs-calvinism. In this Q&A response, Craig presents what he thinks the problems are with Reformed Theology as part of the reason that he accepts Molinism. I take him to task for much of what he says here.

Part 2 will be a more broad engagement with the view and why I think that Molinism is a heterodox doctrine which potentially leads to heretical views such as Semi-Pelagianism and Open Theism. Part 2 will attempt to expose many of its Biblical, theological, and philosophical shortcomings. I will be joined by Owen Paun for that discussion.

Why Accurately Handling History Matters - Part 1

Part One of my series responding to Leighton Flowers' Stoeriology101 article "Why Servetus is a Valid Argument Against Calvinism." I will argue that this is one of the worst articles that I have read on the subject and is plagued with bias and utterly lacking in research and often is down right misleading.

ISN’T THE BIBLE MISOGYNISTIC? - PART 2 (HERMENEUTICAL FOUNDATIONS)

In this episode we continue our discussion of the so called "misogyny" of the Bible by laying a hermeneutical foundation for how we are to read the Bible in a Redemptive Historical and how Jesus is the answer in the back of the book so to speak. We explore Paul's view that Jesus tore down social dividing lines and what this does to show the ultimate intention of God and his work of subverting Ancient Near Eastern cultural norms throughout the Old Testament.
