I don't recall Paul choosing God. Or Moses choosing God. I don't recall Abraham choosing God. I don't recall myself choosing God. Are they exceptions?

Interesting to hear, I knew little about this personal stuff. Thanks for sharing.

WHILE YOU GET A MICROPHOBE AND AT THE SAME TIME STOP MUBBLING IN YOUR BATH TUB... I'LL STUDY ONE MY 300 CALVINISTIC STUDIES ON MY PRIVATE WEBSITE THAT JUDGE CALVIN TO BE ARMINIANISTIC, ACCORDING TO BULLETS LIKE, "I WILL PARDON THEM WHOM I RESERVE." (JEREMIAH 50:20)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So a "Christian" received his doctorate from Notre Dame & they teach philosophy at a Baptist university? 🤔🤔🤔

There is nothing wrong!

Calvinists believe that a 3 months old baby is a sinner, if he is not one of the elect, the baby might go to hell....WHAT?

Calvinism is a lie. And one of many great deceptions that JESUS warned about

So beautiful! ❤

@xrisxc12

NO SOUND!

Wonderful group. Great music and the talent shows.

Wonderful!

This man's pride is hard to listen to.

"Jacob I loved, Esau I hated" God

Ggod has His predestined AND those who will choose Him. Quit trying to box Him in. Furthermore, God is omniscient which means He cannot learn anything...especially from us! This attribute is a scriptural fact and it alone kills Armenianism.

The most important thing about a person is what comes to mind when they think about who God really is...to understand truth you must know God's unchanging attributes. Study God's attributes and you'll find the answers to your questions.

Beautiful!!

Calvinism I s a lie. This preacher tries to hard to be funny and at times is a bit irreverent, which obviously Isn't good.

"and if you're a Calvinist, you should be a universalist...." I can't make out what he says immediately following this at 53:04 , but if he genuinely means this, just for the sake of proving his argument about why they're wrong doctrinally, logically inconsistent, etc., that makes me really sad to hear as a believer. He seems to make light of a situation that he paints as a real widespread issue among Calvinists. Aren't we still united through Christ, despite how one might feel after listening to this lecture? I understand the opposition to Calvinism, despite being aligned with it at this point in my faith as a relatively new believer, but this lecture seems divisive. I also recognize this isn't preaching, or even teaching in a local church body context, but I still just have a hard time justifying what seems to me to potentially fall under the category of "causing divisions". Romans 16:17 "I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them." Titus 3:10 "As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him," Unless Dr. Walls believes men like John Piper, John MacArthur, etc. are false teachers, in which case maybe the divisiveness that I'm perceiving would not be inter-Church division, because he doesn't believe them to be Christians in the first place. Regardless, I have a really hard time reconciling the original quote at the top, assuming I hear him correctly in the video. Saying that someone who professes Jesus should reject him (Universalism) in order to be logically consistent? Is this edifying to the bride of Christ?

Absolutely wish you would release the last one to Spotify! Great recital and shows your excellent voice!!!

@57:00 it's beginning to seem that Calvinism is more like a hostage cult, "well, at least I wasn't one of the ones that got shot, I'd better show my appreciation" lest another culling occur.

Thank you Dr Walls.

Calvinism and Arminianism are two sides of the same heretical dirty coin.

I met Kim when she was Kim Ibeko. It was at Eric Doney's cottage in the Gap. She was a really nice person. She toured in Europe with Eric and, I think, with Paul Langosch. Many years ago. Many great memories.

Piper: a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

An appeal to emotions and not a biblical argument. Will not touch Rom 9,John 6 44

Amen! to view God as only the God of miracles and blame the devil when things don’t go our way, that would be giving the devil credit and basically saying God lost to him. How great God is that we know what in our greatest tragedy He is good, He never fails, and he will always be who He says he is.

🎉🎉🎉amen what a great time of worship

Awesome worship ❤

I believe in Calvinism, and my interpretation/discernment of Scripture confirms it to me. I've found Arminianism to be a tad "off" in a few areas, and I believe contrary to Scripture, though in the end prescribing to either of these will not negate the Salvation of your soul through Jesus, if you believe and repent of your Sins. Of course, (according to Calvinism) God chose/predestined those he would save, before the foundation of The World, and if you're saved, it is because it's God's will for you, and Arminianism states that anybody can be saved if they believe in Jesus and repent of their Sins. All I really know is that I am saved, and thankful for it. The language used in Romans 8:28 to 8:39 can be interpreted differently for either of these passages of Scripture (by some), but I don't believe a person who isn't truly Saved longs to repent (does so) and seeks to be conformed to the image of Jesus in their daily life. The Holy Spirit is "in your face" if you're a true Christian, so I believe a Christian is called and God does as he pleases in His Kingdom.

It is rather bizarre that a reformed apologist like white would even entertain some form of final atonement for sin. what is the point of questioning the "lost" and evangelisation the damned, when you believe the "saved" can never be unsaved and Lost are unsaveable and thus eternally lost? Protestantism's REformed theology is founded on their ridiculous interpretation of predestination and election, which according to Calvin means: "the eternal decree of (his) god, by which he determined with himself, whatever fate he wished to happen with regard to every man" ! Some of us apparently are randomly preordained for eternal bliss in Heaven while others eternal punishment. The logical consequences of what had to have been a Predestination lottery makes Christianity look hopeless to a possible convert and insane nonsense to the sceptical unbeliever. Without freewill which both Calvin and Luther denied, we are just mindless puppets and wind-up toys of some fickle, moral monster. The "saved" can never be unsaved and the Lost damned for all eternity without any ability to change a damn thing! Footnote- sane Christians will stick with Paul and work out their salvation with fear and trembling through faithfulness, knowing that they must freely persevere to the end, hoping TO BE saved. 2 Tim 4, Matt 16 27, Matt 24;13 Rom 2 6, John 15

Try asking a Christian apologist to name a feature of Christian morality that is both (1) unique to it, and (2) not utterly repellent. They won’t be able to think of one. Then you can teach them some philosophy.

Don't forget that Arminism is just the other side of the same heretical coin!

When you know Calvinism you know it's a false doctrine.

REFORMED THEOLOGY Reformed Theology is just another Cult pretending to be Christianity! Just like the catholics, Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses. They use the same Bible as a Christian does but then puts the cultish spin on the truth with their founders heresy. This from the Reformed calvinist founders own mouth should convince anyone outside of the Reformed Calvinist cult to watch out and steer clear of there heresy's! God arranges all things by his sovereign counsel, in such a way that individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death and are to glorify him by their destruction.( John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 6) “…salvation is freely offered to some while others are barred from access to it.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, Paragraph 5) “We call predestination God’s eternal decree, by which he compacted with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is fore-ordained for some, eternal damnation for others.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, Calvinists believe God created all things, and controls all things, predetermined all things, and made all things exactly the way they are.... thus god also created evil. Therefore since Calvinists believe god created evil, they are blaspheming against the holy spirit ... the only unforgivable sin. Calvinists also believe the only people who will be saved have been predetermined by God. and since Calvinists believe God predetermined who will be saved ... they have removed free will - the gift of God to humans, and removed Jesus from the equation. Since God (according to Calvinists) has already determined who will be saved ... (and who will not be saved) ... those who will be saved do not need Christ and those who will not be saved cannot come to Christ. Thus Calvinists are not Christians. Truth in Love

Notice that the language of the "confession" is scripture. I'm not surprised that there is growing opposition to the every truth of scripture in the present churches. Man is all the more being glorified as "able". That man is totally depraved, completely darkened in spirit, a hater of God, that it can only take the "new creation" of God in his soul to be saved, are truths so vehemently rejected. Apostasy is everywhere and in everything. Men are coming up with "strange fire" in their churches and forsaking the child-like dependence on God and his word our fathers were known for . Gospel Christianity appears to simplistic to many, and they have to add all manner of inventions to keep congregants. All the truths our "fathers" so dearly cherished are despised. The confession of Calvinism is simply this; "salvation is of the Lord". Man is corrupt, and dead towards God and it's only by that resurrecting power "Lazarus, come forth" that man will "see the kingdom of God". In bringing Lazarus back to life our Lord Jesus called to corpse of Lazarus as though it could hear. The Lord called "Lazarus, come forth". Did the corpse resist that call? "and he came forth". Our Lord called to the life-less corpse "Lazarus, come forth". This is exactly what we Calvinists do when we preach the gospel; we preach to gospel to those "dead in their sins and trespasses", to those "yet enemies" to God. But we trust in the work of the Holy Spirit to bring men to life and make them "willing in the day of his power" for "salvation is of the Lord".

57:24 According to Calvin, questioning Calvin is the same as questioning God: "No one can disprove the doctrine I have expounded except he who pretends to be wiser than the Spirit of God." --John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.155 in the two-book collection "Calvin's Calvinism")

Outstanding video! Great university! I have many fond memories of attending Evangel in the 1960s

When you have entire books, ministries, and public discourses focused on nothing but why “calvinism is wrong” You definitely don’t understand calvinism and are probably the one everyone should worry about

Debate James White !!!

The machinations of a confused lawyer’s mind.

What's with all the damn commercials? What kind of Christian posts these sermons and then whores himself and his videos out to the world?

I do sincerely hope AW Pink made it to heaven. But i will surprised to see him there. The best thing about calvinism is that the vast majority of calvinists don't really believe it. It appears AW Pink actually did.

Luther was not!

I have great respect for Dr Swinburne but I must take issue with one of his presuppositions and his argument in defense of nahual evil. One of the presuppositions he mentions at the start is that since we have been given free will God doesn't know what choices we will make and he suggests to having such knowledge would interfere with our free choices. It is my understanding that Dr. Swinburne accepts God is "Timeless" meaning existing outside time and that God, in fact created time (along with space matter and energy). If this is correct then God would, as the Bible says, "know the end from the beginning" and have the unique ability of perfect prophecy and as such, being omnipotent, would "preknow" every decision each of his creations will make. There is no logical reason HIS knowledge would limit the free choice of any individual, so Dr Swinburne's assertion that it would is logically false. Second, on to the justification of "Natural evil". IT is far from clear that "character building" or the benefits of research to counteract the natural evil is always a greater good than the suffering experienced though the natural evil. A logical defeater here would only require one example where character building was NOT a greater good or greater potential good than the natural evil experienced. I find His argument justifying the exitance of moral evil coherent and persuasive but I do not see the same or even sufficient explanatory power for his argument on natural evil. For natural evil we need a better answer.

But God as Swinburne understands God is without condition. If God is omnipotent, he is bound by no limits on creating a good without any suffering at all. Human parents are not, as it us suggested of God, omnipotent.

A simple question for christians (and mutatis mutandis, other theists and deists). Inasmuch as there appears to be no evidence or line of reasoning that supports the existence of a god, gods or other supernatural entities, what is so wrong with the following. Instead of tying yourselves into embarrassing knots, why not say, “Despite the absence of evidence, the absence of any reasoning that stands up to scrutiny, I simply choose to believe in my faith Perhaps it cannot be distinguished from any of the many other delusions we choose to suppose. Nonetheless, like them, it makes me happy, confident, more hopeful in my grief” No one could object to that! I think the honest thing to do, though, would be not to proselytize to minors, the infirm, and not to seek to legislate restricting the civil freedoms of others who have different beliefs, even if objectively those may be delusional too. Physics just can’t give you your resurrection.

While Christian colleges can’t graduate a lot of flood geologists, the few that are have to find jobs somewhere other than Christian colleges, I am sure. To get oil and gas jobs, I guess they have to understand scientific geology as well as this fun house biblical YEC stuff! Also, the GOP can deride anthropogenic climate change all they want, but notice the insurance companies leaving Florida, requiring home sellers to report flood events to prospective buyers.

😮😅Fake news B S CRAPOO😅
