Today we started responding to Leighton Flowers’ attempt to respond to our basic discussion of one simple truth and reality: the Provisionist view of man’s will and God’s grace is completely in line with the Roman Catholic view at the time of the Reformation; that is, Flowers stands firmly with Erasmus against Luther on this topic. This is all about the sufficiency of grace versus the mere necessity of grace. This has been a theme we have discussed for decades. Flowers’ attempt to respond revealed so many important errors and weaknesses in the Provisionist position that we simply could not allow the opportunity to pass. We got about 20 minutes through the 50 minute or so response, so, be ready for another RFG in the near future!

After a few minutes about the importance of self discipline in the Christian life, I read through three sections from Dr. Nick Needham’s 2000 Years of Christ’s Power series, one dealing with the Robber Synod, one dealing with the Marburg Colloquy, and the last about the death of Chrysostom. Enjoy!

Long day on the road today but I really wanted to get a program in as I may be speaking the next two nights (my trip plans have been changed due to weather). In any case, looked at bit at the two homosexuals and their designer baby story, took the time to clarify some false claims floating around regarding Thomas and the Mass in my understanding, and finished up looking at Christian Smith and his attack upon sola scriptura.
