BONUS EPISODE! Immediately after the Nov 29th Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary chapel service Jimmy and Joe got a number of emails and messages about the sermon by Dr. Rick Patrick, Pastor of First Baptist Church Sylacauga and Executive Director of Connect 316, and the concluding remarks by Dr. Page Patterson, President of SWBTS. Here the guys talk about Calvinism in the SBC, tell fellow Calvinists to “chill,” and discuss how to respond to those with whom we disagree. Correction: Joe said that every church which made up the beginning of the SBC affirmed the 1689 Second London Confession. It would be more accurate to say, “In 1845, when the Southern Baptist Convention was formed, every delegate came from a church or association that had adopted the Philadelphia Confession or an abstract of the document.” (On the Baptist Confession of 1689 by Dr. Nathan Finn) The Philadelphia Confession contains all the content of the 1689 with two additions.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Jimmy and Joe are talking Thanksgiving, celebrating the holiday season, and getting into Jesus’s authority and judgment from the 1689 Confession Chapter 8 paragraph 3. What does it mean that Jesus was given “all power and judgement” and authority? Why would God the Son need to be given such authority? And what does this mean for the world and the church? Plus, Joe is sick and Jimmy is relentless. OUR SPONSOR Logos Bible Software has just released Logos 8, the newest version of the best Bible study software available.
