Salvation (112)
  1. Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man! Gillespie and Riley continue to read and discuss Erasmus’ diatribe on Free Will and Salvation. How does Erasmus read the Bible and how does his interpretation continue to influence the church today? How does Erasmus’ anthropology determine how the church continues to preach and teach Christian doctrine?
  2. Hey, careful, man, there’s a theologian here! Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Erasmus of Rotterdam’s discourse on The Freedom of The Will. In his debate with Martin Luther, how did Erasmus lose the battle but win the war over the doctrine of free will? How does it continue to influence the church today?
  3. You’re not making Christianity better; you’re making Stoicism worse. Gillespie and Riley continue their discussion of free will and predestination by reading Clement of Alexandria. Where does the doctrine of free will originate? What happens when a Christian blends biblical theology and philosophy? Why doesn’t Riley like Star Wars sermons?
  4. I thought we had something, but then you do and pull this. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Iranaeus on free will and predestination. What part do Christians play in their salvation? Do we choose to sin? Who goes to hell?
  5. Just Think of This As a Friendly Test That Could Get You Thrown into Hell, Or Not... Your Choice. Why do we demand that the choice be ours as regards our salvation or damnation? How does the doctrine of free will result in us hating God and each other? What about the influence of free will and predestination on popular culture?
  6. The Only Wrong Choice Is to Not Make a Choice... Where does the belief in free will originate? Is free will a biblical doctrine? How does Justin’s teaching on free will and salvation still influence the church and western culture today?
  7. His resurrection reveals that Jonah, and all of us, even the evilest people, are salvageable, even from suicide, in Jesus' death and resurrection.
  8. The easiest way for us to contend with our sin is to become an agent of sin. We slice and cut others to pieces for all the world to see.
  9. We live in the strength of our baptism again and again and again, returning to it every day according to God's promise. 
  10. We don't have to worry about making progress towards God because he's already come to us, named us as his own, and promises to never leave or forsake us.
  11. Our actions, moral choices, appearance, definitions of family and friendship are all defined by how we see ourselves in relation to the question, "Am I good enough?"
  12. Jesus is a heroic warrior that not even hell can defeat.
