Apologetics 105

On today’s show I sit down with Tim Stratton (@tsxpress) who is a guest writer at freakengministries.com. We discuss Calvinism and whether or not it’s logically impossible. The majority of our discussion is tied to Tim’s very controversial article titled The Petals Drop: Why Calvinism is Impossible.

On this week’s edition of the pod I have a conversation with Pastor David McConnell who serves as the teaching pastor at Agape Fellowship and is also a co-host on The Gospel Friends Podcast. He joins me for a discussion on current events. The two areas we touch on within the show largely deal with two articles, one on slippery slopes in regards to same-sex marriage. And the other dealing with a pastor who claims he is an atheist. We conclude the show by discussing the good teachings within reformed theology and how we should find unity in diversity with those who disagree. Articles LinkedAmerica is Ignoring God’s Clear Warning Signs (Shane Idleman)Presbyterian Minister Doesn’t Believe in God... (Jennifer LeClaire) Contact Apologetics 105 Personal Twitter | Ministry Twitter | Facebook Page | Web Site | Stitcher Radio | Pod Bean | iTunes

On this week’s edition of the pod I open up the show by talking about a recent article I wrote on defining atheism and how the new atheists have redefined the word in a rather dishonest way. In the latter part of the show we hear an interview that I had done recently with author and illustrator Chuck Harrison (@chuckha) who has recently co-authored The Belief Book with David McAfee. Articles LinkedDefining Atheism (Apologetics 105): http://www.apologetics105.com/blog/defining-atheism The Definition that will not Die (Reasonable Faith): http://www.reasonablefaith.org/the-definition-that-will-not-die#_ftn1 The Belief Book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Belief-Book-David-McAfee/dp/1908675314Contact Apologetics 105 Personal Twitter | Ministry Twitter | Facebook Page | Web Site | Stitcher Radio | Pod Bean | iTunes
