Re: Meeting with Steve

My hope was to interview Dr. Pinnock for the show on Tuesday. He was not available at the proper time to be on the show, so we just met for coffee at Second Cup (a Candian version of Starbucks). Steve Farr ("anothersteve" here) also sat in with us. Dr. Pinnock and I just visited casually for about a...

Re: Debate from 10/17/08

Though the second part of the Matt Slick debate, which aired today, is not yet posted in our radio program archives, I noticed that both parts have now been posted in the "topical lectures" page of my website.

Re: Meeting with Steve

Hi Paul, It was a blessing to me to meet you, as well as your wife and two children. In the five or ten minutes we spent together, I did not know that you were feeling ashamed, or that you had not been doing well in your Christian walk. I also did not know that you felt ostracized from the forum, or...

Re: Would Steve take Hank's Job?

This is an interesting question. The last lime I ate with Hank, a few years ago, he was talking about his desire to do more travel and seminar-type teaching. In passing, he spoke of the possibility (perhaps a remote one) that he would someday be doing only writing and seminar-type ministry, and woul...

Re: Get yourself a new heart?

Jim, You are not debating. You are asserting. You have no idea how subjective your take on these passages is, and will not know until you engage in actual exposition of the passages, rather than proof-texting. You wrote: "Steve, Christ makes it clear that the coming to Him had not been granted to al...

Re: Get yourself a new heart?

Jim, When I asked for sensible biblical answers, I actually was not referring to the predictable Calvinist ploy of posting the playbook proof texts, followed by rhetorical questions. We have all seen what texts Calvinists can cite. What we are waiting to see is what Calvinists can sensibly say about...

Re: Get yourself a new heart?

Seer, You wrote: "Second, I just want to be sure where you are coming from, again: can a man desire God, without God first doing a inward work (like opening ears, eyes, heart, inner conviction of the Holy Spirit, etc...) ?" Why do you limit the prior working of God to these few options, when the Bib...

Re: Get yourself a new heart?

Why should anyone be concerned about what Pelagius taught? Who even knows? The question is what the scripture teaches. You don't seem to be interacting with us on that level here. You are only raising your eyebrows and asking leading questions. Have we not answered them? Now perhaps you can answer t...

Re: Get yourself a new heart?

Hi Jim (Seer), You wrote: "Let me get this straight Steve, the natural man can respond positively to God, actually seek God, simply on His disclosure in nature? So men look at the starry hosts at night and decide to worship the one true God - under their own inward steam?" Why not? Romans 1:20 says ...

Re: Get yourself a new heart?

Jim, You wrote: "Steve, I said nothing about regeneration." Actually, yes, you did say something about it. You did not use the word, but you did speak of regeneration when you said that Paidion was contradicting himself by saying, on one hand, that man in his natural state, is able to choose God, an...
