Response to James White on Baptismal Regeneration Part 3

Last updated on: September 23, 2015 at 2:04 pm By Jordan Cooper

On today’s program I finished my response to James White’s article “A Brief Rebuttal of Baptismal Regeneration.” I discussed Acts 2:38 and the meaning of baptism “for the remission of sins,” as well as the washing away of sins in Acts 22:16. We continued to demonstrate the false dichotomy presented by White regarding the efficacy of the cross and baptismal regeneration, and addressed his closing remarks in the essay. Here is the program Read more

Reframe?!: Is Kim Davis Actually Proclaiming Christ’s Free Forgiveness of Sins?

Last updated on: September 12, 2015 at 6:25 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne Rod Dreher is saying that the Kim Davis case is a religious liberty loser – and he’s got the stats to back him up. I think he is dead right. That said, is it possible for us to think long-term, seeing it as a Gospel winner? What? Yes I am serious – just like I was about this when the Indiana thing blew up. And if this is not Kim Davis’ view, so what? Let’s help... Read more

Are Confessional Lutherans Just Too Sure of Themselves?

Last updated on: September 9, 2015 at 4:40 am By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne Recently, I heard a Lutheran brother say that we do our best to interpret Scripture – both prayerfully and thoughtfully – but that we could be wrong on most matters because we could be missing something important. This got me wondering whether or not most conservative Protestants would at the least think that they could be wrong on a few matters. Might they ask, for example: “How can anyone with an ecumenical bone in their body... Read more

Crucifixes and Pictures of Jesus: A Response to Tim Challies

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 1:21 pm By Jordan Cooper

On today’s program I responded to a recent post by Tim Challies in which he argued that Protestants should not wear crucifixes. He did this by citing J.I. Packer’s book Knowing God. I demonstrate the flaws in Packer’s argument, and talk about the usefulness of crucifixes. Here is the program Read more

A Lutheran Evaluation of Reformed Theology

Last updated on: September 1, 2015 at 11:58 am By Jordan Cooper

My new book The Great Divide: A Lutheran Evaluation of Reformed Theology has just been released! Currently, it is only available on WipfandStock.com, but we be up on Amazon within the coming days. You can purchase the book here. Since the sixteenth century, the Protestant tradition has been divided.

On today’s program, I was joined again by Rev. Lewis Polzin to continue our discussion of Henry Eyster Jacobs’ book A Summary of the Christian Faith. We discussed three chapters about the threefold office of Christ: prophet, priest, and king. Unfortunately, my audio file got messed up, so the sound quality is not great.
