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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
I mean, if you spend all day shuffling words around, you can make anything sound bad.
Gillespie and Riley finish their discussion of the book, Mission to Nuremberg. What happens when a pastor is called to minister to Nazi war criminals? This is the third of three episodes, where we talk about the power of the Gospel, state-sponsored religion, and pastoral care when it's attacked from outside and within the church.
There's a lesson here and we're not going to be the ones to figure it out.

Sane People Would Pay Top Dollar for This Kind of Podcast. Gillespie, Riley, and special guest Chad Bird read from his book, "Your God is Too Glorious." They then discuss baptism, suffering, and vocation.
Banned Books Jumps The Shark. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Crucifying Religion, by Donavon Riley so Riley can have a discussion about himself with himself. It’s a meta, meta episode!
