Lutheran Soteriology: With Dr. Jordan Cooper

Dr. Jordan Cooper from the Just and Sinner podcast came on today to discuss the Lutheran view of soteriology. We discussed the components of election, regeneration, and monergism, and the mechanics of grace work within the Lutheran system. It's a fun conversation full of witty banter. Hope you enjoy it.

2 years ago I was wallowing in sin like a pig in the muck. Today one of the real joys of my day was watching these nerds hash out Lutheran Soteriology. The Lord is so good yall! The Lord is just so good I could weep. I heart you Remnant Radio.

[j.sethfrazer]

Lutheran theology has given me the real Christian language and assurance I never had being raised around a blend of Reformed and Remonstrant theology. I am so much more at peace with objective justification, because it truly leads to objective assurance. Belief on the Name of the Lord by itself is not wrong. But what will sustain and nourish that belief in a saving way is what a lot of Protestant Christians will not apply or seek out hardly at all.

After watching remnant radio....i am now an

Jordan Cooper does a really good job explaining the theological concepts. It’s always a good show when he’s on

[adamk]

Very good. Informative and entertaining to learn about what a lot of Lutherans believe and think. Remnant Radio is the best! No argumentation just solid discussion. Great job guys!

[Liminalplace]

Thanks Remnant for having Dr. Cooper on. Great to hear!!

[thatoneguysface]

Dr. Cooper! Huge fan. Not Lutheran but a fan! What you said about the resurrection being Christ’s justification, and the world being justified in Christ by that very same act, is something I’ve been thinking about a LOT. Is there a word for this doctrine?!

[hurikane]

I really like some of these points. I’ve always identified as Calvinist, mostly because I believe in election. But wow, I really liked the Lutheran position. I don’t think I’ve seen many Lutheran churches though. Would really like to hear more on absolution and apostasy.

[lark]

I enjoyed the discussion about apostasy. I wholeheartedly affirm the Lutheran position on that topic.

Hey Conservative Lutheran, , I am, , but as an African American there is a world of Christianity's history that's left out of Western churches. The African and Asian churches and the history that's being studied and shared by African and Asian Christian Scholars. Its rich and deep. As we look at the failing western church perhaps God, , by His Spirit is directing all of us to learn and embrace our complete history. The church was well and alive before it became a Roman State church, , there is much to the story. As Lutheran we go back to the western understanding of the faith, ,but there is different understanding. I am happy and content with were I am in the Faith but in the future and even now we will need to reach people. The African and Asian and European influences in the faith, historically speaking is a good thing and we need to embrace and celebrate the oneness and diversity in the church, , Apostlic of couras. As I learn more about our church universal, I am learning how the church flourish for years as an international body .Its a grand history that I pray others will lrarn about. Blessing to everyone ❤

47:15 I think that's the key there, we can "not resist". We don't need to do anything but give in, as in an absence of action.

[intheschoolofgodandnature]

On baptism, I understand him as saying that God provides an objectively "done" salvation that He then never will withdraw. The person may withdraw (apostacize), but God's act of saving still stands and if the person repents his baptism still stands. Amirite or no

[brendansorel]

The baptism thing was a bit confusing to me. I need help understanding the view that faith comes through baptism. Wouldn't the person being baptized already have faith to be baptized? It just seems that faith comes before baptism. Maybe I misunderstood but I would appreciate any clarification.

[salasanthonysamuel]

Remnant radio and you guys having to filter through this dictionary- doctrine... God bless you fellows... perfect circumstance of man's doctrine justified by scripture 'pick up sticks' concept.
Thank God Jesus said 'those that are not against us are for us' I believe Jesus was prophetically declaring the numerous sects of Christianity. Maranatha

[alexanderderus]

Great conversation. Have an Orthodox on your site. Father Josiah trenham for example would be fantastic. I think Orthodoxy answers a lot of the areas you guys got stuck

[Outrider]

People forget that Calvin also practiced absolution.

[dugood]

I like Dr. Cooper but as always he says too little with too many words. He needs to learn concision

[jena]

What does baptism save you from? Does it save you from going to hell when you die, or does it save you physically or spiritually from something else. I can’t seem to get a clear answer from the Lutheran POV.

If the faith that comes by grace is resistible, then it would seem to me that the inward spiritual struggle over whether to accept or reject that faith must involve work on the part of the person. If you are tempted to reject the faith, presumably by some form of sin, then presumably you must work to overcome that temptation. In that case, it seems to me salvation would no longer be by faith alone, would it. I mean, you would need that faith given freely by God's grace, but you would need to work to accept it.
