Why Calvinists Redefine Deadness feat: @IdolKiller

Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, explains how Calvinists hi-jack the term Deadness and redefine it in western terms in order to fit their system rather than exegetically reading the term in 1st-century context.

Dead “literally” vs Dead in trespasses and sins “separated from God.” Easily remedied by believing in Jesus. By the way, your videos are super good.

"DEAD MEANS DEAD!!!"
"Oh, so when we are 'dead TO sin' it also means total inability just like being 'dead IN sin'?"
"**does not compute**"

[dustinpaulson]

When you have to redefine words like "dead" and "grace" and "sovereign" and "salvation" and "faith" and "love"... they have moved past "secondary issues" and have entered into talking about an entirely different God and Gospel than what Scripture presents.

By all means, be kind to them in correction, but don't grant them that these are "secondary issues" for the sake of peace and unity.

I recently learned that RC Sproul's son said: "Well ... I suggest that God created sin" in his book "Almighty Over All; Understanding the Sovereignty Of God", I was really dumbfounded, not even Western people were encouraged to say that. Every day I am amazed more at Calvinists.

Very hard to witness to the reformed when they redefine and retranslate words and verses in the Bible, may God convict them through the Holy Spirit to accept scripture as written.

I am really worried, calvinism is getting into allot of my baptist denomination churches. 😟

I am a provisioning, however I am concerned with the final remarks of Warren. He seems to ignore Eph 2:3 where it is clear that all of mankind are “by nature” children of wrath. This seems to refute his assertion that our problem derives from rebellious actions. In Him we are raised up with Him. I would really like to hear a program related to the role of Holy Spirit in every stage of spiritual life from calling to glorification.

When you have to redefine everything in order to render your view unfalsifiable, you might have a false view.

Calvinists also use:

Epexegesis
- the addition of words to clarify meaning

I should actually say "clarify"

[bobbyadkins]

Calvinism seems very much like a cult to me. How can it not be?

[princeamoakwa]

We may soon have to soon re-examine the so called Original Sin doctrine. Reading the Bible myself, I see that sin is not inherited. It is a personal thing. Maybe I am wrong but I am studying the subject some more.

[oprophetisfake]

Likewise the Spirit is working to bring all to recognise that righteousness is only in Jesus.

John 16:8-12. When he (the Spirit) comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
9. about sin, because people do not believe in me;
10. about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11. and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned."


Revelation 22:17. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life."
So all the trinity is drawing and convincing people that they should believe in Jesus and be saved.

God is doing all to draw and convince. If man does not come, it is down to his/her own unbelief.

May he send more workers into the fields and anoint them and train and lead them by the Holy Spirit to demolish arguments and expose everything that people think is high and lofty and sets itself up against the knowledge of God.
In Jesus's name. Amen.

How come some of the episodes of soteriology 101 that are on Spotify are not on YouTube? Is there another soteriology 101 channel?

When God says to someone that they are dead, He simply sees the end from the beginning.

0:43 One thing that has always bothered me about Calvinists is that they love the most extreme hyperbole until they get backed into a corner then they rework it and say "that's not what we really teach, you don't really know Calvinism". Limited Atonement...oh no really Particular Atonement or Definite Atonement. Total Depravity...on no really Total Inability.

[watchman]

One of the biggest dangers of Calvinism is the blatant and strong correlation between Calvinism and replacement theology, which says the Church IS Israel or replaced Israel and denies that Israel has a distinct role in end times events. Total Heresy.

Calvinist/Reformed Theology scholar is an oxymoron.
