Reclaiming the Faith

MK-Ultra & Compatibilism

In Episode 111, I discuss the CIA’s MK-Ultra program, and how it compares to the Calvinistic doctrine of Compatibilism. Compatibilism states that while God determines all things, mankind maintains free will.

Matchsticks and Unconditional Election

In Episode 108 I discuss a rather unfortunate comment made by Mark Driscoll several years ago about some of his hearers being matchsticks. I then examine writings of Martin Luther and John Calvin that could have contributed to Mark’s thought process. Finally, I discuss how the idea of unconditional election played a role in shaping the Puritans' views and treatment of Native Americans. You can hear Driscoll’s comment on human matchsticks on the podcast, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill by Christianity Today.

Then, I highlight two obvious errors by major early Christian writers. Finally, I talk about two issues the New Testament is silent about that one early Christian tried to treat like essential areas of the faith.

Jacob, Esau & Election

In Episode 97, I dig into the book of Romans to explore what Paul meant in Romans 9:13, “Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated.” Was Paul teaching us the doctrine of Unconditional Election, or did he have something completely different in mind?
