hmmm, it does say all our hairs are numbered,, you think that means when a hair falls out, God instantly knows the count went from 2,019 to 2,018? wow !!!


No -- that hints of openess theology [:)]

He already knows how many will fall out tomorrow and how many will will end up with when we die. For me that would be easy! Probably 0.

Doug,
I'd love to have you and your precious family for dinner and enjoy a summer's eve chat on the deck. What is openess theology? I have never heard of it.



TheoJunkie -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/9/2008 2:17:28 PM)

Speaking of sermons, podcasts, and food for thought...

John Piper's "Ask Pastor John" podcast for today was pretty interesting...

The question was something about why we do works if our salvation is by grace. In answering, Piper noted that far from "paying off debt", our doing works actually represents INCREASED debt to God, because it is only by continuing grace that we do the good works we do. So every time we do a good deed, rather than thinking good of ourselves for moving closer to God... we really need to fall down in thankfulness ever more that he gave us even more grace to do what we did.

FYI, "Ask Pastor John" is a 5-minute Q/A podcast where he answers email questions people send in (usually one question per day).

I love Piper, but one question a day is about all I can handle with him. [sm=rollingeyes.gif]

How did you miss out on that controversy?

Openness theology is the heresy going around these days that God does not know the future because He is moving through time just like we are. So, when bad things happen, he is just as surprised as we are. It reminds me of that KFC hot wings commercial, "Oh! I didn't see that coming!"



Doveflight -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/9/2008 9:05:33 PM)

Gee, Honest, Doug, I haven't heard a thing. It's current now? Isn't that emergent that is the big controversy or is that over? Guess with cancer and divorce my head has been elsewhere. Thanks for catching me up.



IMA_CHRISTIAN -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/10/2008 4:17:51 PM)

I've been listening very intensely to RC Sproul, his podcast series on 'hard sayings of Jesus" now its really interesting because he touches on one question that plagues reformed theologists - or rather the ones who fight reformed theologians - and he answers it in like 20 minutes, perfect! he states what the questioner would ask and all his doubts and arguments, and puts them succinctly to rest! i cant get enough.

Between he and Paul Washer, mostly, God is really doing something intense with my learning and I love it.. I ride the train to and fro work for about an hour each way and its perfect - 2 hours of preaching every day!!! (I got an i-pod and downloaded sermons so that i could take advantage of the time on purpose and its been a blessing!!!!).



doinkdom -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/10/2008 4:28:59 PM)

My husband looooves Paul Washer.[:)]

Unfortunately it is still current, although you would think such a rediculous heresy would be put to rest right away.

The emergent church is another topic altogether!

It sounds like I need to check out Paul Washer. Who is he and where can I find him?



doinkdom -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/10/2008 4:48:15 PM)

It's Paul David Washer and he heads up Heartcry Missionary Society - at least I think that's then name.

He's very bold and makes no excuses.

You can find one sermon from a few years back here.

When I consider this concept I think of Paul coming to understanding how far from God he was and how that realization grew in him as he was shown all so well the doctrine of God's grace... The above is clearly why Paul said of himself and Apollo’s, we are nothing, it is God who causes the growth; as well regardless that he labored more than others, it is only by God’s grace... It's strange at times cause many times when garnersome new revelation in God's word many times it knocks me down because I realized how awful I have been and why on earth does God give me the time of day... Sometimes I wish He would just take me home...

John

Ya, it's hard to go wrong listening to those two, such solid teaching that is getting so hard to find anymore, at least around where i live. It's hard being reformed doctrinally and finding nothing better than a Calvary chapel to attend. No offense to anyone who likes the CC's, but i need more than a tickled ear.

Yup, ditto.



DougHorton -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 11:47:47 AM)

What else do y'all listen to?

I regularly listen to Renewing Your Mind, White Horse Inn, and Steve Brown's stuff on Key Life, Thinkspots, Steve Brown Etc, the Brown Sessions, and the rest of his gang on Etcetera. I also listen to Joe and Melissa Johnson on Watching Theology and Watching the Directors.

And of course monergism.com has a huge list of things to listen to.

I get all of this for free online!



doinkdom -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 11:53:14 AM)

Mark Driscoll
John MacArthur
Tim Keller

doinkdom -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 12:10:22 PM)

I think I'm pretty caught up on all my SG listening... at least for a little while.

I've listened to Ligon Duncan in the past and have read his books.

Same for Dever.

I find it sometimes hard to listen to Sproul - I usually read his stuff as I do with Piper.

I haven't listened to Steve Brown in a month or so, but I love hearing him talk. I get his monthly cd's.

Good list...



DougHorton -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 12:44:41 PM)

I'm listening to Steve Brown right now. [:)]

Good list. I would also add stuff by Mark kielar, James white and Jeff noblit.



HisFish -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 1:08:38 PM)

Anyone know where to DL any good audio debates, specifically grace vs freewill, or eschatology, other than sermon audio?.



DougHorton -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 1:17:18 PM)

I can't say for sure, but my guess would be that you might find some at monergism.com.



doinkdom -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 1:32:28 PM)

Who's the apologetics guy who wrote More Than A Carpenter?

He obviously enjoys debates, you might find something at his website.



DougHorton -> RE: Reformed Theology Chat Thread (7/11/2008 1:44:14 PM)

That would be Josh McDowell
