Refuting Calvinism with Phil Bair
1w ago02:42:41Tap to summarizeIn this riveting installment of Apologetics Live, Andrew Rappaport engages in an intense dialogue with Phil Bear regarding the complexities surrounding Calvinism and its implications on free will and divine determinism. Central to their discussion is the assertion that Calvinism espouses exhaustive divine determinism, a principle that claims God's will dictates all events in the universe, including human thoughts and actions. Bear articulates his contention that such a view leads to the conclusion that God is the author of sin and deception, raising profound moral questions about the nature of God and human agency. Rappaport, in turn, defends the notion of human responsibility and the compatibility of free will with God's sovereignty, emphasizing that individuals possess the capacity to choose their beliefs. The episode delves into theological intricacies, including the interpretation of scriptural passages, the nature of God's will, and the existential implications for believers. This thought-provoking exchange challenges listeners to reconsider their understanding of salvation, divine foreknowledge, and the interplay between God's sovereignty and human decision-making, making it an essential episode for anyone seeking to deepen their theological insights.Takeaways:The discussion centers around the theological implications of divine determinism and human free will, with both speakers presenting their views on how these concepts relate to Calvinism and Arminianism.Phil Bear argues that Calvinism's doctrine of exhaustive divine determinism leads to logical contradictions regarding God's nature and human accountability, emphasizing the importance of human choice in salvation.Andrew Rappaport presents a counter-argument that emphasizes God's sovereignty while also affirming human responsibility, advocating for a harmonious understanding of both in the context of biblical scripture.The podcast delves into the nuances of biblical interpretation, examining specific scriptures to highlight the complexities of soteriology and the interplay between divine grace and human action in the process of salvation.Phil Bear emphasizes that the warnings in Scripture indicate a genuine possibility for believers to stray from faith, while Andrew Rappaport argues that these warnings should not be interpreted as an indication of losing salvation.The episode concludes with a mutual respect for each other's theological positions, recognizing that despite disagreements, both participants are committed to a robust engagement with Scripture and Christian doctrine.Mentioned in this episode:What do We Believe by Andrew Rappaport

Transcribe →Didaché - Bill Johnson Tells A Lie (And Why He Is The Kamala Harris Of The Evangelical World)
1w ago00:25:59Tap to summarizeBill Johnson told a crowd at the 2026 Southwest Believers Convention that he has personally watched people healed the way the sick were healed in Acts 5, when Peter's shadow passed over them. Justin Peters' answer is blunt: no he hasn't. Everyone carries a smartphone — where is the video? And where does the text even say the shadow healed anyone?Working clip by clip through the Bethel Church pastor's message, Peters tests each claim against Scripture. Johnson's line that recognising "the actual presence of God" is the supreme value collapses under Psalm 139:7-10 and Jeremiah 23:23-24, where God fills heaven and earth. His claim that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer but does not rest upon every believer runs straight into Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and Galatians 4:6 — and Peters argues it is charismatics, not cessationists, who hold the low view of the Spirit, since "spirit-filled Christian" is simply redundant.He also takes on "your shadow will always release whatever overshadows you," the twisting of "seek first the kingdom," and Johnson's heaven-to-earth divine health teaching, which Peters names as an over-realised eschatology — noting, without joy, that Johnson's own wife died of cancer, and that the faith healer still wears eyeglasses.This one matters because meaningless spiritual-sounding platitudes are how false doctrine gets past discerning ears. Acts 3:6 shows what a real miracle looked like.➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.

Transcribe →Didaché - Jesse Duplantis Tells One Whopper Of A Lie
1w ago00:10:59Tap to summarizeA preacher claims YouTube demonetized his channel because he was pulling more viewers than Jimmy Kimmel. It takes about two minutes with a public analytics site to prove that false — and Justin Peters does exactly that.Jesse Duplantis is one of the fixtures at Kenneth Copeland's 2026 Southwest Believers Convention in Fort Worth, Texas, alongside Bill Johnson, Jonathan Shuttlesworth, Mac Hammond, Creflo Dollar and Benny Hinn. In his first message of the week, Duplantis told the crowd YouTube had shut off his monetization for too many views and compared him to Jimmy Kimmel. Peters pulls the SocialBlade numbers on screen: Duplantis has 277,000 subscribers to Kimmel's 22,100,000, and 61 million lifetime views to Kimmel's 16 billion — a factor of 262. Average views per video: 13,000 against 2 million.Beyond the numbers, Peters points to the pattern. Word-faith preachers spend almost no time in the text, filling roughly ninety percent of their time with stories about themselves. Scripture describes such men plainly: greedy, eyes full of adultery, many following their sensuality, caring only for themselves. And a man with no fear of putting words in the mouth of the God who spoke the universe into existence and upholds all things by the word of His power will have no hesitation about exploiting you either.This one matters because it hands listeners a concrete, verifiable example of a celebrity preacher lying — and a reason to stop trusting him.➡️ Click here to find all of Justin’s essential links.
