SRR 95 Responding To Emails, Shout Outs, and Covenant Theology

I do a podcast.

I'm not interested in your podcast. The anathema of God was for those who denied justification by faith alone. When that is at stake, we need to be on the battlefield, exposing the air and combating the air.

We are unabashedly, unashamedly Clarkian. And so, the next few statements that I'm going to make, I'm probably going to step on all of the Vantillian toes at the same time. And this is what we do at Simple Riff around the radio, you know.

We are polemical and polarizing Jesus style.

I would first say that to characterize what we do as bashing is itself bashing. It's not hate, it's history. It's not bashing, it's the Bible.

Jesus said, woe to you when men speak well of you. For their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way. As opposed to, blessed are you when you have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness.

It is on. We're taking the gloves off. It's time to battle.

Personal Updates and Ministry News

Alright, I want to welcome everybody back to the podcast. This is Semper Rifframanda Radio and my name is Tim Shaughnessy. So, it's been a while since we've done a podcast. Actually, maybe about a month or two.

And things have been pretty busy. But I am here today with my co-host, Carlos Montijo. So, Carlos, let me just welcome you back to the podcast and say hello.

Yeah, hey everyone. It's good to be back with you, Tim. I know we've been a little bit out of the loop with the podcast. But I know we've been busy. Got a lot of personal stuff going on. And I know you just had a baby.

And my youngest was born on April. And I've been very busy at work. And as you can hear, my child is coughing. We've had to deal with sickness and things like that. But it's good to be back on the show.

Got a new microphone. I'm excited to test it out. We have a lot of stuff to cover. And hopefully we can start dealing with some of these topics that we've been wanting to address for a while.

We do. We do have a lot to cover. We're not going to cover all of the serious topics today. We are going to really have a light episode today. We're going to read through some emails. And yes, Carlos, you're right.

My wife and I just had our fourth child. Owen Declan. That's what we decided on. I wanted Declan, Owen. And my wife, she wanted Owen Declan. So he's doing great. He's been busy because my daughter just turned two.

And she's having a rough time adjusting. So I've really had to step in and just try to manage with her. But it's such a blessing. He's healthy. We're happy. We're busy. Like you said. So today, we want to get back to the podcast.

Our goal for next year is to do the podcast more regularly. And right now, what we want to do is we just want to go through some emails. Get everybody caught up to date with where Semper Reformanda Radio is at.

Where Thorn Crown Ministries is at. Tell people a little bit about some things that we've got planned for the future. That we're trying to work towards. So Carlos, where should we begin? I mean, you wrote the show notes for today's episode.

So I'll let you take it away.

Yeah, we can start with... Well, I guess we already started with the personal updates. And I think... Given that it's the Saturday following Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for. I know we certainly have a lot to be thankful for.

I'm grateful for you, Tim. And for being able to... You know, doing the majority of the grunt work with the podcast. I'm really excited about Thorn Crown Ministries, where it's going. We've been moving a little slow.

I know that we haven't been able to put out things and roll out updates the way that I would like to. At the pace that I would like. But we're slowly starting to get there. We have a lot of updates to announce, actually.

So we can actually talk about that now, I guess. And kind of go through the... As we go through the emails, I'll be able to comment on them. So a lot of updates have been going on the website. We have...

I made some updates to it with respect to the tagging. And the categorizing and the tagging of the articles and the podcast episodes. So that they're more relevant. So if you click on a tag, like say...

You know, a certain topic like justification or Piper or things like that. It'll show you all of the relevant posts and podcasts and articles relating to that topic. So I've been working on that. I'm also working on putting out our first newsletter.

I know we've had a growing list of subscribers to our website. Which I'm very excited about. I'm very grateful for you all who subscribed. And if you haven't already, you still can. Obviously, you can just go to thorncrownministries .com.

You can sign up with your email. And I'm working on the first newsletter. I was supposed to get it out a couple months ago. But I got really busy at work. Got way behind on an account. I got pulled into an account that was like a year behind.

And so I've been slammed at work. And haven't been able to do much on the website. But I'm almost done with the newsletter. So be on the lookout for that soon. And we have a lot of really good articles and episodes coming out recently.

By basically everyone on our network. We've got lots of good stuff. Lots of good content. I know Steve Matthews. He's been publishing some really good articles. Dealing a lot with the current events and the state of affairs in the U .S.

And things like that. And Pastor Hines. We've been really thankful for him. He's been very consistently putting out really good stuff. And I finally finished part 2 of my John Piper critique. And that actually was finished back in September, I think.

And the newsletter was going to go out to kind of announce some of that stuff. Some of those updates. So yeah, I finished part 2 of the critique. I know we've been wanting to do an episode on that. Kind of cover some of the fatal flaws that John Piper's theology leads to.

And so we've got a lot of that stuff coming up. We've also got tons of topics that we want to discuss. We just have a lot to talk about. It's just been piling up. But I know we need to get through emails first.

And we're going to try to get caught up with emails on this episode.

Well, before we get to the emails, I just want to give a big thanks to Pastor Hines. He is blowing up the network. I can't keep up with... Well, you know, when I asked him to come on to the podcast. And do a podcast and just formalize it.

He was already doing this stuff. And if you go to Sermon Audio, he has over 600 sermons on different topics. I mean, he could literally put out three episodes a day. And he'd still be covered for a year.

Now, my math isn't bad. I'm saying in a year, he's going to put out over 300 new episodes. I know there's 365 days in a year. With him coming on now, the stuff that he's putting out now. In addition to the stuff that he already has.

He could blow up the network. And we love it. He's tackling so many issues that are so important. He tackled the Revoice conference. If you want to hear some good stuff on that. His commentary on it was very well done.

Be sure to check that out. Carlos, we're going to have to maybe get into this in a little bit. Because he just did some episodes on infant baptism. And have you had a chance to listen to those yet?

Not yet, but I definitely plan to look into that. Especially given the recent episodes that we had with Patrick Hines himself. And with Brandon Adams. We had a really good debate not too long ago. And that was one of our top episodes actually.

So, it's still one of the top episodes on our website. And our follow up interview with Brandon was also excellent. It was really eye opening. Learned a lot of things. And it kind of made me realize a lot of interesting issues in Presbyterian Covenant Theology.

So, I know we're very excited to talk about those things coming up right now. But before we get to that, I actually did want to mention... I wanted to mention some of the articles that I had specifically.

Some of the things that I wanted to mention. They're going to be part of the newsletter. I don't know if I can find it. Here it is. So, we have... Yeah, and I think Kauffman was also starting a new series, right?

The Diving Board.

Yeah, so Kauffman is like in the same boat that we are. He just got super busy at work. And I touched base with him. You know, basically we're all in this for the long term. So, I told him, I said, there's no need to feel the pressure to put something out every single week.

You're in it for the long term. For the long haul. I mean, we love Tim Kauffman. We plan on partnering with him for years to come. So, as soon as he's not busy with work, he's going to get back to it.

I mean, the same thing with Steve Matthews. Tim Kauffman, Steve Matthews, you, me, we all work secular jobs. Pastor Hines, he's a pastor. And so, he might be able to address these topics and these things in a quicker manner.

But Kauffman is doing great. He's going to get back to it whenever he can. And I really want him to get back to the eschatology stuff, man. That is really, really good. And, you know, one of the things I love about our network is we are all in agreement about the gospel and the essentials of the faith.

But, you know, it's interesting. I think it'd be interesting to hear Pastor Hines talk about eschatology because he has a different take on it. And, you know, it'd be interesting to set up a conversation between Tim Kauffman and Pastor Hines on that.

But I love the fact that, you know, we've got Reformed Baptists and we've got Presbyterians. And we can just, you know, disagree about certain issues and carry on. But I'll let you get to those articles.

What articles did you want to highlight for us today?

Network Updates, Articles, and Upcoming Projects

Yeah, so one of the things I'm really excited about are the network that we've got going at Thorn Crown. Because we kind of cover the whole gamut of, you know, the entire sphere of intellectual thought society.

I mean, we have Steve Matthews. So one of the articles, some of the newer articles from Steve Matthews, he talks about, like, the Bible. Actually, de-platformed the tech left's attack on free speech and why Christians should object.

So it covers a lot of current events, politics, you know, economics. A lot of really fascinating stuff. And so Pastor Hines as well, given that he's a very well-established Presbyterian pastor, PCA pastor.

And he's got excellent sermons and critiques of, you know, like you mentioned, the Revoice Conference and things like that. And so, you know, Tim Kauffman, he's just been amazing with his awesome, you know, episodes and articles on eschatology, which has been fantastic.

And I still need to go through those more carefully. And, you know, his critique of Catholicism.

I think everybody needs to go through those more carefully. I think everybody, like, those are episodes where you have to sit down and rewind and do study notes. I mean, they're intense.

Yeah, so we, and, you know, we suffer from an embarrassment of riches here. So there's so much here to equip the saints with and to empower, you know, people with sound doctrine and a proper view of the gospel.

So I'm really excited about a lot of the content that we've been putting out. I'm really thankful for the brothers that, you know, we've partnered with and have partnered with us. And so a big hearty shout out to them and a thank you to them for all that they're doing.

And so one of the, and this kind of ties to some of the future topics that we wanted to address, that we hope to address in the near future regarding especially this whole race issue, the social justice warrior craze that's just been going on everywhere.

I've had my blood boiling for a very long time, ever since I started listening to the entire, I listened to the entire MLK50 conference by the Gospel Coalition. And so I've got a loaded, I've got a loaded gun and I'm ready to use it.

So I'm really looking forward to talking about that and more than likely offending a lot of people. And it's going to be a very incendiary episode, but I think there's a lot of things that need to be said.

So I'm looking forward to discussing that, you know, discussing some of the, giving sort of a capstone episode on the John Piper stuff and kind of, you know, topping that off with discussing some of the fatal flaws that a lot of people don't seem to have addressed.

Some people have criticized him, rightfully so, and expressed a lot of concern. And even James Wyatt is starting to jump on that bandwagon, which is a good thing. But a lot of people haven't really been pointing out some of the things that are kind of obvious in one sense, but then you kind of have to like, you just have to think about things sometimes in a different way to point them out.

But yeah, so there's a lot of topics like that that we want to address in the near future. Also very excited to announce a, hopefully a debate that you and I will be having with Brian Harrison and a partner that he, a debating partner that he chooses at your church, Tim, at Horizon Christian Fellowship.

I think we're thinking sometime in February, right?

Yeah, so that's not a for sure thing on the location. I still need to talk to my pastor about it and ask him about it. But if he's not able to do it or at that church, then we'll definitely let people know where it's going to take place.

It would be you and me teaming up against Brian and whoever he picks to be his debate partner. And the topic would be something to do with morality. Can you have morality without God? Is God necessary for morality or something like that?

We watched him debate with one of our friends named Justin. And I plan on interviewing Justin. He's a really upstanding guy. And I think they both did really well. One thing that I appreciated about Brian, who's an atheist, was that he stuck to the topic and that he was very respectful.

And so I think it would be a good opportunity for us to debate him. And I think he would be arguing from a naturalist perspective. But whatever, we want to share the gospel. We want to really defend the Christian worldview over and against these other worldviews.

And I think it's a great opportunity to do that. So I still need to talk to my pastor and see what he says. We need to come up with a format and set a date. But hopefully that would be in February and it would give everybody enough time to prepare.

So yeah, we're looking forward to that.

Yeah, I think Brian is not a hard-nosed atheist. I think he's more of a soft naturalist. He says he's open to being convinced otherwise. But yeah, he's a very good person to debate with because he likes to stick to the issue.

And that's the most important thing, sticking to the main issue. And drawing that out.

And you saw the debate with him live, right?

Yeah, I went to the debate. He had a debate with Justin Kleist of Gospel West Ministries. You can check him out on Facebook. And I think he has a website too, gospelwestministries .com or gospelwest .com.

Good brother. He's been doing some ministry locally in El Paso. And in conjunction with some of the local evangelism group that we do. Kind of tied with my church and Ryan Denton, whom you know. We've interviewed before.

He's a local evangelist here. And so, yeah, he's a good brother. So we've been talking to him about how to best deal with the naturalist arguments and things like that. So, looking forward to that.

We're persuading him into Clarkianism, right?

Yeah.

And I think we've got some good, solid footing to work with. He doesn't buy into some of the more extreme or some of the more hard-nosed Vantelian positions. So I think we've got some good, promising allying with Justin.

He's a good brother. So looking forward to working with him in the future on that. And I think we're probably going to interview him and maybe even post up the debate that he had. So I'll be on the lookout for that.

Tell me a little bit more about Brian. He has a radio show in Las Cruces. So, obviously, you and I are in El Paso. In New Mexico, it's about 50 miles away. Is that right? He has a radio show?

Yeah, he has a segment. I think it's sort of like an NPR type of channel, I guess. I don't know much about it. I just know that he has a segment. But unfortunately, he doesn't record it. So you kind of just have to stream it while it's playing.

So he doesn't have a whole lot of recorded stuff just outside of the debate that he had with Justin. I guess he said he was still trying to get the other people who recorded his previous discussions that he had to share it with him.

But yeah, it's nothing new. A lot of the stuff he says is just the same washed-up naturalist arguments. But yeah, looking forward to that.

And so Justin and Brian are actually going to debate as well in February. And hopefully that will be at your church, right?

Yeah. The plan is, I think so far, is that we're going to try to see if we can set up a follow-up debate. Because first they talked about epistemology, which worldview best accounts for reality, something like that.

And the follow-up debate is going to be on morality at my church. The Old Past Christian Church in El Paso. So hopefully it's going to be Brian and Justin again. And so looking forward to that. So yeah, there's got some exciting lineups coming up.

And in addition to that, in February as well, I'm going to, Lord willing, start teaching a historical theology class at my church. So I'm really excited. I really enjoy studying church history and historical theology.

And right now we've been in the process of kind of selecting what text to use. So kind of leaning towards Bruce Shelley's Church History in Plain Language. It's a solid one-volume church history that I really like.

It's so far from what I've heard. I just ordered it, and Pastor Hines actually recommended it in one of his episodes. And I got really excited about it, where he was critiquing secular humanism, I think.

Secularism. And so that's what kind of really drew me to that.

Those episodes are so good.

Yeah, those are outstanding. So if you haven't listened to those, make sure you check those out. They're very good.

Excellent.

And our goal is for you to record those and then put them on the podcast, right?

Yes. Yeah.

Yeah, so I do plan to record those, the classes, the lectures, so that we can post them up on the podcast. So be on the lookout for that. And so, yeah, I guess now we can cover the emails. We have some emails that we've got to catch up on.

Email Responses and Listener Encouragement

So I want to see if I can start with here, back at... Let's see. Yeah, so we got a... I don't know if we addressed this one. This one is from John, back in January 17th of 2017.

He says,.

I appreciated your recent episode about your family. I will pray for you. Take care, John. I think that's the episode where you were kind of talking about your family background being Roman Catholic.

Yeah.

Man, I don't know if I did respond to John. Well, if not, let me respond to him here. I really appreciate that. Things got really bad with the family situation. And if you think about it, just pray about it.

Because there's a lot of brokenness. And it's painful. And my extended family, they're all Roman Catholics. And they absolutely do not appreciate what we're doing. Some of them obviously would be more upset than others.

Man, I just... It's personal and it's painful. And I would want my family to just know that I love them. I do love them. But just for the sake of being able to get through Christmas, I'm just not going to be able to say anything more.

But yeah, there have been some major controversies in the family. A lot of hurt and a lot of pain. And so, it's tough. But I'm not going to apologize for doing what we're doing. It's funny because I don't actually send these episodes out to my family.

They go looking for it and then they're offended. And it's like, you guys, you know that we're doing this. If you want to listen, great. If you don't, then I'm not forcing it on anybody. Yeah, I appreciate that.

I appreciate that a lot.

Yeah, so thank you to John from Cartersville, Georgia. So that was encouraging. I think our next email here is from a gentleman by the name of Ken Miller. We were aware of this email before. The plan was to address this email in a follow-up episode that I was hoping and planning to do regarding the Lordship Salvation controversy.

If you all recall, we did a couple of episodes following the Peter Christian discussion slash debate we had that you guys had with him. I kind of followed up with some critiques of Lordship Salvation and things like that.

That's another topic that we hope to address, especially diving as a springboard off of the Piper issue. There are some related problems that the Lordship Salvation and Piper's view of Final Salvation kind of have some overlap there.

So we do plan to address that in the near future as well.

Well, I think the Lordship Salvation issue is what's keeping a lot of people from seeing Piper's error. I do want to get into this a little bit more when we do the Piper episode because Fred Butler essentially made that claim that this is right in line with Lordship Salvation.

The question is, is Piper really teaching Lordship Salvation or is he teaching something else? In your article, you actually quoted MacArthur favorably, showing that he contradicts Piper. But I think that the Lordship Salvation issue, which mainly attempts to address antinomianism brought on by the easy-believism and the free-gracers and all those guys, they're trying to harp on the three-fold definition of faith, which is notitia, sensus, and fiducia.

I think that a lot of them are just giving Piper the benefit of the doubt and think that that's exactly what Piper is saying because you do hear Piper say, we can't say you can live like the devil and then enter heaven.

It's really unfortunate and so we do need to dig into that a little bit more. We also need to just tackle that when we tackle the issues with Piper. I thought it was really interesting because one of the things that Fred said was that Piper, he's not going to say that Piper is teaching a false gospel because Piper is not preaching a strictly Roman Catholic view of justification.

And I found that amazing because it's like the Roman Catholics don't teach a strictly Judaizer view of justification either, but they fall into the same camp as the Judaizers. So you can't just say, well, is this strictly Roman Catholic?

Of course not. But it's essentially making the same error that the Judaizers made when you tack on works and you say that you don't get into heaven by faith alone, you get justified by faith alone. And I've got a pretty good way to work that out and deal with that.

We are going to cover that. And honestly, man, I hate talking about Piper. Truth be told, I really do. I feel like I'm telling people, your grandma's ugly. It's like I'm just insulting them because of the reactions that we get.

It's a hard topic to talk about. This isn't a topic that people are really saying, hey, you did a great job. We really liked it. There's a few people that are saying that, but it's a difficult subject.

I don't even want to talk about it in church anymore because it's almost like people weren't receptive to it initially. It's like, how do I approach this again without getting people upset? We're going to be in prayer about that when we do talk about it.

I just wanted to throw that out there.

It's a dividing line issue. It's definitely not a secondary matter. I'm actually very grateful for this controversy because I learned a lot from it. I thought I understood justification before. Going through this controversy helped me to realize just how deep the work of Christ and justification really goes throughout the entirety of salvation and the Bible.

I've gotten a lot out of it. I know some of this stuff is not pleasant to a lot of people because they like Piper. They've been blessed by certain aspects of his ministry, blah, blah, blah. A lot of these people don't really know what Piper actually teaches.

That's part of the irritation that I've experienced. These people act like they just got off the phone with Piper and they know him personally. Like, oh, he would never do or say that. They really don't know what he's teaching.

That's why we provided extensive articles critiquing the entirety of his ministry for going back decades. This is nothing new for Piper. He's just becoming a lot more explicit now. We definitely are going to continue to hammer the point home that he is preaching a false gospel and it is a damnable heresy.

We definitely will be talking about that more. You can already read the articles. We've talked about some of them already. You can check out part two of my critique on the Thorn Crown website. Also, relating to the Lordship issue, the Lordship Salvation guys are dangerously inconsistent.

I would say they're maybe not as bad as Piper is, but they are dangerously inconsistent. I think part of the problem is that they try to... That system of salvation is probably the most consistent attempt to systematize the threefold view of faith, the Notitia, Census, and Fiducia.

Doing that actually leads to some serious problems. Some people might take issue with that, I know, but we can unpack that more in a future episode. I think it's very important to point that out and how helpful it is to understand Clark's view.

The view that Clark taught of faith and that Augustine taught. That's been kind of lost with this whole threefold view of faith that has been emphasized, unfortunately, by even some prominent Reformed theologians.

Well, let me just point out that I already did an episode on that by myself. I tackled the threefold Latin definition of faith. I was actually going to send this episode to Paul Flynn of Megiddo Radio, I believe it is.

I recently heard him talking about the threefold Latin definition of faith, Notitia, Census, and Fiducia. But it was... Let me see if you want to go back and listen to it. It was Semper Reformanda Radio, episode number three, Doing the Will of My Father in Heaven and Demonic Faith.

One of the things that I argued was that people butcher Matthew 7, 21 through 23. And they butcher James 2, verses 18 and 19, where it talks about even the demons believe in Shudder. And I think you're right.

John Robbins, Gordon Clark, they pointed out the mistake, which really I think is a wrong definition of faith. It's really interesting because going back to the Lordship Salvation, it seems to me that the Easy Believism guys, that they actually have a right definition of faith.

It's belief, and that's what it is. But because they neglected the doctrine of regeneration, they allowed for antinomianism. And so the Lordship guys countered that with this threefold definition of faith, in which fiducia, or trust, becomes some sort of extra psychological element of faith.

And it becomes extremely problematic. And it leads them to butcher verses like Matthew 7, 21 through 23, or James chapter 2. And they denigrate intellectual ascent as faith. And they use these weasel words like mere intellectual ascent.

And consequently, they say things like, it's not enough to just believe. And then they say something else, and it's like, wait a minute, it is enough to believe. The problem is, is that they don't believe.

If they really did believe, then there would be a change. And so you see this, and it's tragic. It's like, it's not enough to just merely believe. First of all, if you believe, that is because of the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.

That is not just mere belief. I mean, just think about it. Nobody's going to believe unless God regenerates them and gives them faith. And so it's not like, it's tragic when they denigrate faith as mere intellectual ascent.

And so we define faith in the same way that Clark would, and that is intellectual ascent to understood propositions. And so all saving faith is intellectual ascent to propositions, but not all intellectual ascent to propositions is saving faith.

So obviously, if you don't believe in a six day literal creation, well, sorry to say you're wrong, but you can still be a Christian. So yeah, that's my take on that.

Yeah, we've talked a lot about that before. So there's several episodes we've already addressed that issue, and we'll continue to. Specifically, I want to critique MacArthur's perspective as well, because we never finished that.

I never got to finish that, so I'm hoping to finish that up as well. But yeah, part of the problem is that MacArthur very poorly distorts Matthew 7. But ironically, he has a very incredibly excellent commentary on Hebrews 12 .14, which is the verse that says that the striving for holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

That's one of the main verses that Piper hammers on to justify his view of final salvation. And MacArthur, interestingly enough, has actually a very good commentary on that verse, which is what I quoted in my critique of Piper.

They have their inconsistencies. I think Piper is more so inconsistent, dangerously so, heretically speaking. But yeah, the Lordship Salvation has a very dangerous... And, you know, they have a lot of issues, and I don't think it's a stable view, biblical understanding of salvation on those issues that we've talked about.

Well, let me ask you a question about something you said a few minutes ago. You said that the Lordship Salvation is dangerously... You used the word dangerously. I wanted to let you finish your thought, so I didn't interrupt you when you said it.

Can you repeat that, and can you explain that? Is that an exaggeration, or what do you mean by that?

No, just that they're dangerously inconsistent.

Dangerously inconsistent. So, what do you mean by dangerously? Are you saying...

Well, you're kind of... yeah, and you're kind of touching on something that I was hoping to publish. So, the Piper critique was actually meant to be part one of an extended series of critiques of other Protestants who make similar errors, and I was going to address MacArthur in a future article regarding his view of... the whole Lordship view.

Because he says things in his book, The Gospel According to Apostles, for example, and in a lot of his preaching and sermons, he says that in Matthew 7, that the mark of the believer on the final judgment will be his obedience instead of his faith.

And so, we've already hammered the point home repeatedly at Thorn Crown Ministries by several of our authors. We've communicated to people that that is exactly what Christ condemned those religious hypocrites in Matthew 7 for.

They showed their works on the final judgment, and Christ said to them, depart from me, you workers of iniquity, you practice lawlessness. That is not what gets you into heaven. It is not your works. Your works don't confirm anything.

They confirm your faith in a human sense, from a human perspective, but what gets you into heaven is faith alone and Christ alone. Period. And so, MacArthur, unfortunately, makes that leap in Matthew 7, talking about obedience rather than faith.

And so, you know, it's just very dangerous, and he's gone... He's made serious errors before, and he's corrected them, but there's still a very dangerous propensity of lordship salvation to go in the wrong direction.

So, yeah, there's some more detailed critiques that will be coming out in the future, hopefully, regarding that.

Yeah, thanks for explaining that.

Yeah, so I want to give a thank you to Ken Miller. He provided us some very detailed emails regarding his personal experience, I think, in a lordship church. I think he's a Lutheran pastor now. Yeah, and he was also grateful that we talked about some of our critiques, and mentioning some of the really good articles on the Trinity Foundation, where they critique MacArthur's faulty view on things like faith, and his view of salvation, and things like Matthew 7, and things like that.

So I want to give a thank you to Ken Miller for that. We are, hopefully, going to address some of those things that he mentions in a future episode. So, going on to our next email... I think we have here Adrian from Bristol, UK.
