Radio Free Geneva: The "Calvinism: Doctrine of Demons" Trailer, Greg Laurie & More Steven Anderson

Calvinism as a Doctrine of Demons Trailer and the Blood of Christ

Because they've chosen to follow John Calvin instead of Jesus Christ. I have a problem with them. They're following men instead of the Word of God.

I'll be the one, hands, standing on top of my feet, standing on a stump and crying out,. He died. Those who elected were selected.

First of all, James, I'm very ignorant of the reformers. I think I probably know more about Calvinism than most of the people who call themselves Calvinists.

Ladies and gentlemen, James White is a hyper-Calvinist.

Now, whatever we do in Baptist life, we don't need to be teaming up with hyper-Calvinists. I said the other day in class that I don't understand the difference between hyper-Calvinism and Calvinism.

It seems to me that Calvin was a hyper-Calvinist. Right, I don't think there is typically any difference between Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism. Read my book.

And now, from our underground bunker, deep beneath Bruton Parker College, where no one would think to look, safe from all those moderate Calvinist Dave Hunt fans and those who have read and re-read George Bryson's book, we are Radio Free Geneva, broadcasting the truth about God's freedom to say for His own eternal glory.

So, just like 15 minutes, less than 15 minutes before the program starts, I hear a phone call across the way here. And all I can tell you is that the next time we have Radio Free Geneva, there will be a new version of the Radio Free Geneva theme.

However, when you send it 15 minutes before the program starts, it's not going to work out to be able to drop it into the software. So, sorry about that. You all would have... I would be looking forward to hearing what changes have been made.

So, I'll get to hear it before you all get to hear it. What bunker will we be in? Yeah, I'm wondering what bunker we'll be under, too. I didn't get the... I hate packing up. It just takes, you know, I like how things are, and we just have to move everything someplace else.

And, oh, I hate those boxes. It's just, you can never find some things ever again. And then, when you're moving furniture, you actually find stuff that you thought you had lost forever. There are a couple rings that I'm really hoping someday, if I ever, you know, just move everything out of the house, I might find someplace, or my kids will, once I'm dead and they're getting rid of all my stuff.

Anyway, welcome to Radio Free Geneva, where we deal with the worst and the best of criticisms and attacks upon the Reformed faith. We've been doing this, I don't know when we started Radio Free Geneva.

I honestly don't even remember. We had to look through the archives and see when Radio Free Geneva first appears. I wonder when we came up with that idea. I think the first bunker was under Liberty, wasn't it?

So it was when Kanner was at Liberty. And we had a version for a while that Milo Hotzenbuehler did for us, a Clyde Bauman member. But he can't play a guitar the way that... No, so, yeah. We appreciate everyone who has contributed to our Radio Free Geneva efforts in the past.

And we've been doing a few of them recently, because we did two in response to the unbelievable radio broadcast and the statements... Well, it wasn't a broadcast, but the article that was put out on that subject.

And, you know, actually, it wouldn't be overly difficult to do Radio Free Geneva every week, because I get sent stuff all the time. Someone's saying this, someone's saying that. It wouldn't be difficult to fill the airwaves, but to be honest with you, a lot of it is repetitive.

But we have new listeners all the time, and so I was just at various places. I was in St. Charles. The primary places I just visited over about 11 days on the road was St. Charles, Missouri, my 17th year coming to the church there.

And then I was in Pryor, Oklahoma. Or Pryor Creek is the technically legal name there. And so, you know, I get to meet all sorts of folks that I wouldn't normally get to meet, because, let's be honest, especially Pryor, Oklahoma is the classic definition of flyover territory.

And a lot of the folks there are just thankful that anyone will come to do anything in a town as small as Pryor, Oklahoma, where you just have to slow down for a few stoplights on your way through when you're a trucker.

And I'm not sure how many people are there, but it's not a lot, though they do have a huge Google computing facility there. Honestly, this is Skynet. We just got the name wrong, but it's Skynet, and it's out there.

So anyway, we were out there. Oh, bad connection? We having problems? Yeah, Rich says he's working on it. Great. Wonderful. I said something about Google, and I shouldn't have identified the location of Google's server farm there, but they do have a server farm.

But just as long as it's recording, we'll get it up there eventually and do our best. I apologize for that. Sometimes we go for weeks without a problem at all, and then it starts. I don't know what it's all about.

You would think at this juncture in the advancement of technology that this would no longer be an issue, but it is. So anyways, I'm going to have to minimize a few things here. And now I've lost the screen.

Did we just crash? Okay, now it's back. So I had to minimize the channel and stuff like that. I don't need to be seeing everybody going, I can't hear you. It's nothing I can do about it. Nothing I can do about it at all.

I just have to do the program, and we'll get it up eventually just without the live audience interaction, which on Radio Free Geneva isn't necessarily the primary thing you need to be focusing upon anyways.

The Calvinism Trailer and the Blood of Christ

So the first thing we want to look at certainly is an item that I have mentioned in the past, over the past couple weeks, and we just didn't get around to it. And that is the Calvinism documentary teaser that appeared a few weeks ago.

I don't know when it first appeared, but there is a documentary. Yeah, well, you know, documentaries normally require some level of, you know, research and things like that. I'm not thinking that's what we're really looking at here, to be honest with you.

Hey, do you see my... I guess I will forget that. When people ask you, why would you go to Pryor, Oklahoma? This was one of the reasons. Pastor Derek Melton, the pastor there, this is the third time I've been there.

I didn't know about this until after the last time I was there. He is the former assistant chief of police. He was head of SWAT down there. He was telling me some of his SWAT stories, which are just absolutely amazing.

But, you know, Jeffrey Rice, who does the beautiful rebinds, I was using my Greek text down there, and, you know, people are coming up and they're sort of nervous that they'd sort of like to just see it, or maybe, you know, just touch it, this type of thing, you know.

And it keeps turning on and off. I'm not sure what's going on with it. I'm sorry? It is? Oh, okay. Anyway. So, anyway, Pastor Melton has one of Jeffrey Rice's... In fact, it was Kofi and Derek. It was their posting pictures of their Bibles that got me in touch with Jeffrey Rice, post-Denver Lux Bible rebinding, and that's how my Greek text came along, and then Jeff Durbin's ESV, and everything else that has happened since then.

Anyway, then one day, I see something from Jeffrey Rice, and he has a Derek Melton knife. A Derek Melton handmade forged knife. I didn't know about this, and so I don't know how I sort of suggested, but he makes...

It says Melton forged right on it, and check out that handle. I mean, that is a beautiful knife there. So, thank you. Oh, there we go. Thanks very much to Pastor Melton for my own handmade. Now, please do not be bothering Pastor Melton writing to the church.

I don't want a knife. I don't want you to get caught. You know, all that kind of stuff. I mean, unless he wants to go into, you know, making some extra money for the... You know, now that he's retired from the police force, you know, just bored or something.

I know he's not, so... Anyways, so that's what was sitting over there. I brought it in. I was going to mention that. It has nothing to do with Radio Free Geneva. Sorry about that. For those of you who are going, come on, just get to it.

I just want to see it. Relax, relax. All right, so here comes... What? Google's working again, huh? Okay. Maybe the folks in Pryor got it working. Who knows? Maybe I shouldn't mention that. I don't know.

Anyways, let's... This is only two and a half minutes long, but it's the teaser for this documentary that is coming up. Let's all enjoy this together, shall we? Oh, oh, oh. Helps if you actually plug the computer into the sound.

We didn't test that. Here we go.

Do I think he had to actually die, actually bleed? Not to save us. Not to save us. But we are not saved by his blood. But we are not saved by his blood.

One of the great and ghastly errors, not just error, but heresies, that permeates the evangelical world today is the doctrine of the carnal Christian.

Paul said, I am carnal.

When a child is raped, is God responsible and did he decree that rape?

If he didn't, then that rape is an element of meaningless evil that has no purpose.

God doesn't need me to round up the elect.

If you understand that God actually is the one who grants repentance and faith and salvation.

And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Oh, yeah. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with famed words make merchandise of you, whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

I'll hang with these guys. All right. Coming in 2019 is another example of the fact that the independent fundamentalist King James Only Baptist have learned how to use iMovie. I'm sorry. What version of iMovie?

Is there only one inspired version of iMovie? Oh, I don't know. I haven't kept up with that. Wow. Okay, so there you go. I guess there... You know, it's funny. You posted a link to... You put together a big, long YouTube video list of me preaching all over the place.

You've been busy. Yeah, but I mean, probably ten different cities, ten different... Why can't they find video of me talking? They just have to use a headshot? They ain't looking, that's why. And a bow tie?

I mean, what is that all about? Somebody was getting bored. They could have used something from the interview we did with Anderson or something, you know? I mean... Anyway. So there you go. I'm very pleased to be listed, even though they didn't use any video of me, with all those folks.

Of course, I have to admit... When you play a portion of a sentence and then you slow it down and repeat it... That is pretty much the indication of someone who really might not want to be arguing with the big boys and probably isn't up to that task.

Yeah, that's what you got going on out there. Let's go back through that point by point a little bit. It's not like there was much argumentation there, but anybody who knows anything about Dr. MacArthur's ministry over the years knows that this blood issue is like...

How old? I mean, I remember defending Johnny Mac on that one back in the... At least early 90s. It goes back, I think, into the 70s, minimally into the 80s, and has been addressed 142 ,476 times on the Grace To You website.

There are articles there. There's just all sorts of... So let me just... Before we replay it again, let's just lay it to rest immediately. Dr. MacArthur does not deny the efficacy of the sacrificial death of Jesus.

He's not saying that Jesus could have been killed in some other way. What he's arguing against are those people, like these folks, who separate the physical substance of blood from the giving of the life.

So when you think about the nature of substitutionary atonement, when the scriptures emphasize having been justified by His blood, this is a common term used throughout the New Testament, but you have to ask yourself the question, what would the people who first read these words and heard them preached have understood them to be saying?

And they would not have understood it in some King James-only, fundamentalist, westernized understanding of blood as a physical substance that almost takes on magical properties or something. The shedding of blood is the giving of life, because the life is in the blood.

So substitution is the giving of that one perfect life in behalf of others. I remember in my ancient fundamentalist days long, long ago, that there was sort of this idea of almost a magical element to the idea of blood, so that people actually get into arguments about how much blood would be required and all the rest of this kind of stuff, and it's an absurdity.

It's the person who gave his life voluntarily on the cross. It's who he was. He was the God-man, and because he was the God-man, the voluntary giving of his life is what provides for full atonement.

There is no limitation to the efficacy of that sacrifice. The question is what the intention of that sacrifice is and who is united to him in his death. There is such a shallow, empty doctrine of atonement amongst so many fundamentalists.

It becomes a trope. You don't see the relationship of the atoning work of Christ to such things as election, because they don't believe in election, and to the incarnation. You don't see the relationship because you don't see it's the life that is being given.

You don't understand the centrality of incarnation, why that's important. By the way, that's really, really important in dealing not only with Eastern Orthodox understandings of these things, but with Muslim understandings of these things.

It has multiple applications. That's why the Christian truth is such a multifaceted, beautiful thing. Once you start putting it into the various holes, remember how you used to have at a school or at work, you'd have your little mailbox, your little cubbyhole, and people would put notes for you and stuff in there.

What people do is they'll take Christian truth and they've got their church cubbyhole and their Bible cubbyhole and their Jesus and their Atonement and their God the Father and eschatology, that's a big one, and all these other little cubbyholes they stick stuff in.

That ends up with everything separated out rather than connected together, rather than seeing the beauty of the Christian faith as it is a consistent whole. It's funny. The liberals don't see that because they don't believe the Scripture is sufficient enough to give you that beauty.

Then the independent fundamentalist Baptists don't see that because they're afraid of interacting with other people and learning about what's out there so as to see that, oh, I never thought of this particular perspective.

Even the benefit you get, for example, there are all sorts of different theories of Atonement. If you don't know what they have been, you can't take the good from even the ones that you would say are insufficient.

There is the Christus-Victor model. There is an element of truth to that, but you'll never know that element of truth until you're actually willing to listen to somebody. Whatever the title of it, Doctrine of Demons, what's the whole point here?

These people are afraid. They are afraid. All this bluster, this yelling, this screaming, Steve Anderson is a fearful man. These other preachers are fearful men. They are fearful of losing control over their people when their people would listen to something that they actually can't handle.

One of the primary aspects of fundamentalism is fear. Fear of encountering anything out there. Well, we send our kids off to school and they came back and they were just completely messed up. Well, I understand that.

Maybe you should have prepared them before you sent them and not prepare them by closing their minds, but by expanding their minds, saying, this is what you're going to be told and this is where it's presuppositionally in error, blah, blah, blah.

That's how you do it. Anyway, getting back to the MacArthur thing, the whole idea here is that he has a much more biblical and full doctrine of the atonement than the fundamentalists. Remember, back in the 60s and 70s, Johnny Mac would have viewed himself as a premillennial dispensationalist in the absolutely strongest fundamental mold.

It was those guys that came after him as he is growing in his theology and growing in his understanding as he recognizes some of the problems and the narrowness that exists in the mindsets of those groups.

And man, did they go after him just right, left, and center, and you're denying the blood of Christ, and you're denying this, and you're denying that. And he wasn't. He was just simply saying, the blood is not the issue.

It is the giving of life. And that's exactly what the people who originally read the New Testament would have understood. They wouldn't have been going magical stuff and that kind of thing. So, preemptive refutation of the beginning of this here, as well as some necessary mocking of the slowing it down to make emphasis thing.

Come on, guys. I really hope, you know. I mean, maybe it's really fun in iMovie to do something with the speed thing like that, but 12-year-olds do that on YouTube all the time, so you might want to skip that.

So, I don't know which Faith Baptist Church this is, to be honest with you. And it does bother me that the Faith Baptist Church presents is off-center. It is. It's off-center. Remember that guy that criticized R .C. Sproul because their pulpit wasn't in the center of the stage?

Just trying to be consistent. Just trying to be consistent. That sounds like something out of M. Night Shyamalan thing right there, isn't it? In fact, we might want to check. They may have stolen it from M. Night Shyamalan.

Calvinism, a doctrine of devils. Got a little color phasing going on there. That's pretty cool. I'm sure it's preset somewhere in iMovie. Do I think he had to actually die, actually bleed? No, not to save us.

Not to save us. Okay, Romans 5 -9, being now justified by his blood, which is to say, from the wrath of him, because of his giving of his life, the issue was not the copious amount of blood. And by the way, it'd be so easy if we wanted to use the same kind of argumentation that they do.

What we could do here is we could connect them to the papists' argument. Because they did that to everybody. Just throw that out there. You could have debated 30 of the leading Roman Catholic apologists in the world.

They'll still identify you as a papist. I happen to know this personally. But what we could say, what we could point out, is that Rome does the same thing with the idea of the blood of Christ. What's the basis of indulgences?

Is that the Pope said that all Jesus had to do was to bleed a single drop of blood. That would have been enough to redeem the entire human race. That's where the problem is. Because it doesn't matter how much.

It's the giving of the life. It's the giving of the life. That's the only thing that matters. But since he shed his blood copiously, this creates the thesaurus meritorum, the treasury of merit, to which is added the excess merit of Mary and of the saints and becomes the basis from which withdrawals are made in the form of indulgences.

So I guess these people must be papists. Right? I mean, okay, that's absurd, but that's the same reasoning they use, so why not?

But we are not saved by his blood. But we are not saved by his blood. You know, it would be great.

Maybe somebody will ask Phil. Phil might have the resources to do this. But I would love to see the rest of the sentence. You know, when you play a sentence and when you know, I mean, the guy's New Testament commentaries are like all over the place.

I mean, they're on street corners. I mean, they're so readily available. Do you really? Who are you aiming this at? Anybody who reads MacArthur knows what he believes about this. The centrality of the cross and the resurrection and everything else.

Who are you trying to fool?

You really wonder. One of the great and ghastly errors, not just error, but heresies that permeates the evangelical world today is the doctrine of the carnal Christian. Paul said,.

I am carnal. Yeah, but that ain't what R .C. Sproul was talking about now, is it? Now, I have no earthly idea what Anderson was talking about here. But hey, they threw him in with his really super cheesy wave breaking on the shore background stuff.

So they're evidently thinking that what he's saying when Paul says, I am carnal, that means that there is a proper concept of the carnal Christian doctrine, which, again, very popular amongst independent fundamentalist Baptists.

It goes with the non-lordship type of idea, the never examine yourself to see whether you're in the faith type of idea. The idea that, you know, it's the difference between once saved, always saved, and the perseverance of the saints.

Those are two different things. They are not the same thing. Sometimes they can be used interchangeably if the person intends it to be that way. But in most situations, when folks like this use once saved, always saved, what they mean is, you get your ticket punched, you can go live like you want.

You can just be a carnal Christian, live like you want, you're in the flesh, there's no, the spirit of God absolutely, completely fails. Just face plant fails in bringing about any sanctification in your life.

But hey, you're still going to heaven because you got your ticket punched. That's the independent fundamentalist Baptist concept. That's not sola fide. That is not sola fide. Can I say it again? That is not sola fide.

That is not what faith alone means. This again is what you get when you disconnect the elements. You know, does God have a purpose in election? And how is he going to accomplish that? Yeah, you can't talk about election.

You can't talk about these types of things. You just take these as individual snippets and there you go. When a child... Ah, here we go. How many times have we dealt with this one? Especially when this got added.

What was that? What did George Bryson call this? Remember he put out a new edition of his book about three or four years ago, maybe four or five years ago now. And I didn't know he had done it and I got hold of it somewhere.

Man, I'm wondering. You know what? Let me check this out here. Stuff falling on the ground. George Bryson. D-T-T-T. Is this the original one here? Those of you who are listening are wondering what in the world I'm doing.

Nah, this looks like the original Velo bound one. And I thought a new one came out. And maybe it did. Maybe I got it electronically or something like that. I don't know. But here is the original one. Don't you love...

The Dark Side of Calvinism. Do you have a filter like they've got? So I could even go lower? The Dark Side of Calvinism. Something like that. If I get that normal cough I get sometime during this. That always does it.

I can compete with Barry White on that one. But anyway, this was from the Bible Answer Man radio program saying that God decrees the rape of children. And this was... We have this available, of course.

It's on Sermon Audio, I assume. You can listen to it on Sermon Audio. The three hour Bible Answer Man debate. I can't tell you how many people I've met who became Reformed as a result of that. I've had people come up to me all across the world, literally.

Saying, when I first heard that I was yelling at my radio and I was angry at you. Just, you know... We're not talking one person. We're talking dozens of people that I've met around the world. Not just the United States, but in Europe, in South Africa, all over the place.

And they first listened to that and they were on the other side. But, anybody who listens to that program knows what happened in that program. And they know that it was a setup. They know it was an ambush.

They know that Hank Hanegraaff was working with George Bryson. I learned who had been doing the preparations and they were supposed to be working together. The problem is that Hank learned that day that you cannot work with George Bryson to try to trip people up.

Because George just doesn't work on that level. So it ended up being actually a tremendous advertisement for Reformed Theology. This is the only thing they can drag out. As I try to say, see? They isolate it from the entire discussion of what you have in Isaiah, what you have in Psalms, what you have in the teaching of Scripture.

God has a divine decree. And that, yes, even the existence of evil is a part of God's divine decree. If it is not, then it's purposeless. It has no reason. And at that point, Hank was trying to protect Georgianists because George's theology is not deep enough.

He hasn't thought it through well enough to answer questions that are at the top level of the discussion that are on primary issues. Primary issues like God's entire purpose in creation, the basis of God's knowledge, that type of stuff is not the George Bryson type stuff.

And so he was trying to steer it away from that because, in fact, Hank got angry with me, if you listen carefully. He got angry with me because I pointed out that the only direction that Hank could, that George could go with what he was saying about the knowledge of God was toward open theism.

I said, are you an open theist? And Hank's like, he's not an open theist! Well, that would be the consistent result of this type of argumentation. But yeah, once again, you're dealing with people here who want the worst horrible things in life to be completely random acts that God goes, oh, no!

Well, I'll do my best to try to make something good come out of this. That's the God they want. That's their perspective. In fact, yesterday on Twitter, Hasim, son of Ramallah, was having an interaction with somebody that I gather is a Lutheran, but one of the really, really, really anti-reformed Lutherans.

There are some Lutherans that aren't overly anti-reformed, but a lot of them are very anti-Reformation theology, Calvinism. And something was posted, one of the memes of my saying that, you know, Christ never fails to save any one of those for whom he died, and so on and so forth.

And his response was, what a puny God. You know, one could say, I have nothing, you are not a Christian. I have nothing. That attitude is extremely common. It's extremely common. If you want to be accepted in the broad spectrum of things, you would never hold the positions that I have held and continue to hold and defend along these lines.

You just wouldn't do it. Is God responsible, and did he decree.

That rape? If he didn't, then that rape is an element of meaningless evil that has no purpose. Yeah, so I'm going to be really interested. Knowing these types of folks, seeing the movies they've put out before, there's not going to be an answer to that.

It's just going to be laid out there and the assumption is going to be these people are such sheeplings that they will just simply go, and they'll never think about it. And they'll never go, oh well, if something horrible happens, is it better that God knew it was going to happen but didn't have any purpose for it?

Or is it better that he actually has a fundamental purpose for everything, being his eventual glorification? Huh, I wonder which one is better. God doesn't need me to round up the elect. R .C. Sproul was not saying, and that means we can just go out and do absolutely positively with anything we want.

That's not what he was saying. And it is absolute misrepresentation to say that he was. Why else was this put in there? Other than to try to insinuate to people that what reformed people are saying is that it's not going to be we have no role in evangelism.

Once again, God ordains the ends as well as the means. And so if we want to love God, we are going to obey him and do what he commands, and he commands us to proclaim his truth. I have a feeling, I haven't looked it up, maybe the folks at Ligonier would like to track down the exact context of that so they can be ready to demonstrate the misuse and abuse of it.

I would suggest it, but my guess would be that he's dealing with man-centered forms of evangelism where you utilize emotionalism, programs, basically try to trick people into a commitment to Christ rather than reliance upon the gospel.

That's just a wild guess. Who knows? Maybe. Hey! Here's this guy I've seen him before, and he's upright here. This is good. Sorry, Jeff.

You gotta admit, we're going to have to use that a few times in the future. God actually is the one who grants repentance and faith and salvation.

Then they blow up Jeff. God grants repentance and faith in salvation. Yeah, that's what the Bible teaches. Now, will this film engage Philippians 1 -29 which says it has been granted to us not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake, been granted to us, given to us as a gift to believe.

Oh, that sounds like faith is a gift. Will they deal with the best understanding of Ephesians 2, which is not a statement that the only gift that is given, that the gift from God is faith, but that everything in the preceding clause, because it's a neuter, feminine, two masculines, it's all wrapped up in one, that all of salvation, including faith, is a gift to God.

Will they deal with that? Will they deal with Peter's utilization of identification of faith as a gift? How about repentance? That God grants repentance, that that repentance leads you into salvation?

Will they deal with any of these things, or do you just simply throw it out there that these people are saying this and hope that the prejudice in the audience is sufficient to carry the point? When your argumentation, when your materials are dependent upon the prejudice of the people in the audience, I have no respect for that.

That is not a person who has a commitment to truthfulness, or even has any confidence that the truth will be used by God to accomplish God's purposes. Well, if you don't think God has any actual purposes as in a decree, well, I guess that's how it works.

Featuring... And I will give you pastors... Pastor Joe Major in the Faith Baptist Church. So, Google Pastor Joe Major Faith Baptist Church. I want to know where this place is, because first of all, he needs to get in touch with Steven Anderson's artist because that's just a single big old print behind him.

And he needs waves crashing on the floor, on the shore, or maybe a desert scene, you know, something really cheesy along those lines. And so we... People might want to contact him to offer their services to draw on the wall back there so he can...

We can't have these guys feeling intimidated by Steven Anderson. You know? Did you find him? Louisiana! Tyler? Violet? Violet, Louisiana. And Baton Rouge. Well, past... Wait a minute. It's a multi-campus?

No way. Okay. Alright. So, Faith Baptist Church, Pastor Joe Major, down in Louisiana. He's going to be the main guy.

There. ...which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And then, of course, we've got.

Kick the Pulpit, Steven Anderson. Kick the Pulpit, Get Yourself Tazed. Steven Anderson right there. Evangelist Adam Fannin. Steadfast Baptist Church. It says Jax. That must be Jacksonville. So we've got Adam Fannin.

A new one to me. I'm not sure why steadfast is not spelled correctly, but that's okay. Might just be a.

Cool thing. I don't know. But there were false prophets also.

And here come the false prophets. We've got Paul Washer. Yes. Yes, Paul Washer has done nothing but explode missions around the world and do stuff like that. And, yeah. Okay. There's Paul Washer. Even as there shall...

Well, the freakishly tall one is going to get a shot at in here. There you go, Todd. False teachers among you who privily shall bring... Yeah, go after the dead, why don't you? Actually, even if he was alive, R .C. would not pay the slightest attention.

He just left all this to the rest of us. I would tell him stories about some of these folks. And you just go, really? There are people like that? Damnable heresies, even denying the Lord... Yeah, good old Johnny Mac.

Terrible, horrible dude. Oh, John Piper. You know, the funny... Most people are not aware of this. They find it strange. I've never met John Piper. But I will next month. So, for the first time. I mean, as long as everything works out.

But at G3, I'm finally going to get to meet John Piper. And I've been told that he is so energetically, like, sucks the life force out of you. So you might want to be well-slept. You know, have a good night's sleep beforehand.

So, sort of like Princess Bride, you know, that sucks life out of you.

I'm just really bummed out. I mean, and I've got a nice big beard now, too.

Look, guys, you blew it. Because I would look so much more evil and fit into your schemes a lot better if you had the beard thing going. Because, you know, just a little goatee there is just like, you know.

Ah, Spurgeon, thank you. Oh, Calvin? Now he had the beard thing going. Yeah, alright. Coming in 2019. Well, I'm getting my tickets. I don't know about the rest of you. Folks, sometimes there are just certain things that deserve reviews like that.

It's a coming. It is a coming. Wow. A bunch of people asked me to take a look at this, and I'll be perfectly honest with you. Greg Laurie, okay, we're going to have a lot of things to disagree about, but this isn't all that bad for someone.

Hey, it's not like what you would just listen to. But I would like to offer just a thought or two on it. It's very, very brief, and it's extremely common. So instead of having the in-your-face nasty attacks upon Reformed theology and doctrines of demons and all the rest of the stuff, a lot of folks just try to sort of redefine the issues and say, nobody really knows.

There's no reason to be preaching all this stuff because, you know, it's like Spurgeon said. He's going to quote Spurgeon. He's going to say, how do you reconcile God's sovereignty and man's free will?

I don't reconcile friends. Well, that's nice. That's sort of like the sovereignty of God and the free will of man are like the two rails of the railroad. When you stand in the middle of the rails and the railroad, and if it's straight going toward the horizon, you'll notice that they come closer and closer, and eventually, in the infinite mind of God, in eternity itself, they meet together.
