September 18, 2019 Show with Anthony Uvenio on “The Call to Every Christian to be an Apologist & Theologian”

Iron Sharpens Iron Radio Introduction and Scripture for the Program Theme

Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It's iron sharpens iron. This is a radio platform in which pastors Christian scholars and theologians Address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Proverbs chapter 27 verse 17 tells us. Iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage We are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have a view in conversation To make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours. And we hope to hear from you the listener with your own questions, and now here's your host Chris Arnzen.

Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Lake City, Florida. And the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth. We're listening via live streaming at iron sharpens iron radio .com. This is Chris Arnzen your host of iron sharpens iron radio.

Wishing you all a happy Wednesday on this 18th day of September 2019 and I'm so thrilled to have back on the program a returning guest Who's also a dear friend and a very faithful and loyal and generous?

Supporter financially of iron sharpens iron radio. His name is Anthony Eugenio and his co-founder of New York apologetics and also co-founder and co-host of the reformed rookie. Today we are going to be addressing the theme the call to every Christian to be an apologist and theologian.

And we're also going to be talking about an upcoming Long Island conference the Long Island Spurgeon Fellowship Conference. Which will be held at Hope Reform Baptist Church in Coram, Long Island, New York.

But it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron sharpens iron radio.

Anthony Eugenio.

Thanks for having me again. Chris, I really appreciate it. I'm quite surprised you had me again after my first flop the first time I was on.

You did fine and you vote you always do fine and you also some people might recognize Anthony's name from not only participating in his own debates, but also His moderation of debates including a debate that he moderated masterfully if I might add between two friends of mine who have very very Seriously opposing views theologically.

One is dr. Tony Costa Who is a professor of apologetics and Islam at Toronto Baptist Seminary and he debated another friend of mine Who's a Roman Catholic who I do not call my brother in Christ, but I do call him my friend because he is my friend Robertson Janice who is the founder of Catholic apologetics International and they debated on The Immaculate Conception of Mary if I if my memory serves me, right, isn't that what they debated?

Yes, you got it, right. You got it, right. That was right here in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Look forward to having more debates here as many as the Lord will allow. But for our listeners who are unfamiliar with you Anthony, why don't you let them know about New York apologetics.

Sure. I'm a co-founder with Nick Mitchell on New York apologetics and we go into high schools and colleges and churches on Long Island. Helping people learn the arguments for the existence of God obviously biblical arguments.

And to strengthen and edify their faith because a lot of people, you know, they get caught off guard by these so-called Hot institutions of higher learning where professors Seek to dismantle people's faith and get them to just basically renounce what they've held dear for so long.

So we go in and we try to teach them the things That they need to know we show them that science and faith are perfectly compatible. In fact, you can't do science without faith talking to them and speaking into them.

They really have a change of mind. In fact, maybe we can get into it a little bit later. I just Got a phone call from one of the kids that we was speaking to at Stony Brook University at the Free Thinkers Society.

And he had come to faith about three years after we had spoken to him and he reached out to me and he said Anthony I just want to let you know We now have our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in common. And I was just blown away by that because you know apologetics played a part in that not a major major part.

But it was one of the things that God used to move him in the right direction to get to see What who God really is?

Amen. Oh, you just reminded me that you gave me the the privilege of being the moderator at a debate on atheism. Between Frank Turek right and what and the opponent's name is slips my mind right now. Who is Michael Shermer?

He's the president of skeptic magazine, right and.

Thanks for dumping that responsibility on me to be the moderator at that debate because there were absolutely no rules. That were that were obeyed during that debate.

Well that actually I don't really consider that one of the bait. That was more like a WWF wrestling.

As much as I tried to get things in order and have people obey rules I Couldn't especially since Frank said oh, that's okay. We I like the free style. I'm like, oh, come on. Give me a break. Thanks. Thanks for backing me up Frank.

But anyway, it was still a fun time and Had some fun also seeing some friends that I had not seen in a long time who came to that event.

Yeah, that's a big out of a lot of attention actually because what happened with the LGBT community they wrote a scathing letter to the to the officers of Stony Brook University saying how could they possibly let such a Horrific person like Frank Turek on the campus to speak such hate speech.

And it actually got national attention and Richard Dawkins, you know renowned atheist Commented on it and Michael Shermer ended up contacting Frank Turek and they together wrote a letter to Stony Brook University saying this should not happen.

I mean free speech should be allowed no matter where you are. Especially at a university where it's a diversity of ideas and you know made the best idea win. So it actually brought an atheist and a Christian together and Dawkins commented on it.

Yeah, and I believe Michael.

Correct me if I'm wrong. He is not he doesn't describe himself as a liberal. He's actually a libertarian, isn't he? I'm not quite sure Chris. I think I think he is politically libertarian and Political issues.

I believe he even tends to on occasion lean right? I'm not talking about necessarily social and moral.

Issues, but.

I'll correct myself if I have to doing some research. Proved to be wrong and just as I am very often. But I'm almost certain he is a libertarian and not necessarily a a left-wing liberal kind of the left libertarian as some libertarians are especially especially when it comes to morals, but.

The.

The topic that we are addressing today I think we should clarify what we mean by the words in the topic. The call to every Christian to be an apologist and theologian. Now, I just want to make it clear that I am NOT saying and My guest Anthony Vino is not saying that every Christian has a responsibility to be trained in the original languages of the Bible needs to be formally trained in Areas of higher Learning and the holes of academia and so on.

That doesn't mean that every Christian needs to earn degrees. Doesn't mean that they have to go to seminary or or anything else like that. It just means that we have a responsibility From God to be able to defend our faith and accurately according to the scriptures proclaim our faith and.

We.

Need to be theologians because everyone is a theologian. You're just a good theologian or a bad one. Everyone needs to have some understanding of theology and doctrine and. That's what we mean by theologian.

Have I adequately?

Described our topic the same holds true for an apologist. You're if you're a Christian you are an apologist. It's just you either you're a good one or a bad one. And you know, my favorite verse is Acts 4 13 and before seminary Acts 13 said now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were Uneducated common men they were astonished and they recognized that these men had been with Jesus.

Really. Chris my only My only qualification is that I've been with Jesus. And he's revealed things to me in the scriptures and I'm just able to pass those on to other people now. It doesn't. I certainly don't want to dissuade anybody from seminary.

Please if you have the availability and the means to get there go. Study as much as you can get as much education as you can but if you can't you can still study the scriptures on your own under correct guidance in a solid church and Take that knowledge start a Bible study.

Speak to people, you know. About God. If we love people and we love God We're going to tell them about the most important thing in our life and that would be our faith.

Amen.

The Long Island Spurgeon Fellowship Conference on the Doctrines of Grace

Well, I think that because of the fact that you have a conference coming up a conference that you're actually participating in yourself. Yeah, I think it would be a good idea also to tell our listeners about this right away and hopefully hopefully we'll remember to repeat The information later as well, but the Long Island Spurgeon Fellowship is having a conference at Hope Reform Baptist Church in Coram, Long Island, New York and That is coming up November 1st and 2nd Friday and Saturday November 1st and 2nd, which will be here before you know it and God willing.

I will be there as an audience member, hopefully. And I am planning to be there. We just have to see how the Lord blesses us financially to enable me to get out there.

And.

I'm always excited to visit Hope Reform Baptist Church both at their old Location in Farmingville and Medford or I should have said locations plural. But also their beautiful new facility In Coram, Long Island, New York, which is like a country church out of a movie the way it looks.

Surrounded by forest and all that. I really love that area in that building. But tell us about the Long Island Spurgeon Fellowship that's coming up or the should I say the conference of the Long Island Spurgeon Fellowship.

Yeah, well the group of like-minded pastors who hold to the doctrines of grace and who were looking to promote that In our local communities. So since we've got this new beautiful building We decided that we'd host the conference and have it at our church.

Two days. It's going to be on the doctrines of grace. Which if people aren't familiar with those that that would be total depravity. Unconditional election, limited atonement, perseverance of the saint and Yeah, that's it.

And we're gonna do a roundtable question and answer. So after all of the sessions if you have questions about Calvinism. We're going to be able to answer those questions and it's going to be done by a group of local pastors Mark Romaldi, Michael McCormick, and then a couple of lay people like myself and Eli Isla.

Also another pastor Bruce Bennett. He's going to be speaking at the conference. So we're hoping to Show people that Calvinism is biblical. It is not Sometimes this Monster that people make it out to be.

We do believe God is loving. We believe God is a father and we believe that the doctrines of grace best Reflect the biblical witness of who God is and how he saves people. In fact, I think the doctrines of grace Give God the most glory and the most honor out of any other doctrinal system.

If you want information on it, you can go to the my website, which is www .reformedrookie .com. Of course the top is a little button called conference. You click on that. That'll give you all the information that you need.

It'll give you a place where you can sign up for tickets. Admission is free. There's no charge for this whatsoever. It'll give you an outline of the conference and then underneath is a bunch of free resources that you can download.

That'll help you understand what Calvinism is what the doctrines of grace are and Help you to pass this information on to others. So I have a doctrines of grace categorized scriptural download data. Get Calvinism summarized.

I have the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Which is the confession that we hold to at Hope Reformed Baptist Church I also got something called the Calvinist survival guide So if you're if you're a Calvinist and you want to learn how to answer some questions.

Maybe that people are opposing some of the things that you hold you. That would be a good thing to download so that'll really give you all the information you need.

Great, and we will be exploring that a little later on in more detail. Okay, and Also, I just have to ask you a question. Why on earth did you invite a loser like Mark Romaldi there?

I.

Hope I hope he's listening Mark Romaldi for. Just to educate our listeners a little bit. He he was my pastor before moving to to Pennsylvania and had the great misfortune of having to shepherd me and having.

But I was just joking. He is a remarkably gifted pastor and.

Really. A.

Very very gifted preacher. I mean, I'm usually or should I say I'm always riveted it to him while he is preaching and teaching and has the gift not.

Only to.

Accurately present content that is faithful to the Bible, but he does so in a very passionate way is a Very gifted orator as well as being very knowledgeable in the scripture.

I love Pastor Mark. I echo everything that you said. I just like to add one thing. He's got a terrific sense of humor. He fits right in with all of us. Oh, yeah, I mean.

Nobody might ever know that unless they see some videos that he's posted on Facebook.

Speaking at this conference because like you said people are going to listen to him. He speaks with authority. He speaks based on what the scriptures actually say. He exegetes them. I think people are really going to be blessed by this conference.

I can't wait for it to take place and I remember Mark before he was even a believer because His parents were members of the church where I was a member that he that Mark eventually came to pastor himself.

But first. Calvary Baptist Church of not many villain and grace reform Baptist Church of Long Island America. Mark was not a believer when I was attending initially. For quite a number of years he was a rebellious young man, and I can remember him Storming into the house when we were having Bible studies at his parents house and here Mark would be.

Coming in through the door with purple hair and you know starting arguments. Parents. I never would have thought in a million years that guy was gonna be my pastor. It's just amazing how things work out and God's providence and he has quite a testimony.

He almost died In a hospital after a drug overdose and his testimony is very very remarkable and that just happened about a week ago I'm just kidding. He was a Christian and before he entered into the ministry, so.

Yeah, I was. I was when we put the conference detail together. I was so elated that I got chosen to do the talk on total depravity. And you know as I was boasting about how I can't wait to do it one of the guys put their arms around puts his Arm around my shoulder says Anthony.

We picked you to do to do total depravity because you're the best example of total depravity we have. My joy quickly turns my pride quickly turns to sorrow and I said, okay I'm gonna do it. Do the best I can with this one.

Drew Brees, Christian Witness, and the Problem of Ambiguous Apologies

Yeah, it reminds me of when I was.

The MC of one of the many debates that I orchestrated between dr. James R. White and Roman Catholic apologists and On Long Island. And I remember during my opening Stand-up comedy routine that I usually did to put people at more at ease because it was a very hostile environment very tension-filled environment with hardcore Calvinists and hardcore Roman Catholics in the room.

I remember I said during my opening statements that my wife thought that I was the perfect combination of theology from both the Reformation and From Roman Catholicism and I said to her what on earth are you talking about?

And she said you're both totally depraved and invincibly ignorant. I Missed my wife dearly now in heaven, even though she had some Very clever insults to her. She was she was a precious precious bride and I miss her dearly but I'm gonna give our listeners our email address if they would like to join us on the air with any questions.

Chris Arnson at gmail .com. Chris Arnson at gmail .com. And I hope my audience is going to be patient with me. I'm gonna try to play a clip of something that it was not intending to. Didn't even occur to me to play it until we were on the air already.

And This is going to be the This is going to be the what do you call it the apology that Drew Brees gave. Oh And I want you to Go over it with me. Jim, by the way, James White on the dividing line recently did a phenomenal job of Examining and dissecting this.

This.

Apology that Drew Brees gave.

And.

Drew Brees one of the great quarterbacks in the NFL. And it's always you know is when Christians hear about people.

Of his.

Of his fame. Professing Christ we always get excited if whether they are athletes whether they are actors. These people who are in the limelight, but unfortunately We very often are let down in a big way because very often these very famous people in the limelight because they have a lot more pressure Than your average Christian.

A lot more pressure than I do. Probably a lot more pressure than you do. To remain or should I say to toe the line to toe the line of political correctness? Because these people are gambling with million-dollar multi multi multi million-dollar careers very often when they stand a good chance of Losing a lot more than I or you would lose.

But You know, I don't want to go overboard in my harshness about Drew Brees. Or against the Drew Brees because of what I just said and then somebody brought up a fact to me. Or I shouldn't say a fact a theory to me That I didn't even consider.

He said you don't even know how he and his family's lives may have been for threatened behind the scenes. And that is true. I don't know that could have happened but at the same time and this may sound Very haughty of me to say because nobody's threatening my life.

But at the same time all Christians who are truly children of God recognizes that our first and foremost responsibility is to fear God and not men and.

Not to.

Shrink from our responsibility to declare the gospel and Jesus Christ as the one and only way for men to be made right with God the one and only way where sinners can enter into heaven. And. Therefore we are not to be not only more afraid of men than God.

We're not to be more concerned with the feelings of sinners. Then we are concerned over their Eternal destiny. We can't be more concerned of how we may hurt their feelings or upset them on this earth and be unconcerned about them entering into hell because they haven't repented.

And I'm sure you agree with everything. I'm saying knowing you. And well, here is the. Here is the clip of drew breezes. Apologies. Hello, everyone.

There's been a lot of negativity spread about me in the LGBTQ community recently based upon a Article that someone wrote with a very negative headline that I think led people to believe that somehow I was aligned with an organization that was anti LGBTQ and and so on and so forth.

I'd like to set the record straight. I live by two very simple Christian fundamentals and that is Love the Lord with all your heart mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. I think the first one is very self-explanatory.

The second one love your neighbors yourself, what does that mean to me that means love all. Respect all and accept all so that is actually how I live my life. That is what I try to do with my family with my teammates.

With people in my community with my friends all people no matter your race your color your religious preference your sexual orientation. Your political beliefs it doesn't matter. So the fact that these rumors have been spread about me are completely untrue.

What I did was I filmed a video recently. That was encouraging kids to bring their Bibles to school for national bring your Bible to school day. To bring your Bibles to school to be able to live out your faith with confidence.

And I even gave one of my favorite Bible verses it was as simple as that. So I'm not sure why the negativity spread or why people tried to rope me into certain negativity. I do not support any groups that discriminate or that have their own Agendas that are trying to promote inequality.

Okay, so hopefully that has set the record straight and we can all move on because that's not what I stand for. Have a great day.

Well Anthony.

It's simple not like its name implies.

Never intended the commercial to continue airing. I didn't click hard enough there.

Anthony.

This is my first impression of what Drew Brees just did. I think that as many Christians in the 21st century and it's been longer than that, but especially in the 21st century. They speak in such a way that is ambiguous enough.

That.

Both those on the right and the left those that may be strong and strict adherence to biblical inerrancy and biblical orthodoxy. Biblical morality and so on. That they on the one hand might have to a degree.

Their.

Outrage quelled or Subsided not completely because of the ambiguity. There might be some scratching of heads as to what he meant. And then then on the other hand the same would be with those on the far left of the situation those that embrace homosexuality either as advocates or as participants in rebellion against God.

And what I mean by what I'm saying is There are certain words That are used in such defenses as we just heard from Drew Brees.

That.

That demand further explanation like for instance He said that the the two Commandments that that basically are the hallmark of his Christian faith are to love God with all his heart soul mind and strength and to love his neighbor as himself and.

Therefore people might think especially in this case on the left. Well, if he loves Homosexuality he must agree that this is an acceptable Way to live an acceptable sexual choice to participate in. Although he didn't say that.

And then on the other hand you'll have the conservatives.

Perhaps.

Especially those who are more naive or more gullible Being appeased by that Because they will think in their heads. Well, he knows that if you really love a homosexual You're going to tell him that his only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ and then and to embrace his gospel.

And if he if you honor if you're unrepentant as As a homosexual the loving thing that Christians have to do Is to command you and urge you and plead with you to repent. But he didn't say that either. And another key word here is accept.

He was basically saying I accept everybody no matter what they believe and What they do in a sexual manner or any other Realm of life he accepts them. Now. What does that mean? You know, you have to be more explicitly detailed as a Christian.

Because on the one hand, I'm sure if you and I are in worship one day and Couple or a homosexual couple Comes through the door we happen to be standing in the narthex or something and they say we're a homosexual couple can we Come into this building and worship with you.

Of course, we wouldn't in our minds Believe that they would be worshiping the same true God as we worship, but we would we would not say no get out of here. You're not permitted in right. We would accept them into the building.

In fact, we would probably even be very enthusiastic in in hope that they would hear the gospel.

Repent and.

Believe in the gospel and be transformed, you know, we would be hoping for that. So we would be accepting of them, you know. We'd be accepting of Muslims who would want to come in and hear the Word of God preached.

James White is going into mosques all over the world and preached during debates. So we would hope that they would do that they would hear the gospel and believe it and repent. So on that sense we accept them.

But. Acceptance. On the left side if they're hearing Drew Brees, they may be thinking. Oh he he accepts us as.

Completely.

Equal with him in his stand before Jesus Christ. That he believes Jesus Christ holds no judgment. Toward us that Jesus Christ's wrath is not hovering over us. He believes that we will be in heaven with him.

And of course That would be a falsehood when it comes to Christianity now I want you after we we have to go to our first break right now. But I want you to Respond to what I just said. And to what you heard you Brees said and as an apologist and as somebody with New York apologetics, I think that This would be helpful for folks.

And also I want to remind our listeners James White did a masterful job Dissecting what drew Brees said on a recent dividing line. I Perhaps will find the date of that dividing line episode During the break and let you know about which date it is, but he usually writes descriptions of his episodes.

He may have included his dissection of Drew Brees's so-called apology. So that would be at a o m i n org a o m i n org and you scroll down To where the dividing line episodes are listed, but we're gonna go to our first break and we'll have Anthony Eugenio Respond to what we just heard both drew Brees's Apology and also my commentary on it.

And if you would like to join us on the air with a question of your own. Our email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com. Chris Arnzen at gmail .com. And as always, please give us your first name at least your city and state of residence in your country of residence.

If you live outside the USA only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter, don't go away. We'll be right back after these messages from our sponsors.

James White of Alpha Omega Ministries and the dividing line webcast here.

Host of iron sharpens iron radio. I frequently get requests from listeners for church recommendations. The church I've been strongly recommending as far back as the 1980s is Grace Covenant Baptist Church in Flemington, New Jersey.

Pastored by Alan Dunn Grace Covenant Baptist Church believes it's God's prerogative to determine how he shall be worshiped and how he shall be represented in the world. They believe churches need to turn to the Bible to discover what to include in worship and how to worship God in spirit and truth.

Grace Covenant Baptist Church endeavors to maintain a God-centered focus. Reading preaching and hearing the Word of God singing psalms hymns and spiritual songs. Baptism and communion are the scriptural elements of their corporate worship performed with faith joy and sobriety.
