The final portion of our discussion on the Trinity. Please find the other three segments.
A continuation of the teaching/conversation on the Doctrine of the Triune God. Be sure to hear the first two portions of this important conversation.
This is the second portion of the conversation on the teaching (doctrine) of God as One in Three. Be sure to listen to part 1 if you have not.
These four broadcasts are a long conversation on the subject of God as Triune. The teaching (doctrine) of God as One in Three has long been misunderstood, ignored, and erroneously taught. Eddie and James will dive into the doctrine head-on and make clear that the Scriptures reveal God in this light and that any attempt […]
Sovereignty is one of the doctrines that most people affirm but really don't understand. So, when they hear what Scripture says relating to its object, they have difficulty with the overarching theme of what it truly means to be sovereign over all things, especially the will of humanity. James & Eddie discuss sovereignty in two […]

James & Eddie continue to look at the Scriptural doctrine of election and show that God's promise of salvation centers on the fact that He has prepared a people for Himself, alone.
Election is at the heart of the good news of Jesus Christ. Many professing believers, however, are ignorant of the doctrine and in some cases, deny it. James and Eddie discuss over in two episodes the nature and aspect of election and that it is and of itself, is the central message of the cross.
James & Eddie discuss quickly this text concerning the supremacy of Jesus Christ, who IS GOD.
Last year James & Edward discussed at length the divine nature of Jesus Christ from a contextual point of view. Many thoughts and questions arose from those shows and this is part 2 of two episodes to help the listeners to answer common objections. 1. Where in the bible does Jesus say “I am God”?2. […]
Last year James & Edward discussed at length the divine nature of Jesus Christ from a contextual point of view. Many thoughts and questions arose from those shows and these next two episodes help the listeners to answer common objections. 1. Doesn’t “One” God mean one person?2. Doesn’t the Bible reveal Jesus as human over […]
Many editions of requirements in evangelism exist without any real acknowledgment of what Scripture teaches concerning the person and work of Jesus Christ. We’ve established over the last few months that the bible is clear that Jesus is God. Now, we conclude this series explaining why Jesus as God is a necessary element of a […]
Scripture shows that GOD ALONE is worthy of worship. Exodus 20:5 even states that God will bring wrath on anyone who worships any other “god”. So, Scripture reveals that Jesus is worshipped and thus, as we’ll see, Jesus is God.
God created all things and nothing that has been created exists apart from Him. So, when Scripture teaches that Jesus created all things and is above ALL creation, then He cannot be a created being, He must be God.
Jesus is God. Plain and simple. This is part five in an eight-part series on the divine nature of Jesus Christ and today we are going to discuss the witness of God the Father concerning His Son’s deity.
Jesus NEVER says, “I am God” because that would not be a claim to deity. However, He clearly claims to be God in stronger and more solid ways. This episode quickly looks at these claims. Next week we will look at the witness of God the Father in Scripture concerning the deity of Jesus, God […]
Continuing with Part 3 of our 8 part series on the Divine Nature of Jesus we continue to look at various texts that clearly show Jesus as God in the New Testament. Next week we will show where Jesus claimed to be God personally.
Continuing in our eight part series on the divinity of Jesus Christ, today we are going to look at some more claims of Christ as God in the writings of the Apostles.
Jesus is God. This is clearly taught in Scripture and over these next few episodes, Edward and James will look at the witness of scripture, the apostles, the Son & the Father. This episode looks specifically at the passages that show Jesus’ divinity in the Gospel of John.
While many people claim to be Christian and to understand the truth of the gospel of grace, few people can articulate the basics of the gospel. In this episode, Edward and James articulate the essentials of the gospel as revealed in Scripture.
Questions from listeners on this broadcast: Is there a difference between the word “Rhema” and “Logos” in meaning and interpretation? Does this difference teach us that there is a “written word” and an “inner voice” of God? Does Regeneration precede faith? If so, how do you know this according to scripture? Edward and James blog […]
Many have always argued, “No man can be confident in his salvation.” But what does the Bible teach? Is there such teaching as “once saved, always saved?” What about perseverance? Edward and James discuss this important doctrine and how the believer should understand that security is all of God, not of man.
We live in a day and age where many cults exist. Sadly, many people don't realize they are in a cult that has used the Scriptures for their own purposes and gain. Some use it for financial gain while others use it for the gain of self glory. Scripture reveals that in the redemption of […]
What is total depravity and does it render humanity totally unable? Total Depravity comes with all sorts of inferences by many in the world of “Christendom”. Sadly, few have ever considered the contextual arguments for the implication of Total Inability. James & Edward discuss why understanding that humanity is not just depraved but unable to refuse […]
There seems to be a continual misrepresentation of Scripture when people utilize single phrases out of context to build a theological truth. Sadly, many who refuse the gospel of grace hold fast to “big gun” verses that seem to prove a humanistic theology but when one looks at the actual teaching, the scoffers are left […]
Last episode Edward and James focused on the teaching of Definite Atonement as found in Scripture. Continuing in that line of instruction, this podcast looks at the primary verses used by those who oppose sovereign grace and how they are to be understood. Go to TheologyAnswers.com and post your questions for future episodes. Hosts: Edward Dalcour […]
Particular Redemption, Definite Atonement, Limited Atonement, Certain Salvation and many other terms have been utilized throughout history to describe the teaching of Scripture on the work and efficacy of Jesus Christ on the cross. Today we answer a three part question 1- Briefly, what is definite atonement? 2- Is the atonement real/true/actual or is it hypothetical/metaphorical? […]
Election is taught in the bible, therefore it is a Biblical doctrine. Many would argue that Scripture doesn’t teach election and the few who don’t ignore the teaching have discovered creative ideas through which they can answer it while subverting the teaching of Scripture. Is the Doctrine of Election based on God’s foreknowledge or God’s […]
For the most part of the 20th century, altar calls and other prominent “offers” of salvation have been utilized to draw millions to a so-called gospel only to see that a majority of those millions still have no assurance of eternal life. This podcast discusses this issue and what the church should understand in history and […]
For the most part, apologetics has become something different for many people and it is often confused with “coercion” or “convincing” someone to believe when Scripture teaches something very different. So, what is apologetics and why is it important to the church today? James Tippins & Edward Dalcour discuss this important truth.
TheologyAnswers podcast this week deals with the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. We must understand that the test for all doctrine and theology is the Scripture but MANY consider it a good book but not authoritative. Go to TheologyAnswers.com to ask your questions for the podcast. Edward Dalcour is president of Christian Defense Ministries, he blogs here, and […]
The Protestant Reformation just celebrated 500 years last October. James & Edward, in a trial run for this podcast, discussed the trends related to the reformation and the idea that many churches that celebrated the 500th anniversary are at odds with the doctrines of the reformation. We want to know your thoughts.
The King James Bible is one of the most important published works in the history of the world. For centuries it was the only access to the Scriptures for English speaking peoples. Just as contextual criticism and manifold sources were used in its production and translation, the same type of processes and ‘sciences’ are used […]
What type of knowledge is required in order for someone to have eternal life? Sufficient vs. exhaustive, what is the difference? Believing in Jesus Christ is not about what one “knows” but rather trusting in the truth of Christ as revealed in Scripture. Let us never forget that salvation comes through the regenerative work of God […]
