We welcome David Noe and Chad Van Dixhoorn to discuss the first volume in Reformation Heritage Books' new edition of The Works of Samuel Rutherford: Arminianism: A Systematic and Theological Response. Noe translated the work from Latin, while Van Dixhoorn serves as general editor of the series and edited and introduced this volume.The conversation explores Rutherford's significance as a leading theologian of seventeenth-century Scotland and a commissioner to the Westminster Assembly. Rather than treating Arminianism as merely five disputed points of salvation, Rutherford examines it as a theological system reaching into the doctrine of God, divine simplicity, providence, human freedom, ecclesiology, and the sacraments. The guests also discuss the challenges of translating scholastic Latin, recovering manuscripts, correcting citations, and preparing a projected twenty-volume edition.Learn more at reformedforum.org/ctc969.Chapters0:00 Introduction2:08 David Noe joins the conversation5:45 Translation projects and Calvin's Latin Bible12:41 Reformed worship and the declaration of pardon15:29 The Works of Samuel Rutherford, Volume 117:47 A twenty-volume publishing project22:22 Samuel Rutherford and the Westminster Assembly23:54 Why Rutherford addressed Arminianism27:54 Why the book is more than an “examination”30:23 Arminianism as a theological system31:58 Divine simplicity and the doctrine of God33:56 Middle knowledge, freedom, and providence36:03 Rutherford's pastoral and rhetorical power41:57 Ecclesiology, sacraments, and scholastic method45:02 The craft and challenges of translation49:16 Difficult texts and inaccurate citations54:38 A second manuscript enters the project56:04 Translating Homer and the meaning of polytropos60:16 How to read Rutherford fruitfully62:55 Chad Van Dixhoorn joins the conversation63:19 Rutherford's stature in Scottish theology66:10 Arminianism involves more than five points68:20 The origins and scope of the Rutherford series70:38 The search for unpublished letters and sermons73:35 Rutherford's final years and posthumous legacy76:59 Assessing Rutherford's polemical judgments82:02 Why the volume remains valuable today83:30 What is next for the series85:02 ConclusionMentioned in this episode:Join Us In Person: Four Upcoming Reformed Forum EventsBefore today's episode, Camden Bucey shares four opportunities to gather with Reformed Forum in person over the coming months: Apologetics and Evangelism Seminar — August 4–5, 2026, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Taylors, SC.

Season 2, Episode 127In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on conversational apologetics by exploring Gregory Koukl's signature "Columbo Tactic"—the art of asking thoughtful questions that invite conversation rather than confrontation. While many Christians assume effective apologetics depends primarily on having the right answers, this discussion argues that wise questions often accomplish far more. Looking to the example of Jesus, who frequently responded to questions with questions of His own, Michael and Zach examine how genuine curiosity can uncover assumptions, clarify definitions, expose faulty reasoning, and create opportunities for meaningful gospel conversations. Along the way, they introduce the first two Columbo questions—"What do you mean by that?" and "How did you come to that conclusion?"—while emphasizing the importance of listening well, slowing conversations down, and responding with humility rather than haste. The episode concludes with practical examples drawn from today's cultural conversations and challenges listeners to become faithful ambassadors of Christ by asking better questions before offering better answers.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/iKKZhoqnHUoMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Wow, book number 15! It only feels like yesterday we were on book 5. Well, after The Great Debate that put presuppositionalism on the map - what's to be done after that? Well, you actually have to talk to people. Scary, yes, but how does one actually do that? Well, this book might be of help.
The West might be becoming less ‘religious', but according to many it's becoming a lot more 'spiritual'.In fact, “spiritual but not religious” is described as a “rapidly growing faith group” in America, with as many as 20 per cent of people falling into the category.And yet, there's nothing new about being spiritual but not religious; it's been Christianity's dancing partner – or maybe sparring partner - for thousands of years.FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - CLICK HERE CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne, directed and edited by Mark Hadley.

2026-07-16 Real Growthby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture: Mark 8:22-3022 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” 24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don't even go into the village.” 27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” 28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” 29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.” 30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

Randy Kay was a biotech CEO and a self-described skeptic who didn't believe in near-death experiences until he flatlined for 30 minutes in 2005 and, in his telling, found himself face to face with Jesus. Now he's collected 140 NDE accounts he says he's vetted more rigorously than any single volume before. Today, I asked the obvious question: does the evidence actually stack up?

Is God truly omniscient, or does the Bible present a different picture? In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, David Lee Corbo (The Raven), TopLobsta, and Ed Mabrie (Faith By Reason) continue a thought-provoking discussion about God's foreknowledge, free will, prophecy, and what Scripture actually teaches.The conversation examines challenging biblical passages involving Job, Abraham, Satan (ha-satan), Isaiah 45:7, Revelation, and the nature of God's knowledge. Does free will require that future human choices remain genuinely open? How should Christians understand omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence? Are these biblical concepts, or later theological formulations?Ed Mabrie walks through numerous scriptural examples while explaining why he believes the Bible teaches that God possesses all knowledge that exists while allowing genuine human freedom. The discussion also explores prophecy, the role of the adversary in the Book of Job, the seven churches of Revelation, and why Christians should test every teaching against Scripture rather than blindly accepting tradition.Whether you agree or disagree, this episode is designed to encourage careful Bible study, thoughtful discussion, and deeper examination of difficult theological questions.If you enjoy conversations about:Biblical theologyChristian worldviewFree will vs predestinationRevelationOld Testament studiesBiblical prophecyNephilim researchChristian apologeticsyou're in the right place.► Subscribe for more Biblical analysis, Christian worldview discussions, and conspiracy research through a Biblical lens.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere podcasts are available.Ed Mabrie (Faith By Reason)Website: https://faithbyreason.netYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FaithByReasonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FaithByReason00:00 Intro00:54 Welcome & Patreon Updates02:20 Brohemian Grove Announcement03:05 Ed Mabrie Introduction04:10 Faith By Reason & New Book07:05 Continuing Last Week's Discussion08:30 Does God Know Every Future Choice?10:20 The Three "Omnis" Debate12:05 Free Will and God's Foreknowledge13:00 Job, Satan, and the Nature of Testing14:40 Isaiah 45:7 and God Creating Evil18:00 Biblical Examples Supporting the Discussion28:30 Revelation and the Seven Churches43:15 Questions, Objections & Scriptural Responses58:40 Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com.
