Episode 470: Start of the show with a review of part of Dr. Rex Turner, Sr.’s, Biblical Theology. His definition of Total Depravity is mere tautology. Thus, we look at Berkhof’s Systematic Theology for a more robust appreciation of the doctrine. Finally, land with Dr. Michael Heiser’s comments on Romans 5.12, which is part of the debate, but is not the whole debate.

Total Depravity Debate Review
Episode 436: I have been waiting for a church of Christ representative to take up the challenge of responding to a Reformed representative on the doctrines of grace. So I was excited when I saw that Aaron Gallagher from the Gospel Broadcasting Network and Trey Fisher from the Parish Reformed were having public discussions/debates first on baptism (4 discussions/debates) and now on Total Depravity. Unfortunately, for Fisher, Gallaher rag-dolled him for reasons I explain in the lead-up of today’s program. But then I put myself in Fisher’s shoes and offer my own opening statement followed by a couple of answers to a couple questions Gallaher posed to Fisher. Why is it that the church of Christ preacher, yours truly, is able to offer a better opening statement & more cogent answers to the questions posed than the Reformed guy? Tune in as I offer my review of the debate.
