0:00.0	Welcome back to Sochiology 101.
0:11.0	Today we're going to be talking about a debate I recently moderated at Truitt Seminary there at Baylor University in Waco with my good friend, Dr. Braxton Hunter, who is the president of Trinity Seminary. A great seminary, by the way, if you're looking for a school, a place of higher education,
0:24.6	consider trinity sim.edu for more information, or you can go to Sochiology 101 and click on the classroom link
0:31.6	and find out more information about Trinity Seminary. And we're going to be talking about a debate he had with Matt DeLahante.
0:36.6	Now, the reason I wanted to talk about this is on sociology is because I really do think that
0:43.3	soterology ties directly into how we do apologetics. We had Eric Hernandez on talking about
0:50.8	our apologetic methodology, whether you're presuppositionalist versus a classical
0:56.4	approach apologist or an evidentialist oftentimes depends upon how you look at God in his
1:02.7	existence and how you look at the way in which he treats people and the way salvation works.
1:09.0	If you're a determinist, for example, a theistic determinist,
1:11.9	meaning that God brings everything to pass according to a divine decree, then you're going to
1:16.0	approach apologetics a little differently than you might approach it if you believe in
1:21.2	libertarian free will, for example. And the reason I asked Dr. Hunter and Dr. Pritchett from Trinity to join me today is to talk through these issues and to talk through, I think the first time I've ever heard a free will argument, a libertarian free will argument, for a case for the existence of God.
1:41.7	And so welcome, if you will, Dr. Pritchett and Dr. Hunter from Trinity Seminary.
1:47.8	Guys, thank y'all for joining me today.
1:49.6	Glad to be here, man.
1:50.6	Yeah, thanks for having us on the show again,ahonte, who is a known atheist, a pretty
2:02.7	wide following there in Austin area, and he does a broadcast. No, he's not on that side of you.
2:09.0	He's on, he's beside Pritchett. I put Pritchett between you. He's on the other side of you.
2:14.3	But there you go, Pritchie. You're looking right at him there. There you go. And he did a response to the debate. Well, he really didn't respond to the debate. He responded to me,
2:24.5	which was kind of interesting. And I hate that fact because I think that you, well, he did,
2:31.8	he started off responding to your free will argument, and that's
	...
