Summary

Our friend and colleague, Chris Date, recently produced a video calling Drs. Tim Stratton and Leighton Flowers to task on using the LBC of 1689 and Westminster Confessions of Faith to establish Libertarian Free Will (as in opposition to Compatibilistic Free Will.)

Please watch Date's original broadcast in its entirety here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9YnQNEMUU8&t=126s

The portion of the statement in question (as represented here by the LBC of 1689, chapter 9, paragraphs 1&2) state:

"God has endued the will of man with that natural liberty and power of acting upon choice, that it is neither forced nor by any necessity of nature determined to do good or evil.

Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which was good and well-pleasing to God,2 but yet was unstable, so that he might fall from it."

Hello and welcome back to Sochiology 101.

0:14.4

Today we're going to be replying to a friend and colleague Chris Date.

0:18.8

He recently put out a broadcast on his particular broadcast.

0:23.3

Matter of fact, I can just show that to you.

0:25.4

It was called Theoapologetics, I believe it is.

0:28.3

Number 38, freedom and power to will and to do.

0:47.5

I won't spend a lot of time on that just to say, we love Chris.

0:50.4

We've talked about how much we love Chris because he's a humble, deep thinker that engages with us, though he disagrees with us.

0:57.0

He serves with me there at Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, and I consider him a friend and a colleague, and he challenges me to go deeper.

1:06.0

He makes me think about stuff that I would not normally have to stop and think about,

1:11.5

um,

1:16.8

as does Dr. Stratton and doctors Hunter and Pritchett and others there at Trinity.

1:17.6

Um, and I love working with these,

these band of brothers, uh,

for a greater cause.
