Summary

Dr. Leighton Flowers interacts with a recent video where a young mormon picks apart the Calvinistic determinism of James White and Jeff Durbin making their perspective seem completely irrational and untenable. Theistic determinism is an unnecessary burden that some Christians have adopted making it virtually impossible to rationally defend scriptural truths against the false teaching of groups like mormons.

Theology will drive your methodology and one's apologetic suffers when they adopt a deterministic theology, as witnessed in this video.

0:19.6	Today we're going to play a clip from Apology Radio with Jeff Durbin.
0:24.0	He happens to have Dr. James White on his program along with a Mormon young man,
0:29.0	and they are having a debate over Mormonism.
0:31.3	This is one of the things I love about James White's ministry along with Polygia Radio.
0:35.3	They take on the hardest topics topics and they're willing to engage
