0:00.0 | Welcome to Sociology 101. |
0:08.0 | As you can see, I'm at my home today and wanted to reply to a video I saw yesterday that posted |
0:15.0 | with regard to the new video that came out by William Lane Craig's group, Stand to Reason, and |
0:24.1 | reasonable faith, excuse me, I don't want to confuse those two different groups. |
0:28.1 | Reasonable Faith with William and Craig produced a video that I posted on my page and have |
0:33.3 | promoted just because I think it gives a good clear response as an apologist to those who may be |
0:38.4 | questioning. How is it that God's just? How is it fair for the people in the world who never |
0:44.1 | hear about Jesus? That's a question we often hear when we're at our apologetics conferences. It |
0:48.8 | often comes up. And there are different approaches apologetically as to how you'd answer that |
0:53.8 | question, as you can imagine. |
0:55.1 | A Calvinist like Dr. White would answer that question very differently than the way William and Craig or myself would answer that question. |
1:02.4 | And even among non-Calvinists, there may be a variant approach to this answer, |
1:07.9 | depending on what your take is on the relative views, just like within |
1:12.9 | Calvinism. There are probably different people who answer this question in a very different way. |
1:17.0 | I think Tim Keller's answer sounds a lot more like our answer than James White's answer, and he |
1:22.1 | affirms us being a Calvinist or more reformed in his theology. So it really depends on the individual. And I have to |
1:29.3 | point that out quite regularly on our program because some people forget that Calvinism or non-Calvinism, |
1:36.2 | Armenianism, provisionism, none of us are really monolithic groups in the sense that we all |
1:40.7 | agree with each other on every single point in doctrine. And so when I'm trying |
1:44.9 | to represent Calvinists, I can't represent the whole swath of the different kinds of Calvinists that |
1:50.4 | there are. I can only play one particular Calvinist for themselves and respond to what that Calvinist |
1:56.4 | is saying. And that Calvinist may not be representing your form of Calvinism. And that doesn't mean I'm trying to misrepresent Calvinist or you. |
