Hello and welcome back to SoTriology 101.

0:10.0

Today we're going to be answering the question, what is provisionism?

0:14.0

I know, I know there are all kinds of labels and all the different isms and a lot of people don't like the labels and why can't we just be biblicalists why can't we all just be Christians why do we have to have labels I don't like them

0:25.9

either I'll just be honest with you I don't like all the labels I wish we didn't have any of the

0:29.8

isms but the truth of the matter is because we have free will because we have the ability to deliberate

0:35.2

and make our own decisions individually and autonomously,

0:38.3

we have differences of opinion with regard to different doctrines within the Christian church.

0:43.8

Jew might have been saying in his context versus how we would take it in our westernized context today.

1:28.8

And so we make mistakes. That's the reason I think we have the different isms, the different

1:33.5

denominations, the different labels. I don't like them any more than you do, okay, but that doesn't

1:38.4

change the fact that they exist. And all of them are man-made labels, whether you're talking about

1:43.1

Augustinianism or Pelagianism or Manichianism or Calvinism or Minianism.

1:51.4

You've got Armaraldianism.

1:53.4

You've got the different controversies of Lapsarian, superlapsarian, infallapsarian these, these are all man-made labels. And sometimes I get
