Join Carlos, Tim, and special guest Andrew Rappaport as we formally apologize to brother Andrew for misrepresenting him on our previous episode, and ask him about apologetics and dialoguing with others; Carlos and Tim then discuss Andrew’s recent Clashing of Theologies episode on Sanctification and give historical, theological, and definitional criticisms of Pastor Paul Kaiser’s Synergistic view of Conversion and his claim that it’s the “true” Reformed view; and discuss New Covenant Theology, the moral law, and sanctification…and David Gay.

• http://play.google.com/store/movies/details?id=WdBwD2tFobA&pcampaignid=my_movies

ADDENDUM (6/12/2017): I, Carlos Montijo, am deeply sorry and apologize to Andrew Rappaport for misrepresenting what he said about Covenant Theology in his interview with Theology Gals Episode 8 (http://biblethumpingwingnut.com/2017/04/03/theology-gals-episode-8-dispensationalism-andrew-rappaport/). I misunderstood what he said at minute 12:40 by assuming he was referring to the claim that the threefold division of the law came from Aquinas, based on a previous discussion that wasn’t public. We are removing that portion from the episode. I deeply regret giving our listeners the impression that brother Andrew was sloppy or careless in his presentation of Covenant Theology. Quite the opposite is true, for anyone who knows him is aware that he is extremely diligent to be as fair and accurate as possible when presenting views that are not his own. We at Semper Reformanda Radio share the same convictions and strive to emulate his quintessential example. I am also very grateful to brother Andrew for the opportunity he provided me to discuss Covenant Theology and New Covenant Theology with Louis Lyons, and for being able to participate in his Clashing of Theologies series, because brother Andrew recognizes the importance of direct interaction with one another, especially opposing views, which in many cases is far more fruitful than one-sided monologues.

I also want to clarify my comments about Jason Mullett being “largely ignorant” of New Covenant Theology. It was not at all meant to be an insult or jab, nor was I at all implying or suggesting that I would have been the “better” representative against Dustin Segers, who is a knowledgeable and seasoned NCT proponent. It was simply based on what Jason himself said on Conversations From The Porch #50 @42:55, that he had not done a lot of reading on NCT and that the only thing he had read was the first three chapters of Charles Leiter’s The Law of Christ. Anyone who actually listened to our episode knows that I commended brother Jason for being an excellent debater, especially on topics that he knows well, such as his discussions with Leighton Flowers on Calvinism (http://biblethumpingwingnut.com/2017/04/24/lbm-episode-0068-dialogue-dr-leighton-flowers-libertarian-free-will/; even Flowers commended Jason for representing the Calvinist view well). I said I was disappointed because if Jason had done more reading, he would have been better prepared to interact with Dustin’s arguments, some of which were based on misunderstandings of the Reformed faith.

One example is in minute 53:00 of CFTP Episode 50, where Dustin claims that the Reformed view equates the moral law to the Ten Commandments (exclusively) and further claims that, historically this is how Reformed guys have always defined it. Unfortunately, many New Covenant Theology proponents make this error. Conversations From The Porch has continued to repeat this error, despite our attempts to correct it, including in this episode. All they need to do is read the Westminster Larger Catechism, Questions 93 and 98:

1. 93. What is the moral law?

2. The moral law is the declaration of the will of God to mankind, directing and binding everyone to personal, perfect, and perpetual conformity and obedience thereunto, in the frame and disposition of the whole man, soul and body, and in performance of all those duties of holiness and righteousness which he oweth to God and man: promising life upon the fulfilling, and threatening death upon the breach of it.

3. 98. Where is the moral law summarily comprehended?

4. The moral law is summarily comprehended in the ten commandments, which were delivered by the voice of God upon Mount Sinai, and written by him in two tables of stone; and are recorded in the twentieth chapter of Exodus. The four first commandments containing our duty to God, and the other six our duty to man. (http://www.reformed.org/documents/wlc_w_proofs/)

I nevertheless think Jason did a great job and hope he continues to study NCT and engage in discussions/debates with them (perhaps we can even join forces in the future 😉). Maybe it would have been better for me to say that Jason’s knowledge of NCT was limited as opposed to “largely ignorant of”. I have no problem admitting that I am largely ignorant of many things, and I’m sure Jason is far more knowledgeable than I am about many things. As fellow Reformed Baptists we are very much in agreement with Jason and even listed his episode on NCT on our playlist (http://biblethumpingwingnut.com/2017/03/22/semper-reformanda-radio-new-covenant-theology-playlist-resources/). I did not at all dismiss Jason for not being a Sabbatarian, as Pastor Paul Kaiser of Conversations From The Porch claimed in minute 53:00 of their recent episode (http://biblethumpingwingnut.com/2017/06/10/cftp-presents-ramblings-porch-public-service-correction/), nor did I ever say that Jason didn't know what he was talking about, or “immodestly imply” that I would have done better, as Ryan Dozier claimed in minute 51:30.

I hope that we can have more dialogue/discussions in the future and sharpen each other as brothers in Christ.

This week SRR welcomes Timothy F. Kauffman back to the show for the final installment in our series on the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary. In this episode, we read some email from one of our listeners and try to answer the question of whether or not Roman Catholics are Christian. Then we jump into the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary and consider whether or not she was assumed bodily into heaven. We also re-address whether or not the Roman Catholics are correct in identifying the woman of Revelation 12:1-6 as Mother Mary. Tim Kauffman does another fantastic job of leading us in our discussion of the Roman Catholic arguments and explains why their system is nothing more than a house of cards. As always we want to thank Tim Kauffman and recommend his blog whitehorseblog.com to our listeners.

This week SRR welcomes Timothy F. Kauffman back to the show for part 4 in our discussion on the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary. In this episode, we look at the perpetual virginity of Mary and ask if it was what the early church believed and more importantly if it is what the Bible teaches. We also address whether or not the Roman Catholics are correct in identifying the woman of Revelation 12:1-6 as Mother Mary. Tim Kauffman does another fantastic job of leading us in our discussion of the Roman Catholic arguments and explains why their system is nothing more than a house of cards.

This week SRR welcomes Timothy F. Kauffman back to the show for the second part of our discussion of the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary. Tim Shaughnessy begins by recounting his experience calling into the Bible Answer Man with Hank Hanegraaff and Tim Kauffman offers some helpful insight and perspective. Then the two dive into the Roman Catholic view of Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant. This may be an unfamiliar title of Mary for some Protestants, but it is very important to understand because from this Rome tries to establish Mary as the immaculate conception along with other erroneous doctrines. Tim Kauffman does a fantastic job of leading us in our discussion of the Roman Catholic arguments from scripture for their view and as always he shows us why they are wrong.

Join Tim, Carlos and Joseph Rios for a controversial episode, as they take a stand on this issue concerning the "Bible Answer Man." Listen in as Semper Reformanda Radio takes up the defense of Pulpit and Pen in how they called out Hank Hanegraaff and gives their perspective of heretics, apostates, and false teachers. Stay tuned until the end to find out why heretics win battles and hear how Paul the Apostle dealt with those who obscure the gospel. At 1 hour and 30 minutes into the episode, one of our member's states, I think we should be as charitable as the old testament says to be with people who lead people astray from God. At 1 hour and 33 minutes, another member mentions that they would stone false prophets to death and he goes on to explain how he believes that the punishment for those who bring a false gospel is far worse in the light of Galatians 1:6-11.

We need to make it clear that we are not Theonomist and do not believe that false teachers should be stoned as they were in the Old Testament. We must caution that under the Old Testament the Jewish nation could freely exercise the civil power of the sword. Tim Kauffman has pointed out that Roman Catholicism misunderstood the role of the church when it started using the civil sword against heretics starting in the latter part of the fourth century. He offers this caution to the three of us who participated in this episode. "I know the participants on the episode were being hyperbolic, but it almost came across as advocating corporal punishment for heretics. I would caution against such suggestions. It may not actually come across that way to the average listener. My ears are pretty finely tuned to the use of civil power by ecclesiastical authorities, and it never ends well, but I'm glad you came to the defense of Pulpit & Pen on this issue. Very important to stand firm." We thank him for his insight and wholeheartedly agree.

We would also like to congratulate Ryan Dozier on winning the set of books offered in last week's drawing. We also want to thank all those who participated and shared our episode. We hope to have more drawings in the future to show our appreciation for our listeners.

As always we want to thank Tim Kauffman and recommend his blog whitehorseblog.com to our listeners.

Join Tim and Joseph as we discuss whether or not Christians should see the movie Beauty and the Beast. How should we think about these things and what does the Bible have to teach us. The Washington Post writes: “LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston,” director Bill Condon told the magazine. “He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realizing that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it. And that’s what has its payoff at the end, which I don’t want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.”

It is important to think Biblically about these issues. We are in the world but not of the world.

This week SRR welcomes Tim Kauffman back to the show for another in-depth discussion of the Roman Catholic Mass. Both Tim Shaughnessy and Tim Kauffman have been converted out of Roman Catholicism and now regard the Mass as an abomination. Those are strong words to use so tune in and find out why the Catholic church is in grave error regarding this issue. Tim Kauffman addresses the criticism that we are being hateful and bashing the Roman Catholics. In Roman Catholics and Mass part, 1 Tim Kauffman met the "sacrifice challenge" head on and demonstrated from scripture and history that the Catholic Church is holding to a late 4th-century novelty. Join us in today's episode as we continue to look at what the early Church leaders taught as Tim Kauffman continues to dismantle the Catholic position.Questions? Comments? Feedback?

This week SRR welcomes Gary Edwards to the show for an in-depth discussion of the last two episodes with Peter Christian. In this episode, we ask whether or not Peter himself is heretical and we apply the command given in Romans 16:17, "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them." We also talk about Justification, Sanctification and the thief on the cross. We maintain that regeneration precedes faith and that works are not part of faith but rather are a consequence of saving faith. Gary Edwards has dealt with Peter Christian before and has this to say:

"I encourage all Grace Book [Gary's Facebook page] members to mark and be extremely worried about the behavior and false and wild claims of Peter Christian. This young man says that anyone who believes in progressive sanctification is a heretic and false convert. I asked him to answer a few questions in relation to a debate he had on a podcast below, to which he has come out attacking me like a savage dog, telling all sorts of lies. Please, Church, do not follow this young man's teaching, he is an infant in the faith, if even, and shouldn't be gathering so much attention. He believes that if you believe in paedobaptism, you are not in the faith! He believes if you believe in progressive sanctification, you are not in the faith! He believes that if you are wrong in any facet of the doctrines of Grace (lack knowledge), for him, the 5 points of Calvinism (to which he also is very confused by the way), you are not in the faith (neo-gnostic)! He believes that if you don't condemn the likes of John McArthur, Paul Washer, and Steve Lawson, you are conforming to easy believers, and therefore not in the faith! I asked him to answer these questions in relation to this poor debate (due to no fault from Bible ThumpingWingnut), attached below: "I have asked Peter to answer these questions, to help understand exactly who he is condemning as heretical. I think it is important to give him a chance to explain clearly how and all he puts into this LS basket and does he judge all heretical who doesn't believe what he believes here: Peter, can I ask you a couple of questions, please!? (1). Do you present any theological difference from those who teach progressive sanctification and those who teach LS? (2). Are these words synonymous in your understanding? (3). Do you believe that anyone who teaches progressive sanctification is heretical? (4). Do you believe anyone who teaches LS is heretical? Obviously depending on how you answer some of these questions will determine whether or not these questions seem repetitive to you. I ask these with respect, trying to understand exactly what way you view these issues. Thank you, Peter Gospel blessings"

Peter has since blocked me [Gary] and is blocking others, yet going all over the Web with this terrible theology! Peter needs to be brought to account on this, not defended, or marked as a wolf and avoided at all cost."

Since we released episode 29 Peter has to block Tim and Joseph on Facebook and has discontinued all discussion. At this point, we calling Peter Christian out and warning people away from his ministry.

This week SRR welcomes back to the show Peter Christian for another discussion on why he accuses Paul Washer, John MacArther, and Steve Lawson of being heretical. SRR and all of the representatives of this podcast do not agree with Peter assessment of these men. We believe that Peter makes multiple category errors and misrepresents his opponents. He confuses the evidence of salvation with the means of salvation and falsely accuses Washer, MacArther, and Lawson of adding works to the gospel. We attempt to point this out to Peter in the discussion.As we pointed out last week Peter Christian does a podcast out of Canada called Grace Hour Radio and is building a following of devoted listeners. Since our last episode, Peter has block Tim on facebook and has discontinued all discussion. At this point, we are not recommending Peter or his ministry to our listeners as we do not think he is teaching sound doctrine.

This week SRR welcomes Peter Christian to the show and asks him to defend his recent comments that Paul Washer, John MacArther, and Steve Lawson are heretical. Peter Christian does a podcast out of Canada called Grace Hour Radio and is building a following of devoted listeners. What starts out a discussion in this episode turns into a lively debate as Peter attempts to explain why he doesn't believe anyone can be saved without embracing the five points of Calvinism known by the acronym TULIP. It is interesting to point out that in this episode Peter states that there is no condition for salvation and appears to be confusing that with unconditional election. Peter makes multiple category errors and we may have to address some of it at a later time. At this point, we are not recommending Peter or his ministry to our listeners as we do not think he is teaching sound doctrine. Questions? Comments? Feedback?
