In this video, I review the debate that James White and Leighton Flowers had on John 6:44 (which really ended up being a debate on John 6:45). I am more Reformed so I was already extremely biased in White's direction, and after reviewing the debate more thoroughly, I still feel like White's position is much more easily defended from the text they were actually debating. Each side could pull from outside texts, but the simple reality is that the text itself teaches an effective drawing of God on a particular group, the elect.#reformed #calvinism #arminianism #freewill #debate #christianity #jameswhite --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------James White & Leighton Flowers-----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily
In this episode, I look at Scripture pertaining to three areas: (1) the unregenerate mind of unbelievers, (2) God's divine plan amidst horrific evils, and (3) the necessity of declaring the Gospel so that God can work through it to save elect sinners. It is hard for us as Christians to process school shootings and assassinations, and many other horrific events in the world, but we must always know that they happen in accordance with God's plan, and He is working them out for the good of His children, and is working through His children to bring the living, abiding, and regenerative Word to lost sinners, the enemies of God. We must love our enemies by giving them our lives of service and the Gospel.

In this episode, we look at Calvin's commentary on John 6:43-44 (NASB 1995), "43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day."
I discuss the concept of faith as a gift to God's elect people, His sheep, as well as the passing over, or reprobation, of those who reject Christ.

In this episode, we look at Calvin's commentary on John 6:41-42, as well as a clip from Ben Shapiro explaining the Jewish expectations of the Messiah, and how they differ from Christians.
In this episode, we dive into John 6:40, Calvin's commentaries, and other supporting texts that help us elucidate what reveals evidence that we are truly saved and predestined.
In this episode, we look at John Calvin's commentary on John 6:39. We see a clear picture of the justification and reasoning behind how we can rest assured that we have eternal security in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
We also look at some of the parallels between John 6 and John 10, that in both scenarios, we see that the Father gives the elect to the Son, just in John 10 we see that the elect are described as Sheep.

In this episode, I first respond to a Reddit troll who completely misunderstood my article on the correlation between obedience and our love for God/success for the Kingdom. Next, I look at Calvin's commentary of John 6:38-39, as well as Ephesians 1:1-12, to see if individuals are predestined (adopted) by God, or if simply the process (or plan) of salvation was predestined by God.
One of the most convincing aspects of John 6, in terms of predestination and election referring to individuals, is the word "everyone". If everyone given to the Son is raised up on the last day, then it must mean that individuals are chosen by God with 100% effective grace. Convincing still further in Ephesians 1 is the list of personal pronouns in the context of God's adoption and predestination unto salvation.

In this episode of the Coffee With John Calvin podcast, we discuss Calvin's view that faith is a gift from God, and that faith is not sourced from the will of fallen creatures, but is sourced only from God. It is a super interesting discussion. The idea that faith is a gift from God is supported in other areas of Scripture, as John Piper also argues, as we will see once we get further into this episode.

In this episode, I read John 6:35-44 to frame the discussion of prevenient vs. irresistible grace. Then, we look to John Calvin's commentary on John 6:35, where Christ refers to Himself as the Bread of Life, to see what meanings we can gather from the words of our Messiah.

In this episode, we look to John Calvin's commentary of Romans 8:7-9, where Paul shows that the believer's mind is set on the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in us.
Calvin addresses three themes in this episode, (1) divine providence, (2) human responsibility and accountability, and (3) the inadequacies of applying a freewill mindset to this passage of Scripture.

In this episode, we explore the difference in the mind set on the flesh vs. the mind set on the Spirit. It appears clear that Calvin taught that outside of God’s grace through regeneration, all we do is evil. And this makes sense, if we could actually do things that are spiritually fruitful without the Spirit of God in our lives, if we could actually do what is pleasing to God without God working through us, then we wouldn’t actually be dead in our sins. We would be partially alive, spiritually speaking, and that is not at all the picture of our fallen state that Scripture paints for us.
We are dead in our trespasses and sins; we are opposed to God by our very nature. We do not seek Him on our own, we do not do anything good.
In this episode, we look at three reasons why John Calvin possesses a unique tool kit for interpreting Scripture: (1) his background in studying Law, (2) his study of Renaissance Humanism, and (3) his study of the original languages of Scripture and early translations of Scripture (i.e., Hebrew, Latin, and Greek).
Furthermore, we look at Calvin's commentary on Genesis 1:1 to exemplify his abilities in utilizing the original languages and his education to understand the text of Scripture conservatively and literally.
