Luther and His Father Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Paulson talks about how monastic life and satisfaction for sin outside of Christ harm not only the gospel but our understanding of the law. To highlight this, Caleb and Dr. Paulson read a letter from Luther to his father confessing his sin and asserting that fathers are a trustworthy source of God's words of command and promise. This letter is both an apology and admonition to children and parents to hear and receive the Word of God from the lips of another.

God's Kindness Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

What do you do when the accusation of the law strikes? Erasmus says you need to turn towards God's innate kindness and seek out new opportunities for penance. Luther strikes bake in shock against the man who published the critical New Testament that identified the problems with penance.

Romans 4:17 Sep 13, 2021

In this episode, Caleb and Dr. Paulson discuss salvation ex nihilo or "from nothing." That is that God does not use preexisting goodness or worthiness inside of you to bring about salvation, but salvation is a purely creative act of God's power.

This episode extends further into questions about certainty and evil. Dr. Paulson discusses the concept of "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
