Stalking James White Jun 01, 2016

Show notes

Dr. Flowers responds once again to James White's Dividing Line broadcast where White resorts to several ad hominem fallacies and accuses Flowers of stalking White and being obsessed with him. But Dr. Flowers attempts to focus on the hermeneutical issues and apparent hypocrisy of White in his dealings with a Unitarian as it related to the Romans 9 debate.

Here is the post on my facebook page that White references:

James White was on the Unbelievable? Podcast debating the divinity of Christ with an Unitarian. The Unitarian wanted to limit the discussion to the book of Acts alone and, with respect, I found White's response quite hypocritical as it relates to his dealings with my hermeneutic.

White argued that our hermeneutic cannot be limited to just one section of the NT but that we must look at the entire context of scripture to establish our doctrines (sound familiar?). If you recall that in our debate Dr. White questioned my hermeneutic of going to the entire New Testament to establish the context (of Gods judicial hardening etc). He accused me of not doing exegesis properly because I appealed to passages outside of one single chapter (Romans 9). He even went so far as to argue that my approach would not work when defending the deity of Christ and other foundational doctrines, yet when he was debating this Unitarian he clearly had to go outside the one book the Unitarian wanted to limit the discussion to. I agreed with White in his debate against the Unitarian but his answers reveal exactly the point I was attempting to argue.

As you listen to White defend his hermeneutic against this Unitarian, I challenge you to apply his exact argument to our debate, I think the parallel will be astonishingly clear and White's hypocrisy revealed.

Parables, Secrets & Hardening May 20, 2016

Show notes

We play clips from Dr. White's debate with Steven Gregg and compare them with Dr. Flowers debate on the same point. This highlights the connection between Calvinist's presuppositions in contrast to Traditionalists presuppositions, which reveals why some Calvinists can't seem to follow our line of argumentation when talking about Romans 9 and John 6. Dr. Flowers explains how Judicial Hardening, the Messianic Secret and Jesus use of Parables affects one's interpretation of scripture

Dr. James White is in London so Rich Pierce, the President of Alpa and Omega Ministries, has once again taken the opportunity to provide critique of the debate from last year over Romans 9. He accuses me of being unwilling to listen and engage yet he and White are the ones who have continually refused to engage me since the debate. Today we go through each of Pierce's arguments.
