In this episode of FUA and CSG, I sit down with two great guys to discuss the differences between the Eastern Orthodox and Protestant view of the Doctrine of Justification! Special Guests Fr. John Whiteford (Orthodox) and David Louis (Protestant) join me to discuss their exegesis of passages of Scripture like Romans 3, James 2, Matthew 25, etc., as well as answer moderator and audience questions! We begin this episode with and introduction from our guests, then we formalize the discussion by reading excerpts from both "The Confessions of Dositheus Decree 13" and "The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 11" that describe the Orthodox and Protestant understandings of Justification. For the remainder, we begin reading, exegeting, asking and answering moderator and audience questions about passages of Scripture including Romans 3:19-31 and James 2:14-26.

On this episode of Faith Unaltered Dale and Tyler are joined by New Testament Scholar, Dr. Darrell Bock to discuss the advancements of Cultural Apologetics in the 21st century as well as making an affirmative apologetic case for the Historical Jesus of Nazareth! There is a lot of overlap of the two subjects as we seek to teach you not only how affirm and defend the case for the historical Christ but to understand how to relate to people that are coming from potentially a completely different place. We begin with definintions and background info about Dr. Bock and then transition into the importance of connecting relationally with others! Listening to others not to rebut but to understand the values of what makes them "tick", asking questions, and establishing relationship with those who have a different worldview are key when it comes practicing successful cultural apologetics. A very important lesson Dale and I learned in this segment: "People wanna know how much you care before they care about how much you know." We then shift gears and discuss the historical Jesus, begininng with arguing for and establishing the fact Jesus of Nazareth was an historical figure (no matter what are Jesus mythicist friends like to say) and the best way to grasp 1st century testimony about Jesus from figures like Josephus, Pliny, Tacitus, and others. We also discuss an old idea from Liberal scholars who want to add to the datapool quotes from texts like the Gospel of Thomas and other later literature to paint a more "accurate" picture of the historical Jesus and the problems this could possibly bring to scholarship. Throughout the rest of this episode we discuss the Messianic claims of the New Testament, connecting the Old Testament concept of "God" to the New Testament Person of Jesus including the "Two Powers in Heaven" view articulated by the late Jewish Scholar, Dr. Alan Segal, establishing the fact of Jesus' resurrection, and much, much more! Wanna tread the depths of these topics? You'll have to listen to this episode and travel with us on this amazing journey guided by Dr. Bock!

In part 2 we pick right back up where we left off in part 1 by addressing the relationship between a person being “a source” of their actions and God’s decree. Does the decree (and by proxy God) limit the person from actually being a “source” of their actions? After diving deeper into a Frankfurt Style Case (FSC) and how exactly it applies to Colton’s view of Theological Determinism as well as an engaging dialogue between Colton and Dale about the FSC Colton raised, we go over audience questions about moral responsibility, the sensus divinitatas (sense of the Divine) and how God’s freedom works to clarify and expound on Colton’s position! All in all I think both Part 1 and Part 2 of this episode really helped clarify the issues at hand between Christian Compatibilist’s and Incompatibilist’s. Both Colton and Tyler articulated their position exceptionally well and I recommend both parts of this episode to anyone that is interested in learning about how Christian’s reconcile Problem of Evil questions as well as to those who are interested and either just beginning their journey into examining the different philosophical positions found within Christianity or to those who have been on this journey for quite sometime. I think you will find the much needed clarification about certain areas in the entire realm of Theological Determinism and Christian Compatibilism in Part 1 and Part 2 as well as maybe even expand your own understanding of this subject that helps those who are on the fence finally make a free choice ;) in deciding where you stand on this issue!
On this episode of Faith Unaltered we invited Tyler Vela (The Freed Thinker Podcast) and Colton Carlson talk Calvinism, Determinism & Comptibilism and Moral Responsibility! On part 1 of this episode the crew dives into definitions of Compatiblilsm, Regulative and Guidance Control and Source-hood as well as hear examples given by Colton and Tyler V. concerning Frankfurt Style Case/Arguments, listen while the two elaborate on Regulative and Guidance Control, Moderate Reasons Responsiveness and how the Sensus Divinitatas (Sense of the Divine) plays a part in how we participate with Guidance Control. After that we ask why exactly Tyler and Colton prefer Compatiblism over Incompatiblism. During this segment we dive into Sciptural evidence, how Determining Grace, Divine Foreknowledge and Monergism have an impact, as well as here arguments for why Folk intuition of Libertarianism is false. We wrap up part 1 before Tyler V. has to leave with the question of how God's decree actually plays out in reality and discuss the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart and the difference between God knowledge regarding logical and metaphysical possibility.

With NASA recently appointing a 16 member team to study the UFO/UAP phenomena as well as with Halloween fast approaching, we at Faith Unaltered HAD to talk about this and put a Biblical spin on the subject! So we invited Astronomer and Theologian Dr. Hugh Ross from Reasons to Believe back on the show to discuss Angel's, Aliens and the Paranormal!!! Are UFO's/UAP's of a Biblical origin? Are what people commonly identify as "Alien" actually Angelic in nature? Why does there seem to be an uptick in paranormal activity across the globe? And what does the Bible have to say about this subject? Find out the answers to these questions and many more on this special episode of FAITH UNALTERED!!!

On this episode of Faith Unaltered: David, Tyler and J.D. explore the Scriptures to better understand what sin is, as well as understand how, by the grace of God through the power the Holy Spirit gives to all believer's in Jesus, we can begin to overcome the sin that so easily trips us up! Holiness and the daily battle of striving to overcome sin is a must for someone who professes faith in Jesus! These concepts are more important than we tend to give credit for today, and a topic forgotten in many congregations across the nation. There are real life consequences for anyone that has been "born again" who stray into a lifestyle of unrepentant sin. In this episode we offer real life tips we've all learned on our journey to Christ, and explore passages of God's Word to encourage us to continue to strive to be holy like our Father in Heaven! When we fall, get back up and try again! Biblical Texts Cited Genesis 1:27 1 John 1:8-2:2 1 Corinthians 10:13 Psalm 51 Social Media J.D.
