Justification: Theology and Debate

Jonathan — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:58:51 +0000

This video is taken from Alpha and Omega Ministries‘ [separate links] YouTube page.

This is a good illustration of how to handle a debate in Scripture exegetically.

Also, notice how Dr. White does not get overly upset, but instead defines the objective clearly, and repeats it so as to remind his caller to stay on topic.

Here is Dr. White’s description:

“A sedevacantist caller wanted to debate justification; so, I tried to go to the text of Scripture to allow the Word to define the term; he would have nothing of it. Highly instructional discussion.”
