A caller takes issue with one of Donofrio’s statements about forgiveness. Donofrio gets slapped around by Cwirla at the caller’s request. And then it’s on to Thesis 14 of the Proper Distinction of the Law and the Gospel and the improper understanding of faith as a cause of justification. All here on a very physical smack down edition of the God Whisperers.
Is faith a work? Something we do? Thesis 13 of Walther’s Law and Gospel when we finally get around to it in a particularly chatty episode of The God Whisperers.
Craig plays his ukulele (sort of), and we talk about the nature of sin, grace, faith and love from Thesis X of Walther’s Proper Distinction of the Law and the Gospel. Also “Spinal Tap” and a few other cinematic digressions.
We engage a couple of listener calls and add a little more bacon to the frypan for those who didn’t get enough of it last week. Then it’s on to faith and good works – in that order.
People worry about the necessity of good works for salvation; God worries about the necessity of salvation for good works.
More on Article 4 and justification.
Justification by grace through faith for Christ’s sake after some whisperings on skepticism, atheism, and a new book by Thomas Keller. We have some “technical difficulties” in the last 12 minutes. (We’d fire the sound engineer, but it was Cwirla. Enough said.)
