Bob DeWaay: The Problem of Evil

Published

Returning for his third appearance on Echo Zoe Radio this month is Bob DeWaay, pastor of Twin City Fellowship church in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and author of Critical Issues Commentary. The topic of our discussion is “The Problem of Evil”, and is a follow up to the first episode of Echo Zoe Radio, when Bob and I discussed Open Theism. Our discussion is based on his article for CIC entitled “The Hebrew Lament and the Problem of Evil” (pdf also available.) We address the age-old question: If God is all-powerful, and He has a perfect sense of justice, why does He allow evil in the world?

In the course of discussion, Bob mentioned his current series for CIC Radio on the Book of Hebrews. That is also available at the CIC website.

Phil Johnson: Sola Fide

CDFor this episode Phil Johnson returns to discuss the Reformation doctrine of Sola Fide with me. Phil is the executive director of Grace to You, the tape and radio ministry that features the teachings of John MacArthur, a member of the Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals (FIRE), founder and blogger at Pyromaniacs, and curator of The Spurgeon Archive.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Phil explained Sola Fide, or “Faith Alone,” as a respones to Roman Catholic doctrine, which blends justification and sanctification, and enslaves followers in a system of works-righteousness. Sola Fide declares that justification comes by faith alone, and is a one-time, instantaneous event, not an ongoing process.
  • We are sanctified by faith, but not by faith alone, at least not in the same sense that we are justified by faith alone. The Arminian and Palagian misunderstanding of justification leads to a doctrine of perfectionism, which makes justification a process and sanctification an instantaneous event, rather than the other way around.
