Outline of the Discussion
  • Jamal's podcast & Youtube channel – Prescribed Truth.
  • Social justice started becoming apparent to Jamal after Donald Trump was elected, and suddenly people were saying they couldn't worship next to others because of their votes.
  • Faulty presuppositions are the root of social justice fallacies. People presuppose bad motives behind the social justice issues they're trying to change.
  • Music in church is a challenge, and an example of how differences in taste can be twisted into a social justice issue.
  • Bringing the issues people get hung up on down to the basic level of it being a sin issue removes color or other superficial issues. The primary sin behind racial issues is partiality.
  • It's a hard thing to consider, but are some of the most vocal social justice warriors false converts?
  • It's important to remember that we're called to forgive each other.
  • It's good to recognize real injustices, even while addressing issues that aren't really injustices.
  • Is the real issue skin, or is it sin?
Scriptures Referenced
  • 1 Corinthians 13:7
  • John 13:35

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.
