Dr. Leighton Flowers plays a sermon from Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, TX by teaching pastor, Josh Howerton, who uses Acts 18:10 to teach a lesson on Predestination. When Jesus said to his disciples, "I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city," was He meaning to communicate that He had unconditionally pre-chosen some of the people in the city that He was going to irresistibly cause to have faith, or was he simply pointing out that there were many God-fearing people in the city who, like Cornelius or Lydia, were open to hearing...

Dr. Leighton Flowers confronts Dr. James White's most recent Dividing Line broadcast where he once again accused me of "not hardly touching the text" in our debates. Of course this has been proven to be false here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SetRqfS02R8) where we put each of our commentaries next to each other and timed them to demonstrate that White's claim is objectively false. But, today we want to spend most of our time on the Calvinistic view of Romans 8 regarding what they often call, "The Golden Chain." In doing so, we will look at one Biblical scholar who provides...

Dr. Leighton Flowers plays clips from a recent debate over Romans 9 between AK Richardson and James White in which White admits that God created Adam and Eve with Libertarian Free Will (LFW), but seems to think God, in His sovereignty, would not be able to bring about His purposes if mankind maintained that level of freedom. We disagree because we think God is powerful enough to handle not only ONE free will choice, but KATRILLIONS.

info_outlineDr. Leighton Flowers presents a short explanation of Jesus's parable of the Wedding Banquet in Matthew 22.
There are several divine choices made by God to bring about redemption.
1) The election of the nation that the king ruled over in the parable (representing Israel)
2) The election of the servants from that nation to deliver the wedding invitations (representing prophets/apostles).
3) The election of those who would receive the invitations (representing the message going first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles)
4) The election to permit those properly clothed in wedding garments to enter (representing those clothed in Christ’s righteousness by faith)
The moral of Christ’s parable was, “Many are called, but few are elect” (v. 14). In other words, many are “unconditionally” invited by “unconditionally” elected servants from an “unconditionally” elected nation.
- The nation was not chosen because it was more moral or more deserving (i.e. “unconditional”)
- The servants from that nation were not selected because they were more moral or more deserving. (i.e. “unconditional”)
- And the invitations were not sent to people because they were more moral or deserving. (i.e. “unconditional”)
- The invitation (WORD) was brought to the world through a nation (and individually selected servants from that nation). This is what Christ is referencing when he says, “many are called.”
What does Christ mean by “few are elect?” Clearly, this is in reference to those conditionally permitted entrance into the banquet based upon their being properly clothed in the right wedding garments. The King elects to permit those rightly clothed to come in while the rest are cast out. Likewise, God will only permit those clothed in the righteousness of Christ to enter heaven. The “few” who are “elect” were clearly conditionally chosen based upon their garments (the righteousness of Christ). This is the foundational understanding of “corporate election to salvation.” We are elect only insofar as we are connected with Christ (clothed in His righteousness).
This parable, like Romans 9, includes all of the King’s choices, not just the last one. In other words, the parable involves not only the King’s choice to grant or deny an individual’s entrance into the banquet, but also the King’s choices in fulfilling his purposes through his own nation and those individual servants selected to deliver the invitations. Likewise, Paul, in Romans 9, has all of these divine choices well in view.
