Episode 20: Wesley on Free Will

July 25, 2017 04:00 - 30 minutes - 42.7 MB

Now it is John Wesley's turn. What did Wesley have to say about free will? Is his understanding also better understood as "freed" will? Spoiler Alert: Wesley did not believe that humans have natural free will but that free will is a gift of divine grace. Some things in this episode may surprise you a little and your Calvinist friends even more. Wesley was for the most part "Augustinian" in his understanding of free will and he relied on the Pre-Augustinian Church Fathers as well. As usual we...

Episode #19: Arminius on Free Will

July 11, 2017 07:00 - 28 minutes - 38.9 MB

Is it true that Calvinists believe in predestination and Arminians believe in free will? Not really. In this episode we discuss what Arminius really believed about free will and how it is better understood as freed will. We will also talk about whether Arminius and Wesley would side with Erasmus or Luther in the free will debate. Hint, they would side with the German. Throughout our discussion we will be jumping into both primary and secondary sources. Don't miss the next episode where we wi...

Episode #18: Open Theism Revisited (Part 2)

June 27, 2017 07:00 - 38 minutes - 53.9 MB

In this episode we will be revisiting the topic of Open Theism and specifically focus on how Open Theism differs from Wesleyan-Arminian Theology in regards to the doctrine of foreknowledge. To do this we will be reading through a large number of quotes by Open Theists to see what they have to say in regards to foreknowledge. Then we will jump into what Jacob Arminius and John Wesley had to say about foreknowledge. Hopefully, by the end of the episode, you will see a clear contrast between Op...

Episode #17: Open Theism Revisited (Part 1)

June 13, 2017 07:00 - 24 minutes - 33.5 MB

In this episode we will be revisiting the topic of Open Theism and specifically focus on how Open Theism differs from Wesleyan-Arminian Theology in regards to Meticulous Providence. We will first illustrate the beliefs of Open Theists by quoting Open Theists. We will then introduce the Wesleyan-Arminian perspective based on a combination of secondary sources and primary sources. Along the way we look into a very interesting exchange that took place between Roger Olson and Thomas Oden over Op...

Episode #16: Open Theism (Part 2)

May 23, 2017 07:00 - 34 minutes - 48.1 MB

In this episode we continue to explore the question of whether or not Open Theism can properly be categorized as "Arminian" theology. We also want to clarify that these two episodes (15 & 16) were never intended to be a full blown attack on Open Theism, rather they were simply made to inform our listeners what Open Theism is and then determine whether or not Open Theism could be properly considered Arminian or not based on the writings of Arminian scholars. In this episode we read through so...

Episode #15: Open Theism (Part 1)

May 09, 2017 07:00 - 36 minutes - 50.9 MB

In this episode we ask the question whether or not Open Theism can properly be categorized as "Arminian" theology. We start off by defining Open Theism and then turn to some analysis of Open Theism by Tim Challies (see link below). We then weigh in on the opinions of some modern Arminian scholars on the question.  Tim Challies Article: https://www.challies.com/articles/challenges-to-the-church-open-theism

Minisode 30: Middle Knowledge

May 02, 2017 07:00 - 11 minutes - 15.7 MB

In this minisode we will be exploring the concept of Middle Knowledge and how it fits in the broader doctrine of foreknowledge in the thought of Arminius. To do this we will be jumping back into the same two disputations we read through in the past two weeks (Public Disputation IV and Private Disputation XVII). We will then look for some help from Stanglin and McCall in their book "Jacob Arminius: Theologian of Grace" for some clarification. 

Minisode 29: Arminius on Foreknowledge (Part 2)

April 25, 2017 07:00 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MB

In this minisode we will continue exploring what the writings of Arminus have to say about the Doctrine of Divine Knowledge and specifically Foreknowledge. To do that we will be reading through a section of Public Disputation IV entitled: "On The Understanding of God." Once again it is clear that Arminius was no Open Theist in his understanding of the knowledge of God.  Links: http://wesley.nnu.edu/arminianism/the-works-of-james-arminius/volume-1/public-disputations/disputation-4-on-the...

Minisode 28: Arminius on Foreknowledge (Part 1)

April 18, 2017 07:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MB

In this minisode we examine what Arminius wrote concerning the knowledge of God with a specific focus on foreknowledge. To do this we will be reading through Private Disputation 17: "On The Understanding of God." This episode will be the first in a three podcast series that will culminate in a full analysis of whether or not Open Theism could truly be called "Arminian." It should be pretty clear after listening through this minisode that it shouldn't be. Arminius has a very strong doctrine o...

Episode #14: Regeneration

April 04, 2017 07:00 - 57 minutes - 79.1 MB

This episode of Remonstrance is devoted to the Doctrine of Regeneration. One major question we will be looking into is whether or not regeneration precedes faith (the Calvinist view) or if faith precedes regeneration (the Wesleyan-Arminian view). We will be reading through sections of articles by the Society of Evangelical Arminians (SEA) and discussing them. Then we will move on and look at what Arminius specifically had to say about regeneration and what Wesley specifically had to say abou...

Minisode 27: Wesley on Regeneration

March 28, 2017 07:00 - 21 minutes - 30.3 MB

In this minisode we will be reading through John Wesley's Sermon, "The New Birth" to get some insight into his views on the Doctrine of Regeneration. This is a great sermon by Wesley. He covers the depravity of man as a result of the fall. He also writes about the nature of the new birth and why the new birth is necessary. The questions he asks are as follows in his own words: "First, Why must we be born again? What is the foundation of this doctrine of the new birth? Secondly, How must we b...

Minisode 26: Arminius on Regeneration

March 21, 2017 07:00 - 19 minutes - 27 MB

This minisode launches a three podcast series where we will examine the doctrine of regeneration in the thought of Jacob Arminius and John Wesley. In this minisode we will specifically focus on what Arminius had to write about regeneration in his works. To do this we will be reading through a selection from his commentary on Romans 7 where he deals with the doctrine of regeneration, specifically the differences between the regenerate person and the unregenerate person. We will also be readin...

Episode #13: Saving Faith

March 07, 2017 08:00 - 50 minutes - 70 MB

In this episode we will discuss the doctrine of saving faith in the thought of Jacob Arminius and John Wesley. The episode will focus on how both men taught that faith was a gift of God. We will also discuss how both Arminius and Wesley had a very theocentric understanding of salvation and were not man centered at all. We will also discuss how the theology of Arminius and Wesley was different from the theology of other theologians such as Charles Finney on this point. For help on this episod...

Minisode 25: Wesley on Faith

February 28, 2017 08:00 - 14 minutes - 19.8 MB

In this episode we will be reading through a portion of John Wesley's sermon "Salvation By Faith" to start getting some insight into Wesley's views on faith. It is clear from this sermon that Wesley did not understand faith as something that people can do independent of the grace of God. Wesley in strong terms emphasizes the divine activity of God in saving sinners. Wesley is clear that faith is a gift of God and that God works faith in men's hearts. In working faith into men's hearts, God (...

Minisode 24: Arminius on Faith

February 21, 2017 08:00 - 22 minutes - 31.6 MB

This minisode will launch a three podcast series that will explore the theme of the gift of faith in the thought of Jacob Arminius and John Wesley. This episode will focus on the views of Arminius by reading through three short selections from his works. After listening to this episode it will be clear that Arminius understood that faith is a gift of God that does not originate in man. Faith is a gift of Divine Grace according to the thought of Arminius. These selections from his work will a...

Episode #12: Wesley On Depravity

February 07, 2017 08:00 - 59 minutes - 82.1 MB

In this episode we will look at John Wesley's understanding of Total Depravity. On this issue Wesley was even clearer than Arminius was. For help we will look to some of the foremost modern Wesleyan scholars. Harold Lindstrom, Kenneth J. Collins, and Thomas C. Oden to name a few. We will also discuss parts of a great article by Keith Drury and Chris Bounds. You can find the link to the full article below. Please share this episode with those who doubt that Wesley believed in Total Depravity....

Minisode 23: Wesley On Depravity (Part 2)

January 31, 2017 08:00 - 21 minutes - 29.9 MB

This minisode is the second in a three podcast series that will examine John Wesley's theology in regards to Total Depravity. We will return again and read more from Wesley's "The Doctrine of Original Sin." Wesley is even clearer in this section about his thoughts in regards to the natural state of man. He is very clear that man in his natural state is totally depraved and unable to come to God without Divine Grace. In the section we will be reading through a section where Wesley focuses on ...

Minisode 22: Wesley On Depravity (Part 1)

January 24, 2017 08:00 - 18 minutes - 26.3 MB

This minisode will launch a three podcast series that will examine John Wesley's theology in regards to Total Depravity. To do so we will be reading a selection from Wesley's "The Doctrine of Original Sin." Wesley emphasized the total depravity and inability of man in his natural state VERY STRONGLY. You will get the picture after listening to this minisode. If you want to read through selections of John Wesley's "The Doctrine of Original Sin" check out the link below. The part of the book t...

Episode #11: Arminius and Total Depravity

January 10, 2017 08:00 - 55 minutes - 76.3 MB

Happy New Year! We will start off this episode discussing the most significant loss of 2016: Methodist Theologian Thomas C. Oden. We will briefly discuss his life and our favorite works by him. Then we will move on and talk about the views of Jacob Arminius on the doctrine of Total Depravity. There is SO MUCH false information floating around about what Arminius taught on Total Depravity. Hopefully this episode will clear up some misconceptions. We then finish the episode discussing the VERY...

Minisode 21: Arminius on Depravity (Part 2)

December 27, 2016 08:00 - 12 minutes - 17.5 MB

This is the second episode in a three podcast series that will examine the views of Arminius on depravity. In this episode we will be reading through a section of Public Disputation VII: "On the First Sin of the First Man." Here Arminius describes the impact of the fall on humanity and how sin has spread through the human race. We will then move on and read a selection from his letter to Hippolytus A Collibus where he describes the necessity of grace and the inability of man in VERY strong t...

Minisode 20: Arminius on Depravity (Part 1)

December 20, 2016 08:00 - 17 minutes - 24.4 MB

This minisode will launch a three podcast series examining the doctrine of depravity as taught by Jacob Arminius. In this minisode we will be reading through a portion of Arminius's public Disputation 11: "On the Free Will of Man and Its Powers." Here Arminius contrasts the state of man before and after the fall. He also discusses the impact of sin on mankind after the fall and the benefits of grace given through Christ. There is literally no way that someone could claim Arminius denied tota...

Episode #10: Wesley on Predestination

December 06, 2016 08:00 - 54 minutes - 76.1 MB

Merry Christmas! In this episode we will be talking about John Wesley's doctrine of Predestination. In doing so we will touch on Wesley's understanding of foreknowledge as well. We will also discuss the history of the controversy between Wesley and George Whitefield on the question of Predestination. Then we will look at Wesley's Doctrine of Decrees and some of his criticisms of the Calvinist understanding of Predestination. We also give some recommendations of what you should put on your Ch...

Minisode 19: Free Grace

November 29, 2016 08:00 - 18 minutes - 26 MB

In this minisode we will be reading through a portion of John Wesley's sermon, "Free Grace." Here he defines "Free Grace" and then presents eight points against the doctrine of absolute, double predestination. At the end of the sermon Wesley explains his own doctrine of decrees. Links: "Free Grace" (full text and audio versions below) http://www.umcmission.org/Find-Resources/John-Wesley-Sermons/Sermon-128-Free-Grace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYtoqvo9aYc "John Wesley's Teachi...

Minisode 18: On Predestination

November 22, 2016 08:00 - 21 minutes - 29.3 MB

This minisode will begin a three podcast series that will examine Wesley's teaching on Predestination. For this episode we will be reading through Wesley's Sermon "On Predestination" which is obviously a good place to start. Contrary to popular opinion Wesley did have a doctrine of Predestination. We will also receive help from Thomas Oden in his book, "John Wesley's Teachings Volume 2: Christ and Salvation" which you absolutely MUST buy.  "On Predestination" by John Wesley http://wesle...

Episode #9: Ten Things I Wish Everyone Knew About Arminianism

November 15, 2016 08:00 - 49 minutes - 68 MB

In this episode we will be reading through and discussing some important points that Dr. Joseph Dongell brings up in his article titled, "Ten Things I Wish Everyone Knew About Arminianism." Dr. Dongell writes a lot of insightful things regarding Arminianism and the history of Arminian theology and we are excited to talk about it. Be sure to check out the full article below so Dr. Dongell's wish could come true.

Episode #8: Reformation Day 2016

October 31, 2016 07:00 - 1 hour - 92.8 MB

Happy Reformation Day! In this episode we will be examining how the theologies of Jacob Arminius and John Wesley were aligned with the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation: Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Sola Scriptura, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria. To do this we will be examining both primary and secondary sources. You may be surprised to find out that both Arminius and Wesley were theological heirs of the Protestant Reformation and their theology and doctrine were faithful to all five ...

Minisode 17: Wesley on Roman Catholicism

October 25, 2016 07:00 - 15 minutes - 21.3 MB

Happy Reformation Month! In this episode we will be reading a short selection from John Wesley's writing, "Popery Calmly Considered." Wesley is pretty "calm" for most of it, although he gets fired up in a few places. In this work Wesley makes VERY clear that he is Protestant to the core. He affirms the five solas, and particularly "Sola Scriptura." Hopefully this episode will clear up any false ideas about where Wesley stood in regards to Roman Catholic doctrines and theology. Don't miss the...

Minisode 16: Sola Fide with Wesley

October 18, 2016 07:00 - 11 minutes - 16.2 MB

Happy Reformation Month! We are counting down the days to the 499th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation! Why? Because as Wesleyan-Arminians we are 100% Protestant. In this first podcast in a three podcast series on the Reformation we will be looking at how John Wesley affirmed the Reformation teaching of Sola Fide. To do this we will be reading a short selection from his writing, "The Principles of a Methodist" where he explains his teaching on Sola Fide. Don't miss the ne...

Episode #7: Arminius on Predestination

October 04, 2016 07:00 - 54 minutes - 75.7 MB

This is the seventh full episode! We will be discussing the doctrine of Predestination as articulated by Jacob Arminius. First, we define Predestination. Then we look how Arminius defined Predestination. What becomes very clear is how Christocentric the Arminian doctrine of Predestination is! Then we look through the "Declaration of Sentiments" by Arminius and see what he had to say about the Divine Order of Decrees and compare the Arminian Order of Decrees to the Supralapsarian and Infralap...

Minisode 15: Arminius on Predestination (Part 2)

September 27, 2016 07:00 - 21 minutes - 30.4 MB

We will be diving into two private disputations by Arminius on this minisode. The first is Private Disputation 40: "On the Predestination of Believers" and Private Disputation 41: "On the Predestination of Means to the End." In these disputations Arminius presents a very Christocentric understanding of predestination and election while simultaneously showing his strong opposition to human ability without grace! Arminius is not optimistic about anthropology one bit.  Here are the links to t...

Minisode 14: Arminius on Predestination (Part 1)

September 20, 2016 07:00 - 19 minutes - 26.8 MB

This minisode will kick off a three podcast series that will examine what Arminius had to say about the Doctrine of Predestination. Many people wrongly assume that Arminius did not hold to a Doctrine of Predestination. This is NOT true! He held strongly to the Doctrine of Predestination, but believed nothing should be taught beyond what the Scriptures had to say. In this episode we will be reading Public Disputation #15: "On Divine Predestination." In this writing Arminius does an incredible...

Episode #6: What Is the Will of God?

September 06, 2016 07:00 - 56 minutes - 78.8 MB

This episode of Remonstrance is entirely devoted to the question, "What is the will of God?" We first discuss the Calvinist understanding of the will of God to provide context for the Arminian understanding. We also look at Calvin's distinction between the decretive and prescriptive will of God. We then discuss the philosophical differences between Voluntarism and Intellectualism. It is more important than you might think. We then look at the distinction between the Antecedent and Consequent...

Remonstrance Minisode 13: Arminius on the Will of God (Part 2)

August 30, 2016 07:00 - 18 minutes - 26.3 MB

This minisode is the second in a three podcast series where we will be asking the question, "what is the will of God?" from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. In this episode we read a selection from Public Disputation IV by Jacob Arminius. We will only focus on Section 2, "On the Will of God." We will read a brief excerpt from the Disputation and then have some brief theological commentary on it. This is not an easy Disputation, but it is really good! Maybe listen through this more than once....

Remonstrance Minisode 12: Arminius on the Will of God (Part 1)

August 23, 2016 07:00 - 21 minutes - 29.7 MB

This minisode is the first in a three podcast series where we will be asking the question, "what is the will of God?" from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective. In this episode we will read two private disputations of Jacob Arminius. The first is Private Disputation 18, "On The Will of God." The second is Private Disputation 19, "On the Various Distinctions of the Will of God." Each reading will be followed by a brief theological commentary. These disputations are tough so get ready for some seri...

Remonstrance Episode #5: What Does It Mean to Be Arminian?

August 09, 2016 07:00 - 55 minutes - 77.5 MB

In this episode we ask the very important question, "What Does It Mean to Be Arminian?" Historically, there have been many different definitions of the term "Arminian" and it becomes very confusing. To add to the confusion the term "Arminian" means something else in different historical eras and even in different countries throughout history! In this episode we make a distinction between "Arminianism of the Heart" and "Arminianism of the Head." Unfortunately, many of the later Remonstrants...

Remonstrance Minisode 11: What Is An Arminian?

July 26, 2016 07:00 - 13 minutes - 18.8 MB

In this Minisode we will be asking the basic (but not so basic) question: "What Is An Arminian?" And see how John Wesley answered this question in his short writing titled (very appropriately) "What Is An Arminian?" In this writing Wesley brings up a lot of good points. He is clear that Arminians and Calvinists should come to an understanding of each other's theology so they could have a productive dialogue.  He also points out that no one should speak out against Arminianism unless they h...

Remonstrance Minisode 10: The Systematic Wesleyan

July 20, 2016 07:00 - 19 minutes - 27.2 MB

This episode is a call to study Wesleyan Theology in a systematic way. As Fred Sanders points out, the Wesleyan-Arminian Tradition is not known for its systematic theologians...but they are out there. In fact, NOW is the best time in history to begin studying Wesleyan theology in a "systematic" way because of the resources that are available!  In this episode we will briefly look at why there was a lack of systematic theologians at the beginning of the Wesleyan Movement. We will then look ...

Remonstrance Episode #4: Justification and Imputation

July 05, 2016 07:00 - 52 minutes - 72.1 MB

This episode is entirely devoted to the Doctrine of Justification with specific emphasis on what Wesley and Arminius had to say about Imputation. We realize there is a lot of debate and confusion today about the Doctrine of Justification. It is important for Wesleyans and Arminians to see what their theological founders had to say. To do this we will be reading and discussing a variety of secondary and primary sources on Justification and Imputation. It is clear that both Wesley and Arminius...

Remonstrance Minisode 9: Wesley on Imputation

June 28, 2016 07:00 - 20 minutes - 28.5 MB

In this minisode we will be mostly reading John Wesley's sermon, "The Lord Our Righteousness" to investigate his views on Imputation. If you want to understand Wesley's most mature thought on Justification, and namely Imputation, this is the best sermon to read. He wrote it in 1765 after a time of reflection and refinement of his teaching on this.  Wesley undoubtedly held to the Doctrine of Imputation in a way not very different (if different at all) from his Reformed contemporaries. He (l...

Remonstrance Minisode 8: Arminius on Imputation

June 14, 2016 07:00 - 11 minutes - 16.2 MB

In this minisode we will be looking at Arminius on the Doctrine of Imputation within his larger doctrine of Justification. You may be surprised to find out how close Arminius was to Calvin on this! And we are not making this up...this is all what Arminius wrote himself! To explore this topic we will be looking at "The Declaration of Sentiments" by Arminius as well as his "Public Disputation 19: On the Justification of Man Before God." We will be releasing an episode in the next couple of w...

Remonstrance Episode #3: The Doctrine of the Atonement

June 07, 2016 07:00 - 46 minutes - 64.6 MB

This is our third full episode of Remonstrance Podcast. In this episode we will discuss the Wesleyan-Arminian Doctrine of the Atonement. First, we will explain the various major views on the Atonement. They are the Governmental, the Satisfaction, and the Penal-Substitution views. After that we will look at Hugo Grotius and the history of the Governmental View of the Atonement. Then we will look at what Arminius and Wesley taught in regards to the Atonement (spoiler alert: they did not hold t...

Remonstrance Minisode 7: Arminius on the Atonement

May 26, 2016 07:00 - 11 minutes - 15.4 MB

In this minisode we will begin exploring what Arminius taught on the Doctrine of the Atonement. It is clear that Arminius did not hold to the Governmental Theory of the Atonement but to (at least) the Satisfaction Theory instead. This episode will show this from the works of Jacob Arminius "Oration IV." We will also receive theological guidance from Dr. Roger Olson and his excellent book, "Arminian Theology Myths and Realities." Be on the look out for our next full episode that will be entir...

Remonstrance Episode #2: The Doctrine of Divine Providence

May 10, 2016 07:00 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MB

This is our second full episode of Remonstrance podcast! On this episode we will be taking an in depth look at the theology of Jacob Arminius and John Wesley in regards to Divine Providence. We will start off by defining Providence and Meticulous Providence. Then we will be looking at what Arminius had to say, specifically in regards to preservation, divine governance, divine concurrence, and permission. We also look at the "greater good" theodicy in the thought of Jacob Arminius and how God...

Remonstrance Minisode 6: John Wesley on Divine Providence

May 05, 2016 07:00 - 21 minutes - 30.3 MB

Collins. This minisode will be followed up by our next full episode that will be all about the doctrine of Divine Providence that will be released next week. Please subscribe!

Remonstrance Minisode 5: Jacob Arminius on Divine Providence

April 27, 2016 07:00 - 15 minutes - 20.9 MB

In this minisode we will start looking at the views of Jacob Arminius on the Doctrine of Divine Providence. To help begin this investigation we read "Disputation 28: On the Providence of God" from the complete works of Jacob Arminius. After reading through the disputation there is a brief analysis of the disputation with help from Roger Olson, Keith Stanglin, and Thomas McCall. This minisode will be followed up by our next full episode that will be all about the doctrine of Divine Providence...

Remonstrance Minisode 4: The Adventures of Johannes Wtenbogaert

April 12, 2016 07:00 - 14 minutes - 20.6 MB

In this minisode we will be looking at the life of the Arminian pastor, statesman, and theologian: Johannes (Jan) Wtenbogaert. We will follow his life from his birth in Utrecht, his close friendship with Jacob Arminius, his studies at Geneva under Beza, his involvement in the Arminian controversy, his authorship of the Remonstrance of 1610, his exile to Belgium and France, and his death in the Hague at the age of eighty-seven. All the while we will be looking at background information on the...

Remonstrance Minisode 3: What Were the Views of John Wesley in Regards to Justification by Faith?

March 28, 2016 13:00 - 20 minutes - 28.2 MB

In this minisode we will be looking at what John Wesley taught about the doctrine of Justification by Faith. We hope this will clear up any misunderstandings any of our listeners may have in regards to this issue. The majority of the episode allows Wesley to speak for himself through his sermon "Justification by Faith." Please subscribe! John Wesley, "Justification by Faith" https://www.umcmission.org/Find-Resources/John-Wesley-Sermons/Sermon-5-Justification-by-Faith Fred Sanders, "Wesley...

Remonstrance Minisode 2: What Did Jacob Arminius Have to Say About Justification by Faith?

March 21, 2016 23:51 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MB

On this second minisode we will discuss what Jacob Arminius believed about the doctrine of Justification by Faith. We do this by reading his own words from one of his disputations on faith and one of his disputations on Justification. Please subscribe!  You can find the link to our website here: http://remonstrancepodcast.com Check out our theologians page: http://remonstrancepodcast.com/theologians/
