Soteriology 101 w/ Dr. Leighton Flowers
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Dr. Leighton Flowers and Dr. Johnathan Pritchett (Traditionalists) debate Dr. Sonny Hernandez and Dr. Theodore Zachariades (Calvinists) over the doctrine of Free Will.
Things become a bit contentious in the CX when Theodore and Sonny disavow the London Baptist Confession's statement on free will (Chapter 9) since prior to the debate Leighton and Johnathan were told they affirmed it. This cause much unnecessary confusion and contention.
On July 18th, an email with all parties copied, Sonny said, "Hey Leighton, The best way to summarize our position would be to review the 1689 London Baptist Confession or the Westminster Confession of Faith (See Free will)." And even after Leighton literally copied and pasted chapter 9 (the one on Free Will) into the email and asking specifically what they affirmed, Sonny wrote back to all parties (including Theodore), "Leighton, what you see in the confession is what we affirm..." Leighton put up a live video on the Soteriology 101 facebook page showing all these emails for his followers to read for themselves.
Things also became unnecessarily heated when Theodore called his opponents "brothers" and then retracted that statement saying they were merely "opponents" and that he wasn't sure they were actual "brothers" due to their view of grace.
