Voices of church past

St. Augustine points to the book of wisdom to refute Pelagian thought. 

We are fast approaching the end to Augustine's work on predestination. What shall be his closing arguments?

The man most quoted at the time of the reformation continues his arguments about predestination over against Pelagianism. 

We listen as the famous Augustine argues further on the limits of our free will.

We continue to hear from one of the most quoted fathers during the reformation on predestination. 

One of the most controversial writers in church history. and we are going to read him on predestination. I hope you all enjoy Ive been putting him off abit because I am Augustinian in my theology. But the time is right, lets do this.

we are coming up on the end of the incarnation argument made by Athanasius a defender of orthodoxy a voice for truth against a tidal wave of error and lies. He tends to stack arguments upon each other one after another modern day thinkers tend to stay with one argument let i play out and then move on to other arguments. but Athanasius argues that the death of Christ was necessary to bring about the resurrection which is the first fruits of Christians resurrection. And then He moves on to another  argument. its really fascinating for me to hear how he thinks and argues in light of modern day thinkers. hope you find it interesting to. 

getting deeper into the arguments of how the incarnation testifies to Jesus divinity.

We are back at hearing the voice of church past. Athanasius one of the most important voices in the history of the church and one of the bravest. 

We get back to reading Athanasius arguing on the why of the incarnation. 

welcome to season two thank you so much for making season one well listened too and far beyond my expectations. Lets keep building a church history buff community where we look forward to hearing the voices of church past. our first church father is the great Saint Athanasius the defend of the trinity and Christ divinity at a time it was most unpopular to do so.

The sermon is about the sinner vs the pharisee. and how we can with the Spirit see the difference between good works from false works. 

Martin preaches from luke to remind us to hear the gospel now and to give the gospel now because the end could come tomorrow! ANd what lessons we can learn from the hardness of heart the people of Israel. And to not take the promises of God for granted. 

Justification by faith alone!!!! that is the main thrust of this sermon. In addition Martin deals with how to understand the works that follow faith. This is one of my favorite sermons of Luther's.

Today Luther talks about false prophets and false teachers and how to recognize them.  the text in which he is speaking on is Matt 7:15-23

Well we have a short letter of a voice from church past letting others know that the fight to save his life is something he wishes them to cease. He is courageous in looking forward to his death for his faith in Christ. Its very interesting look at how the church has dealt with persecution in the past perhaps to give us a window should it come again to the modern church.

a different explanation of the two kingdoms.

The final section of this work of St basil's. Hope you enjoyed this work and I hope you will join me on the next work from a voice from church past!

martin addresses the severity of the law and the proper distinction between law and gospel.

and we are back to Luther... 

We are winding down St. Basil's argument in defense of The trinity and The Holy Spirit. Today he makes an extended argument using grammar.

today St Basil finishes up the flow of his current argument before moving onto an extended additional argument for the divinity of The Holy Spirit and the Trinity.

well today is the first day with an upgrade in production still some tweaks for sure to be made, hope you enjoy this episode now that my poor production is out of the way.
