Since the inception of The Postscript, we have been meeting with Pastor Greg Axe, Church History instructor at the Living Faith Bible Institute, to discuss just that, the history of the church and God's work in the world through his people.

The last few times we met, we chatted about Europe during the Reformation and then the Counter-Reformation. We've discussed quite a cast of characters over the last few episodes: Henry the Eighth, Edward the Sixth, Bloody Mary, Queen Elizabeth, but today we want to discuss King James, King of England and Scotland at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century.

King James was undoubtedly a flawed man. His legacy as king is marked by peace, unity and general prosperity, as well as the sins of an unrighteous man. Even greater than these strengths and also his weaknesses, was God's determination to accomplish an incomprehensible work, a translation of the Bible that would ultimately change the whole world.

This week we are sitting down with Hutson Smelley, author of “Deconstructing Calvinism: A Biblical Analysis and Refutation”. Not only is he is a seasoned student of God’s word but he is also a practicing lawyer, mathematician, teaching elder in his local church, husband and father of seven. Today we walk through Romans chapter 9 and show why it does not say what many reformed theologians argue it says.

Pastor Justin Trotter of Callie Harbin Baptist Church in Villa Rica, GA joins us to discuss his father Mark Trotter’s book “The Keys of Bible Study: Unlocking Scripture in an Age of Forgotten Truth.”

We focus the conversation on “the key of David” found in Revelation 3:7 and referenced in Isaiah 22:22. Justin explains why his father wrote the book The Keys of Bible Study and what the dangers are to not applying the Bible with a heart of love and reverence for the God of the Bible. In an age of welcoming multiple interpretations as valid, Justin explains why it is that we cannot afford to study God’s book sloppily.

Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism for Texas Baptists and professor of Soteriology at Trinity Theological Seminary joins us to discuss the topic of Calvinism. He shares his personal testimony of salvation and his journey to undo the Calvinist theology he once held.

In this episode, Leighton lays the foundation of why it is important to counter deterministic theologies in the Church, briefly showing us historical roots and examples of redefinitions in biblical vocabulary to fit the Calvinist worldview.
