    Dr. Paulson discusses the difference between free will and dominion over creation. Here, the conversation turns to Genesis, but it demonstrates how Luther explained that Adam and Eve were not exercising free will but rather utilizing the gift of dominion over creation.

    Imagine The World Before The Fall
    2025/05/28

    Dr. Paulson continues to analyze the appeal Erasmus makes to Sirach in chapter 15. Here, Erasmus speculates, creating an internally consistent logic about free will, creation, and sin. Though his speculation may be consistent, Luther aptly demonstrates how Scripture does not support it.

  • Where There Is Law There Is Free Will

    Where There Is Law There Is Free Will
    2025/05/22

    This week, Dr. Paulson outlines Erasmus' bold claim that the existence of the law necessitates human free will. Erasmus begins to argue against the clarity of Scripture and advocates for looking at Sirach chapter 15 to examine the relationship between the law and free will. Paulson demonstrates how Luther used the Scriptures to prove this theory wrong.

  • There Is No Sin Where There Is No Law

    There Is No Sin Where There Is No Law
    2025/05/15

    This episode begins an examination of the Apostle Paul's proclamation that where there is no law, there is no sin. From here, Dr. Paulson will examine Erasmus and Luther as they consider what it means to be free and what, if any, glimpse can be gathered from looking back to Eden.

  • Chaos and Silencing the Law

    Chaos and Silencing the Law
    2025/05/06

    Dr. Paulson continues to characterize the dialogue between Luther and Erasmus. As Erasmus begins to grasp every possible need for free will, he finally arrives at an argument based on societal behavior. Erasmus knows Luther does not want society to be lawless and appeals to the law's ability to rein in chaos. Luther, of course, does not give in and continues his appeal to Scripture.

  • Psychologizing the Gospel

    Psychologizing the Gospel
    2025/04/30

    Is the Gospel just a feeling of relief? Steve Paulson addresses the difference between the internal need for relief from the law and the external reality of the Gospel. The Gospel is not an internal force but an external act proclaimed and done for you.

  • The External and Internal Distinction

    The External and Internal Distinction
    2025/04/24

    Paulson continues the conversation about the "spiritual man" who cannot be judged. But how do you know if you can claim such spirituality? The man who cannot be considered is not identified by internal revelation, thoughts, or theological musings. Instead, the fortification from judgment comes from the certainty of the external word of the Gospel preached.

  • Out of the Cave

    Out of the Cave
    2025/04/15

    God's word is not just a guide, making you desire to leave the cave and enter the world of real things. Dr. Paulson dives into how the construction of the Gospel as enabling guide confuses God's two words. Scripture is not just another Plato leading you out of the darkness but actually brings new life.
