The Bible Sojourner

Why is infant baptism a key part of some churches but not others? In this video we look at four arguments for infant baptism put forward by those who hold to covenant theology. These reasons are portrayed in an article written by Zachary Garris: (1) The children of believers were members of the Abrahamic covenant; (2) The new covenant is a renewal of the Abrahamic covenant; (3) Baptism replaced circumcision as the sign of the covenant; and (4) Children born to Christian parents are members of the new covenant. Reformed theologians often will use a form of these arguments in arguing for infant baptism so we evaluate their strength. 00:00 Introduction 05:42 Begin Review of Article by Zachary Garris 16:02 Children of Believers were Members of the Abrahamic Covenant 24:18 The New Covenant is a Renewal of the Abrahamic Covenant 44:00 Baptism Replaced Circumcision as the Sign of the Covenant 01:00:16 Children born to Christian Parents are Members of the New Covenant 01:11:20 Conclusion Article by Zachary Garris reviewed in the video: https://knowingscripture.com/articles/why-we-should-baptize-babies-the-case-for-covenantal-infant-baptism Waymeyer Article referenced: https://tms.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/TMSJ-Volume-29-Number-2.pdf Gavin Ortlund article referenced: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/article/why-not-grandchildren-an-argument-against-reformed-paedobaptism/ Link to Peter's book, The Baptism Debate: Understanding and Evaluating Reformed Infant Baptism If you have found the podcast helpful, consider ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leaving a review on Itunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rating it on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Everyone has heard about servant leadership, but is it biblical? In today's episode, Peter Goeman critiques an article by Bnonn Tennant who argues that servant leadership is an unbiblical idea and destroys true masculine leadership. Peter discusses masculinity, gender roles, and why servant leadership is an important part of the Christian life.

In this exciting episode, join Peter Goeman as he welcomes Mark Ward, a gifted NT scholar who works for Faithlife and Logos. They delve deep into the intriguing discrepancies found among key Bible translations regarding Deuteronomy 32:8. Discover the interesting evidence translators consider and the likely interpretation of this text. Dive into an engaging discussion about the influence of the Septuagint (the Greek Translation of the Old Testament) and the Masoretic Text (the principal Hebrew Text) on modern English translations. Understand how these texts shape our understanding of biblical history and theology. Moreover, Peter and Mark explore the critical question: How should we integrate the teachings of Deuteronomy 32:8 into our theological framework? This conversation is not just about translation—it's about understanding the essence of biblical teachings.For more on Mark Ward: Mark Ward on Youtube Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible If you have found the podcast helpful, consider ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leaving a review on Itunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rating it on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this digital era, we enjoy unparalleled access to information. Increasingly, Christians are leveraging YouTube and podcasts as tools for growth and education. While this represents an extraordinary opportunity, it's not without its pitfalls for church communities. Many pastors and church leaders express concern over unique challenges they face in this information-saturated age. In this episode, I aim to spark a dialogue about the role of podcasts in Christian learning. It's vital to understand how these resources can complement, not substitute, the invaluable guidance of the godly church leaders God has placed in our lives.

What is the relationship between the Old and New Testament? Should Christians hold to New Testament priority? These are important questions as they relate to the field of hermeneutics and Bible reading. In this episode we discuss an article by Tom Hicks promoting the idea of New Testament priority.

In this episode of The Bible Sojourner, we discuss the cultural revolution and how we should think about those who are a part of the LGBT community. The conversation includes what cultural phenomena have led to the point where we have abandoned traditional sexual morality, and how LGBT folk view their sexual identity.

In this episode, we explore what the Bible has to say about self discipline and self control. The Bible says a lot about the need to be disciplined, and it is an unfortunate reality that Christians often neglect the Bible's emphasis in this area. The first half of the video talks about the need for self discipline, and the second half talks about practical steps in how to grow in self discipline.

Matt Waymeyer joins us again to talk about the disputed text of Revelation 20. We talk about whether Satan is currently bound, or if Revelation 20 is speaking of a future event. We also talk about the resurrections and whether those should be viewed as physical resurrections or if one can be spiritual. Finally we talk about whether we should expect the multiple mentions of 1000 years in Revelation 20 to be symbolic or whether we should expect Jesus to come back and reign for a 1000 years. A great discussion on eschatology and how we should understand Revelation 20. Matt's article on the binding of Satan.

Jeff Durbin has identified the Church as the True Israel of God, and has stated that it is not possible for the nation of Israel to be considered God’s chosen people. According to Durbin, it is insulting that Christians would think Israel is God's chosen people, and the Bible does not call them that. We review the Apologia Studios episode on Israel and the chosen people of God, asking whether their statements is a fair representation of what Scripture has to say about Israel and the Church.

In this episode, Peter Goeman and Doug Bookman join forces (again) to analyze dispensationalism and identify the key component of the system. This is a part two episode (see Ep 155 for part one) of a general review of Al Mohler's interview of Daniel Hummel, concerning his book, "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism." However, this episode is not a response to the interview as much as a positive overview of what dispensationalism actually is. There is a lot of confusion about what it is that makes or breaks dispensationalism. Bookman and Goeman propose that dispensationalism is identifiable primarily as a way of reading the Bible, not just a system of beliefs.

In this episode, Peter Goeman and Doug Bookman team up to review Al Mohler's interview of Daniel Hummel, concerning his book, "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism." Goeman and Bookman assess the interview and discuss the kinds of objections that are often brought up against dispensationalism as a system. Topics covered: whether dispensationalism is a valid way of interpreting the Bible, whether dispensationalism originated with Darby, whether dispensationalism is too complicated, and whether it is significant that dispensationalism is waning in the academy.

In 1 Samuel 13:14 the Bible says that David was a man after God's own heart. But what does the phrase, "a man after His heart" mean? Normally people assume it means that David had a heart that was the same as God's heart. However, if that is true, how could David have commited adultery and murder? In this episode we explore an alternative (and more likely) meaning of what it means that David was a man after God's own heart.

Many people struggle to understand why the Law was given to Israel because they do not seek to understand the Law as part of the story of God interacting with Israel. It can be helpful to look at Old Testament Law systematically, but it is also essential to understand Old Testament Law as a part of narrative and story. The Law was not given in a vacuum, but is an essential part of Israel's history. Understanding the when, to whom, and why of the Law gives us insight into how the law functions.
