Is Classical Theism BIBLICAL? Starting the Conversation! Gulfside Ministries 2025-07-17 | In this series, Tim Nichols is back (after our extensive discussion on Hebrews) to talk Classical Theism -- the theological system that holds that God is radically simple, immutable, impassible, and atemporal. In this introductory video, Chris begins to set the table with definitions of basic terminology, a simple motivation for why we should be classical theists in the first place, and a discussion on the importance of taking the biblical text seriously -- rather than writing off much of the biblical language that describes God as merely anthropomorphic and anthropopathic.Chapter times:0:00 - Introduction2:10 - Use and Abuse of Philosophy in Theology and Exegesis6:35 - Necessity of Philosophy in Exegesis7:57 - Why Philosophy Must Be Subservient to Scripture14:55 - The Open Theism "Boogeyman"16:45 - On Doing Exegesis First (and Asking What Follows)21:15 - Can CT Be Consistent with Scripture?25:20 - One Implication of CT: Theism at Stake30:30 - Taking Language Seriously35:05 - CT, Language, and Mary as the Mother of God39:55 - Taking Implications from Biblical Doctrine Seriously44:05 - Concluding Thoughts, Future Discussions-----------------------------------Moderation policy: We try to approve all comments, even those that disagree with our arguments, as I think that spurs honest discussion.

Is Yahweh the Same as Allah? Considerations for Building Better Arguments Gulfside Ministries 2025-07-12 | In this video, I respond to a few arguments put forward by Warren McGrew (@IdolKiller) that try to show that Christians and Muslims do NOT worship the same God. I try to show that the arguments have several logical flaws, make several questionable assumptions, and lack clarity on some essential notions from the philosophy of language concerning reference.I am NOT arguing that Muslims and Christians do worship the same God. I am arguing for better arguments. I plan on making a video in the near future explaining my own views. In the meantime, be sure to check out McGrew's video in which he presents these arguments here (time stamp included):youtube.com/live/xfe6pPbuJG8?si=4kXgt6s4Ogqpjeo0&t=2302In the video, I also recommend an argument by Dr. Christopher Cloose of Christian Philosophy Academy.

Gulfside Ministries 2025-02-21 | In this video, I respond to an argument by Israel Trujillo made during his debate with Drew Mack of @ProvisionistPerspective in a debate on @StandingForTruthMinistries's channel on whether determinism is biblical.

Exploring LOTUS: Part 5 - Security of the Saints Gulfside Ministries 2024-11-07 | In this series, we interview Daniel Weierbach of @C4CApologetics to discuss the soteriological acronym he developed -- LOTUS -- to explain free grace soteriology. If you have found TULIP's philosophical rigidity and tendency toward determinism unsatisfying, but are equally unpersuaded by Arminian arguments, LOTUS might be what you've been looking for.This video discusses the S, the Security of the Saints.

Is the Free Grace Gospel Found in the Synoptic Gospels? An Interview with Vince Russo Gulfside Ministries 2024-03-28 | In today's interview, we get to talk with Vince Russo about what it means for Jesus to be "the Christ, the Son of God" in the Synoptic Gospels and why this is so important for a free grace soteriology. Free grace tends to spend a lot of time (for good reason!) on the Gospel of John. But what, if anything, does the Synoptics contribute to our understanding of the gospel?About Vince: Vince, originally from Naples, Italy, holds a Master's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Naples "Federico II" and is currently pursuing an MA in Biblical Theology with the University of Chester, through King’s Evangelical Divinity School. After spending several years in the UK, he returned to Italy in 2021 and now lives in the Tuscan countryside near Florence, with his wife and three children.Following his conversion, Vince started the Italian blog pergrazia.com, focusing on the simplicity and free grace of the gospel. This initiative has since grown into a family ministry named Per Grazia. Their activities include the blog, a YouTube channel, book translations, and serving God in their local church in Italy.More from Vince:Vince's Blog Article: "Eternal life in the Gospels: The power of faith in Jesus, Messiah, Son of God" neminis.org/2023/06/11/eternal-life-in-the-gospels-the-power-of-faith-in-jesus-messiah-son-of-godItalian blog: pergrazia.comYouTube channel: youtube.com/@pergrazia-----------------------------------Moderation policy: We try to approve all comments, even those that disagree with our arguments, as I think that spurs honest discussion.

Hebrews 6:13-7:19 - Our Hope Behind the Veil Gulfside Ministries 2024-03-26 | This is our eighth video in our study with Tim Nichols on the book of Hebrews. We study Hebrews 6:13-7:19, focusing on Jesus as a priest after the order of Melchizedek, with special reference to what that means for believers today. One emphasis turns out to be the necessity of a change in the Law, and by extension, the impotence of the Law to either save or sanctify the Body of Christ.Link to full playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqLkMt5aIuoqYdXxCrUqV81eJX6-QMNkdChapter times:0:00 - Introduction0:55 - Chapter 6, Verses 13-155:05 - Verses 16-1810:20 - Verses 19-2012:25 - The Structure of the Tabernacle17:00 - Return to Verses 19-2023:58 - Chapter 7, Verses 1-328:32 - Verses 4-1035:28 - Verses 11-1339:00 - Verses 14-1743:45 - Verses 18-1947:18 - Conclusion and pastoral application-----------------------------------Moderation policy: We try to approve all comments, even those that disagree with our arguments, as I think that spurs honest discussion.
