Episode Details

With renewed vigor, the men of 3GT re-engage the topic of the extent of the atonement (with Austin defending the universal side of particular atonement, Kyle a limited view of particular atonement).  Barry plays the role of referee, calling fouls and low blows. In the second segment, we talk about Austin’s recent moving adventure to Pensacola.  Lastly, Barry raises the subject of variation in the body of Christ, drawing attention to Martin Bucer’s work Concerning the True Care of Souls.  [But actually, that isn’t quite the end.  A brief moment of violence might just burst out at the end-end]
