How Lutherans View the Mosaic Law

Today's program was an eclectic one. I answered listener questions on a variety of topics. First, I answered a question regarding divine monergism and Luther's work The Bondage of the Will. I then spent the majority of the program discussing the validity of the Mosaic Law for Christians today. I discussed the threefold distinction of the Law and the connection between natural law and the Ten Commandments. Finally I got into a discussion about soteriology in the church fathers, dealing specifically with penance and legalism in the North African Church.

I recently was interviewed on the Confessing Baptist podcast alongside of Reformed Baptist pastor Jeffrey Johnson. We discussed the nature of baptism, its relationship to regeneration, and the assurance of salvation.
