Stephen Nichols: Books from the Life of R.C. Sproul

[@thedogbarber]

I really do wish Ligonier would make Dr. Sproul's Moby Dick Thesis available online. I would love to read it.

[@HearGodsWord]

Given how many times I've heard it referenced you'd think they would do.

Just starting this video, but before I forget: Learning very recently that he loved Moby Dick is what finally convinced me to give it yet another try. I first wanted to read it because of the X-Files TV show connection. Then, through the years, I heard it had theological themes/significance. Then I discovered Booktube and, of course, it's listed among the classics. I did try it several times. It defeated me over and over, until it finally became a bit of an obsession to conquer it before I die - which is fitting, given the story! The other day I bought a small copy. It's great because it's tiny, yet readable. I wish I had a Bible in this format! It has made it easy to take with me the past few days. Believe it or not, I'm a few chapters in and actually enjoying it this time. I'm taking it very slowly, just one chapter at a time.

Love this. Well done, Dr. Nichols. Well done. This is really bringing me back to Bible study and discipline. What an inspiration.

Thank you Dr. Nichols for taking this time with us and providing a deeper insight into Dr. R.C. Sproul and the foundations of His personal study as a student and teacher.

Hey brother good to see you, hope your summer is going well!

[@FullLifeFrank]

@@SpanishPuritan1689 Hey brother! Good to see you as well, thank you it's been great thus far. Hope you're enjoying the break!

[@jackcarr7060]

Thank you! What a delightful treat this is 😊

[@TheologyMukbang]

This is, personally my favorite youtube video of all time!

[@randylane7119]

You mentioned, Steve, both John Gerstner and rational theology as vital subjects for RC. Any chance Ligonier will republish Gerstner's massive study The Rational Theology of Jonathon Edward soon?

[@Peaea]

Yesss please... same request here.

[@sierragrey7910]

Thank you for an incredible insight.

[@TheologyMukbang]

This is awesome! Thank you for putting this together and posting it!

[@paul8914]

Thank you for this lecture. Keep them coming please!

[@Paul-Neil]

Inspiring. Thank you

[@jayclatworthy3100]

Thank you!

[@Yesica1993]

Do they ever offer tours of this library? I would never want to leave! They'd have to drag me out of there. "Wait! Please, just 5 more minutes!" EDIT: Oh, I guess it's possible? That would be a dream come true! Also, my brain can't computer that his name was Robert, much less "Bob."

[@clemensfruh9289]

Thats great, although I would've thought that you would show more different books he read and studied as sort of recommendation. Thank you Steve and blessings from france where I watch this video in holidays (I am from germany).

[@pasoleati07]

What is the music at the beginning? Is it from Dr. Sproul's "Glory to the Holy One?"

[@oommenajit]

WITHOUT EXCUSE For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 Judge: Why did you remain in unbelief ? Reprobate : I was born hated and rejected by my God, who sealed me in unbelief from the time I was born till the time I died because of the sin of another. Can you think of a better excuse than that ? Thanks Calvin 💐

It's puzzling how such brilliant theological minds who has explained and understood that God is a Holy God; yet they make such theologial blunder by saying God has predestined them in Christ and we are born in sin at the same time. IF THE CHURCH DOCTRINE that innocent little babies are born in sin; then God cannot be a Holy God. Because for God to predestined people in Christ; and born in sin at the same time; these two doctrines are hostile and irreconcilable.

[@theselittlepigsstayedhome]

You need to read the entire chapter of Romans 8...

[@theselittlepigsstayedhome]

“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:29-30‬ ‭

[@theselittlepigsstayedhome]

We were all born into sin. Born sinners. If we somehow could stop our own sin or become not sinful, why would we need Christ to die on the cross if we could some how do it ourselves?

[@theselittlepigsstayedhome]

“However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:9-10‬ ‭

[@theselittlepigsstayedhome]

“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:8-10‬
