Your Systematic Theology Framework Might Be Distorting Scripture...Here’s Why
Soteriology 101 w/ Dr. Leighton Flowers
teaching
January 28, 2026
Are you reading the Bible… or reading your system into the Bible?
In this eye-opening discussion, Dr. Adam Harwood explains how many Christians unknowingly approach Scripture with a preloaded definition of predestination and election—usually inherited from systematic theology textbooks. When that happens, we don’t discover what the Bible says… we import what we’ve already been taught.
This clip breaks down:
• Why predestination in Scripture rarely matches theological definitions
• How systematic frameworks create interpretive “loops”
• Why believers of all traditions can agree on the Bible’s own language about salvation
• How exegesis must come before theological systems
• Why Calvinism often seems “everywhere” once the system is learned
• Why election, predestination, and salvation must be understood biblically—not presuppositionally
If you want to understand these doctrines from the text itself, this conversation will change the way you read the Bible.
