, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Offense, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

After a few minutes of the inevitable talk about being on the road, going through a McDonald’s drive-thru looking for Donald Trump, and the current election situation, I commented on the Steven Anderson saga, and then spent the rest of the program talking about the claims Ammon Hillman made in the full 3.5 hour interview from which the short snippet

Road Trip DL: Even-Ezers, Long-term Thinking, True Christian Examples of Heroism and Faith

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First stop on my trip to Alabama. Covered how we need to think long-term to be faithful and thankful, and then talked about how Hebrews moves from deep theology to the practical application in the Christian life, and how the Heroes of Faith chapter (11) provides us with the kind of examples we should emulate today.

Memorizing Scripture and Various Other Topics

, , Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m doing three programs today, one up in Canada, then the DL, and then Marlon Wilson’s show on YouTube. Hope the voice holds out! Talked about memorizing Scripture in my youth, the value of paper Bibles, the value of a Christian home. Then talked a bit about the craziness in our political scene right now, then talked a bit about

Mishnah, Talmud, and the Ugly Rise of Side-B Nazism in 2024

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Islam, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Didn’t pull any punches today, folks. When the Nazis come after you it is time to shoot straight in return. Took on some nasty players today, but had to provide background information on, for example, the origination of the Mishnah, Gemara, and Talmud, etc. Hopefully useful to everyone, and a warning for those trying to “sneak in” to the church

Rome’s Trajectory, Response to Division and Debate Amongst the “Reformed”

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Misc, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a bit on the election, then tied this into the current developments in Rome with Francis making sure his legacy will continue to shift the direction of the Roman Church. Then addressed Joel Webbon’s recent webcast about the now infamous Holocaust meme, and related issues amongst the “Reformed” (that term is just about to collapse due to

Jew Hatred, Sacralism, and Crashing the Net by Mentioning Leighton Flowers

, , Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Had another net issue today, but got everything recorded anyway. Talked a bit about the old “Jews are behind everything” stuff, looked at an example of sacralism in the martyrdom of a young baptist man by Reformed authorities, and then spent just a few minutes looking at a comment from Leighton Flowers.

Christian Worldview Formation and Maintenance in 2024, then, Me and Stephen Wolfe

, , Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

It’s been quite the day today (dock workers strike, stock market, Iran attacking Israel), so I pondered a bit about the flood of information that comes at us, now instantly, and how that was not the case only a few decades ago. We talked about the need to form, and practice, a Christian worldview in these very challenging times. Then

Romans 3, Steve Lawson Issues, Pietism, Anabaptism, Sacralism

, , Baptism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eschatology, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Three sections to the program today. The first topic was a discussion on Romans 3 and its testimony to human sinfulness. The second was a relatively brief commentary on new developments in the Steve Lawson saga. The last was a discussion of the terms pietism, Anabaptism, and sacralism, prompted by a recent webcast that identified me as a pietist and

A Sad Survey, the Changing World of Mormonism, the Changing World of Francis

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I was running the program alone today and forgot to get the music ready, so…not overly professional today! But, spent the first half hour on the survey that showed a huge percentage of young women voters whose primary concern is their ability to kill babies, and why this horrific reality is present in the West today. There is much to

A Few Comments on the Lawson Issue, Then More Than an Hour in Response to Sam Costner

, , Church History, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Couldn’t avoid a few brief comments on the Steve Lawson issue that came to light today at the start of the program. Then I read through an eleven tweet thread written by Samuel Costner back on 8/31 regarding the Crusaders and my supposedly abandoning the younger generation by refusing to go along with the lionization of these Roman Catholic military

The Widening of God’s Mercy: New Pro-LGBTQ Book, and Comments by Pope Francis

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

A new book has been released by the father/son team of Richard and Christopher Hays titled The Widening of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story. I hate to be the spoiler, but the thesis is, God changes His mind and His will, so it’s OK to ignore what the Bible used to say about same-sex relationships, God’s intention in

“Projection” in Argumentation, A Marian Spectacle, Connection to the Crusades

, , Church History, General Apologetics, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent a little time at the start talking about the use of “projection” as an invalid means of argumentation, and then showed a video of a Marian procession from Spain and talked about the relevance to the gospel to such scenes. Then made connection to the recent Crusader controversy.

The Wisdom of the World, Then Two Important LDS Issues

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Did an early show today (but still had a large live audience for some reason!) and mainly covered two topics: first, a blog article Phil Johnson wrote 15 years ago that Stephen Wolfe identified as “moronic,” and then two LDS topics that illustrate just how much the Mormon Church has changed over the past forty years. Enjoy!

A Slightly Abbreviated DL Today: So How DO You Define the Reformation?

, , Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I explained at the start of the program that things had developed that required me to shorten the program and rush off a bit…to get my new (first time) hearing aids! Wow, did you know that the keys on a keyboard make little clicky sounds when you press on them? Who knew? I was pretty surprised they could do it

Jason Lisle for 45 Minutes, About All that Crusading Stuff

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with our dear brother Jason Lisle discussing his new paper on cosmology and its very, very important implications (both Rich and I struggled to keep up, but, that’s just the nature of the information!). Here is the article at Jason’s website. Then I just calmly went back over the key issues that have arisen over the past week

Why I Will Still Vote Against the Marxists, and Why the Crusades Were Still a Mockery of the Cross and the Gospel

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Two topics today. First forty minutes on my thoughts on the upcoming election and how, if the Marxists are victorious (and that may be a foregone conclusion), it could be the last even pretend election in our lifetimes, and how this should, in my opinion, impact those who have decided that not voting is their best choice. Then, in the

Rome and Mary: the Sad Reality

, , Abortion, Church Fathers, Church History, Misc, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After running our raffle and determining the winner of the wonderful Derek Melton blade, and after I spent some time talking about a neat and encouraging gift from a young man at Apologia, we turned to Roman Catholicism, Pope Francis, and the entire complex of Marian doctrines that are so utterly destructive to the gospel and to Christian experience. We

Being Consistently Reformed, Talking With Muslims

, , Baptism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, Personal, The Dividing Line

Covered a lot of ground today. Started off mentioning this video on Eastern Orthodoxy, as well as this video on the communist infiltration of the West. Then we revisited how Reformed men should approach any topic, but in particular, the topic of the New Covenant, baptism, etc., in light of further comments made on last week’s debate with Jared Longshore.

Final Road Trip Program for This Trip

, , Baptism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Eschatology, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Unusual Saturday program, but travel is that way. Thanked the local churches I ministered in on this trip, then talked a bit about Wednesday’s debate with Jared Longshore, and then finished up with a response to a denial of the imputation of the active and passive obedience of Christ in justification, along with providing a refutation of how that denial

Road Trip DL: Responding to Eric Conn and Andrew Torba

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Mainly worked through the exchanges on line between myself and Eric Conn (Ogden) and Andrew Torba (GAB) on issues related to ethnicity, etc., though I started out looking at the utter collapse of the UK into Orwellian dystopia, and that right before our eyes. It is truly amazing.

Road Trip DL: Asking Some Questions of Eric Conn, Reviewing the Debate with Tim Barber

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A stormy weather DL from Golden, Colorado. Talked about some of the goings on in culture once again, then asked some questions of Eric Conn (hoping for helpful answers!), and finally toward the end looked at some issues regarding the debate with Tim Barber and my insistence that in the future my debate opponents not rely upon pre-written rebuttals and

Road Trip DL: Responding to the Backlash on Mocking the Holocaust, Plus a Little Olympics Commentary

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Had to spend 3/4 of the program responding to the amazing outpouring of, well, error and conspiracy and disrespect and nastiness on social media following the previous Dividing Line and my relatively short discussion on the meme mocking the Holocaust. Folks, there are serious, serious problems under the surface in a lot of Reformed churches. Beware! Keep an eye out!

Another Road Trip DL from Colorado

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

Started off with details about my upcoming debate with Tim Barber here in Colorado (Open Theism), the conference the next day, preaching on Sunday, and next week’s debate with Jared Longshore. Then had to discuss the degradation of the US’s political system, the obvious (and welcomed by the Marxists) foreign interference, etc. Also discussed a priest’s comments on mortal sin,

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Started off with all the amazing developments since just last week in Western culture and in the US elections. Addressed the theory that the entire NT was originally written in Hebrew. Then started taking some great Twitter questions once again on a variety of topics. Headed to Colorado Springs tomorrow, should be doing another program on Thursday.

Twitter-Driven DL from Dolores, Colorado

, , Ken Wilson, Misc, Mormonism, Open Phones, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

I am thankful that Twitter was not taken down by today’s huge IT crash/failure, since we took our questions from our audience, and they were great questions! We will definitely have to do it this way in the future when I am traveling (much less technically challenging than trying to take calls when I am remote). Covered a wide variety

Road Trip Dividing Line: No, Seriously, STOP IT

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

More craziness today with people now going to Leviticus 8:23 and the placing of blood from the sacrifice of the ram on the right earlobe of Aaron, connecting this to Trump getting shot in the right ear. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s truly cultic, and we discussed it, along with other developments in the assassination attempt, Biden’s sudden

Road Trip Dividing Line

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Did a program from my location in northern AZ and Starlink worked great for us today! Very pleased with that to be sure. Covered developments in the Republican Party (abandoning a biblical view of marriage and softening their position on abortion), the attempted assassination of Trump, the wild and crazy stuff being said about Mary saving Trump, or Ephesians 6:11,
