, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I was said to be part of the “PWC crowd” in a statement this morning by a young social media type guy, so we looked at what the PWC is, a bit about R.R. Reno, stuff like that, then switched over to Jeremiah chapter ten and some great jewels provided in God’s glorious Scriptures.

A Blast from the Past, Marian Devotion, the Book of Abraham

, , Debate, Mormonism, Personal, Resources, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line

A listener sent in the printed schedule of my events from my trip to New York in April of 1998, which I read through as evidence of the fact that Chris Arnzen tried to kill me back then! After a bit of that we looked at some Marian devotion issues relating to the gospel, and then focused in on the

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

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!

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

Rich Saves France; Injustice in America; Eastern Orthodoxy’s Anthropology; Two Responses to Dan McClellan

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Went more than 90 minutes today, mainly looking at first at the amazing corruption of the justice system in America and how it flows from the rejection of our Christian heritage and the embracing of secularism. Then we played a 60 second video from an Eastern Orthodox priest denying penal, substitutionary atonement. Then we finished up our response to Dan

KJV Only Abuse of Numerology, Dan McClellan on NT Manuscripts

, , CBGM, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Had a bunch of other stuff I didn’t get to, but did manage to look at an excellent example of how KJVOism destroys real confidence in the Bible by looking at an example provided by Pastor Jonathan Burris (here) regarding the abuse of Deuteronomy 16:11 by one such KJVO advocate. Then we moved over to this video from Dan McClellan,

The Changing World of Mormonism, A Few Tweets, 90 Minutes

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Mormonism, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent most of the first hour dealing with the changing world of Mormonism in light of comments from the “Ward Radio Show” and the idea of “religious bigotry” in not accepting Mormonism and its plurality of Gods as a Christian church. Looked at a chart about global fertility rates and what the future might hold in light of the collapse

A Twitter Theology Dividing Line

, , Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Wrapping up our home stand before I head out next week with a pretty high energy program running through topics brought up on social media. We looked at how Francis is going to update his 2015 encyclical on the environment soon and asked, “If he can’t see the scam of climate change, how can he have much insight at all?”

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

, , Jehovah's Witnesses, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off showing my newly “dyed” Bible texts, following the process laid out by Jeffery Rice in this video, and then took calls on Rushdooney, Alma Allred (Mormonism), recognizing novel and soon to be abandoned ideas in theology, wokeness in the Assemblies of God, and dealing with Jehovah’s Witnesses on the eternality of Jesus. Also, we had one Modalistic caller

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

Took a few minutes to look at the new Obscurity of Scripture book and its two references to me, which led to a discussion of Jason Stellman, and then on to the document Indulgentiarum Doctrina. Finished up the program with a warning about legislation being introduced in California, Washington, and Minnesota, giving the State the power to take away your

Sam Gipp Versus the KJV Translators, Mormonism Review Including the Book of Abraham

, , King James Onlyism, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Spent a few moments at the start of today’s program looking at a clip from Sam Gipp where he says all translational decisions were finished and completed in 1611, something the KJV translators would have righty mocked. Then we dove into Isaiah and Jeremiah for key texts to present to Mormons, then took a brief look at the Book of

Why You Can’t Have a Gas Stove, Then Mormonism 101—Part 1

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

First half hour is on how the Regime’s attempt to get rid of gas ovens is, in reality, connected to everything else, including the insanity of thinking four year olds can “choose” their gender. Then we moved into Mormonism and, I will be honest, I just could not stop telling stories from all our thousands of hours of encounters with

Mormonism’s Capitulation, Open Phones with Great Calls

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

We started off with the Senate’s consideration of the evil “Respect for Marriage Act,” which, of course, is the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and how the LDS leadership in Salt Lake City capitulated on basic Christian belief on the matter by favoring the passage of the bill. Then we took great calls on what it is to be Reformed, the

The I Am Sayings of Jesus as an Example of Exegesis and Hermeneutics

, , Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Today we did a Road Trip DL in the rain up here in Colorado, focusing upon the I Am sayings of Jesus and using them as an example of what believing, exegesis looks like in contrast with modern methods, or the supposedly superior “pre-modern” method seen in Scholasticism, etc. Tomorrow we will be doing on “Open Zoom” program with your

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Mormonism, Offense, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Since I am in Cedar City, Utah, I started off the program with a discussion of the decline of Mormonism, its reasons, and how we need to be praying to be used of God to bring light to the darkness. Then I had to dive into some of the amazing things being claimed, asserted, and just plain lied about regarding

Roadtrip DL from Salt Lake City: Jackson-Brown and the Culture of Death

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Never dreamed in the early 1980s I would someday be doing a live “webcast” (of all things!) from Salt Lake City, but here we are! Discussed the Jackson-Brown issue in light of the Christian worldview and many other related issues. Also listened to Brandan Robertson twist John 11 into a homosexual-affirming pretzel.

Christian vs. Mormon Debate Review

, , Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I was joined in studio by Daniel Constantino and Oscar Dunlap to discuss their debate with two LDS representatives a few weeks ago at Apologia Church. Goodness, how Mormonism has changed! Almost 90 minutes of discussion, even though I was not able to play much of the debate due to a technical problem with how my computer was connected to

ECM of Mark, Mormons Hide in Basements, Gregory on the Spirit

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

The ECM volumes of Mark arrived ten minutes before the program started, so that sort of distracted me, so I spent some time talking textual issues, CBGM, etc., before moving to the Mormons and their fear of Covid. Talked a bit about the overwhelming flood of negative information and how we need to protect our joy from the corrosive influence

Pope Francis’ Inclusivism, Mormonism’s Prophets and Priests

, , Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent some necessary time looking at “the Pope Video I,” Francis’ recent video promoting a kind of squishy ecumenical message that while consistent with some trajectories from Vatican II is certainly not consistent with historic Roman Catholic theology. Then we looked at some questions regarding Mormonism, focusing on the idea of the priesthood and the concept of prophets. Mentioned a

Started off with two videos and a little report from the weekend (including my having the awesome honor of baptizing two of my granddaughters, Kadence and Clementine). Then I showed off my new Jeffrey Rice/PTL LXX set and talked about this coming Sunday’s sermon at Apologia on compatibilism. Eventually we made it around to the subject of Mormonism and modifications

Covered a lot of topics including Don Lemon’s comments from 2013 (and how I said the exact same thing in 2016), as well as his “Jesus wasn’t perfect” comments from yesterday. Looked at a new X-Ray map of the universe, and finished up looking at the future of Mormonism.
