Another Potpourri of Topics, Including the Future of Mormonism

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

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.

Catching Up on the Revolution

, , Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had a pile of articles to catch up with over the weekend since we did a Radio Free Geneva yesterday, including a BLM leader’s open promotion of black supremacy, Seattle’s anti-white rhetoric, and a Christian student kicked out of an allegedly Christian university for observing the obvious. Worldview issues abound as we face the open promotion of Marxist revolution in

Answering Questions from Friends

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did an hour and forty minutes today answering questions from two friends of mine—but you will find them to be useful questions! A great deal on the topics of how Christians are to respond to changing cultural situations and challenges, and then a solid hour or so on theodicy, God and the existence of evil. I did start off with

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent some time talking about 1 Corinthians 1:18 and what “being saved” means in like a KJVOist Nathan Rager’s NIV-tossing comments on the passage, discussed more about Marxism, and finished up looking at comments by Graeme Codrington on John Piper’s affirmation of God’s sovereignty over the CV-19 virus.

From Claire de Lune to Jonathan Merritt to Rome’s Dogmas About Mary

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Went an hour and 45 minutes today because we “covered the waterfront.” Talked about how Twitter is saying the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel is a dangerous website (could be a technical glitch, could be purposeful), and then discussed how we can have confidence that God’s truth abides with us today. Discussed Jonathan Merritt’s 1 minute video, looked

Update/Addition to Bostock Decision Commentary, BLM’s Marxist Abuse of Language, Qur’anic Verbs

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

I forgot to address the presuppositional worldview issue relating to the Bostock decision on Tuesday, so I wanted to touch upon that, and then we transitioned into the play on words that BLM is using to promote Marxism under the guise of a sentence that actually only makes sense within the Christian worldview anyway. Then transitioned into a discussion of

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started out with a discussion of the Supreme Court’s redefinition of “sex” from 1964 and the resultant degradation of morality and law in the United States. Then looked at the totalitarian movement of Black Lives Matter, and their promotion of transgenderism. Then we simply had to read through the thread of tweets posted by Thabiti Anyabwile wherein he states “Until

Revelation 6, Mohler and the Leftists, James Gets Canceled Again, JK Rowling

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Just an hour today but we crammed a lot in, including looking at a petition to get Albert Mohler fired for daring to say something negative about the Episcopalians (and for not repeating the necessary cultural mantras), Anthony Caputi is “done” with the Dividing Line, and JK Rowling takes on the transgender cabal.

All Lives Matter BECAUSE God is the Creator: Getting the Conversation Right

, , Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Well I imagine the woke folks will be lighting the torches and grabbing the pitchforks (if they can get out of the Autonomous Zone in Seattle anyway) but we just had to deal with the flood of cultural Marxism flowing into the veins of evangelical churches right now. Looked at JD Greear’s comments (hopefully fairly) as well as some others,

Living in Two Worlds, then, A Full Response to a Muslim “Revert”

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a few minutes discussing the reality that a lot of us are facing: how do you have any sense of “normal” anymore when the future looks to troubled, so difficult? Why even bother talking about theology during a revolution? Well, because Christians have done that for a very long time, actually. So, a few words of encouragement

Responding to the Charge of “Perceived Carelessness” and More on the Social Justice Revolution

, , Christian Worldview, Offense, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Read, and fully responded to, a rebuke from Christian brothers and sisters based upon an article (which I also read) about the need to do history seriously, without imposing lenses and filters that fundamentally distort it. Addressed a number of issues that came up over the weekend regarding the explosion of social justice revolution in the world, and its inconsistency

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off reading a comment from Dr. James Lindsay about Critical Race Theory and the concept of “reconciliation,” and followed up with some more discussion on the “woke church.” Then we took calls on such topics as detecting if your church is going down the “woke” path and when you would have to leave, where we have to draw the

A mega edition of the DL today, two full hours, covering tons of current events with the social justice revolutionaries both outside and inside the church for the first 1:10. Last 50 minutes focused on a tweet from Leighton Flowers saying Calvinism and Apologetics do not mix. We listened to and critiqued an on-line exchange on the topic of God’s

Supreme Court and Churches, Remember that Covid Stuff? Hyper-preterism Debate

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Meandered around a bit today touching on the fact that Rich is French, that “Parler” should probably be pronounced with the French pronunciation (and yes, I have joined Parler, @Eleutheros), that the Supreme Court declining to give an injunction in California, while disappointing, isn’t the end of the world, and some other stuff about the current melt-down in the US.

, , Exegesis, Islam, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

About half an hour before the program started I saw a question raised by Zakir Hussain, a Muslim apologist, so I spent the first half hour in Jude looking at the context and the manuscript evidence so as to answer the objection/question. Then we looked at the subject of “Deepfakes” and the law of God, focusing on cosmic justice, and

This will be my only program this week—don’t worry, we have a special guest filling in on Thursday (I have to head out of town quickly). So we went long, a full two hours. Covered a ton of topics from Pope Francis’ call for “believers of all religions” to join in asking God to “help us” with coronavirus, Dan Barker’s

Seven Topics on Today’s 1:45 Long Dividing Line

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

No, I wasn’t going for the perfect number, it just turned out that way.  But we looked at a video of a BYU professor talking about the removal of homosexuality from the honor code, and how this is related to one’s “testimony of the Brethren.” Fascinating days in Utah! Then we talked about Doug Wilson’s comments on the Christianity Today

Is the Trinity Essential? And Much More

Started off with a new Reasonable Faith video featuring William Lane Craig and the question “Is the Trinity Essential?” Half an hour on that one. Then we looked at Bart Ehrman’s claims about Jesus, heaven and hell, another half hour. Then we picked up a few topics, including Pete Buttigieg, a guy named Dave Barnhart, rapper Flame’s conversion to Lutheranism,

All the Dishes in the Kitchen Sink

, , Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The title for today’s program came from Rich. Blame him. Started off talking about the quotation I had posted on Facebook and all the guesses—none of which were right. The quotation was from Dr. Yasir Qadhi, so I fleshed that out as far as worldviews, evangelism, apologetics, etc. Then we discussed the wishful effort to “orthodoxicize” Martin Luther King’s views

Jonathan Merritt Uses Slavery as a Cover for Slander, then Bart Ehrman’s Ideal God

, , Atheism, General Apologetics, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Responded to the following slander from Jonathan Merritt, provided the context, etc., and discussed a great deal (nearly an hour) on slavery, historical contexts, Biblical interpretation, etc., and the fact that, basically, you just aren’t allowed to let the Bible speak for itself any longer. Then looked at Bart Ehrman’s 2017 Christmas thoughts with a focus upon the “God of

KJB Fundy Numerology, Flowers’ Unwanted Child, RNS Opinion Piece on Cone

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to get the silly stuff out of the way first, so we looked at Andrew Sluder’s “KJB Numerology” where he uses verse numbers and their position in the Bible to prove its inspiration. Then we got serious and read through a Soteriology 101 article and dealt with its man-centeredness. Finished off with an RNS opinion piece that alleged that

Thoughts on Thanksgiving, a Bit More Cone, Matt Hall and CRT

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Well Thanksgiving is coming up so we spent some time talking about thanks, contentment, etc., from a biblical perspective. Then we moved back to reading a bit from James Cone, made application to Talbert Swan, and then moved from there to an article recently posted from Dr. Matt Hall at SBTS regarding “racial reconciliation.” We asked some honest questions of

Difficult Days for Rome’s Apologists, the Words of James Cone, Unvarnished

, , Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a discussion of the quandary faced by Rome’s apologists today as they deal with the reality of an unorthodox Pope. Sort of makes their arguments against sola scriptura just a tad vacuous. Then we moved over to looking at the reality that men like Bishop Talbert Swan, who throw around accusations of racism and white supremacy with

Brief Thoughts on the Ehrman/Williams Dialogue and the Licona/Howe Dialogue, Then Open Phones

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

I guess inerrancy was the theme in looking at just a few portions of the discussion between Peter Williams and Bart Ehrman on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable program and then Mike Licona’s discussion with Richard Howe. After that we tried to sneak callers in for the last 15 minutes…and ended up going half an hour, so, 75 minutes total.

, , Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Started off with the outrageous, racist rants of “His Grace, the Right Reverend Bishop Talbert Wesley Swan II” (straight from his wikipedia page) and his swinging the club of “white supremacy” at anyone or anything, logic, rationality and truth notwithstanding. Then we considered the advice of the left edge of evangelicalism’s fall into the morass of cultural confusion, this time

, , CBGM, Hebrew Israelism, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

As was needed I responded to the slanderous misuse of a video clip by Eric Mason, author of Woke Church, for the first hour or so today, including the playing of the entire context from the July 26, 2016 Dividing Line from which he took his clip. A wide ranging discussion about the woke church, critical theory, identity politics, and

Go Home, Trans-Madness, Australia Report

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Decided to do a program about 15 hours after getting home from Australia, so I hope I made some sense! Seemed OK to me anyway! Talked about the explosion of egalitarianism in light of the “go home” controversy first, then moved on to developments in the transgender movement’s attempts to destroy any meaningful understanding of sexuality and gender. Eventually got

1 Peter 3:15 and then David and Bathsheba

, , CBGM, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Since I had travel problems yesterday I decided to sneak one more program in before I (Lord willing) fly out this afternoon. Talked a little about the textual variant at 1 Peter 3:15 and then moved on to the controversy that has arisen regarding the assertion that one must see David as a “rapist” regarding Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12, Psalm
