Today on the DL James goes over the debate with Trent Horn as an illustration of how we should seriously track with debates and evaluate them.
Here is the YouTube link:
First half an hour or so we talked about Covid and passports and freedoms and the like, then we moved into looking at Trent Horn’s response to a small portion of our discussion of his 2019 Catholic Answers talk on Protestant “distortions” of church history, focusing upon the idea of “the argument from silence.” Almost an hour and 45 minutes
The Southern Baptist Convention is in town so I asked Pastor Tom Buck from First Baptist Church, Lindale Texas to join me in studio to talk Traditionalism and other things Southern Baptist. Here is the YouTube link:

And lots of other stuff thrown in
