Today I read some more from Reymond, this time the section on a biblical theodicy, before addressing about two minutes of Paige Patterson’s sermon on Calvinism from 2/2004. Then the phone calls started. Had one call on compatibilism and another on the Mouw situation up in Utah.

I began a series today reviewing portions of Doug Wilson’s debate with Dan Barker from 1997.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of Dallas Seminary and the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts joined me for the entire hour on the program today.

I managed to get through eleven minutes of Adrian Rogers’ college Bible study on “Hyper Calvinism” (i.e., just plain ol’ Calvinism) and then took a good call on John 6:44, 3:16, Dr. Lavender’s arguments, etc., that took us to the end of the hour. Listen here.

We went 8 minutes long today to get them all in. Calls covered a broad range from issues relating to Calvinism, Catholicism, Greek, exegesis, etc. Great callers!

Today on the Dividing Line we aired another episide of “Radio Free Geneva,” where we dedicate our entire time to responding to the worst of the worst of anti-Reformed polemics. Today, upon finishing the Adrian Rogers HyperCalvinism study, we moved into responding to Dr. S.M. Davis’ study, which exemplifies the horrific result of believing what Dave Hunt has to say.
