I spent the first fifty minutes of the program today reviewing Jon Modene’s amazing “sermon” against R.C. Sproul, and then took a call on KJV Onlyism teacher Sam Gipp and the KJV’s translation of “Easter” in Acts 12.
I was sent a link by someone a few days ago of one Jon Modene preaching about his visit to R.C. Sproul’s church. Today I took the time to load it up while working on other things. I could not believe what I was hearing. So I sent an e-mail to the link provided on Sermon Audio and said that
I was just informed of this, and it’s pretty neat. The Potter’s Freedom in electronic format. I’m sure Norman Geisler is thrilled. Now folks can check the page citations in Dr. Geisler’s “response” to my book for themselves and stare in amazement even faster! And at high resolution, too! Calvinism for Computers.
The response to my simply replying to a Roman Catholic who started out attacking me perosnally, calling me an agent of Satan, etc., over at Envoy, has been, as normal, most sad. Though Jerry-Jet continues to melt down, filling his posts WITH CAPS AND LOTS OF EXCLAMATIOIN POINTS!!!!! and throwing around accusations of “lying” and “serving Satan” and the like,
I have been informed that we had a major “woops” take place in the first shipments we made of the Shabir Ally debate DVDs. Seems a stack of the second DVD of the John Dominic Crossan debate got switched with the Ally debate, so what was sent out was the second disk of the Crossan debate. I am also informed
Over the course of the past seventeen years I have engaged the subject of sola scriptura in a tremendously wide variety of venues. My first public debate was with Gerry Matatics on sola scriptura in August, 1990. I had already written a book, Answers to Catholic Claims that interacted with Karl Keating’s works and included discussion of Newman’s development hypothesis.
In case some of my readers were wondering what kind of response my reply to Jerry-Jet received, I must sadly report that the level of response was…not encouraging. Just a few representative samples: Notice folks–all you have to do is quote from the Bible and Jesus’ own words and it strikes Satan so hard that he tries to trot out
Today on the Dividing Line I started out responding to an article by Malcolm Lavender on Acts 13:48. Then we took two excellent phone calls, the second of which was particularly useful as it focused upon Biblical authority in response to Roman Catholic claims. Should be useful to a wide variety of folks. Also, when talking to someone in channel
I continue with my response to “Jerry-Jet” on the Envoy Magazine web boards and his comments regarding me. The TRUTH is that Mr. White is leading people to Hell and people SHOULD be told that if they follow HIS interpretation of the Bible and not the Catholic Church who Jesus gave that authority to and if done with full knowledge
Dutch society died in the realm of morality quite some time ago. The bloated corpse, however, hangs around. Hat tip Shamgar and crewbear. Oh, by the way, do their arguments sound hauntingly familiar? Like the arguments used by the homosexuals only a few years ago? Hmmmm.
I have mentioned on the Dividing Line the work of a great Christian scholar here in the States, Don Hartley. I mentioned an article he did recently in an apologetics journal on 2 Cor. 4:4 and the “God of this age” in that text (a view I’m leaning more toward myself these days, but haven’t had as much time as
It has been a while since I uploaded a fractal. My Webshots page now allows me to link directly to thumbnails there, which simplifies my doing this, so that is nice. This isn’t a normal fractal like those I’ve uploaded before. Instead, this one I made in Gimp rather than UltraFractal or Sterling. But it makes for a nice background
I continue my review of Tim Warner’s attempt to subvert the testimony of John 6 to the sovereignty of God. I note in passing that I have come to understand that aside from misrepresenting and evidently misunderstanding basic elements of the Greek language, such as the subjunctive, Warner’s group likewise seems to promote a form of TR Onlyism, including the
Read john chapter 6 if you are Protestant and then TRY to tell anyone that you don’t believe the words of Jesus! Tell me that Protestants aren’t like all those disciples of Jesus that fell away from him because He has given them “a hard teaching”. Will you also go away to grape juice and crackers like they did in
The following post appears in the Envoy Magazine forums, posted by a veteran of those forums, Jerry-Jet, who has posted over 1,000 times there. Since his words represent the kind of argument you will get from the Catholic Answers/Envoy style Catholic apologetics realm, I felt it would be useful to respond to it here. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 is the LAMEST
If you don’t get this…you haven’t been listening to the DL of late.
I was talking with David King in our channel and we were both expressing our amazement at the simple hubris of many who quite literally prey upon their audience while pawning off tired, oft-refuted, shallow arguments while ignoring the refutation of their errors, even when those refutations have appeared in print. I was considering the time and money invested by
You may recall back in June a series of blog articles that dealt with the fact that Rome’s apologists really don’t seem to spend much time reading “the other side,” and how, when caught being way, way behind on things, they use that as an opportunity to simply “diss” myself or anyone else who would point out their less than
Snicker. Gotta love this one. What’s scarey is, I can identify the gun (Glock 9mm). As a PC user, I can’t help but empathize with the PC dude by this point. If I can get myself out from under my desk (how DO all those wires get wrapped around each other so quickly and so…thoroughly?) I would really like to
Continued the Lynn/Spong discussion, then went back to looking at Ahmed Deedat’s attacks on the Bible, and then tried to take a call that didn’t work out too well due to a less than spectacular phone on the other end of the line. Then briefly mentioned the statement on the upcoming Liberty debate.
A Public Statement Since February 27th of this year, plans have been underway to schedule a debate on Baptists and Calvinism. Drs. James White, Ergun Caner, Emir Caner and Tom Ascol initially agreed to participate in this event which was scheduled to be held at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia on October 16, 2006. Over the last five
In our last installment we examined Tim Warner’s assertion that rather than the great promise of God to His people that He has provided a full and complete salvation in Jesus Christ, Warner’s man-centered “progressive dispensationalism” leads him to make this amazing statement: Jesus did not tell the Jewish crowds what God had absolutely decreed, but God’s desire and purpose.
The following was just linked in channel from here (thanks crewbear). I think it says all that needs to be said about what happens when a denomination is cut loose from the Scriptures: “We take no position on Scripture or theology or morals,” said Donna Bott, a leader of a group called Episcopal Voices of Central Florida, which sponsored the
Remember that poem, Alexander’s No Good Very Bad Day? I memorized it when I was a kid. Well, today was Rich’s No Good, Very Bad Day behind the control board. We had fun. Oh well, we aren’t pretentious enough to worry about not getting the break started, or having the end of the program go late because the computer’s clock
OK, so we have more than a staff of two can handle at one time. Yeah, we bit off way more than we could chew on the move, and are paying the price months later. Well, we do our best. In any case, while we wanted to do our own editing, graphics, and the like, for the Shabir Ally debate,
Preached on the view of God’s Word regarding homosexuality and the pro-homosexual movement at PRBC both services Sunday. When the sermons are posted, they will be here. Pray for the safety of our offices. Someone smashed out my wife’s passenger side window Thursday evening when she was here, right out in the parking lot. Left a six inch knife in
The primary reason for addressing Tim Warner’s arguments on the subject of John 6 is found in the assertions made therein regarding the exegesis of the text. Each time examples can be provided of errors in exegesis, it is hoped our readers will be better equipped to detect such mistakes in a wider variety of contexts. As noted before, Mr.
A few moments ago Chris Arnzen forwarded me some correspondence that had developed today. To make Chris happy, I have (are you all sitting down?) actually updated the calendar page. I am sorry that page is so…humorous (it is normally more a historical run down of last year’s events than anything else), but I find it very time consuming to
I did as I predicted and reviewed the interview of John Shelby Spong by Barry Lynn, and then took a useful call on a new Watchtower publication’s comments on Matthew 24:36. Here is the program.
I hope to find the time today to get another post in the John 6 series up. This morning I listened to Barry Lynn interviewing John Shelby Spong while riding. That was a bit tough, as you can imagine, but enlightening as well. I have a feeling I will review that on the DL today, since it is always easier
