The Mormon Question and Then Open Phones

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Open Theism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Briefly addressed the “Mormon Question” in light of the recent get-together featuring Glenn Beck, then went to the phones, answering questions on the meaning of Elohim, Open Theism, Mormon Polygamy, prayer to saints, the Sovereignty of God, and finally the schools of Antioch and Alexandria.

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,

, , Exegesis, Open Theism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Resources, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played a video of Roman Catholics singing to a statue of Mary as backdrop to once again explaining that the latria/dulia distinction has no meaning or merit. Then commented quickly on the breaking news of Trump’s conviction in New York, then moved on to comments from Soteriology 101 on election.

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

The Emptiness of Secularist Jurists Demonstrated; Twitter Bookmarks

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Listened to Senator Ted Cruz roasting a leftist, radical female judge and took the time to consider the issues at a deeper level. Then I looked at a few videos I’ve marked for review in my Twitter bookmarks, including a PCUSA minister denying the deity of Christ and a Roman Catholic arguing for the necessity of an infallible canon to

Pelagian Pope, Two Part Romans Utterly Refuted

, , Church History, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the Pope’s comments on 60 Minutes, and then dove into a refutation of Brent Lay’s “Two Part Romans” theory (originated in 2013) that is being promoted by Jason Breda in a series of videos. The entire theory is based upon an alleged “ambiguous antecedent” in Romans 1:13, except, there is no such construction there, the antecedent is

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A wide range of topics on the DL today, from Pope Francis’ comments in the upcoming 60 Minutes interview, to Leighton Flowers’ “Calvinists think you have to be a better person to get saved” idea, to the amazing commitment of Adoniram and Ann Judson in bringing the gospel to Burma two hundred years ago. As I noted in the program,

How much do I love doing the Dividing Line, and love our audience? Well, 36 hours after surgery I managed to pull off our first ever full Radio Free Geneva, including our (relatively) new video opening and closing! How’s that for dedication! Gave a quick report on yet another exciting visit to the hospital while on the road, even getting

Road Trip DL: Tucker Carlson, Doug Wilson, and Pope Francis

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Sounds like the beginning of a lame joke, doesn’t it? But, it was actually two topics, first, my responses to the Tucker Carlson/Doug Wilson program. Then, we looked at Pope Francis’ idea that homosexual men are working out “love.” The program started fine, then, our internet connection died (yes, we are working on improving that situation, but can’t do it

A Sorta Radio Free Geneva from the New Rig

, , Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I really had not expected to get into this as deeply as we did, and this should have been a Radio Free Geneva, but be that as it may…we looked at the new film against “Once Saved, Always Saved,” listened to the opening section, talked about the necessary background issues, and then looked at the film’s vain attempt to get

In Memory of Pastor Dennis, Open Lines

, , Open Phones, The Dividing Line

Started off giving thanks for the life of Pastor Dennis Pillay in Durban, South Africa, a dear brother who passed into glory last week. Then we went to Zoom calls and covered topics such as the Descent of Christ, Catholic Answers, Christian YouTubers, the Lord’s Supper, philosophy and extra biblical language, and equal ultimacy. In-depth questions! We have an amazing

Jimmy Akin Debates Upcoming, then Open Phones

, , Debate, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Spent a few minutes at the start predicting where the debates in a few weeks will go in Louisiana, then we started taking calls mainly on the topic of the five debates we did last month, hence discussions on the unitarianism debate, then moving on to the Flowers and Breda debates. Not sure when we will be doing another program,

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Two primary topics on the program today, first, the emptiness of secularism and our need to be continually aware of its influence upon our thinking, acting, and speaking. Then, Hebrews 10 and its testimony to the purpose of God in the sacrifice of Christ, a particularly relevant topic on this Resurrection weekend.

The Marathon Ends: Final Road Trip DL (for Six Weeks Anyway)

, , Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Ken Wilson, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Managed to pull off a solid internet connection from a slight wide spot in the road called Lordsburg, New Mexico (really sad little town…lots of abandoned buildings). We covered a wide variety of things, including announcing the upcoming debates, April 24th and 25th, in Lafayette, Louisiana, with Catholic Answers apologist Jimmy Akin (sola scriptura, and “How Does a Man Have

Road Trip DL: Stream Died in the Wilderness; Tuggy and Flowers Comments, More John 6.

, , Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

We had a great group listening at the start but the stream died a thousand deaths tonight, so we had to just record the rest of the program. Discussed a few things from the Tuggy debate, and then moved on to more of the response from the Flowers debate. I had hooked up my second monitor so I could walk

Post Debate Road Trip Dividing Line: Flowers Debate Review

, , Debate, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today we went back over the key issues in the Flowers debate on John 6, looked more closely at 6:45, documented errors on LF’s part, etc. Also thanked a bunch of folks for their support and a super cool gift I was given last evening (the A&O Bow Tie!). Spent about ten minutes looking at Chris Fisher’s misuse of 1
