Today on a jumbo length Dividing Line I started off asking for your help to get me to London and South Africa in late September or early October. If you would like to help me get to London for a debate on Roman Catholicism, and then to South Africa for numerous opportunities of teaching, lecturing, but most importantly, to debate

James talks about his trip to Omaha and Tour de Apologia, Jason Collin’s “coming out”, a letter about homosexuality on a blog and even takes calls!

Covered two topics mainly today, with two brief calls interspersed. First played Adam’s call to Steve Gregg. Adam is a Catholic Answers forums user, and, true to form, repeated the ever-growing, and still utterly inane “38,000 Denominations” falsehood within the first fifteen seconds or so. Then we took some calls, and moved on to Adam Harwood’s presentation at the John

Rob Bell appeared on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable broadcast this past weekend. The first two thirds of the program were unremarkable, but finally they got to asking serious questions of Bell, who did not handle the encounter very well. Aside from needing to download a profanity beep sound (Bell got a little “edgy” when he started pretending to be a victim),

Did not even bother trying to make a transition between the two halves of today’s program. Started off with a discussion of Islam and eventually the reading of a few “hadith Qudsi,” all of which I explained on the program. Then switched over to a response to yesterday’s attempted response by Peter Lumpkins, taking the opportunity to go a little

Did manage to discuss a few other topics at first, including some gay marriage related topics, but spent the majority of the hour looking at this thread from the Catholic Answers Forums, once again illustrating the fact that the folks who regularly frequent such forums just don’t seem to have an overly voracious desire for the truth.

Started off with a little Lumpy news and comment, then moved into the California AB 460 absurdity, a good bit more on that general topic, later threw in some Qur’an discussion, some clips from the Wilson/Sullivan debate, and a bunch of good calls. I was as tired as could be, but hope it is useful anyway!

Due to scheduling issues with both Rich and I, we will try for a Jumbo DL tomorrow at 6:30pm EDT. Note I said try. I have a busy day, but should be able to make it. Join us then! Currently in “the folder” for the program is the single most absurd act by an “elected official” I have ever encountered,

Did a special Jumbo Edition of Radio Free Geneva yesterday, addressing three primary topics: first, the John 3:16 Conference from a few weeks ago; second, Greg Boyd’s attack upon “PSA,” i.e., penal substitutionary atonement (lots of parallels to the arguments Muslims use); and finally, a full review of Peter Lumpkin’s booklet on Calvinism. Don your “Calvin is my Homeboy” t-shirt

Two rather different topics today on the DL, but I went at both of them with some level of passion, to be sure. For the first half of the program I talked directly to Bassam Zawadi and other Islamic apologists on the topic of the Qur’an and its relationship to the Bible. Some may be lost in the discussion, but,

Spent the entire program looking at the current social conversation brought on by the onslaught of rebels against God’s institution of marriage, including some of the odd, capitulating or accommodating responses of evangelicals as well, including one call on the topic. And don’t forget the WayBack Machine, streaming Dividing Lines from 1998 onward 24/7! You can listen on the Flash

Couldn’t exactly avoid the topic of “Marriage Equality” today (a phrase that is so utterly absurd in its meaning that one is left stuttering at its prevalence in society), so we started off there, looking at Ted Olson’s vain attempts to disassociate polygamy (and any number of other perversions of marriage) from his defense of the redefinition of marriage. Then

Just a quick note that today’s DL will be at 4pm MST (7pm EDT). See you then!

Covered a wide variety of topics, starting off with Matthew Vine’s “Reformation Project,” followed by Rome’s willingness to give folks like Biden and Pelosi the “sacrament,” despite their rejection of Rome’s teachings, shortly commented on Candida Moss’ new book (actually finished it on my ride today), and then looked at Michael Patton’s “non-essentials” list as well. Then we took some
