I rarely post things like this to the blog, but hey, I’ve known Mark for years, and even performed his wedding ceremony! Evidently, if we vote for his blog here, he might get himself a scholarship for seminary. Now, given that we need good folks in seminary, and Mark is good folk…how about voting for Mark Lamprecht? I’d love to
Answered an e-mail question regarding New Testament textual variants and the comparison to the Qur’an, then took phone calls on various subjects from infra/supralapsarianism to baptismal regeneration. Then David from New Mexico called and filled us in on the Pravda, err, Veritas Seminary apologetics conference in Albuquerque this past weekend, where Ergun Caner spoke with armed police standing by. Could
Roger Olson just posted a blog that is clearly a response to my comments about his book (without, of course, naming me: nothing new about that, given, of course, that he “on principle” refuses to read anything I write—evidently he can listen to what I say, just not read what I write). Here is his response. Now, let’s remember what
Yesterday a brother sent me an e-mail in which he linked to this website and pointed out the quotation of Erasmus about 60% down the page, that, at least at the present, reads as follows: These holy pages (KJB) will summon up the living image of His mind. They will give you Christ himself, talking, healing, dying, rising the whole
Back on June 11, 2011, a debate took place in Rochester, New York, on the topic of the Five Points. It was billed as “the Baptists” vs. “the Reformed.” What it was, of course, was Independent Fundamentalist King James Only Dispensationalist Synergists vs. Reformed Theology. I am a Baptist, but there was nothing in these men’s hermeneutics that I could
I spoke on the concept of universalism last month here in Phoenix: Download
We finished looking at the eleven Calvinist objections answered in the appendix of Olson’s new book. I noted that I will try to work his book on Arminian theology into my reading/listening/riding schedule over the next few weeks, mainly because I found his attempts to explain God’s relationship to time and the events in time highly problematic. Stay tuned for
(Though I confess…the comfy chair thing is not something I would ever want to be forced into!)
I continue and hopefully conclude my discussion on the meaning of Reformed by providing a response to comments made in the comments box of this website. Adam Kaloostian says: November 2, 2011 at 5:23 pm 1- “do you consider Baptists of any type to be your fellow believers and co-laborers in the gospel?” Anyone who is made alive by the
As we will see, the fundamental argument of our URC pastor brethren is that I am not a part of the true church. Though my church, the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church, is an organized, confessional, Bible preaching, ordinance practicing, disciplining church, that evidently is not enough. The irony, as we shall see, is that churches are accepted as true churches
A couple of days ago someone in Twitter dropped me a link to a Southern California Reformed radio program. I am not sure why I followed the link, but I did. I encountered a video that contained the audio portion of a radio program where in some reformed pastors were responding to comments made by Dr. John MacArthur. As I
We had been hearing about the arrival of Roger Olson’s book, Against Calvinism, for quite some time. It happened to arrive just before I left for Australia, so I did not have time to do much more than review his comments on 1 Timothy 2:4 (here). I have now returned home, so I got his book recorded to mp3 and
What happens when you take the time to read through Roger Olson’s new book? You need to do a Radio Free Geneva! Yes indeed, this afternoon at 4pm tune in for a review of Against Calvinism!
Many thanks to Evan May and the folks in New Orleans for posting these videos on Vimeo. I would like to fairly ask those who listened to Ergun Caner’s presentation at the Veritas conference this past weekend to compare and consider not only the information presented, but the manner in which it is presented as well. Which would you like
This past weekend I saw a tweet about a brother who had gone to the Veritas National Apologetics Conference at the Costa Mesa Calvary Chapel in California. He wore his own version of the Hadith 2425 t-shirt and went to Ergun Caner’s table in the bookstore. The resultant encounter was narrated today on the Dividing Line as he called in
Join us at the regular time for the Dividing Line today (11am MST) where we will have open phones—so how long the program is depends on the callers! See you then!
Snuck a quick DL in during my one day home between ministry trips, giving a report on my trip to Australia and playing sections of both debates which took place last week. While playing a section of the Perkins debate I took the time to look up the reference Perkins provided on the web earlier today where he alleged I
Think about it. It is coming for us all.
You could not have a stronger contrast between the mindset and behavior of my two debate opponents this week, and, in particular, in their response to how I bent over backwards to try to make these debates as fair, even-handed, and useful as possible. I refer to my taking a tremendous amount of time on the Dividing Line going over

Just a quick report, as I will not be able to do a DL while down here. Was going to try to do so tomorrow morning my time, but the hotel wireless and my MacBook Pro simply refuse to communicate no matter what I do, so that won’t be possible. Technology is not yet fully perfected, to be sure. In

I need to hit the hay as tomorrow will be a very, very busy and challenging day, and I have to get back up in a few short hours, but I wanted to post a couple of pictures from today’s events, first, from the two hours I got to spend with some of the fine students at Moore College in
Greetings from Sydney. Today is “debate day,” where I will be speaking at Moore College in just over an hour, and then heading to my debate with Abdullah Kunde at 7pm. Please pray for our time tonight! Last evening I preached at St. Augustine’s Anglican Church in Neutral Bay…love being able to see the folks clearly from that elevated pulpit!
I will be joining Paul Edwards tomorrow evening (from your perspective back there—for me, it will be 8am on Friday morning) on his talk show in Detroit (5:05pm) to discuss the brouhaha currently raging over Mormonism. Listen in!
Roger Olson’s new book, Against Calvinism, became available in Kindle format the day before I left for Australia. Thankfully, I slept well on the trans-Pacific flight and hence did not get an opportunity to look at it until just now as I am settled in in Sydney. I have much to do in preparation for next week’s ministry, including two
Took half an hour to talk about the “Mormonism as a cult” controversy in the news, then dove back into the Roger Perkins debate given that this was the last time we will be reviewing that material prior to my leaving for Australia. Managed to get about 2/3 of the way through the second day’s opening statement, so, all in
Well, here I go…headed to Australia tomorrow night. My debate with Abdullah Kunde is Monday evening, and my debate with Roger Perkins is Friday night in Brisbane. Please be praying for both of these encounters, that the triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, would be glorified, His people edified, the gospel proclaimed, His elect drawn. Of course, please pray
