Started off briefly noting Peter Lumpkins’ absence (fully expected of course), then took some quick calls on a wide variety of topics, including a discussion of the high priestly work of Christ and an upcoming debate with atheists. I then moved into reading a large portion of chapter 4 of Love Wins, illustrating the man-centeredness of the Arminian fundamentalism that

Well, the Cox guy comes out, says we should be fixed up, and…boom, five minutes before the DL, once again, we are dead in the water. Thankfully, the Cox guy was just leaving. He can’t find anything wrong here, so this is all in the “main office,” but he isn’t getting anywhere with them, either. Somebody is playing games anyway.

Our ISP is having…issues providing us with consistent internet access. We lost all connectivity about 30 minutes before the DL, but got it back. Then it dropped out five minutes before, so we have called them and they are “sending someone out” (you know how specific that is), so, for now, we are going to try for 3pm our time,

Started off challenging Peter Lumpkins to provide documentation of claims he has been making, and then moved on to important stuff: a quick review of key issues relating to both Love Wins as well as Forged by Bart Ehrman. I hope to provide some foundational and important observations that will be helpful to my fellow believers.

Started off noting that Love does Win…at least, it gets Peter Lumpkins to post reviews of Rob Bell’s book by Anglicans (well, Anglican last time I checked anyway). But we had a very full board of calls, and after a few technical glitches, got to them, including questions about KJV Onlyism, Rome’s abuse of Luke 1:28, Fred Phelps, and the

We are bumping the DL back a day, so, regular Tuesday time (11am MST) on Monday. Yeah, Amazon released Love Wins early, so I’m about half way through that, but…that has nothing at all to do with why we are moving the program. I just needed to clear Tuesday out for something else! So, hope to hear from you as

Another eclectic program today, covering Richard Mouw’s proclamation of Rob Bell as orthodox, a call from Ben the agnostic, a quick review of some comments by Mustafa Arja in a recent debate (looking at his use of Shabir Ally and especially Bart Ehrman), and then a call that took us almost 15 minutes beyond our normal time, a conversation with

Our ISP is having a hard day today. We lose our connectivity every few minutes, and maintain it only erratically. So, that may impact the DL this afternoon. Right now, we, just like the God of Open Theism, do not know what the future holds. So if you try connecting up at 4pm MST and there’s nothing there, you’ll know

Another eclectic program today, starting off with two calls, one on RC Sproul and his opposition to presuppositional apologetics (the call moved quickly to a discussion of the method more than Sproul’s views) and the next from Silly Brit II (aka John Samson) on Jesus’ words about Chorazin and Bethsaida. Then we launched into Rob Bell’s press-release video presentation from

Let’s see, we covered a question on common grace and those who deny there is such a thing; Mark 6 and Jesus “could not” do mighty works in Nazareth due to unbelief; Acts 17:27 and what “groping” for God might mean; refuting the community college atheists and their Osiris/Horus/Dionysus/Attis/Mithra madness; responding to an atheist’s “Questions for Bible Thumpers,” and finally,

Started off with my frustration at the “discernment ministries” of our land that seem to either lack discernment, or a backbone, to stand up and blow the lid off the Great Evangelical Cover-Up (can you say not-so-Veritas Seminary?), and then moved on to e-mail questions. We got into Geek 101 for a while, covering Kindle and iPad stuff, as we

I have duties to attend to at home, so rather than just canceling the DL for Tuesday, we will do it early: 9:30am MST, 11:30am EST, and 3:30am in Sydney, Australia (David Ould was just whining in channel about this). I need to make sure our friends at Liberty know about this, lest they miss anything at all. 🙂

On January 31st I was contacted by a professor in a reformed seminary relating to Mark Siljander’s book, A Deadly Misunderstanding. That happened to be the day I left for London, so I do not recall when, exactly, I purchased the book via Kindle. I know I began listening to it on a 75 mile climbing ride on February 23rd.
