Responding to Trent Horn on Theopneustos, Part I

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Went just over 90 minutes today. The first quarter hour we talked briefly about dying Bible pages (showed off my recent examples) and the descent of the US into true banana republic status. Then we launched into Trent Horn’s response to me on theopneustos, getting into a wide variety of topics such as church history, lexicography, and the like. We

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

, , Jehovah's Witnesses, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off showing my newly “dyed” Bible texts, following the process laid out by Jeffery Rice in this video, and then took calls on Rushdooney, Alma Allred (Mormonism), recognizing novel and soon to be abandoned ideas in theology, wokeness in the Assemblies of God, and dealing with Jehovah’s Witnesses on the eternality of Jesus. Also, we had one Modalistic caller

, , Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Ninety minutes in the big studio today using the big board to look at some important topics. Started off with a little KJV Only silliness, then a little TR-Only silliness, and then on to comments made by IRBC pastor Steve Meister on Josh Sommer’s program about biblicism being the “road to Rome.” Having corrected that idea, we moved into the

Some Voices from the Past, the Importance of Biblicism

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Other than discussing some upcoming events (such as the debate in Pennsylvania), we took some time to listen to some voices from the past (Chrysostom, Jerome) and think about how things have changed. We also took some time to consider the definition of biblicism in the current controversy.

New Video on Eastern Orthodoxy, Biblicism is “Cultic,” Dale Tuggy States His Position

, , Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Last Road Trip Dividing Line for the July, 2023 trip (only a matter of weeks till we head for Pennsylvania and then G3). Live stream failed us (I have no idea why!). Talked a bit about this new video on Eastern Orthodoxy from Jason Wallace up in Magna, Utah, discussed the assertion that biblicism is “cultic” (and the obvious need

Our New Dividing Line Search Engine and More

, , Eschatology, Homosexuality, Road Trip, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Unitarianism

Had a few technical issues today to be sure, but we soldiered on, looking at our new search engine which allows you to look for words and phrases in ALL of the Dividing Lines since 1998! Twenty five years worth (over 2,000 episodes). Pretty amazing stuff. Then we looked at a few comments from ol’ Steve Camp, a few more

Jumbo Road Trip Edition on Twitter!

, , Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

So Rich was literally just poking around on Twitter when he stumbled across the “live” set up recently, so today was our first day to live-cast on Twitter. That was what we wanted to do all along, but obviously things are developing at Twitter and so we had to use Facebook (which drove me nuts). But, for as long as

A Jumbo Road Trip DL!

, , Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Started off today’s program talking about upcoming debates. Unfortunately, during the program itself, Chris Arnzen got word that Dr. Brownson will not be pursuing the debate on the 16th of September. However, we have another opponent lined up and will be able to give you information on that in a few days. Spent a while responding to portions of a

A New Low of Depravity, Wolfe on Dever, Anthony Bernabei Exposed

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Iglesia Ni Christo, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity, Unitarianism

Managed a solid live stream today, thankfully! Started off with an amazing example of “no, we haven’t hit rock bottom quite yet, but man we are digging hard” as far as the evil of man is concerned. Then we looked at Stephen Wolfe’s comments in response to Mark Dever on paedobaptism and a regenerate church membership. Finished up looking at

Pravda in Louisville; 1 Peter 3:15 and Isaiah

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

The first 35 minutes or so of today’s program focused on the Miss Universe results in the Netherlands, where a highly unattractive dude beat out some absolutely stunning women, all in the service to the dismantling of the West. Then we looked at pure, unhidden, unapologetic propaganda from an ABC affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky. Then we switched over to an

Road Trip DL from Santa Fe

, , Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Had to record the program today due to the location I am at in Santa Fe (possibly due to weather issues as well, not completely sure). Talked about the Australian legislation being proposed to give the state pretty much full control over speech and how we have taken our eyes off the ball as the totalitarians continue their global march.

Bruce Jenner Is Still Here, Then Leighton Flowers and Colossians 2:12

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off with stories about California and Michigan pressing the woke gender ideology that is a plague upon us all. Then, finally, as promised almost two weeks ago, I got to Leighton Flowers and his “Calvinists cannot answer Colossians 2:12” argument and discovered that in fact it seems it is the Provisionists who have to struggle with that particular text.

The Problem with the Pope

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Our main discussion today was based upon Pope Francis’ kind letter to Fr. Martin and the LGBTQ folks meeting tomorrow at Fordham University. What does this letter mean, and where is Rome really going today? The alleged “certainty” that flows from the claim of Papal authority is a two-edged sword that really ends up showing us that Rome’s “constancy” is

Was running solo again today but managed to dive into a number of topics as well as get into the original language texts on topics such as Paul’s use of Psalm 2, 8, 110, and the nature of Christ’s kingdom and reign. We also talked a bit about Derek Webb’s deep dive into spiritual darkness, and finished up looking at

My First Solo Flight on the Dividing Line!

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I ran everything myself today, so even I am interested in how it turned out! Covered a lot of current events driven topics, which, being June, included a lot of cultural stuff, the sufficiency of Scripture, legal cases, the SBC, that kind of stuff. Touched lightly on eschatology, law, etc. Just over an hour in length.

Thinking Through the Ugandan Controversy

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

It is very sad that the the Church does not speak with a unified voice in the modern world. Yet it remains our duty to think through, as Christians, the key issues we are facing in this world gone insane with its destructive rebellion. Today we looked at the comparison of a progressivist, “liberal” view on homosexuality with the comments

What are We Conserving? What are we Debating?

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

Started off with some thoughts on Ted Cruz’s tweet about Uganda and Charlie Kirk’s comments about conservatism. What are we supposed to be conserving if such basic, foundational truths as family and marriage are negotiable? Then we looked at an article Catholic Answers published last year in response to the “White Question” and then finished up talking about debates (as

I was Chris Arnzen’s guest on Iron Sharpens Iron today, and then 15 minutes later we did the Dividing Line. I am in Tucumcari, New Mexico, making my way home in the mobile command center, truly enjoying our new studio, Starlink web access, etc. Despite some pretty strong thunderstorms we maintained connection and discussed forty years of ministry in the
