Reformed Thomists?

, , Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Should evangelicals really agree with about 88% of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa? Well, that is what was claimed in a recent article in the Master’s Seminary Journal, so today we tackled that subject, hopefully in a respectful and brotherly fashion. I had intended to get to the Hess/Pallmann pseudo-review, but will have to hold that off till the next program. I

Radio Free Geneva: Responding to Flame on Romans 9

, , Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics

I tried to stay within an hour (I was doing an interview immediately after the program) but I went a little long. We responded to this thread from Christian rapper Flame on Romans 9 and his movement away from Calvinism. We read the thread, commented, and then went to the text once again, this time using our Flip board. I

Pale Blue Dots, Philosophy, Feser, and Mt. Carmel

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yeah, good luck figuring out that title! Covered a lot on a 100 minute program today, from scientism to the Pullmann/Hess debacle back to Aquinas and the Baptists and finishing up with the “Mt. Carmel Challenge.” We definitely covered the waterfront today!

When Words Just Don’t Mean Anything Anymore

, , Debate, Molinism, Personal

On February 13th I posted the following paragraph in three Tweets: It is seriously sad that someone who claims to be a Reformed theologian could parallel God’s freely ordaining “whatsoever comes to pass” with Hydra controlling Bucky’s mind. This is why Molinism creates the myth of MK: they do not believe the Triune God, who split the sea,  raised the dead,

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva!

, , Church History, Debate, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Our first road trip version of Radio Free Geneva! I guess we could have done it on the program yesterday, too, but I did not think of it till I was driving today. So I had forgotten to deal with an important part of Tim Stratton’s presentation yesterday, so I wanted to get to that, and there were some developments

Road Trip Debate Review, Quick Comments on Pallmann/Hess Review

, , Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Out in the middle of Texas somewhere near I-10 at a pretty nice little RV park (it is a former KOA, but now has a nice little cafe that just provided me with a very tasty, fresh cheeseburger) that I will definitely visit again in the future. I pushed myself to get here in time to do a DL and

Ed Shaw, Church Split, Provisionism

, , Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Molinism, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yet another Road Trip Dividing Line, of course, this time looking at a clip of Ed Shaw on how his homosexuality has made him “more like Jesus,” a quick listen to the opening of a “book review” of the “low hanging fruit” book called The Potter’s Freedom, a quick response to Leighton Flowers thinking that there is no difference between

Another Road Trip DL with Commentary, Some Keller Response, and Enduring for the Elect

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I’m settled into a quiet nook of the woods in East Texas right now, so we did a program that touched on developments in the covid insanity, provided a response on “contextualization” regarding Dr. Keller, and finished with some thoughts focused on Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:10.

Live from GBTS with Jeff Johnson and Owen Strachan

I finished six hours of lecture and immediately set up to do a DL in the lovely library area of Grace Bible Theological Seminary and was kindly joined by President Jeffrey Johnson and by Provost Owen Strachan to talk theology and a little history as well!

Evanescent Grace

, , Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Evanescent is not a common term in our language today, but it is being used as a means of attacking Reformed theology, and today we dove into Matthew 13 to address the issue, live from outside Conway, Arkansas. We are hoping to do another program tomorrow from Grace Bible Theological Seminary, but we haven’t tested things yet, so, we will

Road Trip Before the Storm

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Molinism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Evidently a big winter storm is heading my way, but we got a program in anyway, discussing my recent defense of Greg Bahnsen, attacks on religious freedom, and an article on Irenaeus’ view of “apostolic tradition” (found here). We finished up with a discussion from Isaiah 10 and the freedom and power of God in history. We will try again

John 6 Rescued from Leighton’s Scissors, then Jordan Peterson’s Amazing Statement

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Greetings from cold Springfield, Missouri! A road-trip edition of the Dividing Line as I caught a part of the Hughes/Flowers debate on John 6:44. Had to point out the basic error in Flowers’ approach, though we will do much more on that when I can download the video. Then we listened to a recent statement by Jordan Peterson on the

Thoughts On Faithfulness in an Uncertain Future

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Personal, Road Trip, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did the program from the Mobile Command Center today as a means of testing things out before I hit the road this weekend. I also wanted to test a touch screen we have obtained that should allow me to do mot of what I do on the Flip Board in the Big Studio, but while traveling. And it worked!

Catching Up on the March of the Secular Monster

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

So we webcast on two platforms now: YouTube and Odysee. We have freedom to talk about vaccines, Covid, mandates, and the outrageous behavior of the left, while on Odysee, but not on YouTube, which censors anyone who would talk about those things from the “wrong” viewpoint. This means I no longer really have the freedom to do a few stories

Covid Tyranny, then 1 Cor 10:13, John 12:32

, , Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did the program on Odysee today so I could talk freely about all the developments over the past week or so regarding vaccine mandates and the admission on the part of so many that pretty much everything we were saying in the middle of 2020 onward was, in fact, correct, despite the charges of “conspiracy theories” and the like. Then

James Dolezal’s Biblical Evidence for DDS

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Sorry for those who aren’t overly excited about internal Reformed Baptist issues, but I said a few weeks ago that I would engage Dr. Dolezal’s biblical evidence for the doctrine of divine simplicity (DDS) and today I did so. Went just over an hour and a half, but hope that the discussion was useful.
