Open Zoom Calls on the Dividing Line

, , Debate, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Took some great Zoom calls today discussing the vine and the branches in John 15, MBTS, the Great Tradition, and Thomas (took a long time on this one), and then the Trinity, the Cross, “inseparable operations,” etc. Let’s just say certain quarters will be talking after this program! Last show in studio for a while: starting next week a mixture

No EFS, Predicate Adjectives and Scripture, the God Who Works All Things

, , Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Three topics today: first, a clear, unambiguous statement (again) that I do not, and never have, held to any form of EFS/ERAS theology, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they don’t know what they are talking about. Second, is it “every Scripture is God-breathed” or “every God-breathed Scripture is profitable”? And why does it matter? And third, are present tense

Views on Homosexuality, Interaction with Lindsay on Gnosticism

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with Pope Francis’ comments on homosexuality and the distinction of sin/crime, then looked at a progressivist on Twitter and his explanation of how he became “affirming.” Looked at a thread documenting comments Andy Stanley made to a group of pastors in 2019, and then finished up with a review of my brief discussion with James Lindsay on his

Ratzinger’s Posthumous Truth Bombs, FBC Orlando, Andy Stanley

, , Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Had to start of with a few minutes on the posthumously published book from Joseph Ratzinger. Fascinating and important stuff from the former Pope. Then we listened to some stuff from FBC Orlando, then on to Andy Stanley and homosexuals “serving” and “worshipping” in the Church. This is when we’ve been called to serve, so, we have to deal with

Comparing the meaning and application of “jot and tittle” from Matthew 5:18 with the assertions of Peter Van Kleeck

, , Church History, Debate, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, TROnlyism

During the recent debate between Dr. James White and Dr. Peter Van Kleeck, there was a brief discussion about Matthew 5:18 and the meaning of “jot and tittle”. The assertion which Dr. Van Kleeck was affirming, in relation to the topic of the debate which was “The Textus Receptus is equal to NT Autographs“, was that the Protestant Reformers (and

Radio Free Geneva: Frank Turek, Norm Geisler, David Allen

, , Exegesis, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off listening to a clip from Dr. Frank Turek with Leighton Flowers wherein Turek opines that many Reformed folks just have not thought through the ramifications of their position. He also held up Chosen But Free by Norman Geisler, so we discussed that as well. Then we moved over to comments made by Dr. David Allen in the fairly

Sam Gipp Versus the KJV Translators, Mormonism Review Including the Book of Abraham

, , King James Onlyism, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Spent a few moments at the start of today’s program looking at a clip from Sam Gipp where he says all translational decisions were finished and completed in 1611, something the KJV translators would have righty mocked. Then we dove into Isaiah and Jeremiah for key texts to present to Mormons, then took a brief look at the Book of

Why You Can’t Have a Gas Stove, Then Mormonism 101—Part 1

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

First half hour is on how the Regime’s attempt to get rid of gas ovens is, in reality, connected to everything else, including the insanity of thinking four year olds can “choose” their gender. Then we moved into Mormonism and, I will be honest, I just could not stop telling stories from all our thousands of hours of encounters with

The Death of Joseph Ratzinger, the Eternal Covenant in the London Baptist Confession

, , Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Spent a lot of time considering the death of Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI, and what light it has shone on how most Protestants today understand the Papacy. Spend a solid fifty minutes on that before spending about twenty minutes talking about the pactum salutis, the eternal covenant of redemption, as outlined in the London Baptist Confession of Faith. An hour

New Year “Laws” in California Show Deep Commitment to the Culture of Death

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Talked about more than that, but it was a major portion of my thinking as I started off with Jordan Peterson’s announcement that the tyrants in charge of “psychology” in Canada want to send him off to a “training camp” to punish him for wrong-think. It is all theology: the culture of death vs. the culture of life. Climate, all

The Pillays of South Africa, Self-Made Energy Crisis, Response to Derrick Brite

Final Dividing Line of 2022. Asked for prayer for Dennis Pillay and his wife in South Africa as end-of-life issues confront them, that God would give comfort and strength. Spoke a bit about the self-made, completely designed and intentional “energy crisis” around the world, and finished up responding to Derrick Brite on the role of Thomas in defining Christian orthodoxy.

Profaning Marriage, More on Joe’s Cookies, End of Year Giving

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

Spent time at the start talking about Jerald and Sandra Tanner and the Utah Lighthouse Ministry’s years of faithfulness in light of Sandra’s retirement. Then we looked at Biden’s absurd rhetoric on the profaning of marriage, looked at Phil Vischer’s joining in that same absurdity, and then we talked about the German study documenting the direct correlation of mRNA vaccines

36 Republicans Vote with All Democrats to Join Senate in Telling God We Hate Him and His Ways

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

In light of the US House of Representatives voting to ask God to make us like Sodom and Gomorrah, like Chorazin and Bethsaida, we talked today for an hour about God bringing judgment upon nations outside of Israel (looking at Amos 1:13) and how the culture of death is the common denominator of all the insane, self-destructive things now being
