The debate in Rapid City will begin at 8:00pm EDT on 4/21/2017
Yesterday afternoon I wrote a brief response to a graphic posted by CRI promoting an Eastern Orthodox critique of the principle of sola scriptura, the teaching that the God-breathed Scriptures are the sole infallible rule of faith for the church. This belief, echoed in the earliest centuries in many patristic citations, was encrusted by human tradition during the medieval period,
Too many topics to even start to list, but mainly in the opening I discussed the upcoming debates in South Dakota and London, then discussed a meme Ijaz Ahmad posted over the weekend, and then read all of William Lane Craig’s answer to a very insightful question sent to him. Then we took phone calls on…every topic imaginable! Only DL
A two hour program today playing nearly 50 minutes worth of comments (ok, at 1.2x speed!) by Hank Hanegraaff relating to his conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy and asking the simple question: can an Eastern Orthodox believer function as the Bible Answer Man? Important issues to be sure! Here is the YouTube link:
A few years back I posted an article explaining the weak textual evidence of Luke 23:34a, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This week is Good Friday and many sermons will be using this verse, so I think it is appropriate to bring awareness of its textual nature. Whether you agree with me or
Went just under Mega length today (about 1:50) with three topics: the news coming out last evening that Hank Hanegraaff of CRI has entered the Eastern Orthodox Church for the first 45 minutes or so, then an examination of some of the claims made by Dr. David Allen in his book on the atonement, specifically by name in response to
First portion of the program was on eschatology (gasp!) and some resources that you might find useful on the topic. Then we moved over to Roman Catholicism in reference to Matt Walsh, the move to have Mary named Co-Redemptrix in a dogmatic fashion, and the narrowing of the cultural landscape that will force believers and Roman Catholics closer and closer
Covered a pretty wide range today, starting with Mike O’Fallon talking about the upcoming Reformation Tour in Europe in September. Then we moved on to my debate invitation for David Allen. Then we played a video from Catholic Answers on why Mary is called “woman” by Jesus, demonstrating what happens when you deny sola scriptura. Then we looked at a Muslim
An Open Invitation to Dr. David Allen Subject: Moderated, Respectful, Scholarly Public Debate Topic: Resolved: The Book of Hebrews Teaches Jesus the Messiah Died to Redeem the Entire Human Race Without Exception, That Is, Christ Died for Every Human Being Who Has Ever Lived, is Alive Today, or Ever Will Live Dr. Allen Affirms Dr. White Denies October, 2017, Dallas

The fanatical dedication of the slaves of the Culture of Death should shame those of us who follow the Life with such little passion & zeal. ἐγὼ ἦλθον ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχωσιν καὶ περισσὸν ἔχωσιν.
After some brief comments about some of the insanity in the world at the start, focused the rest of the hour upon the comments made by Tim Staples on yesterday’s Catholic Answers Live program where he talked about Mary and her role as co-redemptrix. Important stuff during this 500th anniversary of the Reformation! Here is the YouTube link:
A Mega sized DL today, two full hours, with the first 1:15 dedicated to reviewing and responding to the Reasonable Faith podcast of 3/27 and its defense of Andy Stanley (which sounded more to me like a backhanded attack on Dr. Mohler to be honest). You see, apologetics is not theology, folks, and that is why you can treat the
Spent the first half of the program on the insanity of transgenderism and the moral evil of calling men women and women men. Then took a look at comments made by Dr. Mike Licona recently regarding the Bible and the resurrection, once again to distinguish apologetic methodologies and their relationship to the gospel. Here is the YouTube link:
Started off the first DL after two weeks with a little conversation about the book, The Benedict Option, along with an article on Tim Keller’s speaking at Princeton (they are related). Then started my report on my trip to South Africa and London, leading to an important announcement about my enrollment in the Ph.D. program at Northwest University in Potchefstroom, South

A one hour quick episode on my way to the airport, heading to South Africa and London. Discussed the evolving story of the obvious fact that Pope Francis is, well, a bit to the left of center on things, and then spent most of the time looking at the debate between Matt Dillahunty and Mike Licona, allegedly on the resurrection.
It was not hard at all to put together a string of articles on the moral anarchy in Western culture today, especially on the “transgender” issue. Touched on the conviction by a lower court of two men for daring to quote John 14:6 in public discussion in the UK. Then talked about a few other items, including the upcoming debate
Had not planned on going nearly two hours but time goes by so fast! Started off reading from the Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin. Then we moved on to reading a portion from Brave New World. You’ll have to listen to hear why! Made some comments, and then shifted gears completely and played a video by Yahya Snow
Just avoided going for a full three hours, but we reviewed Dr. Leighton Flowers’ podcast from September 26, 2016, which was ostensibly about those who never hear, but was much more about how Calvinism is a bad theology. In any case, it gave us the foundation for looking very carefully at Flowers’ views, as they are being presented to a
First half hour or so was on the ascension of transgenderism and the use of the sexual revolution by the left to attack religious freedom in the United States, illustrated in today’s court ruling against the florist in Washington state. Then we transitioned into a discussion of a challenge sent to me from Dr. Leighton Flowers regarding man’s inabilities due
I even said on the program at the end, “I have no idea how I will describe this program today.” Basically it was about finding balance, thinking through what is definitional and what is adiaphora (matters upon which different views can be held), first order doctrines versus second and third order doctrines, etc. I discussed the idea of separationism that
An Open Letter to Sam Shamoun Greetings Sam: Long time no talk. We used to chat a lot, remember? Well, that was only a few months ago, so I am sure you do. I went looking for our conversation on Facebook a few weeks ago. It’s disappeared. I wonder how that happened? But you know what it was like. We
The first hour was a hodge-podge of topics related to synergism, including a video from Michael Brown on whether we can lose our salvation, material from SBCToday (i.e., the “Traditionalists), etc. Then we talked for a few minutes about Robert Morey, debates, and the infamous “thing/thigh” hadith. Here is the YouTube link:
Spent an hour going over Dr. Tony Costa’s debate with Dr. Robert Sungenis on the Immaculate Conception, and Tony was kind enough to join me to discuss how Sungenis proved our accusation of sola ecclesia over and over again. Then I spent 45 minutes responding to recent untruths presented by Dr. Robert Morey and others. Hopefully helpful thoughts on evangelism, consistency,
