Happenings in Rome, Acts 15, and Provisionist Rhetoric

, , Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with more on the continuing developments with Francis, Fernandez, and the Roman Church, moving sort of seamlessly into @ReformedtoRome’s attempt to use Acts 15 as a defeater of sola scriptura. Then we looked at some recent @Soteriology101 statements on the idea of being made “better” so as to believe in Calvinism.

Spent an hour and 15 minutes with Dr. Jeffery Johnson, President of GBTS, talking about his new book, The Revealed God (2023). Then I responded to a tweet storm from Stephen Wolfe just this morning and talked a bit about what it means to be “truly Reformed.” An hour and 45 minutes.

Well, 2024 started out a bit rough technically speaking, but we got past that and got to a discussion of Aquinas at MBTS, Dale Tuggy and philosophical trinitarianism, and finally responses to Leighton Flowers on the will of God and the proclamation of the gospel. Ninety minutes.

End of the Year Dividing Line: General Cultural Topics, then TRBs.

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Ken Wilson, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to make brief mention of some of the big stuff happening in our day at the top of the program. Then did a quick summary of the Crusades in light of their being used by some CNs as some kind of positive thing, but then moved on into dealing with the TRBs, the Truly Reformed Baptists, and their willingness

Francis’ Fiducia Supplicans Examined in Context and a Follow Up on Last Week’s “Neo-Socinian” Accusation

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

Went a bit long today, but, lots to talk about, and my voice wasn’t real good, so I had to slow down a bit! In any case, first hour was on the Dicastery document released yesterday that caused such a stir, then we switched over to a summary of developments over the weekend with the “Neo-Socinian” allegations. Jumbo sized program

Rutgers’ Racist Professor, More Muhammed Hijab, and the Neo-Socinian Nonsense Again

Back in Phoenix in our regular studio, so we looked briefly at the racist Rutgers professor and “white folks,” then we spent about twenty minutes responding to more of Muhammed Hijab’s opening statement against the Trinity, and then listened to a few minutes of the “Coffee House Sessions” webcast on the modern state of Reformed Baptist and Robert Briggs’ accusation

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva: Only the Apostles were Predestined!

, , Exegesis, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Managed to do an RFG while on the road as I do long days to get home to Phoenix. Took the time to explain and refute Nick Craig’s “in depth” interpretation of Ephesians that tells us that verses 3 through 12 are only about the Apostles, not about regular believers. Then we looked at little bit at Acts 13:48, and

Road Trip Shorter DL: Conclusion of Longshore Response

, , Baptism, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

I’ve changed my travel plans home so I will be spending long hours in the saddle to get home a day earlier, so I wanted to finish up this response in case we are not able to sneak any programs on till late next week. Only about forty minutes today, but we finished up our review of Jared’s response article,

Poor Jared…Yes, Back to the Response

, , Baptism, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Just a few brief comments on Catholicism at the start, then back to Hebrews and Jared’s article. We are, at least, getting into the nitty gritty of what the real issues are, so, I hope that is helpful. Tomorrow is a travel day for me, so I won’t be able to do another program until I am headed home next

A Little Francis, But Mainly Responding to Jared Longshore

, , Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Commented on the Pope’s continued promotion of the climate fraud, and his connecting it to “the culture of death,” but spent most of the time responding to Jared Longshore on the Hebrews 8 issue. Did not finish, but hope to later in the week. Asked for comments on Twitter from listeners as to whether you want more of this kind

On The Origin of the Term “Biblicism”

, , Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism

On a Dividing Line in July of this year, Dr. James White discussed a section from a book by Dr. Matthew Barrett on the dangers of what he has termed “Biblicism”. The section was taken from Dr. Barrett’s forthcoming Systematic Theology. However, this post is not an interaction with the fuller points of that section but rather on what Dr.

Responding to a Roman Catholic Convert

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Though I touched briefly on a Soteriology 101 tweet at the end of the show, the vast majority was directed to responding to Joshua T. Charles and his presentation of Newman’s “development hypothesis” as the answer to my Nicea question. A lot is going on in Rome these days, and we need to keep up if we wish to be

Talked eschatology and law and culture and the future and hope and what we need to be praying for as far as mercy from God! As always a pleasure to
