A number of items on the table today including some words from Mel Gibson about the Pope, a discussion of Wes Huff on Rogan, the sufficiency of Scripture, and some more statements from Calvin Robinson prompting us to again ask Joel Webbon whether he would allow Robinson to commit trashworld to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

End of Year Catch Up on Developments in the “Trashworld” Controversy

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Misc, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so. Stephen Wolfe chimed in today with a tweet about his viewpoint on issues, so we really had to take some time to consider where this is all going, and what it

Insights from TurretinFan, and More on the Nazi Invasion

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Talked a bit about how modern tech is allowing us to “read” ancient scrolls that have been fossilized over time, then looked at some insights, and corrections, from our friend TurretinFan regarding the TR, the book of Revelation, etc. Then transitioned into more recent developments into the influx of Nazi apologists into “Reformed” churches, and the Reformed men who are,

Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and apologist, and Billy Carson, an Internet “influencer” of some kind, and

Return Road Trip DL from the Middle of Nowhere

, , Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I am in western Oklahoma, just shy of the Texas panhandle, and I am truly in the middle of nowhere. But, we set up Starlink and got the job done! Pretty much went through a Twitter thread from a fellow named BG Apustaja and replied to his assertions about how I have become “unhinged,” which led to a discussion of

Frozen Road Trip DL: The Supreme Court as a Window into the Degradation of the US

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I am parked in the frozen tundra of St. Charles but we still managed to spend an hour talking mainly about the oral arguments presented at the Supreme Court yesterday regarding SB1, Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of chemicals on minors to “transition” them. It was a truly disheartening thing to listen to the entire session and realize that you

Road Trip DL from St. Charles

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Got a program in from windy, and soon to be very cold, St. Charles Missouri, where I will be speaking on God’s response to the LGBTQ revolution this weekend, the 24th year I have spoken at Covenant of Grace Church. Talked a bit about “Reformedville” and happenings therein, eventually transitioning into the glorious truth of the sufficiency of Scripture from

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be “usual” for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new “thing” to be all excited about, “The PWC,” the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central

Welby, Lawson, and Christian Unity

, , Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Transinsanity

Got an early program in (head out over the weekend again, so, time is short!). Discussed the Archbishop Welby resignation, new developments in the Steve Lawson saga, and then looked at statements from folks who are continuing to battle against a biblical view of Christian unity and of the nature of Christ’s Kingdom. Uncertain about whether we will find a

Trump is not King, Internet Mobs, 4th Grade Playground

, , Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with noting a fund raiser for Joshua Haymes’ little boy (kidney transplant) hoping our audience will pull together and help them over the top. Looked at some odd Jimmy Akin comments about Mary and sinfulness, then talked a bit about Trump’s promises and the real, honest mountains he will have to climb to fulfill them, and how unlikely

New Big Board in the Big Studio

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Offense, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

So while I was gone Rich installed a new, bigger board in the big studio, so we had to try it out. Started with a discussion of the incredible amount of Nazi propaganda online these days, masquerading as Christian belief in supposedly Reformed churches. Lots of Confederates, Presbyterians, and 1689ers in the movement. Looked at a few posts and discussed

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Wow, covered a lot today! Rich will have to edit out a technical issue we had, but, we managed to get it all covered anyway. A bit about the election, and the amazing endorsement of Kamala Harris by the Babylon Bee! Hard to argue against their reasons! We talked about the Precious Moments figurines with weird connections to wild viewpoints

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Offense, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

After a few minutes of the inevitable talk about being on the road, going through a McDonald’s drive-thru looking for Donald Trump, and the current election situation, I commented on the Steven Anderson saga, and then spent the rest of the program talking about the claims Ammon Hillman made in the full 3.5 hour interview from which the short snippet

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First stop on my trip to Alabama. Covered how we need to think long-term to be faithful and thankful, and then talked about how Hebrews moves from deep theology to the practical application in the Christian life, and how the Heroes of Faith chapter (11) provides us with the kind of examples we should emulate today.

Rome’s Trajectory, Response to Division and Debate Amongst the “Reformed”

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Misc, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a bit on the election, then tied this into the current developments in Rome with Francis making sure his legacy will continue to shift the direction of the Roman Church. Then addressed Joel Webbon’s recent webcast about the now infamous Holocaust meme, and related issues amongst the “Reformed” (that term is just about to collapse due to

Christian Worldview Formation and Maintenance in 2024, then, Me and Stephen Wolfe

, , Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

It’s been quite the day today (dock workers strike, stock market, Iran attacking Israel), so I pondered a bit about the flood of information that comes at us, now instantly, and how that was not the case only a few decades ago. We talked about the need to form, and practice, a Christian worldview in these very challenging times. Then

Romans 3, Steve Lawson Issues, Pietism, Anabaptism, Sacralism

, , Baptism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eschatology, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Three sections to the program today. The first topic was a discussion on Romans 3 and its testimony to human sinfulness. The second was a relatively brief commentary on new developments in the Steve Lawson saga. The last was a discussion of the terms pietism, Anabaptism, and sacralism, prompted by a recent webcast that identified me as a pietist and

A Sad Survey, the Changing World of Mormonism, the Changing World of Francis

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I was running the program alone today and forgot to get the music ready, so…not overly professional today! But, spent the first half hour on the survey that showed a huge percentage of young women voters whose primary concern is their ability to kill babies, and why this horrific reality is present in the West today. There is much to

The Widening of God’s Mercy: New Pro-LGBTQ Book, and Comments by Pope Francis

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

A new book has been released by the father/son team of Richard and Christopher Hays titled The Widening of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story. I hate to be the spoiler, but the thesis is, God changes His mind and His will, so it’s OK to ignore what the Bible used to say about same-sex relationships, God’s intention in

The Wisdom of the World, Then Two Important LDS Issues

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Did an early show today (but still had a large live audience for some reason!) and mainly covered two topics: first, a blog article Phil Johnson wrote 15 years ago that Stephen Wolfe identified as “moronic,” and then two LDS topics that illustrate just how much the Mormon Church has changed over the past forty years. Enjoy!

Jason Lisle for 45 Minutes, About All that Crusading Stuff

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

Started off with our dear brother Jason Lisle discussing his new paper on cosmology and its very, very important implications (both Rich and I struggled to keep up, but, that’s just the nature of the information!). Here is the article at Jason’s website. Then I just calmly went back over the key issues that have arisen over the past week

Why I Will Still Vote Against the Marxists, and Why the Crusades Were Still a Mockery of the Cross and the Gospel

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Two topics today. First forty minutes on my thoughts on the upcoming election and how, if the Marxists are victorious (and that may be a foregone conclusion), it could be the last even pretend election in our lifetimes, and how this should, in my opinion, impact those who have decided that not voting is their best choice. Then, in the

Final Road Trip Program for This Trip

, , Baptism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Eschatology, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Unusual Saturday program, but travel is that way. Thanked the local churches I ministered in on this trip, then talked a bit about Wednesday’s debate with Jared Longshore, and then finished up with a response to a denial of the imputation of the active and passive obedience of Christ in justification, along with providing a refutation of how that denial

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A stormy weather DL from Golden, Colorado. Talked about some of the goings on in culture once again, then asked some questions of Eric Conn (hoping for helpful answers!), and finally toward the end looked at some issues regarding the debate with Tim Barber and my insistence that in the future my debate opponents not rely upon pre-written rebuttals and

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Had to spend 3/4 of the program responding to the amazing outpouring of, well, error and conspiracy and disrespect and nastiness on social media following the previous Dividing Line and my relatively short discussion on the meme mocking the Holocaust. Folks, there are serious, serious problems under the surface in a lot of Reformed churches. Beware! Keep an eye out!

Another Road Trip DL from Colorado

Started off with details about my upcoming debate with Tim Barber here in Colorado (Open Theism), the conference the next day, preaching on Sunday, and next week’s debate with Jared Longshore. Then had to discuss the degradation of the US’s political system, the obvious (and welcomed by the Marxists) foreign interference, etc. Also discussed a priest’s comments on mortal sin,

Started off with all the amazing developments since just last week in Western culture and in the US elections. Addressed the theory that the entire NT was originally written in Hebrew. Then started taking some great Twitter questions once again on a variety of topics. Headed to Colorado Springs tomorrow, should be doing another program on Thursday.

Road Trip Dividing Line: No, Seriously, STOP IT

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

More craziness today with people now going to Leviticus 8:23 and the placing of blood from the sacrifice of the ram on the right earlobe of Aaron, connecting this to Trump getting shot in the right ear. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s truly cultic, and we discussed it, along with other developments in the assassination attempt, Biden’s sudden
