Vanishing Freedoms and More Interaction with Trent Horn on Church History

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First half an hour or so we talked about Covid and passports and freedoms and the like, then we moved into looking at Trent Horn’s response to a small portion of our discussion of his 2019 Catholic Answers talk on Protestant “distortions” of church history, focusing upon the idea of “the argument from silence.” Almost an hour and 45 minutes

Rebuttal of Hank Hanegraaff on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Over the weekend I was directed to a video presentation of Hank Hanegraaff not only promoting the perpetual virginity of Mary, but apologizing for having ever done otherwise. I felt it was appropriate, and actually necessary, to respond to his arguments. But, we started off with the historical background you will never hear from those promoting the belief. An hour

UN’s “Equiterra” Exposed, Trent Horn Response Continued

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

We looked at the UN’s strange, Marxist utopian vision in “Equiterra,” and pointed out that a biblical understanding of man exposes the foolishness of this humanistic vision. Then we took some time to dive into Acts 2:23 exegetically in light of the dispute that erupted over Dr. Buice’s comments about the crucifixion. Then we continued our response to Trent Horn’s

Radio Free Geneva: Atheists, William Lane Craig, Warren McGrew

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics

We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig’s comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with the assertion made by Warren McGrew that 2 Timothy 1:9 is

Various Woke Explosions, Tim Keller, then Trent Horn

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Managed to keep things relatively short today after yesterday’s two and a half hour marathon, going only an hour and twenty minutes today. Looked at various “woke explosions,” including the published commentary from Dr. Willie James Jennings of Yale on the book of Acts. Then we got back into Trent Horn’s presentation on church fathers from 2019, going into some

Judas and Open Theism, Preston Sprinkle and Pronoun Hospitality

, , Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Two portions to the program today, the first dealing with Warren McGrew and the question, “Could Judas have done the right thing and not betrayed Jesus?” in reference to Jesus’ self-identification in John 13:19. Interesting stuff! Then we looked at Preston Sprinkle’s new book, Embodied, and examined his defense of “pronoun hospitality.”

Thinking Presuppositionally, Brandan Robertson and Chris Fisher

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

How do we think presuppositionally? Today we took at look at two issues, one with Brandan Robertson and his “Jesus was a racist” video, and then on to a debate on Open Theism with Chris Fisher, and his amazing claim that Yahweh gains knowledge by “counting water” in Isaiah 40:12. Hopefully helpful examples and teaching!

Special Guest Tom Buck/1 Corinthians 1 and a Debate

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had our first “e-guest” in our new studio today, Dr. Tom Buck of the FBC, Lindale. We talked things SBC as well as about the book of Hebrews, how to preach it, who wrote it, etc. Then toward the end of the program I made some comments about the McGrew/Slick debate on “total depravity” (I just looked and it

A Tribute to Rushbo, Prayer for James Coates, Augustine and Zosimus

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Almost went two hours today (sorry!), but we went in depth in our response to Trent Horn on the subject of Augustine’s allegedly saying, “Rome has spoken, the case is closed.” That took up the vast majority of our time (including looking at the “I would not believe the gospel except for the testimony of the Catholic Church” quote), but

The Revisionist History of Homosexuality in the Bible Debunked, A Few Other Notes

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Went into the big studio today to use the board to nail down a full response to the currently viral story about the alleged history of the Bible and the meaning of arsenokoites at 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Timothy 1. Since this kind of falsehood gets passed around like candy corn on the playground before lunch, all Christians, but

Identity Christianity, Brandon Tatum and the Deity of Christ

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at the call for “discipline” of anyone who would dare to point out the completely appropriate, biblical example of “Jezebel” that Jesus Himself used in Revelation 2. The Woke Church’s departure from biblical orthodoxy is moving much faster than one would expect. But then I reviewed a 5 minute video by Brandon Tatum. I’m sorry, I had

Lewis’ “Prophecies,” Cosmic Reconciliation, the Beauty of Creation

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Jumbo edition today at ninety minutes covering some of the thoughts of C.S. Lewis on the coming technocracy, then finally getting back to Colossians 1 and “reconciliation” related to the atonement debate between Matt Slick and Sam Shamoun, and finishing up with a discussion of the beauty and order of God’s creation.

Who We are Subject To, and a Response to Jimmy Akin on Pope Francis

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first half hour discussing how Jesus, as King, subdues us unto Himself, and what practical meaning that will have in the coming months and years when Caesar demands our submission to him in opposition of Christ. Then I responded to a statement from Jimmy Akin on the topic of debates and specifically why I believe today’s Roman Catholic

An Incarnation Story (Prologue of John), Family Memories, Debate Challenges

, , Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Took a trip down memory lane to tell an “Incarnational Story,” in reality, to look at a key design element of the Prologue of John that has deep and important theological significance. Took a deep breath and didn’t try to rush today, just told stories and wove them into the narrative before discussing the Pope’s spin brigade. Then we talked

WEF’s Utopia, Live Not By Lies, the Slick v. Shamoun Debate

, , Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Could have easily gone for a mega version today, but closed it down at 1:45 in length so I could catch the Doug Wilson/Kurt Jaros debate live. Started off looking at The Great Reset, the WEF’s move to bring the entire world into a global, socialist technocracy, using a virus, and climate change, as the catalysts. Then we talked a

The Pope, the Red Pill, the Muslims, and John Piper

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

Pope Francis certainly gave us plenty to talk about and so we did, but connecting the current controversy to a wider reality about his beliefs. We then looked at Tim Staples trying to deal with the Roman Catholic view of Islam as found in Lumen Gentium 16, so if you are dealing with Roman Catholicism, this show should be helpful.

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If you are active in reaching out to our Roman Catholic friends and family members, this is an important program for you. We spent most of our time going deeply into a clip from CA Live on “tradition” in the Bible. Then we played a brief clip from the British Parliament on critical race theory that was real encouraging, and

Lots of Topics to Finish the Week!

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Zoomed through a ton of stuff on Covid-19, attacks on religious liberty, the big tech censorship at the start of the program. Reviewed Michael F. Bird’s article, then worked through Dr. Edmondson’s CT article as well, and finished up with a full refutation of Chris Thomas’ false accusation that I reject the first section of the LBCF. An hour and

Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden? The Real Issue with TR Onlyism

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Two topics on today’s 70 minute program: first, we look at the statement from a group called Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden, and demonstrate that the influence of neo-Marxism upon the Woke Church is truly profound. Then I did a lengthy review of the debate we did this weekend with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on the Critical Text vs. TR Only positions

Tons of Important Material Today!

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Covered a ton of important stuff today, including the work of the Ministry of Truth in editing and changing history, the jihad of the homosexuals in Cornwall, and a judge saying Grace Community, which has been meeting for weeks in worship, can’t. Then we moved to Jerry Walls’ “best argument against Catholicism,” and then finished up with a lengthy introductory

Upcoming Discussions and A Few Articles

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Just a reminder, our connection is due to be repaired on 9/11 (ironic, no?), so till then we have been stumbling and mumbling along with little real speed and connectivity. Our apologies! Talked about upcoming debates and discussions along with a few articles of important relevance in regards to Christian worldview issues today!

We Should Have Just Made This a Radio Free Geneva

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Spent some time at the start on the rise of woke religion, Pastor Warnock from Atlanta supporting the evil of abortion, etc., but the majority of the program was focused on key texts relating to election, atonement, and salvation, working through issues raised by a discussion I’ve been having with Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee. We worked

Swimming the Tiber, Hosea 11:1 in the LXX, Frank Turek on Molinism

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent a good portion of time talking about why people “swim the Tiber” in light of Cameron Bertuzzi’s stating that he is closer than he has ever been to embracing Rome’s claims (though, he says, he is still “far away”). Realized while we were doing the program that this month marks the 30th anniversary of my first public debate which

James Cone’s Children, Then In-Depth on the Immaculate Conception

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent just a few minutes at the start on the video of a black Baptist pastor applying the words of Isaiah 53 to John Lewis, explaining how this is perfectly consistent with Black Liberation Theology as developed by James Cone. Then got into a lengthy church history segment focusing upon the historical development of the Immaculate Conception and why any

Started off with a brief clip from the now famous Todd White sermon from two days ago, then talked a bit about Timothy Cho’s tweets, one on the nuclear family, the other on face masks. I spent a few minutes going over my arguments on the mask mandates in response. Briefly talked about a student kicked out of student government
