Road Trip Dividing Line from Texas: Special Revelation, Natural Revelation, and Some Inseparable Operations

, , Oneness Pentecostalism, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Covered a bunch of topics suggested by social media interactions, including a discussion of special and general revelation, natural theology, and all that area of discussion, and then a brief look at Thomistic “inseparable operations” and its (unnecessary) complication of the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. Will plan to continue that topic tomorrow, Lord willing.

Open Phones for Almost 90 Minutes

, , Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Calls on all sorts of topics from folks hiding in their bunkers, including a call on the Trinity and how to encourage a church to take it more seriously, witnessing to a Mormon missionary who is headed home, Hebrews 7:25, and covenant theology. There was more, but Rich and I are too old to remember to jot down the topics!

, , Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Back to live streaming today (yay!). Covered, very quickly, the questions asked by Marcus Rogers in one of those “I’m going to prop my phone up on my dashboard in a parking lot” type videos regarding the Trinity. I was named specifically, so I responded specifically, though briefly. Then we looked at 2 Thess. 2:15 as quoted by Jay Dyer

Began a rainy DL today with an interaction with a Twitter user (@BlackRepublican) regarding the foundational issues of the faith (once again—and one of the calls from our brother Kofi raised the issue again later), and then moved on to a brief interaction with Dr. David Bernard of the UPCI on the Trinity and soteriology (Bernard is the leading theologian

Pope Francis’ Inclusivism and the Little Boy Reviewed, Open Phones, Many Topics

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Oneness Pentecostalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off looking carefully, and hopefully fairly, at the video of Pope Francis speaking to a young boy whose atheist father had died.  We examined the reality that Francis is an inclusivist, a person who clearly does not believe that explicit confession of faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation.  We likewise considered other issues relating to Roman Catholicism, the

A 90 minute edition of the DL today starting off looking at recent events primarily related to the Uber Sacrament of the Secularists, i.e., human child sacrifice, euphemistically called abortion.  Then we considered a mainly negative review of my debate with Adnan Rashid offered by Lizzie Schofield.  Finally we looked at the recent accusations brought by Jordan Hall relating to

A Little Molinism, and a Little Oneness

, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Reviewed a William Lane Craig video on the limitations inherent upon God due to “middle knowledge” during the first half hour, and then looked at key passages on the pre-incarnate existence of the Son as a divine Person in the second half hour.  Well, ok, we went like ten minutes long, but close enough!  No programs next week as I

Marcus Rodgers Video Reviewed, Jacob Prasch Attacks Again, ISIS Attacks the Cross

, , Exegesis, Islam, Oneness Pentecostalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a review of Marcus Rodgers’ video that mentioned me on the doctrine of the Trinity.  Then I was going to play portions of Jacob Prasch’s recent video, but ended up summarizing the issues for the sake of time.  Then quickly noted the ISIS attack upon the cross in their magazine titled Dabiq. Here is the YouTube link:

Went over some developments in the Orlando situation and once again had to address the insanity of asserting that there is only one monolithic Islam and that everything done in the world by anyone who yells “Allahu Akbar!” is to be held to the account of every single Muslim on the planet.  Then we noted the melt-down of Steve Hays

Started off with a guest, Rudolph Bushoff, from South Africa, talking about our May journey to South Africa (and we still need your help to get there!), and then tackled the Marcus Rogers video denying the Trinity.  Went just a little long, but hope it will be helpful to folks. Here is the YouTube link:

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Oneness Pentecostalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I was joined my Michael Brown today to discuss his new book, Outlasting the Gay Revolution.  I had read the book a few months ago, and it is now available.  We discussed the principles he lays out for a “multi-generational approach” to the subject.  We covered that during the first 45 minutes, and then we discussed two issues together, one a

Blurring the Dividing Line:The Legacy of Phillips,Craig and Dean

, , General Apologetics, Oneness Pentecostalism

This legacy article was written prior to 2006 by Eric Nielsen for Alpha & Omega Ministries. Some of the hyperlinks may no longer function, but the information is still correct. Their songs have been standards for years in Contemporary Christian Music. They have gained legions of appreciative fans among evangelicals with their well-written lyrics, beautiful harmonies, and high-quality production values.

The Prologue of the Gospel of John

, , General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism

Chapter 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was Deity. This verse provides the framework not only for the prologue that encompasses verses one through eighteen, but for the entire Gospel itself. The prologue functions, I believe, as an “interpretive window” for the entire Gospel. John means us to read

The Pre-existence of Christ In Scripture, Patristics and Creed

, , General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism

Introduction Our modern world is decidedly confused. On the one hand, the rationalistic, humanistic viewpoint dominates within our public education system. We are now taught to question the validity of anything that can be called “supernatural.” The very idea that someone might believe in miracles, revelation, etc., is opened up to direct ridicule. At the same time, in a direct

The following was first published as an information sheet around 1989.  Jesus Christ – the Lamb of Revelation (An Examination of the Relationship between God and the Lamb in the Book of Revelation) John the Apostle was privileged to see things far beyond what any man had seen before.

The Trinity, the Definition of Chalcedon, and Oneness Theology

, , Oneness Pentecostalism

I. Introduction The doctrine of the Trinity requires a balanced view of Scripture. That is, since the doctrine itself is derived from more than one stream of evidence, it requires that all the evidence be weighed and given authority. If any of the foundational pillars of the doctrine (monotheism, the deity of Christ, the person of the Holy Spirit, etc.)
