Dr. Turek on Calvinism Taking the “Easy” Way, Pope Francis, and Others You’d Never Expect, Say “Go to Thomas!”

, , Church History, Open Theism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Responded to a brief clip of Dr. Frank Turek talking with Leighton Flowers about Calvinists and evangelism, and then read an article on Pope Francis telling everyone to “go to Thomas.” This led to a lengthy discussion of further developments in the Thomistic Downgrade amongst the Reformed. An hour and 15 minutes.

Deconstructed Baptists, Another Confusing Keller Tweet, Second Run at John 6.

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Uncategorized

Talked a bit about current events amongst the Southern Baptists, including the vicious attacks from “deconstructed” Baptists (i.e., apostates). We discussed another confusing tweet from Tim Keller, and then I took the time to back up and re-do the discussion on John 6 from the last program. Much clearer, organized, and understandable this time! No technical juggling this time around!

A Few Thoughts on the Crush of the World, Responses to Pullmann/Hess

, , Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started with a few thoughts on the craziness of the world today and how difficult it is to remain focused with the rush of news, war, etc. Then I started responding to some more of the Pallmann/Hess review, trying to use both my Audio Notetaker program (which we have been fighting recently with sound issues) and Accordance. And though it

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva!

, , Church History, Debate, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Our first road trip version of Radio Free Geneva! I guess we could have done it on the program yesterday, too, but I did not think of it till I was driving today. So I had forgotten to deal with an important part of Tim Stratton’s presentation yesterday, so I wanted to get to that, and there were some developments

Road Trip Debate Review, Quick Comments on Pallmann/Hess Review

, , Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Out in the middle of Texas somewhere near I-10 at a pretty nice little RV park (it is a former KOA, but now has a nice little cafe that just provided me with a very tasty, fresh cheeseburger) that I will definitely visit again in the future. I pushed myself to get here in time to do a DL and

Yet another Road Trip Dividing Line, of course, this time looking at a clip of Ed Shaw on how his homosexuality has made him “more like Jesus,” a quick listen to the opening of a “book review” of the “low hanging fruit” book called The Potter’s Freedom, a quick response to Leighton Flowers thinking that there is no difference between

John 6 Rescued from Leighton’s Scissors, then Jordan Peterson’s Amazing Statement

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Greetings from cold Springfield, Missouri! A road-trip edition of the Dividing Line as I caught a part of the Hughes/Flowers debate on John 6:44. Had to point out the basic error in Flowers’ approach, though we will do much more on that when I can download the video. Then we listened to a recent statement by Jordan Peterson on the

Aquinas Invades the Reformed Baptists, Tim Stratton Continued

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Well, I really was not trying to make today’s program a pre-view of what is upcoming for my students when teaching Church History and Apologetics, but, we did cover that area. First portion of the program was a bit “in house,” discussing the rise of Thomism in the midst of Reformed Baptists, so that some are accusing myself and Jeff

, , Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Molinism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

It was nice not to have to run a “words you can’t say in 2021 in the US” filter today as we were not live streaming on YouTube. Discussed the spike protein, selection pressure, Fauci’s constant lies, etc., as the Omicron Craze sweeps the nation. Briefly commented on the oral arguments from yesterday on the SC abortion case, was dragged

Yes, Lillibell, We Did Another Radio Free Geneva, and It Was Two Hours Long!

, , Church History, Debate, King James Onlyism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Well, it was actually OVER two hours long, and I still did not finish up, but we made good progress. First I responded to Evangelist Ted Alexander’s comments wherein he not only identified Reformed theology as fundamentally Roman Catholic, but said I am a Catholic, and a plant in the church, etc. and etc. So, we demonstrated he is suffering

Clearing the Table Before Tomorrow’s Radio Free Geneva

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Since we are doing a major length Radio Free Geneva tomorrow, I needed to “clear the table” of the topics that have been piling up in my topics list. So we really covered the gamut, starting off with my thanks for having shared a great time with Skillet as they visited Phoenix last Friday. WE discussed the veneration of vaccines,

Being Reformed, Provisionism in Rome, Aquinas in Geneva

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

Covered a range of items today but mainly looked at comments from the Provisionists on the nature of grace, and then looked at a defense of the new “Reformed Thomism” as well. Went nearly 80 minutes.

Road Trip #2 Live from Conway, Arkansas

, , Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The second evening of the mini Conference on the solas is just 90 minutes away so we snuck a quick program from the AO Mobile Command in talking about the trip, what’s coming up at G3 and elsewhere, and responding to Soteriology 101’s paid advertising campaign looking to get “converts from Calvinism.” I wandered all over the landscape, to be

Radio Free Geneva (90 Minutes), Further Topics

, , Abortion, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Stumbled on a Soteriology 101 video asking if I am “right” about Matthew 23:37, so we dealt pretty fully with that new presentation for the first ninety minutes, then touched upon some other topics including Bart Barber’s amazing defense of Ed Litton. Mega edition, two full hours! I head out on Road Trip #2, heading for G3, so programs for

A Multi-Faceted Program

Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer’s claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they were creepy). Talked about Leighton Flowers a bit, and Rich tells

Is John 6 Only About the Apostles?

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

Today we examined this article by Eric Kemp (following the claims of someone named Drew McLeod) that tries to argue that John 6 is only about the Apostles, and is not relevant to anyone alive today. We have examined many dozens of attempts to get around the teachings of John 6 over the years, and this one ranks right down

Travel, Worldview, Flowers and Open Theism

I’m not overly good at titling these things, am I? Started off telling everyone about our new travel initiative and the coming “A&O Travel Rig,” which will involve a 5th wheel RV and the truck to pull it. We will start talking to churches real soon so as to get as much ministry benefit from traveling as possible. So, I

Pope Francis and Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Kyle James Howard Woke-Breaks Marriage, Jesus Wasn’t a Puppet

, , Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I started to get into Pope Francis’ comments on Mary as co-redemptrix with Christ when I discovered that the Keynote presentation I had cued up included a picture of me and Gerry Matatics in the studio at WEZE in Boston from (someone hand me the Geritol) 1993, so I took the time to give all the background to the story.

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

Two And A Half Hours? What?

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Open Theism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Yeah, well, there you go! And another program tomorrow! Stuff started piling up, so, we went long. Started off with Cambridge, MA legalizing polyamory, discussed what is motivating this degradation of the entire culture, discussed Rome’s refusal to bless same-sex marriages, and looked at bit at the centrality of a Christian worldview. Then transitioned into Michael Lofton’s opening statement in

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!

A Review and Refutation of Provisionist Confusion

, , Pauline Studies, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I did a quick teaching DL from home today to respond to the following meme (and briefly to one other that I don’t want to display). I tried to use a little screen annotation app I grabbed to do a little “Flip Board without the Flip Board” exegesis in Ephesians 1 to once again expose the man-centeredness of Provisionism’s vain

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

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

For some reason I kept giving really long, in-depth answers to all our callers today, but the questions were worthy of the answers. We looked at the canon of Scripture, the Synoptic gospels and how to deal with conflicts, the consistency of the Old Testament Scriptures, Jesus’ role as Intercessor, and Kevin Thompson and the elect. At the very end

Nebuchadnezzar Knew

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

First 35 minutes was based on Daniel 4 and what Nebuchadnezzar learned from his animal experience. God is God, we are His creatures, and that is one of the most important truths we can know and live by. Then we looked at the push-back against Pastor Williamson and his church in the UK for daring to believe what Jesus taught.

Issues About the Viral Panic, then John 6…the Rest of the Story

, , Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

First forty-five minutes or so we looked at all sorts of issues relating to the current cultural situation, from Nancy Pelosi showing how the elites make rules for others they do not follow for themselves, to polls about vaccines, and especially the “6%” story I posted about here a few days ago. But eventually we moved into John 6, but

Able or slave? Then the Broke Woke Church

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off listening to a few moments of Leighton Flowers interacting with Jeff Durbin’s presentation of total depravity—only played a few sentences, honestly, because that was all we needed to do. Dove into the text and let its message speak for itself. Then we looked at statements from Jemar Tisby, Anthony Bradley, and Beth More, all presenting the religion of

A Remote Dividing Line that Did Not Look Remote

Felt it would be wise to test our new technology before I do the Apologetics Roundtable tomorrow evening, so we did the program that way and I must say, it turned out well! A little warm (I am set up in the warmest room in my house, well, at least during the summer—surely the coolest for the few weeks of

Radio Free Geneva: The Choice Meats Analygesis of Leighton Flowers in John 10

, , Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Primarily focused upon comments made by Leighton Flowers on the 180 Cast with Georgi Boorman regarding John 10 and the “sheep” that are referenced therein. We did touch briefly upon Ephesians 1 as well, but the bulk of the time was spent on John 10. Enjoy!
