Jay Dyer Implodes on the Playground; Yes, Joe, Bishop and Elder are the Same Office

, , Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

About halfway through the program we had a power spike due to a storm blowing into Phoenix, but we got it all recorded anyway. First I dealt with the amazing explosion of infantile behavior by one Jay Dyer when I dared actually treat him like an adult in challenging him to defend Nicea II in debate. You won’t believe his

Excited to be home, but excited to head out in just a matter of weeks for the “Louisiana Loop” that will take me to southern Louisiana for a debate on April 4th, and then to northern Louisiana for a debate on the 10th. Talked a bit about last weekend’s debates as well.

The Ignatian Strawman Extinguished

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Though I really wasn’t feeling well after I arrived here in Amarillo, I felt it was absolutely necessary to address the amazingly dishonest attacks that have been launched against me about a single cross-examination question from Saturday night’s debate. So we did a full dive into Ignatius, his writings, the issues with the transmission of those writings, forgeries, you name

Mainly covered the upcoming debates, how to properly encourage someone interested in pursuing apologetics, foundational issues, etc., and then talked a bit about Gavin Ortlund and his videos, and the recent discussion about the canon of Scripture, the Deuterocanonical books, etc. Not sure about when we will be able to do programs next week, to be honest, as I drive

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Snuck a quick program in today before teaching at the seminary this evening, talking about developments with what seems like the soon passing of Pope Francis, etc. Then we briefly discussed recent conversations concerning Cameron Bertuzzi, a convert to Romanism, and his claim that the supposed appearances of Mary at Zeitoun, Egypt, decades ago provide better evidence for the Christian

Still in Phoenix! Why? Explained. Then: More Developments in Rome

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Explained why I am still here in Phoenix when I was supposed to leave today (I leave tomorrow). But mainly we focused on Pope Francis as well as a video clip attacking sola scriptura. If Francis passes, will you be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities to bear witness to the gospel of grace? This episode might help!

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Went for a jumbo edition today in the big studio with the big board! Commented briefly about the Roman Catholic penitential procession video that made the rounds a few days ago, then we looked at Stephen Wolfe’s lengthy tweet about the term “worldview” and how we would be better off abandoning it. Hardly surprising, but I disagreed!

I was said to be part of the “PWC crowd” in a statement this morning by a young social media type guy, so we looked at what the PWC is, a bit about R.R. Reno, stuff like that, then switched over to Jeremiah chapter ten and some great jewels provided in God’s glorious Scriptures.

The Andrew Tate Saga Isn’t That Tough, Then, the Alleged Seventh Ecumenical Council (787)

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Pastoral Theology, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Is Andrew Tate “sinning in the right direction?” I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean, but we spent some time talking about Andrew Tate and the fascinating interaction Christians have been having with him. Then we just about burned the clutch out by shifting over to a discussion of “Ecumenical Councils” and specifically the so-called 7th

, , Debate, Mormonism, Personal, Resources, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line

A listener sent in the printed schedule of my events from my trip to New York in April of 1998, which I read through as evidence of the fact that Chris Arnzen tried to kill me back then! After a bit of that we looked at some Marian devotion issues relating to the gospel, and then focused in on the

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

Pre-Advent Dividing Line

, , Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

One of the first things I said to Rich when we finished this program was, “How am I going to type THAT ONE up?” and he laughed. So let’s see. Talked about Biden’s disgusting “let’s burn it all down before we leave” campaign of pardons and commutations, Muslim hatred, a super cool Christmas card from a family in our church,

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

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

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

Couldn’t avoid a few brief comments on the Steve Lawson issue that came to light today at the start of the program.

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

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

Rome and Mary: the Sad Reality

, , Abortion, Church Fathers, Church History, Misc, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After running our raffle and determining the winner of the wonderful Derek Melton blade, and after I spent some time talking about a neat and encouraging gift from a young man at Apologia, we turned to Roman Catholicism, Pope Francis, and the entire complex of Marian doctrines that are so utterly destructive to the gospel and to Christian experience. We

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.

I am thankful that Twitter was not taken down by today’s huge IT crash/failure, since we took our questions from our audience, and they were great questions! We will definitely have to do it this way in the future when I am traveling (much less technically challenging than trying to take calls when I am remote). Covered a wide variety
