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

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

Tobias Speaks, So Finally, So Can I

, , Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

I promised Tobias Riemenschneider I would hold off on responding to the tsunami of ignorance-based, infantile slander on social media until he could speak his own mind, which he has now done. So, here is my commentary, and I am glad to get this over with. Very few times in my ministry have I had to wade through this kind

Road Trip DL: Responding to the Backlash on Mocking the Holocaust, Plus a Little Olympics Commentary

, , 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!

Road trip DL from Colorado Springs prior to the debate on Saturday. Covered a wide variety of topics, but spent most of our time reading from Augustine and dealing with his use of the LXX, early translations, etc.

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

Pelagian Pope, Two Part Romans Utterly Refuted

, , Church History, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the Pope’s comments on 60 Minutes, and then dove into a refutation of Brent Lay’s “Two Part Romans” theory (originated in 2013) that is being promoted by Jason Breda in a series of videos. The entire theory is based upon an alleged “ambiguous antecedent” in Romans 1:13, except, there is no such construction there, the antecedent is

Eschatological Madness about Israel, Further Review of Muhammed Hijab

, , Debate, Eschatology, Islam, Personal, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized, Unitarianism

Caught up on a few items on a special DL today. Read through a long message from Twitter that is a good warning about how some eschatologies can become downright dangerous, and then moved back to reviewing aspects of Muhammed Hijab’s opening remarks in the Trinity/Tawhid debate.

New Year “Laws” in California Show Deep Commitment to the Culture of Death

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Talked about more than that, but it was a major portion of my thinking as I started off with Jordan Peterson’s announcement that the tyrants in charge of “psychology” in Canada want to send him off to a “training camp” to punish him for wrong-think. It is all theology: the culture of death vs. the culture of life. Climate, all

The Decline of Mormonism, John 17:5 and a Lot of Replies to Critics

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Mormonism, Offense, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Since I am in Cedar City, Utah, I started off the program with a discussion of the decline of Mormonism, its reasons, and how we need to be praying to be used of God to bring light to the darkness. Then I had to dive into some of the amazing things being claimed, asserted, and just plain lied about regarding

Two Responses, More Than Two Hours

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Molinism, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I chose to provide two responses on the program today, hoping that both would provide opportunities for teaching and, by refutation, edification of the saints. The first, which took up most of our time, was a response to about ten relevant points (and those were about all) in the 2 hour, 45 minute video posted recently from Tim Stratton and

Catching Up on Events

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We covered the waterfront today to be sure, looking at all sorts of topics from Twitter and other sources, statements from seminary professors, people promoting the woke church, you name it. 90 minutes of Christian worldview application, starting off with a little jingle from John Cooper about “Woke Christmas.”

Richard Dawkins and Diane Gaskins: A Study in Seeking Consistency and Fairness

, , Atheism, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at the comments of Richard Dawkins from his relatively new book, Outgrowing God, wherein he demonstrates a fundamental unwillingness to accurately represent the object of his disdain, that being Christianity. Then we began looking at Diane Gaskins’ article attacking Rosaria Butterfield. We will continue that analysis on the next program.

A Study in Projection: Responding to JD Hall

, , Offense, Personal, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Tis the season to have to respond to another low in internet “polemics,” and so we did, responding to JD Hall’s show, which featured a picture he trolled from my social media feed, “James White is What Would Happen if Ignorance and Arrogance Had a Love Child.” Yep, that’s the title, and the substance matched the same level of childishness.

China’s Totalitarianism, Union Theological Seminary Invites You to Apostacy, 1 Timothy 6

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Offense, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yes, I know, I said open phones, but I forgot to address the developments in China yesterday even though it was the first thing on my list. And then I ran across Union Theological Seminary’s invitation to apostasy, and I really needed to work through that as well.  Read a little bit from a Brannon Howse show that will make

Remembering RC, Then, Refuting More Textual Traditionalism

, , Church History, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off playing a half hour interview from 2008 with RC Sproul remembering and celebrating a wonderful gift to Christ’s church.  Then we completely shifted gears and got into the issues raised by A James White Christmas Carol, an animation movie about Luke 23:34 that is desperately dishonest at its base (regarding the false accusation of my attacking David Wood,

Brannon Howse: When You Combine Abject Dishonesty, Conspiratorialism, and Sub-Biblical Theology

, , Christian Worldview, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Simply Silly, Uncategorized

So Brannon Howse is busy going after men who used to be on his network.  It’s his way or the highway, obviously, and as with so many, either you are for me, or you are against me.  There’s no adiaphora in Howse’s world.  It is all black and white, always. Today Justin Peters spoke at the conference going on back

Reformation Tour, Allen Debate Invitation, Rome and Mary, and More

, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Covered a pretty wide range today, starting with Mike O’Fallon talking about the upcoming Reformation Tour in Europe in September.  Then we moved on to my debate invitation for David Allen.  Then we played a video from Catholic Answers on why Mary is called “woman” by Jesus, demonstrating what happens when you deny sola scriptura.  Then we looked at a Muslim

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:

No Creator, No Humanity, or, Of Apes and Men

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Misc, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Had to tackle the gorilla story, along with the “I decided to live as a goat” story, all illustrative of what happens when your society spits in God’s face and goes it alone.  Then talked a little about ReformCon this week and what I will be addressing, and finished up with a bit of a discussion about the exposure of

Twitter Questions, The Boss, The Pope, and More Ethnic Gnosticism

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off today with a couple of Twitter questions (including one on Eastern Orthodoxy),  then covered Springsteen’s view of transgender warriors as “freedom fighters,” the Pope’s “studied ambiguity” in his new statement, and toward the end of the hour I responded to BlackCalvinist’s piece accusing me of…well, all sorts of things, actually. Here is the YouTube link:

The Mount of Transfiguration, of Internet Trolls, and the Protevangelium of James

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Started off with a look at the Mt. of Transfiguration from a little different angle, one that might shed some light on why Moses and Elijah were there. Then, unfortunately, I had to deal with a particularly pernicious and reprehensible Internet troll’s lies and slander, but tried to make an application in seeing the danger of cultic KJVOism.  Then I

Total Insanity at the Start, then on to Important Issues about Secularism, Homosexuality, and Regeneration

, , Exegesis, Homosexuality, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a 75 minute program today, starting off with the looniest video I’ve ever seen aimed at me from a small Romanist cult up in New York.  Then we moved on to the “God Isn’t Fixing This” headline, an article on the TGC blog about homosexuality, and finally a brief review of Paul Copan’s article on regeneration and faith.  Enjoy!

Yes, Perry, Hebrew Has Multiple Words that Mean “Command”; and Uber Confident Devin Rose Demands I Own a Time Machine

, , Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent most of the hour today analyzing Perry Noble’s Christmas Eve sermon—which he seems to believe he was commanded to preach by God in some revelatory fashion—wherein he gave us a new, improved, and oh so much more friendly set of Ten Commandments—now the Ten Promises.  All because some guy he knows in Israel told him there is no word
