A clip from Leighton Flowers comparing the Bible and the Qur’an (from four years ago!) popped up and that resulted in a tweet from LF about debating the topic.

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Rich worked hard to work on the audio challenges we have had in the past and the changes made it a lot easier for me to play video clips on the program today. So, we looked at Jeff Durbin’s exchange with the Jewish representative in Georgia, and responded to Joel Webbon’s criticism of that exchange. Then we looked at some

, , Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, The Dividing Line

As promised on today’s program I read through The Acts of Paul and Thecla, commented on the Orthodox veneration of Thecla as a saint and “equal of the Apostles,” and what we can learn about the context of the origination of this apocryphal mythology from the second century. By the way, here is the article I mentioned from the OCA

I Told You the Sacralists Were Coming, Didn’t I?

, , Abortion, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

So Joel Webbon dropped a webcast about how the State is to correct the Church, and how this has been normative throughout church history. Well, do forgive me, but I’ve always opposed sacralism, still do, always will, and the errors and holes in the presentation, historically and logically, were big enough for me to drive my big GMC through, so,

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

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

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.

Caught a few of the amazing stories coming out about how the left has used the US treasury as their own private slush fund, then moved on to a couple of tweets I forgot to cover Tuesday, one from Stephen Wolfe about a biblical theology of climate change, the other from Eric Conn about my desperation and irrelevance.

Hardly surprising, but I disagreed!

Stone Choir Cult Attacks Plus More

, , Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Ken Wilson, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went a full 90 minutes today starting with Corey Mahler and the Stone Choir Cult’s attack on my last evening, followed up by Mahler’s amazing promotion of Marcion’s gnosticism. I used his false statements about the name Yahweh to go into church history and trace the damage that was done by the loss of the knowledge of Hebrew and how

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
