Continued our response to Trent Horn’s “Protestant Distortions of Church History” lecture from 2019, delving into the Didache, priesthood, and Irenaeus, and likewise discussing proposed debate topics with Catholic Answers.
Started off with a reminder that we are fast approaching (later this week) the 500th anniversary of Luther’s appearance at the Diet of Worms, and discussed the significance of that. Then we covered a few topics like Marty Duren’s hit-piece on Faultlines by Voddie Baucham and the coming vaccine passports (in light of the volcanic eruption down in the Caribbean),
Just had to talk about the tyranny of the government in Alberta, Canada and the closure of Grace Life Church. Two sets of fences have been placed around the building and while the same government lets child predators loose into the community they are expending manpower guarding against those horrible Christians who might meet and sing praises to God and
We looked at the UN’s strange, Marxist utopian vision in “Equiterra,” and pointed out that a biblical understanding of man exposes the foolishness of this humanistic vision. Then we took some time to dive into Acts 2:23 exegetically in light of the dispute that erupted over Dr. Buice’s comments about the crucifixion. Then we continued our response to Trent Horn’s
Discussed the promise of Scripture, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet,” and considered how we have to think past surface level conclusions so we can truly understand the point. Then we started looking at various “wokeplosions” (and there are many), finishing up with Jemar Tisby’s joining Ibram Kendi at the Anti-Racism Center, and what this
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.
Spent nearly two hours in the AOMax studio today diving into the issues surrounding the proper translation and understanding of John’s testimony to Jesus in his Gospel, prompted by the exchange between Anthony Rogers and Brandon Tatum on Instagram, found here.
Just one topic today as we had one guest, Dr. Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute up in Canada, pastor of the Westminster Chapel, and author of The Mission of God. Important topics of discussion for ninety minutes!
Went over a number of smaller items, Tweets and the like, at the start of the program, but eventually focused in on Ibram Kendi’s presentation at a church recently wherein he described the difference between Liberation Theology and what he called Savior Theology, and how to be an “antiracist” is to reject Savior Theology. He made these comments while seated
So Jory Micah says she will be more than happy to send the FBI after me (and Johnny Mac and Doug Wilson—not sure how I got top billing, but I know Doug is wondering, too) for promoting “hate” amongst young men (I think she was trying to blame me for the Atlanta area sex addiction shooter, but as with all
Managed to keep things relatively short today after yesterday’s two and a half hour marathon, going only an hour and twenty minutes today. Looked at various “woke explosions,” including the published commentary from Dr. Willie James Jennings of Yale on the book of Acts. Then we got back into Trent Horn’s presentation on church fathers from 2019, going into some
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
Two portions to the program today, the first dealing with Warren McGrew and the question, “Could Judas have done the right thing and not betrayed Jesus?” in reference to Jesus’ self-identification in John 13:19. Interesting stuff! Then we looked at Preston Sprinkle’s new book, Embodied, and examined his defense of “pronoun hospitality.”
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!
Had a great time talking with John Cooper of Skillet today about his book, life, music, regrets, and victories. Really encouraging. Having some blocking issues (we played some music and the algorithms got us again!) but they should be cleared up fairly quickly since we submitted the clearance for them many hours before we did the show.
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
I was joined by Dr. Stephen Boyce of City Light Church who has been doing a great deal of in-depth study into “1 Clement,” and we spent over an hour delving into this wonderful early Christian writing. Enjoy!
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
Looked at a bunch of stuff today, though mainly focusing on Dwight McKissic and his refusal to answer my direct question relating to Kamala Harris and officiating at a “profaning of marriage” ceremony. Also looked at a few other notables, such as Jory Micah. But kept it mainly to one hour, with a brief “happy birthday” to Chris Hohnholz at
Almost went two hours today (sorry!), but we went in depth in our response to Trent Horn on the subject of Augustine’s allegedly saying, “Rome has spoken, the case is closed.” That took up the vast majority of our time (including looking at the “I would not believe the gospel except for the testimony of the Catholic Church” quote), but
Went long today, so get a deep seat in the proverbial saddle! Spent quite some time on the Max Lucado debacle wherein he apologizes for having spoken the truth 17 years ago—a truth that is now “hurtful.” Then we moved on to the Ravi Zacharias scandal and developments therein. Finally I finished up with about half an hour on last
The title hard does it justice. Covered a lot of ground, including Bill C6 in Canada, the Victorian legislation in Australia, Jake Tapper tweeted an absurd hit piece on Tom Buck, Karen Swallow Prior vowing to never vote for a Republican again, LeCrae and non-partisan performances, Baylor collapsing to the LGBTQ revolution, Disney firing Gina Carano, the Religion of the
Went into the big studio today to use the board to nail down a full response to the currently viral story about the alleged history of the Bible and the meaning of arsenokoites at 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Timothy 1. Since this kind of falsehood gets passed around like candy corn on the playground before lunch, all Christians, but
Responded to an article (hit piece) in Relevant Magazine once again on the “Jezebel” issue, looked at an attorney’s comments about homeschooling, and then looked at how King James Onlyism undercuts our ability to really defend Scripture, looking at Acts 8:37 using our Flip board in the “big studio.” Had a few audio hiccups, as to be expected, but we
Went a long time today (1:45) and covered a lot of ground. Started off responding to JD Greear’s joining of the “don’t point out the worldview of the new regime, and especially of Kamala Harris, stands directly in parallel with that of Jezebel, let alone proclaim that judgment will come upon all who promote such rebellion in our day” group
Started off looking at the call for “discipline” of anyone who would dare to point out the completely appropriate, biblical example of “Jezebel” that Jesus Himself used in Revelation 2. The Woke Church’s departure from biblical orthodoxy is moving much faster than one would expect. But then I reviewed a 5 minute video by Brandon Tatum. I’m sorry, I had
Did a thorough review of a United Methodist woman’s claims about the Bible and homosexuality, working through key texts. Then listened to what Dr. MacArthur said about postmillenialism and “losing down here,” and offered a response. Hope we get to do another program, but must admit, we said more than enough on this one program to have us removed in
Pulled the trigger on our new studio today and it went pretty well! Glad to have a few folks here to help us get through the first run without too many hiccups. I was able to use our Flip board and work through the text of the two key passages, make some application, and then move on to a discussion
Talked a lot about some of the amazing statements being made after the installation of the new regime in Washington. Looked at statements from Lecrae, Charlie Dates, and Anthony Bradley as well, especially as the latter two attacked Virgil Walker. Also looked at Russell Moore’s article on how to pray on inauguration day. Had to record and upload as the
As we watch with amazement the rapid transformation of Western culture in our day the question is: how do we remain faithful? I truly shared my heart today as I looked at an article about how the Chinese Communist Party “re-educates” Uighur Muslims and used it as a basis for laying out some basics for all of us at this
Spent some necessary time looking at “the Pope Video I,” Francis’ recent video promoting a kind of squishy ecumenical message that while consistent with some trajectories from Vatican II is certainly not consistent with historic Roman Catholic theology. Then we looked at some questions regarding Mormonism, focusing on the idea of the priesthood and the concept of prophets. Mentioned a
