Rutgers’ Racist Professor, More Muhammed Hijab, and the Neo-Socinian Nonsense Again

, , Debate, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Back in Phoenix in our regular studio, so we looked briefly at the racist Rutgers professor and “white folks,” then we spent about twenty minutes responding to more of Muhammed Hijab’s opening statement against the Trinity, and then listened to a few minutes of the “Coffee House Sessions” webcast on the modern state of Reformed Baptist and Robert Briggs’ accusation

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva: Only the Apostles were Predestined!

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

Managed to do an RFG while on the road as I do long days to get home to Phoenix. Took the time to explain and refute Nick Craig’s “in depth” interpretation of Ephesians that tells us that verses 3 through 12 are only about the Apostles, not about regular believers. Then we looked at little bit at Acts 13:48, and

Road Trip Shorter DL: Conclusion of Longshore Response

, , Baptism, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

I’ve changed my travel plans home so I will be spending long hours in the saddle to get home a day earlier, so I wanted to finish up this response in case we are not able to sneak any programs on till late next week. Only about forty minutes today, but we finished up our review of Jared’s response article,

Poor Jared…Yes, Back to the Response

, , Baptism, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Just a few brief comments on Catholicism at the start, then back to Hebrews and Jared’s article. We are, at least, getting into the nitty gritty of what the real issues are, so, I hope that is helpful. Tomorrow is a travel day for me, so I won’t be able to do another program until I am headed home next

A Little Francis, But Mainly Responding to Jared Longshore

, , Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Commented on the Pope’s continued promotion of the climate fraud, and his connecting it to “the culture of death,” but spent most of the time responding to Jared Longshore on the Hebrews 8 issue. Did not finish, but hope to later in the week. Asked for comments on Twitter from listeners as to whether you want more of this kind

Responding to a Roman Catholic Convert

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Though I touched briefly on a Soteriology 101 tweet at the end of the show, the vast majority was directed to responding to Joshua T. Charles and his presentation of Newman’s “development hypothesis” as the answer to my Nicea question. A lot is going on in Rome these days, and we need to keep up if we wish to be

Wimpy, Weak and Woke: John Cooper Joins us to Talk About His New Book

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent a little over an hour with John Cooper today talking about his new book, Wimpy, Weak and Woke (available at johnlcooper.com though the Kindle is already available at Amazon). Talked eschatology and law and culture and the future and hope and what we need to be praying for as far as mercy from God! As always a pleasure to

Too Many Topics Today To Remember!

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Molinism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Went for an hour and forty minutes or so and covered a lot of topics, I must confess! Mainly focused on finishing up our response to Jason Breda on John 6 and his confusion about Greek verbs, participles, tenses, you name it. Did that, and then played a clip from Frank Turek claiming Calvinism is contradictory, and then a clip

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.

Quick Thoughts on Ohio and the Pope, then Continuation of Radio Free Geneva

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Said more than I wanted to say about Ohio and the Papacy (will actually say more tomorrow on a special third edition of the DL for the week) at the opening, then jumped into Radio Free Geneva (about 20 minutes in) and continued our review/response of Jason Breda.

Jeff Durbin on Ohio and Equal Protection, Muhammad Hijab’s Opening Presentation

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Jumbo edition of the program, basically two 45 minute segments. The first featured Jeff Durbin from his rental car in parts unknown talking with us about his work with End Abortion Now, the Ohio situation, the ERLC, and he and his wife adopting two premie baby girls. In the second I started playing Muhammad Hijab’s opening comments from a 2018

Radio Free Geneva: Jason Breda on John 6, Part I

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

An hour and 45 minutes on Radio Free Geneva today, starting to look at Jason Breda’s video “exegeting” John 6. Brother Breda claims to have been “a Calvinist for ten years,” and is now producing videos exposing this “lie of the enemy.” Well, he attempted to walk through John 6 (give him credit!), and we are reviewing that attempt. Had

Dr. Downer Does Reformation Day, and Lots More

, , Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Homosexuality, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with the truth about 10/31/1517 (nobody at the time had any idea anything important had happened), which earned me the name “Dr. Downer” from Jeff Durbin last night at church. Then we talked about the recent Synod in Rome and the truly massive implications this has for Roman claims of authority, etc. Then we addressed this article from

Zach Lambert’s Sermon Concluded

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Took two complete programs to do it, but we finished looking at Zach Lambert’s sermon on “Homophobia and Transphobia,” getting to the part where the Bible finally was referred to: and twisted into a pretzel. It is truly hard to listen to “progressivists” engage in societal eisegesis, but we sure got our fill in today’s 1:50 minute long program.

Zach Lambert’s Sermon, “Homophobia and Transphobia,” Response Part 1

, , Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

As promised I began playing the entirety of Zach Lambert’s sermon, preached early last year, about “Homophobia and Transphobia.” He had linked to it as representative of his position, and in the opening of the sermon he says he spent more time preparing for that sermon than any other, so it seems fair to address it. It is a classic

Doug Wilson’s Response to Riley, Taylor Marshall and Justification

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

On the last program I said I hoped Doug Wilson would respond to Michael Riley’s article on a Van Tillian response to Christian Nationalism, and lo and behold, he did just that. So, we took the time to look it over and comment on it. Then we looked at a Taylor Marshall tweet denying the imputed righteousness of Christ and

They Are Changing the NT! Plus a Lot on CN

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Tale of two programs today, sort of. First 35 minutes or so were on Jeffery Riddle claiming they will be changing the NT in 200 places in the upcoming (24/25) NA29th edition, and what that is all about. Discussed ECM/CBGM, etc. For those interested in textual issues, you will enjoy that portion. Then we switched over to the “Christian Nationalism”

More on Relevant Islamic Beliefs, Response to Challenges from Islamic Debater

, , Debate, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Given the continuing conflict in the Middle East, we looked at the comments from the head of Hamas, looked at the concept of “the world at war” and “the world at peace,” and then worked through a short clip of a Muslim debater arguing against the clarity of the Christian Scriptures. Then finished with a response to the explosion of

Pope Francis, Andy Stanley, and Stephen Wolfe Walk into a Bar….

, , Church History, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Believe it or not, there really is a connection between all of that, and an important one. And we covered it all on an hour and 45 minute program today that was delayed 15 minutes while Rich ran around with his hair on fire finding a way to get the sound from my laptop to work! But we covered the

Final Road Trip DL for Now! Mainly a Review of a “Former Calvinist” and His Handling of Scripture

, , Debate, Exegesis, Ken Wilson, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Last program from the road, should be home next week in our regular studios. Talked a bit about Doug Wilson’s blog article in response to Owen Strachan, though I mostly discussed the “Memorials” issue from that article. Then I played sections from two videos from a “former Calvinist,” Jason Breda, and considered why those who leave a movement struggle to

I think I am somewhere in North Carolina, on my way to Atlanta for G3. Have a bit of a preview of what will be upcoming there, and then reviewed the debate I had with Dr. Gregory Coles on Saturday afternoon, discussing the language and terminology issues relevant to “Side B” advocates of “Gay Christianity.”

Back on the Road from Albuquerque: Reflections on a Quarter Century of Responding to Homosexual Argumentation

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I hot footed it over here to Albuquerque this morning to be on Iron Sharpens Iron with Chris Arnzen, and so I continued the topic (since it was on my mind) on this program. Looked at 1 Cor. 6 and Romans 1 and the entire “Side A/Side B” controversy. Then briefly commented toward the end of Taylor Marshall’s comment about
