I’ve never done this before, but these two graphics say almost all that needs to be said. Nearly two hours of interaction with the claims and statements of Steve Camp and Janet Mefferd from Monday’s JM show. Here is the YouTube link:
For the first 45 minutes we played a video from a Muslim asking a question about the Trinity based upon how the Holy Spirit “overshadowed” Mary. Since he asked for Christians to explain the passage, we did! Then we moved to last night’s Hagmann Report which, in the first hour, featured Brannon Howse. Here is the YouTube link:
The first half of the program was prompted by the Presidential statement (Tweet!) on “transgenders” in the military and the reactions to it from the secular totalitarians. What are the worldview implications and foundations? Then in the second half of the program we went back to the last portion of the comments made by Dr. William Lane Craig on the
First hour we played material relevant to apologetic methodology as William Lane Craig continues his very interesting, if somewhat confusing, interaction with the debate Sye did on the radio. But we only got halfway through that, as I wanted to review some comments by Karlo Broussard on catholic.com attempting (badly) to parallel atheism with Protestantism (specifically, a belief in sola scriptura).
Only an hour today, but the first half was focused on the deity of Christ (interrupted by failing light strips in the studio!) and the second was focused upon a GOP proposal to identify “peaceful teaching Muslims” from those preaching violence. Basically, I really don’t want the government determining good and bad theology for anyone, because while the GOP may be
Simply had to deal with William Lane Craig’s review of a debate on apologetic methodology at the start—we will be waiting further installments as this conversation continues. Then I moved on to comment on the Janet Mefferd Show episode that aired Monday, Brannon Howse’s turning me over to Satan, etc. and etc. Comments on 2 John 7-11 as well. A
Did about twenty minutes on the Eugene Peterson controversy regarding gay marriage, etc., and then moved into a rather full response to the James Simpson interview on the Janet Mefferd Show. Played entire clips from the interview and responded, fully, to the politically-based accusations from Simpson, and then played Janet’s objections and responded to them as well. I really appreciate
In light of the airing tomorrow of an interview with James Simpson, author of “When Evangelicals Become Useful Idiots for Islamism” (American Thinker, 6/24/17) on the Janet Mefferd Show, we did a special program for those who will be looking for information in light of that interview. We went over the controversy and pointed out that Mr. Simpson’s article is
Mainly discussed the move toward embracing transgenderism as a proper Christian viewpoint by the Church of England in the first half hour, and then moved to a discussion of a textual variant in Hebrews 1:3 as an illustration of a number of things in the second half hour. Both live from Evergreen, Colorado via Skype. Hope it is helpful! Here
I guess the single theme of today’s Dividing Line was: let’s interact with the world with gentleness and reverence since, well…the Bible commands us to do so. Thoughts on the development of the “fundamentalist mindset,” a little look at the attitude expressed by “Truth Defenders,” and more. Enjoy! Here is the YouTube link:
After a bit of discussion of current developments concerning the ravaging hordes running about the internet burning and looting, we played a portion of the comments made on the recent episode of Unbelievable on the subject of the gospels, inerrancy, and harmonization. Important stuff! Note sure about the schedule for the next two weeks as I will be up in
Started off the program today with a little bit on the ongoing attacks upon A&O by the odd coalition of Christians and political types, and then reviewed some comments by Yusuf Ismail in a recent ABN debate with Usama Dakdok, specifically looking at portions of Deuteronomy—tough, difficult portions. No ducking, no saying “Oh, that’s the Old Testament, we don’t have
Started off with some thoughts based upon Colossians 3 (looking at P46 as our basis), and then moved on to consider the “dark underside of the Christian web” in light of recent attacks and smears upon the ministry. Then we started looking at Abu Zakariya’s new book, Jesus: Man, Messenger, Messiah (Iera). Here is the YouTube link:
Took the first half hour to deal with an issue from the Marian Dogmas debate in London, specifically, the citation of Ephiphanius related to the Bodily Assumption. Then in the second half hour I went through a number of corrections of the narrative being promoted by a number of folks relating to the dialogue with Dr. Yasir Qadhi, correcting, reproving,
An interesting program today where I spent a good deal of time on John 11 in P45, discussing its meaning and the context. Then I moved to Surah 3 in the Qur’an looking at what it says about Jesus. With that as the background, I made some comments regarding the current controversy and the slanderous attacks being leveled at me
Joined today on the program by Dr. Josh Buice of Prays Mill Baptist Church and the G3 Conference to talk G3, our upcoming European tour, and things SBC. Here is the YouTube link:
The Southern Baptist Convention is in town so I asked Pastor Tom Buck from First Baptist Church, Lindale Texas to join me in studio to talk Traditionalism and other things Southern Baptist. Here is the YouTube link:
Showed a number of screenshots from the many folks attacking us at this point in time and went through them, mainly focusing upon the sad reality of bias, prejudice, and simply bigotry in the “Christian” community. A rather full refutation of the scandalous charges of certain internet apologists and in particular Brannon Howse. Here is the YouTube link:
Started off with the clip of Bernie Sanders demonstrating that he does not believe Christians have any place in American society. Well, that’s pretty much standard for socialist secularists. But then we began an hour and a half response to Brannon Howse and guests. Yesterday an hour long hit piece was posted attacking me for dialoguing with Dr. Yasir Qadhi
Gave a little recap of my trip to Europe, then discussed the onslaught of the totalitarians in both Illinois and Ottawa. Talked a bit about the incoherence of the secularist worldview in connection to that. Then spent a good bit of time on the London terrorist attacks, once again discussing Islam and the reactions to recent events. Took phone calls
With recent events in apologetic news Rich Pierce “pulls the curtain back” to show how Alpha and Omega Ministries, Inc. functions as an accountable organization. Here is the YouTube link:
Pastor Dan Caffese guests hosts today. We might wonder how our American culture in the space of only 50 years could go from a small minority affirming gay marriage to a majority. What underlies such a rapid change is the epistemological changes which have taken place during the last 50 years. We don’t answer questions like, “how do I know
Pastor’s Jeff Durbin and Luke Pierson took over the broadcast today. Jeff and Luke are the Elders at Apologia Church. Apologia Church was born out of a hospital that specialized in addiction. They share a bit of the history and talk about a biblical approach to addiction. For more, go to http://apologiastudios.com. Here is the YouTube link:
Pastor Jeff Durbin, of Apologia Church, took over the Dividing Line. Jeff spends time discussing the history of the Pro-life movement and his own personal history of getting involved in ministry at the abortion-mills. He plays through a clip of an encounter he had while ministering outside of a clinic in Tempe and he talks a bit about how he
Pastor John Samson (www.kingschurchaz.com & effectualgrace.com) returns to guest host today’s Dividing Line broadcast and continues his teaching on expository preaching. How the Bible is handled in a service often reveals far more about a church’s true beliefs regarding Scripture, rather than a statement of faith found on a website. Today’s teaching is a summons to make God’s word central
Pastor and author John Samson of King’s Church returns to guest host today’s Dividing Line broadcast and teaches on the urgent need for expository preaching. A high view of Scripture should inevitably mean that God’s word is central in the life of the church so that the meaning of the passage is the message of the sermon. Here is the
Aside from a few technical hiccups and a bit of wandering about, spent pretty much the entire hour on Rome’s Marian teachings, looking in particular at where they came from. I read from such sources as the Odes of Solomon, the Ascension of Isaiah, and especially from The Protevangelium of James. Be warned! Some of this material is a bit difficult to listen
For the first half hour we played Hank Hanegraaff’s comments in which he said I twist people’s words to make them say the opposite of what they actually intended, and responded. In the second we read through part of Jonathan Merritt’s defense of Jen Hatmaker and once again wrestled with the issues that compromising Evangelicalism presents to us today. Here
The whole program today is oriented toward the text of Scripture and how it has been transmitted to us today. I particular focused upon the history of the NT text in the King James Version and relevant issues to the so-called “Ecclesiastical Text” movement of the modern day. Here is the YouTube link:
Started off with a little reflection on sacralism prompted by a tweet posted by Albert Mohler, but fairly quickly transitioned into total textual critical geekdom. First made some comments about the Textus Receptus, but then jumped 1300 years earlier into the story and started looking at the nomina sacra and early papyus manuscripts. Afraid this one will be a little harder
Spent an hour reviewing the debate with Joe Ventilacion of Iglesia Ni Christo, responding to various elements of the debate itself and looking at what has happened in the aftermath. Then for the last 40 minutes or so we covered the discussion taking place on line regarding Pulpit and Pen, etc., going back to last summer and the controversy that
