Pastor John Samson returns to guest host today’s show and discusses the biblical gospel and how to share it with others. A simple way to evangelize. Here is the YouTube link:
Spent the first part of the program on my upcoming trip to South Africa, London, and Belfast, and then finished reading the Gospel of Thomas (which I had begun a number of weeks ago). John Samson and Rich Pierce will be filling in while I am traveling. Your prayers and support most appreciated! Here is the YouTube link:
Started off with various articles that I’ve collected, one by a Roman Catholic taking cheap shots at me, others on the continuing degradation of our society and the rise of totalitarianism. Then we opened up the phones and took calls on such subjects as the regulative principle of worship (actually got into the exclusive psalmody and instruments in worship debate
Started off talking with Mike O’Fallon from Geneva, Switzerland about our upcoming cruise to Alaska in September (don’t miss out!), and then played a clip from a recent Kent Hovind video where, irony of ironies, he is accused of doing everything Gail Riplinger accused me of doing—which he himself repeated and promoted! Well, what goes around comes around, as they
Pretty well split the program in half, the first being on developments in the ongoing rush to rid Western culture of the last vestiges of civilization and morality, and the second focusing upon Muslim apologist Paul Williams and his comments at Speaker’s Corner in London. Would love to challenge Williams to defend his statements in public debate on May 13th
I had never heard anyone use the phrase before, to be honest. But I had to think of some way to describe scholarship that, at its core, its foundation, is distinctly Christian. Specifically, how to describe Christian scholarship that, as an open presupposition and confession submits itself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas, including all areas of
About an 80 minute version of the show today responding to the webcast put out by Leighton Flowers, Soteriology 101, on March 29, 2016, where he interviewed Brian Abasciano concerning my statements about 1 John 5:1. Unfortunately, neither Flowers nor Abasciano did their homework and replied only to the very end of my comments, ignoring 40 minutes of presentation, and
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:
Covered a wide range of themes but tried, anyway, to connect them together. Will let you judge if I succeeded! Discussed a little bit of Peter Enns’ new book, noted Dr. Mouw’s continued white-washing of Mormonism, etc. Toward the end started looking at some Muslim issues as well. Here is the YouTube link:
Put together a full mega sized DL today, starting off with the obvious differences between the two currently living Popes and then doing nearly 70 minutes on a Rachel Held Evans article and a few articles that have appeared recently on the Desiring God website (John Piper’s ministry), but then throwing in another half an hour on a recent Unbelievable
I promise to move on to other issues on Thursday, but needed to address a few more issues on text topics and the whole “Ecclesiastical Text” movement. Looked at 1 John 3:1 and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) and again asked serious questions of the fundamental assertions of this movement. Here is the YouTube link:
My thanks to Jeff and Luke and the gang at Apologia for a quick invite to drive across the Valley and record this program when we had to cancel the DL on Thursday. Not quite as long as a “jumbo DL,” but with a lot more camera angles! I lead a discussion on textual criticism and the concept of the
So I had my opportunity to respond to the firestorm of criticism that erupted over the weekend regarding a 545 word, 2 paragraph item I posted on FaceBook last Friday. In this Dividing Line I address the issue of fatherlessness, Planned Parenthood’s genocide of blacks, the sin of rebellion and disrespect for God-ordained authority, and, most importantly, the fact that
Decided we needed to do a Radio Free Geneva today, and it turned out as a jumbo edition at that! Started off with Showbread’s “Dear John Piper” song, going through the lyrics and identifying the sources that led to this vicious construction of a burning straw man. Then I played a song by Shane and Shane that I had only
Started off reading the Gospel of Thomas, and got through the first 39 “verses.” A bit hard to do “Story time with Grandpa Jimmy” today due to the onset of my annual allergies/asthma/theresatonofstuffintheairnow thing. But we will finish it up later. Then I played a video of interviews with abortion zealots outside the Supreme Court that is simply beyond words.
Two sections to today’s program: the first is a reading of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (with a few comments thrown in for good measure), followed by an extended discussion, based upon comments made recently by Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live, of James 2:14-26 and justification by faith alone. Here is the YouTube link:
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
Spent the first 45 minutes on an interview Dr. Michael Licona did recently, discussing the centrality of theology to apologetic methodology. Then briefly discussed a recent statement by the Pope. Here is the YouTube link:
Talked about a few new books coming out at the start of the program, but spent the majority of the hour talking to callers about a wide variety of topics such as the atonement, the command of the gospel, election in Romans 11, the ordo salutis, etc. Went about fifteen minutes long to try to get everyone in. Here is
Started off with a guest, Rudolph Bushoff, from South Africa, talking about our May journey to South Africa (and we still need your help to get there!), and then tackled the Marcus Rogers video denying the Trinity. Went just a little long, but hope it will be helpful to folks. Here is the YouTube link:
Sort of wandered all over the landscape today, starting off with comments from Psalm 101:3 and branching off into the topic of Christian worldview, unity, etc. I had been on the Calvinist Batman podcast the hour before and had been asked about unity amongst Christians despite differences, etc. I was going to continue on to other topics but, alas…. We
Today we did an all-Roman Catholic program, looking at the Pope’s “super confessors,” the myth of the 33,000 denominations, and, at the very end of the program, the issue of Antonin Scalia and the gospel. But about 40 minutes in we had Luke call. Luke is being pursued zealously by Roman Catholic apologists, and we spent about 45 minutes with
Did a little over an hour in response to Gail Riplinger’s childish, insult-filled revision of history regarding our 1993 encounter on KRDS Radio in Phoenix. Played clips from that encounter, along with clips from the Ankerberg Show and other venues. Moved on from there to announce an upcoming discussion between myself and Dr. Michael Brown on Job 23:13-14 and the
Started out with the announcement of our 9/11-18 cruise to Alaska from Vancouver. The cruise will have the theme, “Apologetics in the Sight of God.” See the banner above for details! Mike O’Fallon joined us to give us the details. Then I moved to the video I had linked to previous by MuslimByChoice wherein he provides a response to my
Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video
Well, the video feed would not work again, sadly, but we pressed on anyway. Spent 45 minutes covering KJV Only memes, doing a lot of basic TC stuff (textual criticism), and then moved on to a Muslim meme regarding Jesus. Then got to finish up the video we began reviewing last week from Simply Seerah on Jesus and related issues.
Kent Hovind, the Pope and the Lutherans, CAIR on worship, AMC Pintos and a YouTube meltdown all on today’s audio only Dividing Line. Here is the YouTube link:
We reviewed the brief Twitter conversation I had with the author of Allah: A Christian Response regarding whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. That moved us directly into a review of the video linked below by Simply Seerah Studios. The video is very well done, and provides a great opportunity to dialogue and discuss. Here is the YouTube
First program back after two weeks away! Responded to folks who had directly addressed me in public venues while I was away, including Kent Hovind’s falsehoods about the encounter I had with Gail Riplinger in November, 1993, Walid Shoebat’s continued “Christian Crusaderism” and Roman Catholic push, ChristianPrince’s video harangues, and last Friday’s mention by JD Hall that he had been
My very first jumbo show today as I continue my review of James’ debate with Prof. Leighton Flowers on Romans 9. James gets more time today and gives a clinic in ‘rightly dividing.’ Sadly we will see more misrepresentations from Mr. Flowers as he uses verses out of context and in one case we see where he ended the verse
I continue with my review of James’ debate with Prof. Leighton Flowers on Romans 9. The new narrative gets fully formed today and we see further insight into how far the method will go to misrepresent core concepts of Calvinism let alone the mishandling of scripture that leads to it.
