Looked at a number of stories on the cultural front, observing how the tsunami of compromise and abandonment of biblical authority is on-going.  Then we finished up the hour with an examination of Leighton Flowers’ view that individual Christians today are not given by the Father to the Son (only the Apostles were).  The cost of importing human autonomy into the

We examined Leighton Flowers’ attempt to a-contextualize John 6 (resulting in the inevitable conclusion that the many deep promises Christians have always claimed from John’s Gospel are actually not for us at all!) and hence to defend synergism and the autonomous will of man.  Then we looked at Zakir Hussain’s comments about Deuteronomy 18 and how this could not be

This was a Jumega length program…1:45 long, so, longer than a Jumbo, shorter than a Mega!  First half hour or so was in response to this article on theonomy and sharia.  Then I started to respond to the Leighton Flowers articles, and remembered I hadn’t announced my Knighthood attempt (see next article).  Got that taken care, and moved on to

Did you notice FaceBook slowing down a few hours ago?  Yeah, my bad.  I dared to offer some thoughts to my theonomist friends.  After the first half hour I moved on to address Acts 2:39 and consistent hermeneutics, and finished up examining a classic example of “when you don’t have a real case for your own interpretation, distract!” argumentation from

Started off with an interesting video about driving on ice, then spent half an hour not commenting on the Theonomy debate, and then moved on to looking at the US tax payer’s dollars at work promoting ungodliness and moral chaos in the following video: Here is the YouTube link:

Had a ton of articles in Evernote to catch up on, including a bunch the continued crusade of the LGBT revisionists to demand Christianity change its fundamental beliefs so that they can feel better, and the fundamental degradation of our culture in promoting human autonomy (hmm—isn’t that a theological issue too?).  Then I moved on to some interactions with Roman

It really, really was not my intention to take the whole hour to discuss only two brief portions of Devin Rose’s appearance on Catholic Answers Live recently, but I covered so much foundational stuff on scriptural sufficiency and the like that, well, that’s all we got to!  I had Tim Staples’ book on Mary cued up to look at, but

Today we looked briefly at the collapse of the GracePointe Church in Tennessee on the issue of biblical morality and standards, transitioning directly into the Bruce Jenner story.  That laid the foundation for replying to Leighton Flowers’ accusation that a compatibilist such as myself cannot consistently speak to homosexuality. Here is the YouTube link:

Did a few more minutes commentary on the atonement in response to David Allen’s Liberty presentation, and then took calls on such subjects as the sovereignty of God, theodicy, original sin and infant salvation. Here is the YouTube link:

Two weeks away without doing any programs left me with quite a stack of things to get to, to be sure!  Started off with a quick report on my trip to Norway (complete with *Bjorn Storm approved Norwegian accent!), the G3 Conference (mega kudos to all the folks who worked so hard to put that on!), and my encounter with

Started 2015 with a difficult topic, to be sure.  But the death of Josh Alcorn is being used by the LGBT “community” as a baseball bat, and someone has to stand up and point out the real issues.  The hatred being heaped upon his parents, the abuse the young man suffered at the hands of the LGBT “community” itself that encouraged his

Other than a few magical moments with my surprise co-host Clementine (stage name “Clemskidoodles”), this 90 minute program is a review and refutation of this horrifically biased, erroneous, and just plain anti-Christian cover article in the current issue of Newsweek magazine.  If you encounter anyone spouting this stuff, please, please, share this program with them!

Centered on the events in Sydney and Pakistan as our focus in discussing Islam today.  Then looked at Surah 3:31-32 to give some Qur’anic foundation to the discussion.  Then discussed the many new debates we have posted to our YouTube channel.  Check them out! Here is the YouTube link:

I start off the show with a brief follow up to my comments from Tuesday regarding PC&D and the song “Jesus, Only Jesus.” Then John Samson concluded his series on biblical interpretation by looking at some specific passages. Btw, during my presentation I mis-spoke about Romans 8:11. The passage refers to the Spirit of Him who raised Christ from the

In this edition of the Dividing Line Rich Pierce starts off the show with some commentary about PC&D’s new song ‘Jesus, Only Jesus’ and how this song exposes the Oneness views of this group. Then John continues his series on biblical interpretation. Here is the YouTube link:

For years Manuel Culwell has called the Dividing Line. Most of the time, in the past, when we have tried to dialogue, things went south…quickly.  Then, a few months ago, we had a fairly controlled discussion, so I suggested then that at some point we choose some texts and discuss them.  Well, it took a while, but today Manuel called

Started off with a few cultural items, such as the arrest of the founder of the totally misnamed “Human Rights Campaign,” but then moved to a response to me written by Derek Frank, which took up the rest of the program with issues such as Israel, the church, and the confusion brought into this topic by claims of revelation, words

Had to do a Jumbo (90 minute) edition of the DL today to fit it all in.  First half was all in response to Let the Lion Roar and the accompanying book.  Had many things to discuss–can’t say it was overly well organized, but hopefully helpful.  Then moved on to a Puritan Board discussion about me and the textual critical issue.

Gave a quick review of my time in New Jersey and New York, then moved on to reading portions of David Gushee’s new book explaining his new found support of homosexualism in the church, and then finished up with some more examination of Austin Fischer’s comments in the Calvinism debate earlier this year.
