Did a Skype DL from the ship yesterday, playing eight clips from the Ehrman debate and commenting on them. The quality isn’t what you’ll get from the mp3s, of course, but very useful anyway. More on the Tuesday DL back in Phoenix!
Started out with a clip from Patrick Madrid attempting to get around the presence of non-Roman Catholic teachings in patristic sources, and then finished up listening to the Infidel Guy and Bart Ehrman.
It should not be overly surprising to anyone that given the Ehrman debate is a week from tomorrow that the topic would be…New Testament textual issues! So we continued listening to the Infidel Guy/Ehrman program, this time getting into where the train jumped the tracks, i.e., where the Infidel Guy discovered Ehrman, unlike his other heroes, actually believes Jesus existed!
Focused (after an initial phone call) on the Infidel Guy/Bart Ehrman program. I confess, I am so focused on this I could hardly let Ehrman say three words before stopping and commenting. But a good warm up for the debate! We will continue next week with the same topic.
On today’s Dividing Line we began with a further refutation of the constantly repeated falsehood on the part of Rome’s defenders concerning the “33,000 Protestant denominations” claim. We invited Tim Staples to call, but alas, he didn’t. Then we began reviewing Bart Ehrman’s appearance on The Infidel Guy’s webcast.
I began today addressing Hebrews 2:9 and following, demonstrating the a-contextual, eisegetical use of the text by Arminians. I then addressed question #79 on William Lane Craig’s website which mentions my comments on Romans 9 and John 6:65. Then we took a number of calls on textual critical issues before returning, briefly, to listening to the Covenanter’s Call radio program
We did take one call on the meaning of arsenokoites, but other than that we focused back on The Covenanter’s Call radio program and its “review” of The King James Only Controversy.
I love when I come up with a title that requires you to listen to figure it out!
Pressed forward with our review and response to the King James Only presentation we began on Tuesday, this time getting into the background of the Textus Receptus and the basic circularity of the arguments used in this particular radio program. Also took two useful calls as well.
Today I began responding to some proponents of King James Onlyism who did a review/rebuttal of my book on the radio last week. As I had noted, I invited them to participate, but so far, I haven’t gotten a lot of response to my invitations. In any case, it has been a while since addressing some of these issues, so
Today I was joined by one of our Team Apologian bloggers, TurretinFan, to discuss the issue of the atonement and those who attempt to expand the ranks of those who deny the intentionality of the Trinity in accomplishing a perfect atonement (aka, “limited atonement”).
A very enjoyable program today. I started out talking about the upcoming Newsweek hit-piece, and then we took calls the rest of the hour. The first caller and I had a great discussion about the doctrines of grace, proving that it can be done without the rancor some always bring to the discussion! I include the video of that call
For those who missed the Dividing Line from last (12/4/08) Thursday, Dr. White continued his review of the recent SBC John 3:16 conference and examined Dr. Steven Lemke’s remarks specifically. Dr. White then took a call from Rich in Las Vegas regarding the problems with the John 3:16 conference and Macintosh ownership.
I continued my review of The John 3:16 Conference on the program today, playing clips from Paige Patterson, David Allen, etc. I play a clip from Paige Patterson where he says that you cannot prove from Scripture that all men are born guilty. I note the following comments from Dr. Boyce: It follows from the facts in these last two
Went about seven minutes long today so I could conclude a few thoughts in response to David Allen. First I gave about a 15 minute report on the London/Durham trips, then I launched into a Radio Free Geneva! I contrasted how Dr. Allen has treated me with how I approached the Mark Seifrid situation back in 2004, and then played
Today I did a DL from Durham, North Carolina. I played a section from the Shabir Ally debate on Monday and discussed the upcoming ministry here in North Carolina.
I intend to do another DL today from here in London. Would like to report on my debate in London last evening with Adnan Rashid (I don’t know why Adnan wasn’t smiling in this picture, as he has a wonderful smile!). We had a great and blessed time, and a good group turned out as well. I will discuss the
Took a look at some of the expressions of hatred toward God’s law and God’s people being expressed in Western culture post-Obamacoronation, noted that he is planning on acting on his promises to immediately rescind executive orders Bush put in place to prohibit federal funds from being used in other countries to kill unborn children (as well as that restricting
We will try to do a DL from London today at 1pm MST (8pm here in London!). Join us then!
William Albrecht was on the DL for the last 45 minutes of the program today. I played some sections from his videos, and we attempted to dialogue about worship and a few other issues related to Roman Catholic apologetics. I will very gladly leave it to the audience to decide who is able to reason on the matters of faith
Don’t forget! We will be doing tomorrow’s DL at the normal Thursday time slot, 4pm MST, 6pm EST (3pm PST since you all are still confused on the time issue this week). William Albrecht has promised to call in, so, we will see if he has bothered to read any of our books, listen to any of our debates, and
Today I played a video from William Albrecht in which he attempted to respond to a brief article by TurretinFan, and promised to call the DL today to set us all straight. We…didn’t hear from him. So, we took a call on polygamy after responding to William’s materials. Here’s the program.
Since I was out of town (well, I was in Mexico!), I forgot to blog the DL I did via Skype a week ago today! And since that included my closing statement in the Madrid debate, I better get that linked up! Sorry about that. Easy to forget to blog it when you are out of your routine. Here’s the
Sorry about the delay in getting the files up and getting this blogged. London looms! We finally finished up the Madrid debate from 1993! Just barely though! I also reported on my time away last weekend. So, for a wrap-up on sola scriptura, take a listen! Here’s the program.
After talking about the upcoming London trip I played Shabir Ally’s opening statement from a debate in 2005 on Muhammad in the Bible, challenging the audience to answer the question, “How would I respond to that?” After Monday, November 17th, you’ll know how I respond to it!
A bit of an unusual day on the DL. I played one Tim Staples clip, then we started taking calls on all sorts of subjects, including the one I include in the video below, ending with a good question about the NT’s use of the Septuagint and inerrancy. Once again proving the utterly unique nature of The Dividing Line! Enjoy!
Tired of all the doom and gloom, about which you can do absolutely nothing (except possibly sin by getting angry, self-centered, and worried?). Well then take a break and listen to the DL! Talked about a lot of exciting things today, from debates in London to the next edition of The King James Only Controversy to more on the sola
Sorry about being late in blogging this. I am so buried in this 2nd edition of the KJVOC I can’t see straight. I had completely forgotten how much Greek there is in that work (check out the endnotes some time!), and having to re-enter every bit of that, very slowly, is going to be the death of me yet. Anyway,
