Was going to spend the whole time going through quotes from A Different Jesus? but forgot to sorta announce that we wouldn’t take calls, so, we took calls anyway. Made for a little bit of a roller-coaster, topic wise, but hey, you’ll survive. Good calls and my meanderings about Mormonism and the like, found here.
Man, too many things going on. Forgot again. Sorry. Here’s today’s DL…quick review of…stuff I’m doing, upcoming Long Island Debate, good calls on the Wilkin debate, Billy Graham crusades, and some Open Theism stuff. Wow, a true potpourri. Here it is.
Sorry this took so long! I’m finishing my PowerPoint presentations for tomorrow evening’s debate, and I forgot to blog the DL link. My mistake! Let’s see, discussed the upcoming debate, then played a clip from Fr. Peter Stravinskas illustrating how tradition gets in the way of exegesis, and then we took calls the last half hour. Here’s the program. I
Joseph Ratzinger, the chief theologian of the Roman Church, architect of the central document of Vatican II, the man behind so much of the theological documents of John Paul II, has been elected Pope, taking the name of Benedict XVI. Surely, the election of Ratzinger, at age 78, follows the normal “routine,” and signals a “staying of the course” theologically.
Wow, well, what do you do when you start the program and your microphone doesn’t work? Well, in the radio world, you panic, and play music, and run commercials, and stuff like that. When you are doing a webcast you go, “Woops, folks, hold on, let’s try this again.” And then you play around with your connections, discover that the
Filled the phone lines today, but alas, none of the folks who like to post falsehoods on web boards had the temerity to call in and defend their accusations (try not to faint with shock). Lots of good questions, though, on the Papacy and one long one on justification. Here’s the program.
Debate: Regeneration and Perseverance, Robert Wilkin, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 4/8/2005
James White, , Debate, The Dividing LineThe Regeneration and Perserverance Debate(Lordship salvation) Dr. White debates Dr. Robert Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society on the subject of faith. The two parts of this debate are Regeneration and the Ordo Salutis, and the Perserverance of the Saints. To be honest, James was disappointed with this debate. The majority of the time, he had to correct mischaracterizations of
Well, of all the folks I have challenged to call in and back up their various statements out there in cyber-land, only “Maximus” had the intestinal fortitude to do so, and he’s not a Roman Catholic, he’s an Arminian who had some less-than-kind things to say about me and my interaction with Dave Hunt. We had a nice chat for
Well, we opened the lines, and got some good calls, but the folks who have been willing to throw out the most vile personal attacks must have been too busy to get to a phone today, so I guess they will call on Thursday night (don’t forget, 7pm EDT!), 877-753-3341. Here’s today’s program.
Yesterday morning I chose to “take the risk,” scrap the message I had been prepared to deliver, and speak to the folks at Cornerstone Baptist Church about the gospel and John Paul II. Not knowing the congregation, it truly was a bit of a gamble, but the fine folks I had talked to gave me the confidence to go through
Today on the Dividing Line I concluded my review of one of the “worst of the worst,” the anti-Calvinism sermon of Dr. Danny O’Guinn of Tower Grove Baptist Church in St. Louis. Today we heard Dr. O’Guinn repeat the now infamous “Spurgeon denied limited atonement” section of Spurgeon’s sermon defending limited atonement. It is a classic example of “borrow a
Well, it’s a first, and it is right here. The all-British Dividing Line. Give it a listen! Hopefully home on Saturday!
We lost our server for the first 14 minutes, but ol’ got us back up and running. Pierre, our LDS listener, called in, prompted once again to defend our Arminian friends by yesterday’s program responding to Dr. O’Guin’s attack on “Calvinism.” Always interesting to listen to a discussion with Pierre on soteriological issues, always coming back to sola scriptura.
Today’s special “Radio Free Geneva,” providing an extended response to Dr. Danny O’Guin on the subject of his blatantly misrepresentational attack upon “Calvinism,” is available here. I hope Dr. O’Guin will likewise listen!
I am collecting “The Worst of the Worst.” And I am going to start responding to them tomorrow in a special DL that will go an extra 15 minutes as well (we can cram that onto a single CD). Worst of what? The Worst of Anti-Calvinism. I was handed a stack of tapes this past week, and made the mistake
Many thanks to the inventers of Ibuprofen I managed to make it through the DL today with the help of some good callers. Also gave a brief report on the trip to St. Louis. Here’s the program.
Today on the special Monday edition of the DL: First 40 minutes we reviewed some more of Camping’s false teachings, and warned about his followers seeking to attack Christ’s Church. Then took a great call on John 3:5. Don’t forget, Lord willing, we will have the regular Thursday program.
I just checked my flight schedule and I will indeed miss Tuesday’s DL time, so, unless Rich has an objection I don’t know about, I’d like to move Tuesday’s DL to Monday, 1pm EST, 10am PST. I want to play some clips (see the next entry when it is posted) and don’t want to put it off till Thursday.
We went 8 minutes long today to get them all in. Calls covered a broad range from issues relating to Calvinism, Catholicism, Greek, exegesis, etc. Great callers!
