“The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.

Offering Incense to Caesar: Are You Ready?
Covered a bunch of topics today on the program—a few announcements about the upcoming debates in Salt Lake City and in Australia started us off. Then we looked at some comments from Bassam Zawadi regarding the view of some Christian apologists of the Bible and the resurrection. Also looked through Romans 8:31-34 in response to Dr. David Allen’s assertion that
Always Ready to Give a Defense
This is the Greek phrase found in Peter’s first epistle exhorting all believers (not just elders, not just “professionals,” but all believers) to always be ready to give a defense, an answer, when asked concerning the hope that is within us.

Hopefully helpful examples and teaching!

Did about twenty minutes on Jan Hus and the background of the Reformation, and then went to the phones for the first time in a long time. A ton of questions on a wide, wide range of topics, such as the INC, Roman Catholicism, textual criticism, etc., finishing with a nearly 25 minute conversation with “Joe” who is flirting with
John 3:16 Again, Racialism, CBGM, Peterson/Shapiro Dialogue
Covered a TON of important material today. Started off responding to an Arminian attempt to spin the discussion of John 3:16 and the phrase πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων (every one believing). Then we moved on to some developments on the racialism front. From there we switched gears and addressed the claim that CGBM will cause all of the past three hundred years
Get Ready: Two and a Half Hour Long Dividing Line
There were three major topics on the DL today (after the opening discussion of some urgent situations where the people of God need to bring certain issues before the throne of grace): first, an article published today on Revelation 16:5 and the Textus Receptus; then, a rather lengthy review of Andy Stanley’s sermon from Sunday on the Bible and Christianity.
