How Denominations Die, How Movements Crash and Burn

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some of the current developments on the world and national stage, then looked at the amazing example of the National Prayer Service yesterday morning in Washington, and the leftist “bishoptrix” at the National Cathedral. How do denominations die? Where do they begin? Then we moved on to how quickly the anon army is abandoning the positions they

End of Year Catch Up on Developments in the “Trashworld” Controversy

, , Christian Worldview, Debate, Misc, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so. Stephen Wolfe chimed in today with a tweet about his viewpoint on issues, so we really had to take some time to consider where this is all going, and what it

Pre-Advent Dividing Line

, , Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

One of the first things I said to Rich when we finished this program was, “How am I going to type THAT ONE up?” and he laughed. So let’s see. Talked about Biden’s disgusting “let’s burn it all down before we leave” campaign of pardons and commutations, Muslim hatred, a super cool Christmas card from a family in our church,

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Talked a bit about how modern tech is allowing us to “read” ancient scrolls that have been fossilized over time, then looked at some insights, and corrections, from our friend TurretinFan regarding the TR, the book of Revelation, etc. Then transitioned into more recent developments into the influx of Nazi apologists into “Reformed” churches, and the Reformed men who are,

A Few Advent Thoughts, Then, Who Has Really Changed?

, , Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some seasonal thoughts about Incarnation, Crucifixion, the differing emphases between East and West on those topics, etc., and then transitioned into looking at statements being made on line attempting to create a false narrative that simply goes against history.

Return Road Trip DL from the Middle of Nowhere

, , Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I am in western Oklahoma, just shy of the Texas panhandle, and I am truly in the middle of nowhere. But, we set up Starlink and got the job done! Pretty much went through a Twitter thread from a fellow named BG Apustaja and replied to his assertions about how I have become “unhinged,” which led to a discussion of

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be “usual” for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new “thing” to be all excited about, “The PWC,” the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central

Wow, covered a lot today! Rich will have to edit out a technical issue we had, but, we managed to get it all covered anyway. A bit about the election, and the amazing endorsement of Kamala Harris by the Babylon Bee! Hard to argue against their reasons! We talked about the Precious Moments figurines with weird connections to wild viewpoints

Road Trip DL: Even-Ezers, Long-term Thinking, True Christian Examples of Heroism and Faith

, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First stop on my trip to Alabama. Covered how we need to think long-term to be faithful and thankful, and then talked about how Hebrews moves from deep theology to the practical application in the Christian life, and how the Heroes of Faith chapter (11) provides us with the kind of examples we should emulate today.

Memorizing Scripture and Various Other Topics

, , Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m doing three programs today, one up in Canada, then the DL, and then Marlon Wilson’s show on YouTube. Hope the voice holds out! Talked about memorizing Scripture in my youth, the value of paper Bibles, the value of a Christian home. Then talked a bit about the craziness in our political scene right now, then talked a bit about

Mishnah, Talmud, and the Ugly Rise of Side-B Nazism in 2024

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Islam, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Didn’t pull any punches today, folks. When the Nazis come after you it is time to shoot straight in return. Took on some nasty players today, but had to provide background information on, for example, the origination of the Mishnah, Gemara, and Talmud, etc. Hopefully useful to everyone, and a warning for those trying to “sneak in” to the church

Rome’s Trajectory, Response to Division and Debate Amongst the “Reformed”

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Misc, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a bit on the election, then tied this into the current developments in Rome with Francis making sure his legacy will continue to shift the direction of the Roman Church. Then addressed Joel Webbon’s recent webcast about the now infamous Holocaust meme, and related issues amongst the “Reformed” (that term is just about to collapse due to

Why I Will Still Vote Against the Marxists, and Why the Crusades Were Still a Mockery of the Cross and the Gospel

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Two topics today. First forty minutes on my thoughts on the upcoming election and how, if the Marxists are victorious (and that may be a foregone conclusion), it could be the last even pretend election in our lifetimes, and how this should, in my opinion, impact those who have decided that not voting is their best choice. Then, in the

Rome and Mary: the Sad Reality

, , Abortion, Church Fathers, Church History, Misc, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After running our raffle and determining the winner of the wonderful Derek Melton blade, and after I spent some time talking about a neat and encouraging gift from a young man at Apologia, we turned to Roman Catholicism, Pope Francis, and the entire complex of Marian doctrines that are so utterly destructive to the gospel and to Christian experience. We

Road Trip DL: Responding to the Backlash on Mocking the Holocaust, Plus a Little Olympics Commentary

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Had to spend 3/4 of the program responding to the amazing outpouring of, well, error and conspiracy and disrespect and nastiness on social media following the previous Dividing Line and my relatively short discussion on the meme mocking the Holocaust. Folks, there are serious, serious problems under the surface in a lot of Reformed churches. Beware! Keep an eye out!

Twitter-Driven DL from Dolores, Colorado

, , Ken Wilson, Misc, Mormonism, Open Phones, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

I am thankful that Twitter was not taken down by today’s huge IT crash/failure, since we took our questions from our audience, and they were great questions! We will definitely have to do it this way in the future when I am traveling (much less technically challenging than trying to take calls when I am remote). Covered a wide variety

Presidential Debate, Latin Mass, the God of Purpose and Glory

, , Debate, Misc, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off today with a few interesting and funny tweets, wished Tom Buck a happy birthday, lamented tomorrow evenings Presidential “debate,” discussed Francis’ detestation of the Latin Mass, and finished up looking at the comments of an open theist concerning God’s decree and his demand that God be as limited and creaturely as the rest of us.

An Unusual Monday Morning Dividing Line

, , CBGM, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Misc, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity, TROnlyism

Covered a wide range today, from insanity in Germany, more and more studies showing the danger of the Covid jabs, the Biden Regime’s war on Christians, a few interesting graphics I’ve run across, to finally in the last half of the program, a brief video from Barth Ehrman showing his theological shallowness and the reasons thereof. Also mentioned once again

Archbishop Vigano Torches Francis, Open Phones

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Open Phones, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had to take time to read through Archbishop Virgano’s utter torching of Francis and the current Vatican regime at the start of the program, then we took calls on the following topics: conjectural emendation in the Old Testament, issues relating to annihilationism/conditionalism, Shoemaker’s critical study of the Qur’an, advice for a new father, developments in Mormonism, and raising godly

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

, , Jehovah's Witnesses, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off showing my newly “dyed” Bible texts, following the process laid out by Jeffery Rice in this video, and then took calls on Rushdooney, Alma Allred (Mormonism), recognizing novel and soon to be abandoned ideas in theology, wokeness in the Assemblies of God, and dealing with Jehovah’s Witnesses on the eternality of Jesus. Also, we had one Modalistic caller

Road Trip DL from Salt Lake City: A Little Riddle, a Little Muller

, , Debate, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, TROnlyism

Was on the road for six hours today but still managed to sneak a program in this afternoon, looking a bit at my discussion with Doug Wilson on “paedocommunion” (he prefers “child communion” and there is, actually, a difference), then responding to Jeffrey Riddle on an odd take on semper Reformanda, and then finishing up with a little discussion on

Pale Blue Dots, Philosophy, Feser, and Mt. Carmel

Yeah, good luck figuring out that title! Covered a lot on a 100 minute program today, from scientism to the Pullmann/Hess debacle back to Aquinas and the Baptists and finishing up with the “Mt. Carmel Challenge.” We definitely covered the waterfront today!

Road Trip #2 Live from Conway, Arkansas

, , Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The second evening of the mini Conference on the solas is just 90 minutes away so we snuck a quick program from the AO Mobile Command in talking about the trip, what’s coming up at G3 and elsewhere, and responding to Soteriology 101’s paid advertising campaign looking to get “converts from Calvinism.” I wandered all over the landscape, to be

Redefining Family, Chic Racism, Horse-Dewormer, Religious Exemptions

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

I do not know how to title a wide ranging program like today’s! We discussed the Buttigieg adoption scandal, Jory Micah’s racism, the amazing crash of Ivermectin from 2015 Nobel Prize winning drug to 2021 horse-dewormer, and then a lengthy discussion of medical exemptions, including the statement Apologia Church has produced on the topic. I also read through an attack

Encouraging Stories, More on Romans 13, New CV19 Studies

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Not sure it was fair I had to compete with the President’s speech (which a friend described as a sleepy grandpa trying to talk at 2am), but we covered some neat upcoming events (mainly on the trip to and from G3), talked about some fundamental and foundational issues relating to Romans 13, and finished up looking at a flurry of
