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

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

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

Let’s Do a Road Trip!

, , Misc

So we need to put together our first A&O Road Trip. If you haven’t caught the details on the Dividing Line, I am going to head back out into the big, wild world, but this time I won’t be racking up miles toward Executive Platinum status on American Airlines. Instead, I will be literally “on the road again” driving the

Todd White Discovers Spurgeon, Timothy Cho, Free Speech, TR-Onlyism

, , Debate, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Started off with a brief clip from the now famous Todd White sermon from two days ago, then talked a bit about Timothy Cho’s tweets, one on the nuclear family, the other on face masks. I spent a few minutes going over my arguments on the mask mandates in response. Briefly talked about a student kicked out of student government

Supreme Court and Churches, Remember that Covid Stuff? Hyper-preterism Debate

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

Meandered around a bit today touching on the fact that Rich is French, that “Parler” should probably be pronounced with the French pronunciation (and yes, I have joined Parler, @Eleutheros), that the Supreme Court declining to give an injunction in California, while disappointing, isn’t the end of the world, and some other stuff about the current melt-down in the US.

The View from Capernaum+

The View from Capernaum

, , Misc

Certain things stick with you about your first visit to Israel.  For me, this view out across the Sea of Galilee from Capernaum is important.  I had just led a study on John 6, fittingly, and took a few moments to snap some pictures to remember.  This is the very beach, 2000 years removed, that the men would have pulled

Debate Report from London, Open Phones, Twitter Questions

, , General Apologetics, Islam, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Gave a quick debate report from last nights encounter with Adnan Rashid in Selhurst, South London, and then started covering questions provided over Twitter and yes, open phones!  I was very pleased with how well the phones worked, in fact, so this means we will be able to focus more upon doing Dividing Lines even when I am traveling overseas

The Gospels Reading Plan for 2019

It is about that time of the year when we are introduced to creative ways to read our Bible for the next calendar year. Did you do it this year? This is my eleventh year encouraging others to take each day of the year to read and reflect on a single unit in the Gospels. Did you know there are

Michael Kruger on Whether It Is a Waste of Time to Learn Biblical Languages . . .

, , Blog Stuff, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Pauline Studies, Reformed Baptist Issues, Resources, Textual Issues, Theology Matters

A few weeks ago, a new crop of seminary students began the grueling month-long experience of Summer Greek. And, like all seminary students before them, they will begin to ask the question of why studying these ancient languages even matters. After all, a few years after graduation all will be forgotten. In the midst of a busy pastoral life, who
