90 minute program today with some thoughts from 2 Peter to start off the New Year, then a lengthy discussion of God’s decree, followed by a few items related to Islam and the Ecclesiastical Text folks.

My very first jumbo show today as I continue my review of James’ debate with Prof. Leighton Flowers on Romans 9. James gets more time today and gives a clinic in ‘rightly dividing.’ Sadly we will see more misrepresentations from Mr. Flowers as he uses verses out of context and in one case we see where he ended the verse
Never underestimate the writing output of a Catholic apologist. You can be easily buried with facts on several different topics spanning numerous pages. Most of their arguments are exercises in reasoning from the facts back to the Roman Catholic Church. One fact supports another in arguing back to the church Jesus is said to have established. The Catholic apologist will
A multi-topic dividing line: Dr. White notes that converts to Romanism often do so based on the very worst arguments, and mentions three upcoming Protestant books that will speak the truth, followed by a phone call about the anachronistic nature of Rome’s historical claims. James also mentions two topics that we will discuss more in future programs: Harold Camping’s claim

But here we see clearly the relationship that is being missed by many today. Why would Paul say to anyone, “Christ will be of no benefit to you”
Well, posting the cross-ex portion on John 6:37 has been such a smash hit that Rich thought it would be fair to provide an equal length portion of the cross-ex where Bill Rutland is asking the questions, so here is a three-minute segment of some of the material from that section of the debate. Enjoy!
Before diving back into Sheikh Awal’s opening statement I very briefly responded to yet another “Hey, let’s repeat every tired and silly argument against James White” thread on the Catholic Answers Forums.
