Today I read some more from Reymond, this time the section on a biblical theodicy, before addressing about two minutes of Paige Patterson’s sermon on Calvinism from 2/2004. Then the phone calls started. Had one call on compatibilism and another on the Mouw situation up in Utah.
Actually started off with a little bit on how to deconstruct the objective reality of the fact that 2+2=4, then moved on to Tim Keller’s article ostensibly pushing back on Critical Theory while actually demonstrating he has been deeply influenced (in a bad way) but it.

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
