Sorry about the technical issues today folks. Had some uber geeks in the office recently and, well, geeks play with things. But as I say, if it ain’t broke… Anyway, briefly noted the split amongst Calvary Chapel churches, and then spent some time (interrupted by technical issues) on the prologue of John and the Incarnation, then finished up with a response to Robert Morey’s further debate challenge.

Today’s normal DL has been moved to tomorrow. We will be discussing Frank Beckwith’s presentations at ETS (esp. since one of his presentations is on justification), and Rapture Ready Radio’s criticism of debates along with the promotion of Jack Chick instead! Should be interesting. Wednesday at 11am MST.
James White calls in from the airport to report (20 minutes) in on his recent debate with a Roman Catholic and on the early reaction to his new book, Potter’s Freedom.

Today we dove headlong into one of the greatest chapters in Calvin’s Institutes, Book II, chapter 16, where he lays out the great work of Christ. It has been alleged that a “Reformed Biblicist” like myself could not speak as Calvin did. We buried that strawman deep into the soil of truth. Enjoy!
JD Hall is in town for the great Theonomy debate tomorrow evening, so we had him as our in-studio guest, talking about a lot of things, including Peter Lumpkins (just for the fun of it). We also reviewed Rob Bell’s ZimZum of Apostasy. Here is the YouTube link:
James calls in from his speaking tour to report on his debates on the Mass and Isalm. Rich leads a roundtable discussion comparing Mormon soteriology, including progression and the place of works, compared to the biblical ideas of justification by faith alone, substitutionary atonement, and double imputation. A discussion with a caller about extra-biblical authority and the deadness of sin.
