A wide variety of topics today as the title indicates, possibly prompted by the first cool and rainy weather of the fall here in Phoenix!
A wide ranging program for your listening enjoyment and edification today, to be sure. Started off with Tim Staples on purgatory and idulgences; went on to some Gail Riplinger zaniness; took a call on 1 Timothy 2:1-7; finished up going a few minutes over to cover claims made by Shabir Ally in a debate in South Africa recently.
Pastor John Samson Kings Church of Peoria, Arizona guests hosts once again and shows how western civilization has been positively impacted by the Protestant Reformation. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the men and women of the Reformation whose sacrifices have been instrumental in giving us many of the civil and religious liberties we presently enjoy. Here is
I have been severely criticized by some for noting the similarity of conclusions drawn by some in the Auburn Avenue movement and those found in New Perspectivism. Yet, as I am monitoring both sides, I cannot help but seeing a confluence of perspectives, despite the very different backgrounds and sources of the two movements. A good friend of mine, who
We continued our response to Justin Brierley’s article (found here) in a Radio Free Geneva episode today, looking primarily at the Scriptural issues (focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-6 and Romans 8). Hopefully a useful discussion! We will be back again at the same time tomorrow with a regular edition of the Dividing Line—much going on, much to discuss! Here is

The irony is that I had posted Tom’s e-mail last night, though Caner evidently did not bother to check that before firing off this missive, and
Started off looking at Pope Francis and “lead us not into temptation.” Then had to look at Slander and Keyboard (the group formerly known as Pulpit & Pen, sort of like the artist formerly known as Prince…or Purple something, I could never figure that part out) as well as some wild eyed “bigotry in the name of Christianity is fine
Centered on the events in Sydney and Pakistan as our focus in discussing Islam today. Then looked at Surah 3:31-32 to give some Qur’anic foundation to the discussion. Then discussed the many new debates we have posted to our YouTube channel. Check them out! Here is the YouTube link:
Examined and responded to Roger Olson’s rather weak attempt to deflect the charge of Marcionism (found here), and then finally got to at least halfway through Austin Fischer’s opening statement in the recent “Calvinism” debate.
