Pressed on with the textual criticism series on the DL today. I took some time to address the “ecclesiastical text” argument before moving into some more specific variants. We just got started on looking at the NA27 text near the end of the program.
Also, I made reference to my disputatio with Douglas Wilson on the issue of textual critical issues. Here is the link.
Another Jumbo edition of the DL today. YouTube had some problems, so I understand the video is missing a few minutes. Started, as I had to, with the Brandon Eich debacle and how it exposes the totalitarianism and hypocrisy of the left as a whole and the pro-homosexual movement in particular. Uber-rights indeed! But that’s not enough for these people!
Started off the Dividing Line with a brief chat with Mike O’Fallon of Sovereign Cruises on the subject of our October cruise and the fact that there is still room to join in but time is passing us by. Once the ship fills up, we can’t guarantee anyone a spot, so now is the time to get on board! Then
First 35 minutes was based on Daniel 4 and what Nebuchadnezzar learned from his animal experience.

Then we talked about books to read during this time where there are no sports, no movies, etc., and then we looked (quickly) at what Leighton Flowers said about the issue of faith in Romans 8. Somewhere in there
Pastor Jeff Durbin joined me in studio today 1) for a celebration of color thanks to Coogi sweaters and 2) to respond to this video by Noah Adam. Nearly two hours and twenty minutes of discussion of apologetic methodology, theology, and truth. We hope you find it useful—and colorful! Here is the YouTube link:
Had an early DL today. I started off playing Gene Cook’s impromptu interview with Ruben Israel. I likewise made the mistake, again, of calling Gene Cook “Gene Scott.” Gene called to straighten me out (Cook, not Scott–we do not accept extra-terrestrial phone calls).
