James responds to an NBC Nightly news story on “hate speech.” The report is an attack on Dr. Jerry Vines’ and his criticisms of Islam. Dr. Vines is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida.
James White is preparing for an outreach to his 30th consecutive LDS General Conference. He explain that God is glorified in the presentation of the gospel, whatever the response to it is. Recent trend for Mormons proselytizing: doctrinal distinctives are taking a back seat to the PR effort to be “family friendly”.
Dr. White discussed recent upcoming trips to Germany and South Africa; Timothy George’s continued ecumenical attitude toward Roman Catholicism by a recent article in Christianity Today about Pope Francis. His compromise is hard to understand, because Timothy George is not ignorant of church history and historical theology. Dr. White also discussed an article at the “Gay Voices” section at the
But I can tell you the last 45 minutes was dedicated to finishing off Paul Williams’ opening statement (finally). The 45 minutes before that allowed me to empty out my “DL Materials” bookmark folder—all sorts of incredible stuff about how quickly Western culture is embracing rebellion and depravity.

We finished up with a discussion from Isaiah 10 and the freedom and power of God in history. We will try again
I started off with a brief discussion of how I’ve found the Amazon Kindle to be a great asset in my studies (and how you might as well), and then went to the phones, which filled up pretty quickly. Then, once I cleared them all, I responded to this article from WorldNet Daily on the Manhattan Declaration.
Reported a bit more on the Road Trip, including playing a song we learned during the conference in Idaho (it’s a right catchy tune that works real well if you have a peg leg and a hook hand), commented on the FDA approving vaccines for last year’s virus at warp speed, and finally listened to the now infamous Todd Friel
We started out tracing the genesis of the incredibly absurd misrepresentation promoted by George Bryson and Micah Coate in their books against Calvinism.
