Monergism vs. Synergism Debate Part II
We took the gloves off today a bit, but remained within bounds for brothers in the Lord, as Michael and I debated again on the DL. Accusations of a “schizophrenic God” and “robots” came up, which surprised me a little, but that’s OK, at least we got down to some brass tacks, so to speak, in examining the foundations upon
Romans 9 and Radio Free Geneva Concluded
We concluded our Radio Free Geneva series in response to Steve Gregg’s comments on Romans 9 (taken, basically, from the Forster/Marsten work from 1974) by playing another almost 30 minutes worth of his presentation, and taking a couple of calls. This program goes long (almost 80 minutes). This should wrap up this particular subject, to be sure.
Where Do We Go From Here? Staying Faithful in the Future

Thanksgiving First Half, Tradition Over Time Second Half

Equal Scales and Honesty in Apologetic Argumentation: Even When Criticizing the Bishop of Rome
On the program today I interacted with JD Hall’s comments about the Pope and the idea that the “cross was a failure” from Monday’s Pulpit and Pen program. All a lesson in seeking to be consistent in our argumentation and use of sources, even when we believe the person we are critiquing to be in gross error. Here is the
Screenshot Insanity
Showed a number of screenshots from the many folks attacking us at this point in time and went through them, mainly focusing upon the sad reality of bias, prejudice, and simply bigotry in the “Christian” community. A rather full refutation of the scandalous charges of certain internet apologists and in particular Brannon Howse. Here is the YouTube link:
James White and Jason Robinson Discuss Romans 8:28-34
Pastor Jason Robinson from West Virginia joined us on the program today to offer competing (and conflicting!) interpretations of this key soteriological text. 30 minutes of exegesis then 30 minutes of cross-ex, with ten minutes of closing statements. We developed connection issues during the cross-examination and had to go to the phone to finish things up. Jeff Durbin joined me
