John Samson continues teaching on the doctrine of justification by faith alone, the imputation of Christ’s righteousness and how Paul and James compliment each other on the matter.

We messed up planning the timing on recording a new Sweater Vest Dialogue with Doug Wilson, so, instead of pushing the day back an hour, we jumped on it and snuck in a quick Dividing Line before recording the SVD (which will be on the topic of Christian Nationalism). Rambled a good bit looking at the “election” in Maricopa County
Put together a full mega sized DL today, starting off with the obvious differences between the two currently living Popes and then doing nearly 70 minutes on a Rachel Held Evans article and a few articles that have appeared recently on the Desiring God website (John Piper’s ministry), but then throwing in another half an hour on a recent Unbelievable
Discussed my experience daring to commit heresy in the courtyard of the High Temple of Secularism (aka, on national media) by even mentioning the lordship of Jesus, briefly commented on the disgusting, reprehensible, immoral act of ESPN in giving Bruce Jenner an award for bravery and courage. Then made a few comments about David Barron’s “misrepresentation” complaint, and got back
OK, descending can be fun, sure. But once the speedometer passes about 40 mph (about 65km/hour for our non-US readers) I start getting nervous.

Covered…a lot of stuff. Talked a bit about the Called to Confusion blog, Carl Trueman’s article today, how to record books to
Thankfully, those are three different topics! Started off with some comments on Paul “He Threw a Greek New Testament at Me!” Williams, and then took two calls, both of which went over 15 minutes in length, the first on John 3:16 (and 2 Timothy 2:12ff), the second on how to explain the beliefs of the Watchtower Society.
Started off today with a Jerusalem Jones Update, documenting that Steve Ray can’t represent his former faith very well, nor can he understand the Greek text of the New Testament, either (and Marcus Grodi didn’t catch his error).
