PDA’s, Islam, Open Lines and Marty Luther and the Reformers

John continues his review with the Preservation of the Saints. We had some serious problems with the original recording so John came in for a redo and here it is.

We continued on with our survey and examination of Bob Coy’s “What’s the Point” sermon. Only covered a few minutes, since we took the time to go into such things as foreknowledge, etc. May press on with part 3 on Thursday, or, may take a break to answer some e-mail questions, I haven’t decided. We will see!

I resisted the temptation to comment on the election on the DL today, as there is so much that could be observed, but instead stuck to our review of the Licona/Martin dialogue on whether Jesus recognized His own deity. I think this is an important exercise in examining the presuppositions of what is truly “worldly wisdom.”

The Prayer of Jabez book had already sold over 5 million copies, which, unfortunately, would not have happened if it was a balanced representation of Christian prayers in the Bible. The book also misses the sense of the text’s prayer as a covenant oath and misses the biblical concept of blessing, and the biblical sense of answered prayer.
