A little bit of everything for folks today, from reviewing a thread promoting priestly confession to reading through a description of purgatory to listening to Dr. Riddle promoting TR Onlyism.
A Vatican official just said that we need an intercessor in heaven who understands the problems of the 21st century on earth. He was talking about John Paul II going to heaven to be an intercessor. I assure that official that the Lord Jesus knows all about the troubles of the 21st century.
Started off looking at a “converted” ATM that is now being used to “preach” in a church in Germany, leading to some discussion of egalitarianism and related concepts. Then we commented a bit on the Christian/Muslim debate from last evening, leading to a discussion of 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 and Paul’s “Christian Shema.” Then we took calls on a variety of
At times it seems like an epidemic. It’s always the same tired arguments, refuted a hundred times before, that are being presented as some “new information,” some great new insight into the truth. How could “Christian scholars” have missed such obvious errors on their part? Who knows? But another Christian writer has fallen for KJV Onlyism, and is helping to

Another RC apologist commented on DA’s blog (when he declined exegeting Romans 4:6-8): I can answer White’s question viz. who is the blessed man very easily. He is the justified believer who God reckons (logizomai) righteous because He has made him righteous in justification. That’s what the etymology of dikaiow would have us believe anyway. Great: so, if this person
Two portions to the program today, the first dealing with Warren McGrew and the question, “Could Judas have done the right thing and not betrayed Jesus?” in reference to Jesus’ self-identification in John 13:19. Interesting stuff! Then we looked at Preston Sprinkle’s new book, Embodied, and examined his defense of “pronoun hospitality.”
Other than discussing some upcoming events (such as the debate in Pennsylvania), we took some time to listen to some voices from the past (Chrysostom, Jerome) and think about how things have changed. We also took some time to consider the definition of biblicism in the current controversy.
