The first hour was a hodge-podge of topics related to synergism, including a video from Michael Brown on whether we can lose our salvation, material from SBCToday (i.e., the “Traditionalists), etc. Then we talked for a few minutes about Robert Morey, debates, and the infamous “thing/thigh” hadith.

Topic: Ruminations on N.T. Wright (aka, “Tom” to those who love and adore him so!). Just a quote to warm you up: God forgive us, within modernity, when often we as Christians thought that the way to use the Bible to address the world was to abstract large chunky doctrines from the Bible and hurl them at the heads of
Couldn’t exactly avoid the topic of “Marriage Equality” today (a phrase that is so utterly absurd in its meaning that one is left stuttering at its prevalence in society), so we started off there, looking at Ted Olson’s vain attempts to disassociate polygamy (and any number of other perversions of marriage) from his defense of the redefinition of marriage. Then
Started off talking with Cathy Kang, President of Sovereign Cruises about the 2020 Cruise to Rome, Ephesus, Athens, and Israel! Yes, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit these incredible locations with teaching on site (and on ship) from James White and Jeff Durbin. Read all about it here, and make sure to contact Sovereign if you have any questions
Examined and responded to Roger Olson’s rather weak attempt to deflect the charge of Marcionism (found here), and then finally got to at least halfway through Austin Fischer’s opening statement in the recent “Calvinism” debate. I will be in Boulder, Colorado on Thursday, and I am uncertain of what Rich’s plans are, so keep an eye out! Here is the

This does not work because of its context as moral law, its context that is applied to Gentiles in the text of Leviticus 18, and because
Had another net issue today, but got everything recorded anyway. Talked a bit about the old “Jews are behind everything” stuff, looked at an example of sacralism in the martyrdom of a young baptist man by Reformed authorities, and then spent just a few minutes looking at a comment from Leighton Flowers.
Quickly mentioned some of the evidence of the rise of totalitarianism in the United States, then made note of some of the wild videos showing a huge response to our addressing Hebrew Israelism, and finished up with a rather passionate response to JD Hall and Christian News and the attack upon Apologia Church. Here is the YouTube link:
It may be the first time we’ve ever done this, but the fact is, we’ve done this for so long, I just can’t be sure. But anyway, I got the weird idea today to do a live open phones segment on a particular subject, today, sola scriptura. That included issues of the canon as well. Great calls and questions! We
