Started with the Islamic argument that no one can produce anything as majestic as the Qur’an, then took a lengthy call from Pierre, our LDS caller, on the doctrine of God. Then we had some fairly technical calls on two different texts as well.
First three quarters of today’s program involved talking to a brother from Florida about what kind of question he can ask of his Muslim friends at a presentation on the Qur’an as the “final revelation from God.” I made reference to this video and played it during my response. I also mentioned the video below, which I had just posted
Did a few more minutes commentary on the atonement in response to David Allen’s Liberty presentation, and then took calls on such subjects as the sovereignty of God, theodicy, original sin and infant salvation. Here is the YouTube link:
The entire program today was a review of comments made by Marcus Borg and NT Wright specifically about issues such as historicity, worldviews, Q, and the like. Here’s the program.
Started off with the truth about 10/31/1517 (nobody at the time had any idea anything important had happened), which earned me the name “Dr. Downer” from Jeff Durbin last night at church.

Started off with a few quick comments on the most recent Unbelievable broadcast, but then spent most of an hour playing clips from the Ehrman/Licona discusion on their “faith journeys” that aired the week before.

Addressing Patrick Madrid on Romans 8, and how Romanism parallels Arminianism. Reviewing and refuting James Akins’ notes on the inceptive/ingressive aorist in John 6:44, and a little lesson on inceptive and constantive aorists. Played a clip of David Curry, a former protestant, on the “unbloody sacrifice” of the mass and the protestant use of the book of Hebrews. Open lines:Addressing Robert Sugenis
Took the first half hour to catch up with the Popes (yes, plural), and the continuing elevation of a small sexual minority to the position of an uber-class of privilege, and then launched into a 90 minute Radio Free Damascus, focusing on Yusuf Ismail and at the end, Bashir Varnia.

Jumped off from a few Twitter conversations to discuss “eucharistic miracles” and related topics, all pretty much on Roman Catholicism. I did start of the show with Biden’s “I am not going to drop out, and we will beat Donald Trump in 2020!” statement from earlier today.
