Learning Greek

We concluded our Radio Free Geneva series in response to Steve Gregg’s comments on Romans 9 (taken, basically, from the Forster/Marsten work from 1974) by playing another almost 30 minutes worth of his presentation, and taking a couple of calls. This program goes long (almost 80 minutes). This should wrap up this particular subject, to be sure.

I managed to get a good bit of ground covered in the Beckwith/George dialogue today, but once again, over and over again, the centrality of the Gospel, and the shallowness of ecumenism, were illustrated. Important interaction that, sadly, isn’t taking place nearly as often as it should in our truth-starved culture.

Started off with a discussion of Romans 9 and “prepared for destruction,” and then moved into a brief review of Paul Owen’s “I’m a Calvinist. No, really, I mean it” post on the oxymoronic website. Then in the second half of the program we took calls, the first of which was on critical claims about the Gospel of John.

I wish I could provide a rebuttal to the exegesis offered by The Gang, but I can’t, since David didn’t bother to listen to my presentation, so there wasn’t much to rebut. Still, one thing is now clear: the difference in methods is due to a fundamental difference in goals.

Albert Mohler played a clip from Larry King on his Friday broadcast (click here: go 12 minutes in). I will play it on the DL in the morning, but you might want to listen now. Bill Maher openly admits his deep prejudice (if he were a conservative, he’d be a bigot, but we all know liberals cannot be bigots).  Oh,
