A debate between Dr. James White and George Bryson on the subject of Calvinism.
Started off looking carefully, and hopefully fairly, at the video of Pope Francis speaking to a young boy whose atheist father had died. We examined the reality that Francis is an inclusivist, a person who clearly does not believe that explicit confession of faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation. We likewise considered other issues relating to Roman Catholicism, the
We continued our examination of two recent programs on The Deen Show featuring “Christian scholar” Dr. Laurence Brown.

Calls on the nature of imputation, eis at Acts 2:38, a little something about Mary, and I likewise discussed some threads on the Catholic Answers forums, including one that had just begun about praying the Rosary for me instead of calling in. Ryan L did not call, but
Had an all-British Dividing Line today, discussing a number of items. One caller asked about Mormonism the last half hour so we spent some time on that. We will try to do an all Scottish DL next week!
