James White, August 31, 2023August 31, 2023, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity Wrapping up our home stand before I head out next week with a pretty high energy program running through topics brought up on social media. We looked at how Francis is going to update his 2015 encyclical on the environment soon and asked, “If he can’t see the scam of climate change, how can he have much insight at all?” We looked at a horrific Harrari tweet and a few others, then we also explained what the nice LDS home schooling mom was talking about when she talked about bringing sacred souls to earth. Finished up looking at another man-centered (and failed) attempt to get around John 6 by Soteriology 101. 75 minutes today. Right now it looks like we will be shooting to do a program from the road after I am on with Chris Arnzen on Iron Sharpens Iron next Wednesday.

James White, May 18, 2023May 18, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism Ok, so its a bit herky jerky at the start but it clears up after about 20 minutes. – RichSo I was a bit worried when Rich said he was going to do something different–and this time I was right. The first part of the program is, well, sadly, not overly useful. I talked with Pastor Derrick Melton about his ministry, my many visits to Pryor, and his knife making skills. Unfortunately, most of that won’t work for you. You can skip past all the problems by going to this time stamp. From there we addressed a little Andy Stanley, the upcoming Women’s Conference at the SBC, and then I addressed the comments made by Matthew Barrett and Carl Trueman on the new Credo Podcast, which you won’t know about if you have ever challenged them at all, since they went on a blocking spree on Twitter today. But it is important to see this move to create a new ecumenism based upon dividing over Thomistic metaphysical formulations rather than, well, the gospel. Troubling times indeed!

Went mega-length today as we played portions from the debate just a few days ago in Houston featuring, on “team Calvin,” Dr. Sonny Hernandez and Dr. Theodore Zachariades, and on team, well, uh…Team Free Will, perhaps, anyway, Dr. Leighton Flowers and Dr. Johnathan Pritchett.  Had only heard about it because Pulpit and Pen, in wildly rejoicing in the food fight
