Let’s Make Cyril Lucaris Great Again!

Surely one of the most eclectic DL’s in our history, any only partially on purpose! I had intended to address three issues: the discussion over on the ETC blog, some comments on the deep insights available from the 119th Psalm, and a discussion of the Islamic understanding of the nature of man as created by God. Got to all three,

Trump is not King, Internet Mobs, 4th Grade Playground
Started off with noting a fund raiser for Joshua Haymes’ little boy (kidney transplant) hoping our audience will pull together and help them over the top. Looked at some odd Jimmy Akin comments about Mary and sinfulness, then talked a bit about Trump’s promises and the real, honest mountains he will have to climb to fulfill them, and how unlikely it is Republicans have the backbone to make the hard decisions. Then we started responding to yet another Stephen Wolfe tweet calling me, or at least my views, “moronic.” We demonstrate Dr. Wolfe is lacking in theological acumen (how is that for a nice way to put it?). Finished up with some words for the 4th graders who are tossing sand in the air, demanding attention and not allowing sufficient time for an adult, rational, and thorough response from Tobias Riemenschneider.

Did the Father Forsake the Son, World View and Aristotle
James White, April 5, 2022April 5, 2022, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism Today’s program came to you live from Las Vegas, Nevada (where it is quite windy today!). Our first Road Trip DL in a while, but we won’t be home for about three weeks, so, get used to it! Addressed some comments from Dan Wallace about the Father “forsaking” the Son on the cross (the old Psalm 22 quotation issue), even looking at some textual critical issues related to the account in Mark. Then I addressed the issues that came up after the last DL relating to my exchange with Pastor Steve Meister and the whole philosophy/theology discussion going on in our day. We might be able to get a program in on Thursday, but it is a travel day, and it is more likely that we will be able to do one on Friday.
