Then we talked about what seems like a really silly objection to the faith and how to turn it into a door-opening gospel presentation. Then I finished looking at the second in a series of articles from Baptist Dogmatics, here they our brothers seek to offer some kind of a theological “exegesis” of Matthew 24:36 which turns out to be nothing more than a theologizing of the text. Finished up with a brief recognition of the soon debut of the 1946 movie. I made mention of a sermon I gave on this topic to prepare our people for this very movie’s release here, and here and here are Dividing Lines we have done, also to prepare you to be a good witness at this time.

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

Well, I did say it would be an experiment, and, well, it was a failed experiment. I thought it would be cool to let folks get in touch via Zoom and ask about a textual variant they particular are interested in. I get folks contacting me privately about things like that all the time. So, we fired stuff up, opened the Zoom room up and…got clobbered with teens playing games. Couldn’t get a single person lined up with a serious question. So, I threw it open to the Twitterverse and we only got one or two requests. So, I filled with information about how we examine variants, looking mainly at Mark 1:1, 1:2, and John 5:3-4. So, hopefully that will be helpful for a few folks, but other than that, I need to go wash the soot off my clothes from the ashes of the program and get ready to press on!
