Started off with a quick look at the simple crash in Australian live births in December of 2021–hmm, what could explain that I wonder? 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.

Road Trip: Debate: Catholic/Protestant – Night 2 – How Does One Find Peace with God? James White vs Jimmy Akin, First Baptist Church, Livingston, Louisiana, 4/25/24
Looked at some claims about Aquinas by Norm Geisler, including a quick look at John 13:19, and then started to respond to the second in the series from Baptist Dogmatics regarding Matthew 24:36. What is “theological” or “dogmatic” exegesis? Well, we will find out more as we continue our review and response. But not tomorrow, though we plan on doing
