Basically, we documented that Rome dogmatically tells her apologists what to find in history and, shockingly, that’s exactly what they find! Amazing! Then I went into some quotes from Matthew Levering’s Engaging the Doctrine of Revelation in reference to the actual perspectives and viewpoints to be found in the Roman Catholic authors being promoted by the staff at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in their book recommendations. We covered a number of amazing statements from social media on the same topic as well.

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,

Then we went with all that stuff that you can’t talk about on YouTube, if you know what I mean: you know, the failed vaccines and the Omicron scare, etc. Then we shifted to theology and talked a bit about the discussion on divine simplicity, the role of natural theology, etc., going on in conservative Reformed circles right now. Then we looked at Tim Stratton’s “EDD” argument, the idea that if you believe in “Exhaustive Divine Determinism” then you are left with “a god of deceit” who forces you to believe wrong things and therefore you can never know when you believe true things. We compared this silly philosophical trick with the Biblical perspective. Went just over 90 minutes today!
