James White, June 7, 2022June 7, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism Started off telling the story of Calvin and Sadoleto, one of the most important interactions in the early period of the Reformation, and then using Calvin’s response as a spring-board to look at a number of other relevant issues today once again related to sola scriptura, tradition, etc. 90 minutes. We also live-streamed for the first time on Twitch, which, I am told, is mainly for gamers. One commented at the end of the program, “Worst game stream ever.” Yes, I’m sure it was!

James White, May 12, 2022May 12, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line Had a little bit of tech difficulty at the start, so I am not completely certain how long we went, but we spent the first part of the program going more in depth on the 6th Canon of Nicea in response to Michael Lofton’s amazing response on YouTube. 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.

Started off with more on the continuing developments with Francis, Fernandez, and the Roman Church, moving sort of seamlessly into @ReformedtoRome’s attempt to use Acts 15 as a defeater of sola scriptura. Then we looked at some recent @Soteriology101 statements on the idea of being made “better” so as to believe in Calvinism.
