Started off with the truth about 10/31/1517 (nobody at the time had any idea anything important had happened), which earned me the name “Dr. Downer” from Jeff Durbin last night at church. Then we talked about the recent Synod in Rome and the truly massive implications this has for Roman claims of authority, etc. Then we addressed this article from Jared Longshore, posted on Reformation Day, of all days, diving into Hebrews 7 and 8 especially, dealing with this key text in the debate over Calvin’s doctrine of paedobaptism. I thought we would only go 90 minutes, but we actually went past two hours by a bit!

Upcoming Trip, Then Story Time with Grampa Jimmy
James White, April 28, 2023April 28, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eschatology, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity Talked a bit about the upcoming trip, new new rig and studio, and the fact that HOPEFULLY next Tuesday we will do a live DL from the rig in the new studio AND at the same time auction off a gorgeous Jeffrey Rice LSB rebind (I am told on Twitter it is a “LSB 2 Column in Steel Grey Badalassi Carlo” whatever all that means). Then we talked about enough cultural insanity to make it necessary to not post this to YouTube, and finally we moved to Story Time with Grampa Jimmy, this time reading the unpublished, unfinished preface to a never-written commentary on Chrysostom’s homilies by John Calvin. Important historical insights to be gained! Pray for safe travel and that we will be able to do the DL from the new studio while on the road (somewhere in Texas) next week!

What are We Conserving? What are we Debating?
James White, May 30, 2023May 30, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity Started off with some thoughts on Ted Cruz’s tweet about Uganda and Charlie Kirk’s comments about conservatism. What are we supposed to be conserving if such basic, foundational truths as family and marriage are negotiable? Then we looked at an article Catholic Answers published last year in response to the “White Question” and then finished up talking about debates (as a long thread had developed in Twitter on the topic).
