James White, January 27, 2025January 27, 2025, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Ken Wilson, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters Went a full 90 minutes today starting with Corey Mahler and the Stone Choir Cult’s attack on my last evening, followed up by Mahler’s amazing promotion of Marcion’s gnosticism. I used his false statements about the name Yahweh to go into church history and trace the damage that was done by the loss of the knowledge of Hebrew and how this impacted the development of sub- and anti-biblical traditions. We also looked at a claim by Leighton Flowers about church history (always entertaining), a sola scriptura meme, and a brief inquiry as to whether JD Hall’s elders know he is back to doing what destroyed him, his church, and his ministry, only two years ago.

Didn’t pull any punches today, folks. When the Nazis come after you it is time to shoot straight in return. Took on some nasty players today, but had to provide background information on, for example, the origination of the Mishnah, Gemara, and Talmud, etc. Hopefully useful to everyone, and a warning for those trying to “sneak in” to the church with their hatred.

James White, December 9, 2021December 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line Well, I really was not trying to make today’s program a pre-view of what is upcoming for my students when teaching Church History and Apologetics, but, we did cover that area. First portion of the program was a bit “in house,” discussing the rise of Thomism in the midst of Reformed Baptists, so that some are accusing myself and Jeff Johnson and Owen Strachan of “heterodoxy” based upon their extremely narrow positions. Then we moved on to responding to arguments made by Tim Stratton and Tyson James, two Molinist proponents, focusing upon Stratton’s reading of a single paragraph from Calvin and the concept of God as “the author of evil.” Pointed argumentation to be sure. An hour and forty-five minutes in length.
