James White, February 24, 2023February 24, 2023, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism We had a technical problem at the start but managed to get in a full hour on the road once again, this time from West Texas. Addressed the Master’s Seminary issue relating to their filing a DMCA against the man who did the work to demonstrate the problems with Peter Sammons’ use of sources in an online class. This is just a matter of integrity and honesty, really, and I hope TMS will do the right thing. Then we looked at the beating of that teacher by a huge black boy recently at a school and asked the unaskable, is there something demonic going on? We finished up looking at “Inseparable Operations” again and asking, what does this actually accomplish for Christ’s sheep?

We took the time today to go back over the controversy that has developed when I asked my debate opponent Saturday afternoon to tell us what one of the key texts on the atonement (and in my opening statement) actually means, and he refused to do so. I played the audio of the exchange, put the text on the screen, and we invested an hour and 15 minutes on the topic (after some introductory topics). Not sure if we will be able to squeeze another show in this week, as I am teaching at GBTS Thursday through Saturday.

Covered a lot of ground today from the RV park outside Columbus, Ohio, including a look at the Son of Man in Mark 9, some preview of the upcoming debate with Peter van Kleeck, some discussion of cultural developments such as Illinois declaring open season on its own citizens, the emptiness of “conservatism” without a real world-view foundation, etc., and a quick note on MBTS becoming a center for the promotion of the thought and writings of Thomas Aquinas. Honestly don’t think there will be any room to sneak in another program this week, sadly!
