Spent the first half of the program looking at the centrality of thanksgiving as a Christian virtue, attitude, and action, and then looked briefly at a recent convert story, and then a tweet on the perpetual virginity of Mary that led to a whole discussion of how traditions develop and why we must be able to examine them by Scripture.

Aquinas Invades the Reformed Baptists, Tim Stratton Continued
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.
