Radio Free Geneva: Finishing Up John Lennox & John 6, Enduring Andrew Sluder’s Twisting of Scripture
Two very different portions of a more than 90 minute program today! First we got back to John Lennox’s book, Determined to Believe and its attempt to deal with John 6. We spent most of our time here, as it is invaluable to see how tradition can impact and, in a few places, completely overthrow the direct content of the text itself. Then after more than an hour we moved, briefly, to listening to a video from IFB, KJV Only preacher Andrew Sluder, “Calvinism is HOGWASH,” where we learned that we are only partly saved, and we are not adopted as the sons and daughters of God “until the rapture,” and a few other only semi-humorous things.

Started out with a discussion of the Supreme Court’s redefinition of “sex” from 1964 and the resultant degradation of morality and law in the United States. Then looked at the totalitarian movement of Black Lives Matter, and their promotion of transgenderism. Then we simply had to read through the thread of tweets posted by Thabiti Anyabwile wherein he states “Until that happens, we’ll have to choose Black solidarity b4 Xian to live.” Finally we looked at 2 Corinthians 4:4 and “the God (god) of this age,” and answered a question regarding the forms of theos in the New Testament. 90+ minutes.

Spent the majority of today’s program reviewing recent developments in the rapidly accelerating collapse of morality and ethics in the West, along with the rising totalitarianism of the left. Looked at a recent episode of The Good Wife and its tackling of religious rights vs. the absolute necessity of redefining marriage, and then read with some horror the words of Frank Bruni calling for Christians to abandon their faith and bow “to the enlightenments of modernity.” Then took a call on the atonement and the remnant in Israel.

Over the weekend Walid and Theodore Shoebat posted a number of items aimed my direction, and though most of what (especially) Walid produced is simply irrelevant (or too childish to respond to), it did provide a basis for a discussion of the centrality of the gospel, the nature of the gospel, and related issues, especially as they have to do with Roman Catholicism. Then at the end of this two-hour edition of the program I addressed Tim Guthrie’s conspiracy theory, my “army” of followers, and the rest of his wild eyed allegations.

Started off reading the Gospel of Thomas, and got through the first 39 “verses.” A bit hard to do “Story time with Grandpa Jimmy” today due to the onset of my annual allergies/asthma/theresatonofstuffintheairnow thing. But we will finish it up later. Then I played a video of interviews with abortion zealots outside the Supreme Court that is simply beyond words. And then we finished up the hour with a brief discussion of the Ligonier Statement on Christology that came out a few weeks ago. Enjoy!

Tried to do a live DL from up here in Flagstaff, Arizona. Worked for a bit, then would stop working. We’ve taken out some of the dead air and stuff from the audio copy. Appreciate the patience! Just talked a bit about the Platt/Trump situation this past weekend, then looked at some claims coming from TR advocates that once again leave them open to refutation from well-read opponents in debate (Muslims, Mormons, etc.).

We reviewed the brief Twitter conversation I had with the author of Allah: A Christian Response regarding whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. That moved us directly into a review of the video linked below by Simply Seerah Studios. The video is very well done, and provides a great opportunity to dialogue and discuss.

John Samson continues teaching on the doctrine of justification by faith alone, the imputation of Christ's righteousness and how Paul and James compliment each other on the matter.

Did the program live on the road from Indianapolis this evening, looking at the amazing secular tyranny in California, then a discussion of the challenges we are all facing as believers in these changing and unique times, and finishing with a look at some Taylor Marshall tweets.

Today we did a Road Trip DL in the rain up here in Colorado, focusing upon the I Am sayings of Jesus and using them as an example of what believing, exegesis looks like in contrast with modern methods, or the supposedly superior "pre-modern" method seen in Scholasticism, etc. Tomorrow we will be doing on "Open Zoom" program with your questions!
