Caught up on a number of articles I had saved before I leave tomorrow for St. Charles and other locations (see the banner ads for details). Right before the program started Dr. Michael Brown published an article about Twitter’s banning (ready for this?) “deadnaming.” Yeah. Deadnaming. That’s like when you call Bruce Jenner…Bruce Jenner instead of “Caitlyn.” So, in other words, it is Twitter demanding you bow your knee to the insanity and join in! It’s only going to get worse, folks, believe me. Anyway, we talked a bit about an article warning about “interfaith dialogues,” we talked about the upcoming pre-conference at G3 on Social Justice, and I finished off discussing the fact that I joined the membership of Apologia Church (Pastor Jeff Durbin) on Sunday, and intend to do what I can to edify the saints there (and through that work many others, since Apologia definitely has a focus upon wide distribution of the preached and taught Word). Obviously, this will not change the mission or focus of Alpha and Omega Ministries, it will only mean I am teaching and preaching and fellowshipping in a different location on Sundays.

Started off looking at issues relating to the rapid degradation of Western society, moved to a discussion of the upcoming debate in SoCal, and some comments relating to criticism posted of doing debates with Muslims over the weekend on FaceBook. Then we took calls on both the LGBT issue and on Romans 9. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwWcuS5yfIU

Did you know God is not afraid of new things? Yeah, you’d expect that from some squishy emergent type hipster, but Pope Francis? Yep, Pope Francis. This pontificate is going to be very interesting. Hope my RC apologist friends have invested in Advil. Anyway, followed that up with a clip I heard on Immaculate Heart Radio last night from a fellow who may well qualify as the Jack Chick of Catholic apologetics, and then started taking calls. Almost managed to get through the program without any references to last week’s eschatology discussion, but Rich snuck in one last call! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ekRUPpO7pI

Managed to sneak in a third Dividing Line this week (since I have no idea what the next few weeks will bring, for, uh, medical reasons). Yup, talked a bit more about fairness, consistency, etc., and then moved on to a bit more on textual criticism, traditionalism, and the Comma Johanneum. I don’t know when the next DL will be, but, we will let folks know here, on Twitter, and on Facebook. Unless, of course, we get kicked out of social media before then! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zt_6lL7Frw
