Unfortunately, the program wasn't about Ehrman finally taking a stand on the Qur'an (that would be quite the news!).  Instead, I started off with some comments on Ehrman's new book (I am about halfway through it) and how I hope to use its release as a teaching opportunity to address a wider set of issues.  The kind of arguments in his new book will be thrown at every one of our young people in the coming decades. Then I moved back to a topic we have covered a few times, that of the relationship between the Qur'an and the Christian Scriptures.  I had planned on responding to some comments made by Shabir Ally in our debate in Erasmia, South Africa, regarding Surah 5:47, but a series of emails from Farhan Qureshi prompted me to get to it today on the program.  We went a bit in depth, to be sure, but hopefully with sufficient clarity to be of use to most in our audience. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8jZdnZcq-I

Well, I did say it would be an experiment, and, well, it was a failed experiment. I thought it would be cool to let folks get in touch via Zoom and ask about a textual variant they particular are interested in. I get folks contacting me privately about things like that all the time. So, we fired stuff up, opened the Zoom room up and…got clobbered with teens playing games. Couldn’t get a single person lined up with a serious question. So, I threw it open to the Twitterverse and we only got one or two requests. So, I filled with information about how we examine variants, looking mainly at Mark 1:1, 1:2, and John 5:3-4. So, hopefully that will be helpful for a few folks, but other than that, I need to go wash the soot off my clothes from the ashes of the program and get ready to press on! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTQAc63vIlE

Started off commenting on the MANDATORY guidelines for “private gatherings” in the Soviet Socialist State of Kalifornia (i.e., Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings), and noting that this will become a permanent aspect of our lives if we fall into the abyss of socialism on November 3rd. Then we took calls on a wide variety of topics, but a major portion of the time was on the topic of Roman Catholicism (I’d say at least half the program). We also talked a little about 1689 Federalism and the deity of Christ in Calvin. Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzyBaJI-cTk

I was joined in studio by TurretinFan as we continued our review of the encounter between Paul Helm and William Lane Craig, focusing today especially upon the key problems with Molinism. Started the program reading from Dr. James Anderson's recent article asking some probing questions about Molinism as well. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU4n6BLIdnk
