Litton Becomes Biden, Todd’s Category Error, Hank Fictionalizes History
Mainly addressed three topics today, Ed Litton’s egregious excuses for his plagiarism publicly promulgated at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Todd Friel’s argument against seeing Romans 13 as having a basis in God’s law and definitions, and finally a few more minutes examining Hank Hanegraaff’s claims about church history.

Graeme Codrington grew up in the conservative Baptist context of South Africa, even graduating from the Baptist Union Seminary in Johannesburg. Over the past decade, however, he has taken a leading role in promoting "acceptance" of homosexuality and gay marriage in South African churches. In October of 2015 Dr. Codrington engaged James White in debate on the subject of homosexuality at a spacious church in Johannesburg before an audience of about five hundred. The issues were clearly addressed, many questions answered, and the benefit is now for all who can watch and listen and consider the arguments provided by both sides.

First half hour was on how lies, when they are repeated, take on a life of their own, and destroy everything that is good. Then we listened to William Lane Craig debating Paul Helm and keyed in on the central issue of Molinism, the fact that subjunctive conditionals exist and they do so outside of God’s control. And today we got into more of a theological aspect of seeing how Molinism engages other elements of theology (such as sin, regeneration, etc.).
Started off noting that the entire social justice issue has been declared to be a non-issue today---so thankful we will never have to talk about it again! Then we looked at a little Kyle James Howard (that always gets you smiling), and then moved on to more important things. Responded to Bassam Zawadi on a post he wrote about Christian history, and then played a clip from my debate in South Africa with Yusuf Ismail. Finally I went through 15 objections a convert from Mormonism to Judaism posted recently involving prophecies, textual variants, and the like. 80 minutes!

A tale of two programs today: I was going to briefly address a Roman Catholic on Twitter and that "briefly" became fifty minutes. But then I switched over to a review of an interview with Dr. Mike Licona for a total of about 1:40 for the program today.

So I had my opportunity to respond to the firestorm of criticism that erupted over the weekend regarding a 545 word, 2 paragraph item I posted on FaceBook last Friday. In this Dividing Line I address the issue of fatherlessness, Planned Parenthood’s genocide of blacks, the sin of rebellion and disrespect for God-ordained authority, and, most importantly, the fact that the Gospel is race-free. I also addressed specific critics, including Joel McDurmon, who chose to join the “pile” for reasons known only to themselves. A straight forward discussion that will surely only make the ethnic gnostics angrier, but one that had to be undertaken.

Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/ The title hard does it justice. Covered a lot of ground, including Bill C6 in Canada, the Victorian legislation in Australia, Jake Tapper tweeted an absurd hit piece on Tom Buck, Karen Swallow Prior vowing to never vote for a Republican again, LeCrae and non-partisan performances, Baylor collapsing to the LGBTQ revolution, Disney firing Gina Carano, the Religion of the Masked, scary news about vaccination deaths, and then finally a lengthy revisit in light of criticism of our Romans 13 comments.

Dedicated the entire hour to a discussion of the Papacy in light of the visit of Francis to the United States. Talked about biblical and historical issues relating to the Papacy, and why there are so few today offering a meaningful criticism of Rome's claims. Hopefully a helpful reminder!

First hour we played material relevant to apologetic methodology as William Lane Craig continues his very interesting, if somewhat confusing, interaction with the debate Sye did on the radio. But we only got halfway through that, as I wanted to review some comments by Karlo Broussard on catholic.com attempting (badly) to parallel atheism with Protestantism (specifically, a belief in sola scriptura). We will continue the review of WLC on the next program.

Before we fired up the RFG theme today I addressed the open letter that has been sent to Beth Moore about her views of homosexuality. I did so because it seems others (noted on the program) seem to be attempting to run interference for her so as to keep her from having to take a stand on one of the most definitional issues of our day. Then we fired up the RFG and addressed Leighton Flowers’ attempt to obfuscate his own horrific “choice meats” analogy by accusing me of ripping that statement out of its context. I documented, to the nth degree, that I did no such thing, and that the context is exactly what I insisted it was by not only playing his own video, but transcribing the words themselves. We then looked at another clip between Flowers and Roger Olsen that demonstrates the radical nature of Flowers’ commitment to absolute autonomy. Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/
