A Few Pope Francis Stories, A Bit on Ken Wilson and Augustine, and Open Phones
Ran through some quick discussions of a few topics in the first half hour, and then took calls in the second. Covered a few Francis the Marxist stories, and then looked briefly at Ken Wilson’s anti-Calvinist polemic (dressed up as a work of history), The Foundation of Augustinian-Calvinism. Then pointed folks to a new resource for Qur’an studies, Fadel Soliman’s Bridges’ Translation of the Ten Qira’at of the Noble Quran. Went to the phones with calls on teaching teens apologetics, church history, reaching Mormons, etc. Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Vtp1oCxQo
Started off with a (to me) really interesting discussion of a recent study in textual criticism that led me, in the minutes just before the program, off into the woods of Mormonism and BYU. At least I thought it was fascinating! But we eventually got out of the woods and did open phones on a wide variety of topics (isn’t that what open phones are all about?). Almost 90 minutes in length today. Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/

Well, It IS Live Webcasting....
Well, you never know what is going to happen when you start up the Dividing Line theme, or in this case, the Radio Free Damascus theme. We provided a rather full response to this interview ( http://callingchristians.com/2014/03/19/exclusive-interview-shaykh-mohammed-awal-on-james-white-and-dawah-advice/ ) with Sheikh Awal regarding our debate in Detroit, providing all the background material, etc., for the listener to judge. Then we played about 15 minutes or more of the actual debate (which is being uploaded even now to YouTube). Then Ijaz Ahmed himself called in—ok, well, he called, but to make it easier on him, we called him back (as he is overseas, it seems). We started talking, and when he started to try to hold me accountable for everything Sam Shamoun says or does, I asked Sam to call, not knowing if he was or was not listening. Sam did, and well, it got real interesting after that, I assure you! A very lively 45 minutes, but one that may try the patience of some. In any case, not your normal DL, to be sure!

Pastor Mike Winger posted a response to me on July 23, 2019 on the subject of the atonement. I watched it at that time, but never responded to it, as I was traveling, Michael Brown had responded to me as well, and I just didn’t get around to it. But I kept it in the back of my mind, and listened to it again on a ride, so we started responding today, and will try to wrap up replying to it tomorrow.

Spent nearly 90 minutes listening to the entire presentation by William Lane Craig on Roman Catholicism. No one can accuse us of misrepresenting him, to be sure! A vital discussion of why the “Mere Christianity” movement is unbiblical, dangerous, and untenable in the long run. Then a brief review of my trip to California this weekend, my attempted interaction with Pastor Steve Tassi, and then a quick review of Jacob Prasch’s most recent video hit piece.

looking at the Ruckman-esque behavior of one Cody Zorn, a KJV pastor down in Georgia. Then we did a major shift in direction and did a full hour lecture on theology, Scripture, and how we define our faith. We eventually touched on Calvin, natural theology, and the current controversy over the definition of "divine simplicity." Another program to keep the A&O truckers happy!

Spent an hour and 15 minutes with Dr. Jeffery Johnson, President of GBTS, talking about his new book, The Revealed God (2023). Then I responded to a tweet storm from Stephen Wolfe just this morning and talked a bit about what it means to be "truly Reformed." An hour and 45 minutes.
