Judas and Open Theism, Preston Sprinkle and Pronoun Hospitality
Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/ Two portions to the program today, the first dealing with Warren McGrew and the question, “Could Judas have done the right thing and not betrayed Jesus?” in reference to Jesus’ self-identification in John 13:19. Interesting stuff! Then we looked at Preston Sprinkle’s new book, Embodied, and examined his defense of “pronoun hospitality.” ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqcbyt684HE
James White and Michael Brown debate the central issue of God's Sovereignty and Election at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina. In a debate marked by mutual respect and brotherhood, these two apologists do not hesitate to press each other on the implications of their beliefs. The debate includes 25 minute opening statements, plenty of interaction, and audience questions. If you want to hear a biblically based, intra-mural, brotherly debate that is clear and direct, this is the one to listen to. Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/
Started off with a new Reasonable Faith video featuring William Lane Craig and the question “Is the Trinity Essential?” Half an hour on that one. Then we looked at Bart Ehrman’s claims about Jesus, heaven and hell, another half hour. Then we picked up a few topics, including Pete Buttigieg, a guy named Dave Barnhart, rapper Flame’s conversion to Lutheranism, and Trent Horne’s question about the origin of sin in Calvinist thought. 90 minutes!

Only went an hour today but covered a number of topics including some statements by various "progressive" ministers, a passing dismissal of presuppositionalism that said more than its author intended, and finally a quick look at Aquinas on John 10:27-30.

Started off with a brief discussion of the constant problem with Islamic apologetics—the necessary double standard it has to employ to defend the Qur’an on one hand, and attack the Bible on the other. Then we moved back to the Russell Moore/Andy Stanley discussion, once again noting fundamental issues of ecclesiology and Scriptural authority lying at the root of the topic.

Decided to do a program about 15 hours after getting home from Australia, so I hope I made some sense! Seemed OK to me anyway! Talked about the explosion of egalitarianism in light of the “go home” controversy first, then moved on to developments in the transgender movement’s attempts to destroy any meaningful understanding of sexuality and gender. Eventually got to report on the trip, though I think I spent a solid 15 minutes or so on something that may only be important to me: basic rules for approaching a speaker after he has spoken. Don’t get mad at me, try standing for a few hours in my shoes first! Then we went over the debates and events “down under.” I did not even make mention of some of the wild-eyed attacks launched by folks who simply wish they were doing similar things—those attacks stand as their own refutation.
Next program on Thursday will be a Dividing Line/Apologia Radio Mash Up from ReformCon. Join us…when? I haven’t a clue! Stay tuned! Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/

Well Thanksgiving is coming up so we spent some time talking about thanks, contentment, etc., from a biblical perspective. Then we moved back to reading a bit from James Cone, made application to Talbert Swan, and then moved from there to an article recently posted from Dr. Matt Hall at SBTS regarding “racial reconciliation.” We asked some honest questions of Dr. Hall that I think really need answers. Let’s hope for them soon! Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/
