Steve Ray Parrots the “Baptists at Nicea” Line
Evidently Steve Ray doesn’t have much to say. Though he was quite proud of himself when he posted his many page pdf a few months ago (cobbled together, obviously, from pre-existing materials lurking in the recesses of his hard-drive), he quickly decided that though he had spent the weekend doing that, I wasn’t worth responding to, so, he wasn’t going
Cultic KJVOism, then a Deep Dive into Theological Method
Went more than 90 minutes today starting off with a warning about the abusive forms of cultic KJVOism out there, 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
Lots of Things to Interest a Wide Variety of Folks
Gave a brief report on my trip to Spain (having gotten home late last evening) and then spent time discussing Marco Rubio’s comments on attending a ceremony wherein marriage is profaned and blasphemed. Then we looked at an article by Roger Olson demonstrating that anti-Reformed sentiment leads many to reject God’s right to define Himself, and His own goodness. Then
The Pillays of South Africa, Self-Made Energy Crisis, Response to Derrick Brite
Final Dividing Line of 2022. Asked for prayer for Dennis Pillay and his wife in South Africa as end-of-life issues confront them, that God would give comfort and strength.

The section was taken from Dr. Barrett’s forthcoming Systematic Theology. However, this post is not an interaction with the fuller points of that section but rather on what Dr.
Responding to Scott Alt Regarding Sola Scriptura
Scott Alt recently posted “Questions for a Reformed Apologist.” Dr. White and I (TurretinFan) responded on the Dividing Line, but the following provide some additional notes.
The Aquinification of MBTS, Philosophical Trinitarianism, Responses to Soteriology 101
Well, 2024 started out a bit rough technically speaking, but we got past that and got to a discussion of Aquinas at MBTS, Dale Tuggy and philosophical trinitarianism, and finally responses to Leighton Flowers on the will of God and the proclamation of the gospel. Ninety minutes.
The Reformation Today, and Then
Talked about two relevant issues relating to Rome and the Reformation today, and used that as a springboard to start into a series I am going to do on the history of the Reformation. I have a pretty interesting perspective on the topic for a number of reasons. The first class I taught upon graduating from seminary was church history.
