Examined and responded to Roger Olson’s rather weak attempt to deflect the charge of Marcionism (found here), and then finally got to at least halfway through Austin Fischer’s opening statement in the recent “Calvinism” debate.
I will be in Boulder, Colorado on Thursday, and I am uncertain of what Rich’s plans are, so keep an eye out!

Started out with a discussion of the “labyrinth” in the theology of John Calvin, a heart-felt plea to hear Calvin’s warning to not go beyond Scripture and to honor God in humbly accepting the limitation of divine revelation. Then we took some great calls and also listened to some clips from John Martignoni, a Roman Catholic apologist.
Started off briefly noting Peter Lumpkins’ absence (fully expected of course), then took some quick calls on a wide variety of topics, including a discussion of the high priestly work of Christ and an upcoming debate with atheists. I then moved into reading a large portion of chapter 4 of Love Wins, illustrating the man-centeredness of the Arminian fundamentalism that
Reported on the past week up in Salt Lake City, the witnessing at the Conference, and the two debates and one dialogue as well. Lots of background information and side stories! Then at the end I looked at the result of the “hug heard round the world” in Dallas and the entire mantra of “black forgiveness,” looking at James Cone’s
Started off pondering the level of evil displayed in the demonic screeching filling the land in response to the Dobbs decision, then moved to an analysis of Thomas Aquinas’ comments on Romans 4 and again the question, is this the Great Tradition?

OK, I was going to divide the program up evenly, with 45 minutes on each topic, but…I lost track of time and ended up going one hour on my review of Pastor Rogers’ anti-Calvinism book, and only thirty minutes finishing up listening to the cross-ex with Abdullah Kunde on Surah 5:44ff. Next week I intend to get back to the
So while I was gone Rich installed a new, bigger board in the big studio, so we had to try it out. Started with a discussion of the incredible amount of Nazi propaganda online these days, masquerading as Christian belief in supposedly Reformed churches. Lots of Confederates, Presbyterians, and 1689ers in the movement. Looked at a few posts and discussed
Did a quick report on my trip “down under,” then opened the phones and covered a pretty wide variety of topics from callers for the rest of the hour. And no, I don’t remember all of them. You will have to listen to find out! Here is the YouTube link:
