We examined Leighton Flowers’ attempt to a-contextualize John 6 (resulting in the inevitable conclusion that the many deep promises Christians have always claimed from John’s Gospel are actually not for us at all!) and hence to defend synergism and the autonomous will of man. Then we looked at Zakir Hussain’s comments about Deuteronomy 18 and how this could not be fulfilled in Jesus due to Zakir’s misreading of Deuteronomy 34:10.

Did manage to discuss a few other topics at first, including some gay marriage related topics, but spent the majority of the hour looking at this thread from the Catholic Answers Forums, once again illustrating the fact that the folks who regularly frequent such forums just don’t seem to have an overly voracious desire for the truth.
Went just over 90 minutes today on the program, wandering about a bit at the start on church history issues and Ignatius, and then moving on to discuss the Andy Stanley comments in the interview with Russell Moore, finishing off with a half hour plus walk-through of 1 Corinthians 1:18ff.

This means I no longer really have the freedom to do a few stories
Spent nearly two hours in the AOMax studio today diving into the issues surrounding the proper translation and understanding of John’s testimony to Jesus in his Gospel, prompted by the exchange between Anthony Rogers and Brandon Tatum on Instagram, found here.
The ECM volumes of Mark arrived ten minutes before the program started, so that sort of distracted me, so I spent some time talking textual issues, CBGM, etc., before moving to the Mormons and their fear of Covid.
