Trip Report and Debate Review

Apr 14 2025 62 mins

On my way home (get home Thursday), currently in Texas, and did a Road Trip DL reporting on the trip, and the encouragement of fine pastors and servants of Christ. Then we did a review of the two debates, commenting on key issues.

Road Trip Dividing Line: Responding to Alex O'Connor

Apr 09 2025 75 mins

Talked a bit about the current trip, but mainly focused upon comments made by Alex O'Connor on a webcast regarding the gospel of John and in particular comments he made about John 12:44 and John 1:1. Hope folks will be helped by the study!

Road Trip Dividing Line: Jeff Durbin and the Jewish Representative, then Jay Dyer on

Apr 01 2025 74 mins

Rich worked hard to work on the audio challenges we have had in the past and the changes made it a lot easier for me to play video clips on the program today. So, we looked at Jeff Durbin's exchange with the Jewish representative in Georgia, and responded to Joel Webbon's criticism of that exchange. Then we looked at some tweets from Stephen Wolfe on sacralism, and finished up play

Story Time with Uncle Jimmy: The Acts of Paul and Thecla

Mar 26 2025 95 mins

As promised on today's program I read through The Acts of Paul and Thecla, commented on the Orthodox veneration of Thecla as a saint and "equal of the Apostles," and what we can learn about the context of the origination of this apocryphal mythology from the second century. By the way, here is the article I mentioned from the OCA website about Thecla.

I Told You the Sacralists Were Coming, Didn't I?

Mar 25 2025 96 mins

So Joel Webbon dropped a webcast about how the State is to correct the Church, and how this has been normative throughout church history. Well, do forgive me, but I've always opposed sacralism, still do, always will, and the errors and holes in the presentation, historically and logically, were big enough for me to drive my big GMC through, so, we did. Lots of stuff about Constanti

A Nation Divided, My Irrelevancy, the Finished Atonement

Mar 20 2025 60 mins

Started off with more evidence of how divided a nation the US is, then moved on to listen to some brief comments from He Who Judges from Afar, and then we moved into some thoughts about the debate with Joe Heschmeyer, specifically on what his point was in emphasizing the time gap between the cross and the Ascension.

A Divided Nation Then Thoughts on Ecumenical Councils

Mar 18 2025 66 mins

Reflected on the deep division that exists in Western Culture today and in the United States in particular, and then moved on to some of the Jay Dyer stuff and the continued need to have an in-depth discussion on the "7th Ecumenical Council," aka Nicea II.

Jay Dyer Implodes on the Playground; Yes, Joe, Bishop and Elder are the Same Office

Mar 13 2025 67 mins

About halfway through the program we had a power spike due to a storm blowing into Phoenix, but we got it all recorded anyway. First I dealt with the amazing explosion of infantile behavior by one Jay Dyer when I dared actually treat him like an adult in challenging him to defend Nicea II in debate. You won't believe his behavior. Then we transitioned into an examination of the rea

All About Ignatius with Timothy Easley

Mar 11 2025 98 mins

Spent ninety minutes talking Ignatius, recensions, manuscripts, etc. with Timothy Easley today! Definitely a program for church history geeks! Hope all two dozen of you enjoy it!

Excited to be home, but excited to head out in just a matter of weeks for the "Louisiana Loop" that will take me to southern Louisiana for a debate on April 4th, and then to northern Louisiana for a debate on the 10th. Talked a bit about last weekend's debates as well.
