podcast 381 – Mainstream Christian Theologies in the year 240: What Trinitarian Apologists Don’t Know

Aug 15 2024 70 mins  
In videos like this one and this one, trinitarian apologists continue to push false narratives about the history of mainstream Christian theologies, like these (ordered from least to most plausible): In this historical presentation, focusing on passages from Tertullian, Origen, and Novatian, I explain the actual early history of mainstream Christian theologies. Each of these

podcast 380 – Dr. Dustin Smith on Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John

May 16 2024 58 mins  
To understand a book as its author intended, you don’t look to its future, but rather to its past. What has this author read, and what could he presuppose his audience to have read? These other pieces of literature are like tools in the author’s hands. The biblical book of Proverbs famously features a vivid personification, Lady Wisdom. She pleads with people to see

podcast 379 – AI and I evaluate my debate with James White

Mar 22 2024 67 mins  
The way to evaluate a debate is to actively chart and compare the arguments made by each side. Debaters call this “flowing” a debate. I sat down and did this, working carefully all the way through my recent debate with James White on the question “Is Jesus Yahweh?” In this episode I’ll give you my evaluation of the debate, with an assist from the c

podcast 376 – The Trinity, the Deity of Christ, and the Best Craig – Part 2

Feb 18 2024 53 mins  
This is the final part of my response to some recent podcast episodes by Dr. William Lane Craig here and here. Dr. Craig accuses me of being disingenuous in claiming that his minimal, so-called “biblical” doctrine consisting of two sentences is not enough to count as a trinitarian theology. I stand by that claim, and point out that it is unclear why Dr. Craig thinks

podcast 375 – The Trinity, the Deity of Christ, and the Best Craig – Part 1

Feb 17 2024 55 mins  
In this episode I first explain what I mean by “the best Craig” and why in my view we’re not getting that in some recent responses to my arguments. I then respond to some recent podcast episodes by Dr. William Lane Craig here and here, where Craig is not engaging with my arguments, instead dismissing me as a fringe kook who can be safely ignored. I note how quick
