Dr. White explains how his debate with Richard Hopkins started late, with an opponent that did not understand Reformed Theology or the use of a Greek lexicon very well. The “mainstreaming” of the LDS image leads to less debating and lower quality responses to Dr. White’s book Letter to a Mormon Elder. A caller asks about Roman Catholicism in relation to church history and the doctrines of grace.

Today on the DL
Well, definitely an interesting program today. Started out with Karl Keating’s e-letter and some stuff about comments on Jimmy Akin’s blog. Then we talked about the PCUSA moving to adopt new terminology for the Trinity, like “Mother, Child, and Womb.” I’m not making this up. Then I looked at Greg Boyd’s attempt to get around John 9. Then, in response

Vanishing Freedoms and More Interaction with Trent Horn on Church History
First half an hour or so we talked about Covid and passports and freedoms and the like, then we moved into looking at Trent Horn’s response to a small portion of our discussion of his 2019 Catholic Answers talk on Protestant “distortions” of church history, focusing upon the idea of “the argument from silence.” Almost an hour and 45 minutes

Crucifixion or Crucifiction? Ahmed Deedat Examined, and Found Wanting
Spent most of the program today listening to Ahmed Deedat and taking apart his horrible arguments against the crucifixion. We got to the point where we are ready to tackle his thirty arguments against the crucifixion “from the Bible.” We will discover his arguments have very little to do with any honest or meaningful reading of Scripture at all.

Peter D Williams of Catholic Voices argues that the reformers were wrong and that the ultimate

Tim Staples vs. Catholic Answers on Matt. 5:29
Matthew 5:29-30 29 If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for

21st Century Errors about Prayer’s Efficacy
On the same Catholic Answers Live episode (May 8, 2008), in which Steve Ray seemingly endorsed 18th Century superstitions (see my previous discussion), Mr. Ray discussed another Rosary-related topic. A caller (Willie in Fredericksburg, TX) asked: I tell somebody I’m going to say a rosary for them, and then I do, and in the process I might have told somebody
