Did an hour and forty minutes today answering questions from two friends of mine—but you will find them to be useful questions! A great deal on the topics of how Christians are to respond to changing cultural situations and challenges, and then a solid hour or so on theodicy, God and the existence of evil. I did start off with about twenty minutes on July 4th and what that might mean in the very strange year of 2020.

Further Thoughts on the Origins of the Term “Biblicism”
Chris Whisonant, , Church History, Reformed Baptist Issues
As there continues to be pushback against those of us who would refer to ourselves as “Biblicists” (or, better yet, as “Reformed Biblicists“), I have been looking at the history of the usage of the term.

Thanks for letting us have a little fun with making this announcement. It’s a big one, so we thought it would be neat to get some speculation going.

Bill Nye

For the first hour we thought through the conclusion to a presentation from Dr. Jemar Tisby, considering standpoint epistemology, whiteness, etc. Then I looked at the “shocking” statements I made in the debate with Dr. Riddle on the TR.

I had so many people contact me asking whether what Glenn Beck was saying was classical LDS theology I took the time to go over his comments and compare them with official LDS sources. Result? Who knows? But hopefully it was educational!

Responding to Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live on Sola Scriptura

If you are active in reaching out to our Roman Catholic friends and family members, this is an important program for you. We spent most of our time going deeply into a clip from CA Live on “tradition” in the Bible. Then we played a brief clip from the British Parliament on critical race theory that was real encouraging, and
