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.

Radio Free Geneva: Reviewing Pastor Eric Hankin’s NOBTS Chapel Sermon on Election
Today on an edition of Radio Free Geneva (which included our newly re-done Radio Free Geneva theme!) I reviewed a sermon by Pastor Eric Hankins preached September 26, 2013 at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary on the subject of election. In this sermon Hankins basically seeks to reduce the concept of election to merely a call to service after salvation,

Augustine on Christ’s Bodily Absence
As we previously identified (link), Augustine had no concept of a continued bodily presence of Christ on Earth after the ascension. A very simple modus tolens logical argument shows that Augustine was not a Roman Catholic, in the sense of holding to the modern Roman Catholic view of the Eucharist. The argument is this: Premise 1: If Augustine were a

On the Sinfulness of Calling Apostasy…Apostasy
Some comments were made regarding the ever-developing Beckwith saga (including Frank Beckwith posting canons from the Council of Orange) here. Beckwith dares to reduce the issue of Rome’s gospel to mere theories regarding imputation versus infusion. Another comment was left by Dr. Michael Bauman, accusing anyone of sin who would identify Beckwith as an apostate. I provide here the comment

From Claire de Lune to Jonathan Merritt to Rome’s Dogmas About Mary
Went an hour and 45 minutes today because we “covered the waterfront.” Talked about how Twitter is saying the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel is a dangerous website (could be a technical glitch, could be purposeful), and then discussed how we can have confidence that God’s truth abides with us today.

A Thought from St. Peter’s
I forgot to add this to my brief recounting of visiting St. Peter’s in Rome. As I was looking at all of the crypts and memorials, statues and monuments, to dead popes and their alleged accomplishments, I could not help but think of Shebna in Isaiah 22:15-18: Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, “Come, go to this steward, to

A Two Part DL Today: Islam, and Roman Catholicism
Two very different halves of the program today. First half I went through comments made by Osama Abdullah in a recent exchange with Nabeel Qureshi. I demonstrate that Osama continues to demonstrate his incapacity to present an even semi-credible and coherent argument against Christianity and for Islam. Then after the break “Brother Peter” called in. Evidently he’s written a book
