Big goings on with John MacArthur’s sermon on Sunday this weekend, so I took the time to respond to portions of Jonathan Leeman’s article critiquing the position of the Grace eldership. Leeman’s article is here, the Grace Church statement is here. Then we looked some more from the ecumenical dialogue between Matt Fradd and Cameron Bertuzzi, found here, focusing on the foundational issue of the imputed righteousness of Christ.

Had to start of with a few minutes on the posthumously published book from Joseph Ratzinger. Fascinating and important stuff from the former Pope. Then we listened to some stuff from FBC Orlando, then on to Andy Stanley and homosexuals “serving” and “worshipping” in the Church. This is when we’ve been called to serve, so, we have to deal with

The first 35 minutes or so of today’s program focused on the Miss Universe results in the Netherlands, where a highly unattractive dude beat out some absolutely stunning women, all in the service to the dismantling of the West. Then we looked at pure, unhidden, unapologetic propaganda from an ABC affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky. Then we switched over to an

Had to get the silly stuff out of the way first, so we looked at Andrew Sluder’s “KJB Numerology” where he uses verse numbers and their position in the Bible to prove its inspiration. Then we got serious and read through a Soteriology 101 article and dealt with its man-centeredness. Finished off with an RNS opinion piece that alleged that

Started off looking at Francis’ comment that he hopes hell is empty, and what this would mean to Roman Catholic theology as a whole. Then we transitioned over a Brandan Robertson video in which he shreds the Bible into contradictory strands, something that is all too common in what is called the “Christian academy.”

God-Centered Gospel vs. Man-Centered Gospel

Started off with a bit of a discussion about apologetic and cultural presuppositions, and then went to the phones. First caller out of the box was James, a Roman Catholic, who clearly had a particular formulaic approach he has used to attempt to show Protestants the errors of their ways. We went back and forth for 25 minutes, and the

Finishing Up the Painfully Obviously Series Part 6
James White, , The Dividing Line
We finished the veneration of the saints debate on Thursday’s DL, noting once again that while the outcome of the debate was, in fact, painfully obvious, what was painfully obvious was the exact opposite of what was claimed by Patrick Madrid on Catholic Answers Live. And again, I repeat my offer: to the Roman Catholic who called CA Live, and
