Got started a little late so we didn’t go a full hour but covered some “Tweet theology,” including responding to Leighton Flowers and looking at some Thomas stuff. Also reported on the last few nights in Opelousas (which I mispronounced at the start!), what’s coming up the rest of the week, and provided a tribute to Jeremy Hasty, a dear brother who has been so supportive of our work for years. Enjoy!

Another Example of “Head in the Sand” Apologetics
James White, , Roman Catholicism
I have submitted several emails on the doctrine of Mary in the early Church to you, and yet you do not respond. You claimed on your radio show that nowhere in the early Church around the the time of the First Council of Nicea, was there any evidennce to substantiate the Catholic teachings on Mary. I gave you two or

John 5, 17, and Starting with Scripture as Our Only Reliable Foundation
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism
Snuck another program in up here in Moscow, looking in-depth at John 5 and John 17 in reference to the Scriptural testimony to the relationship of Father and Son. Commented along the way on “Classical Theism’s” obfuscation of Biblical truths and serious concerns about the development of this new “Baptist Scholasticism,” which, by its adherents, is a “recovery of classical

Jumbo Tuesday Dividing Line
James White, , The Dividing Line
Let’s see…we talked about Desmond Tutu rejecting a “homophobic God,” the Pope’s comments on homosexuality, the PCUSA’s rejection of the wrath of God, the ongoing attack upon the freedoms of Christian soldiers in the military, Reza Aslan’s book, “Zealot,” and then finally we got to Bashir Vania’s opening statement in a debate with Jay Smith. Something for everyone—sort of!

Porvaznik Perfidy and Matatics Mendacity Documented Final
James White, , Roman Catholicism
Here is the final clip I’ve recorded from the 1997 sola scriptura debate with Gerry Matatics on Long Island. This comes directly after the cross-ex I posted Monday, so they go together. I picked up the same theme and pressed forward with it here. Hopefully these clips have illustrated, in a way that only video can, the less than useful

Catholic Answers and Veronica’s Station of the Cross
James Swan, , Roman Catholicism
“Originating in the Middle Ages and promoted by the Franciscans, the Stations of the Cross is a devotion to the passion of Christ from the moment of his condemnation by Pilate to his burial. Churches place fourteen images, representing scenes from the passion, spaced out on walls in such a way that a person walks from one to the other

Reformed Thomists?
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Should evangelicals really agree with about 88% of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa? Well, that is what was claimed in a recent article in the Master’s Seminary Journal, so today we tackled that subject, hopefully in a respectful and brotherly fashion. I had intended to get to the Hess/Pallmann pseudo-review, but will have to hold that off till the next program. I

1 John 1:5-2:2, Brief Discussion on Presuppositional Apologetics
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Went a lot longer than I expected to on 1 John 1:5-2:2, but hope it is helpful for those who enjoy close discussion of the flow of a key text. Then I realized I had burned most of the hour and hence could not get into playing sections from the Mortification of Spin episode with Dr. Fesko, but I took
