Papal Evolution, Christless Nationalism, Jacob Hansen with ABS
May 101:14:46Tap to summarizeA super wide ranging 75 minute program today covering everything from working out in your mid sixties to the collapse of the Black family, the repeal of the 19th Amendment, the evolution of the Papacy, and Jacob Hansen the neo-Mormon on Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey. A little something for everyone on today's program!
Transcribe →Fake Memes, Monetization, Thomas and Dionysius
Apr 2801:12:48Tap to summarizeCovered a really wide variety of stuff today from Stephen Boyce's convert syndrome to the impact of monetization on the social media discussions to a lengthy introduction to the Pseudo-Dionysian Corpus (DC). Also briefly discussed some issues raised in the appearance of Jacob Hansen on Relatable with ABS, but we will be covering that on the next program.
Transcribe →Open Zoom Calls, Great Questions!
Apr 2201:11:22Tap to summarizeEvery time we open the phones we get such excellent questions! A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Zoom and called in today—all of your questions were truly great. Today we tackled tough questions like the canon of Scripture and its relationship to epistemology as well as how believers need to view politics, voting, etc. We got calls from Ireland and Hungary as well! Went in depth in our responses as well. Remember, Rich is out of town for a bit, so we will be back, Deo volente, next week.
Transcribe →Church History Proves the Necessity of Sola Scriptura
Apr 2101:12:59Tap to summarizeAfter some comments on a variety of topics at the top of the program, we dove deep into the following citation from Basil the Great, "because the honor paid to the image passes on to the prototype." We looked at the original context and meaning, and then how it was plucked out of that context and used by John of Damascus, and how that then became central to the arguments of the iconophiles at Nicea II, and hence became the basis of "infallible dogma" for both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Not an entertaining program, to be sure, but hopefully a helpful one. Tomorrow we will be doing a Zoom call "open phones" program, so join us then!
Transcribe →Popes and Trump and Webbon Oh My!
Apr 1601:14:28Tap to summarizeCovered the waterfront today to be sure! Talked about Trump's healing meme, the Pope and the Muslims, and Joel Webbon playing footsie with Catholics on the Reformation, all because...the Jews!
Transcribe →Aaron Shafovaloff on the New Mormonism
Apr 1401:18:28Tap to summarizeWas joined by Aaron Shafovaloff of Mormonism Research Ministry (mrm.org) to discuss developments in Mormonism and to review a clip of a recent LDS discussion wherein the historic view of God is questioned by Blake Ostler, an ostensibly LDS philosopher and attorney, and others in the "New Mormonism" movement. If you have LDS friends and neighbors, you will want to listen to this one!
Transcribe →Geisler's Parable Unpacked and Refuted
Apr 901:05:06Tap to summarizeIn light of the resurrection of a particularly bad parable by Jacob Hansen we went over the lengthy rebuttal of the story of the "boys in the pond" parable (Hansen made it girls in a lake), showing that it fails on every level to correspond to biblical truth. We also touched on a good bit of LDS theology as well today.
Transcribe →Final Road Trip DL from Utah Trip
Apr 601:14:17Tap to summarizeSpent the program responding to the craziness that has developed after the debate in Ogden, working through all the details. Good opportunity to discuss debates, integrity, proper use of sources, form of argumentation, etc. Also gave us a chance to discuss the rise of "Neo-Mormonism" in contrast with historic LDS orthodoxy.
Transcribe →Pre-Debate Road Trip Dividing Line
Apr 201:01:52Tap to summarizeDr. White broadcasts from the road ahead of his debate in Ogden, Utah. He starts with a warning regarding extreme rhetoric surrounding the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Septuagint (LXX), before continuing the review of the Austin vs. Hansen cross-examination for debate prep.
Transcribe →Road Trip Dividing Line from Salt Lake #2
Mar 3101:01:22Tap to summarizeCovered a few pressing topics today, from the cultural chaos of utterly unqualified Supreme Court justices to Phil Vischer's question about defining doctrines. Then we talked a bit about "Eucharistic miracles" and an odd little exchange on X about debating the topic, and finally we got just a minute into the cross-ex between Avery Austin and Jacob Hansen in their recent debate. Since I will be debating Jacob in a few days, this is good preparatory thinking.
