The Christian Shema vs. Dr. Smith
Feb 1901:00:53Tap to summarizeToday we dove into the debate I did with Dr. Dustin Smith in Dallas on the Trinity vs. Unitarianism, and in particular, our reasons for doing debates, etc. Then we looked at 1 Corinthians 8:6, which came up in the debate, and used it as an example of my main thesis: that the Unitarian has an over-riding presupposition that forces him into eisegesis when faced with evidence against his position. We will look at the Hansen/Heshmeyer cross-ex on the next episode!
Transcribe →Debate Review Dividing Line
Feb 1701:10:24Tap to summarizeStarted doing some debate reviews on the program today. Mentioned a little bit about my debate with Dr. Smith, but will review more of that in a future program. Then we looked at some cross-examination from the Nortier/Flowers debate and spent some time discussing what it means to do "work" on a passage, the different level of "work," etc. Then I mentioned the surreal experience of listening to the Heschmeyer/Hansen debate and having to agree with both of them at key points. We will listen to some of the cross-examination on the next program.
Transcribe →Road Trip DL from Willcox, Arizona
Feb 1201:02:04Tap to summarizeWe covered the waterfront on our last program for this trip. I talked a bit about the lie of "transgenderism," covered the wild spin being put out by the "Biblical Unitarians" prior to the release of the video of the debate from a week ago, and talked about the difference between donation-based ministry and "clicks and likes." We also covered a bit about Marian "intercession" and discussed possible issues with our Mobile Command Center—more on that once we get home!
Transcribe →Road Trip DL from Flower Mound: Lots of Topics, Mainly Atonement and Free Will
Feb 401:07:05Tap to summarizeCovered a lot of topics today from here in Texas, but mainly looked at some material regarding people's responses to comments about Romans 5, the atonement (responding to William Lane Craig's denial of original sin), and the ever-present idol of man's "free will."

Back from Arkansas, Heading to Louisiana, Two Debates in April, Debate Comments
Mar 6, 202501:07:17Tap to summarizeExcited to be home, but excited to head out in just a matter of weeks for the "Louisiana Loop" that will take me to southern Louisiana for a debate on April 4th, and then to northern Louisiana for a debate on the 10th. Talked a bit about last weekend's debates as well.
Transcribe →The Ignatian Strawman Extinguished
Mar 3, 202501:28:13Tap to summarizeThough I really wasn't feeling well after I arrived here in Amarillo, I felt it was absolutely necessary to address the amazingly dishonest attacks that have been launched against me about a single cross-examination question from Saturday night's debate. So we did a full dive into Ignatius, his writings, the issues with the transmission of those writings, forgeries, you name it, and then walked through the actual text cited in the debate demonstrating that the actual answer I gave was fully substantiated by the text itself. It is my hope that those who are planning to continue this campaign of misrepresentation will listen to this presentation, realize the foolishness of such an action, repent of their intentions, and cease and desist with their activities. That is up to them. For everyone else, you get to learn a whole lot about issues related to ancient church history! Enjoy!
Transcribe →Road Trip DL from Jonesboro
Feb 27, 202500:59:57Tap to summarizeMainly covered the upcoming debates, how to properly encourage someone interested in pursuing apologetics, foundational issues, etc., and then talked a bit about Gavin Ortlund and his videos, and the recent discussion about the canon of Scripture, the Deuterocanonical books, etc. Not sure about when we will be able to do programs next week, to be honest, as I drive back home, but we will see how it goes!
Transcribe →Road Trip DL: Conway; Francis, the Future, then Zeitoun as Evidence
Feb 22, 202501:01:19Tap to summarizeSnuck a quick program in today before teaching at the seminary this evening, talking about developments with what seems like the soon passing of Pope Francis, etc. Then we briefly discussed recent conversations concerning Cameron Bertuzzi, a convert to Romanism, and his claim that the supposed appearances of Mary at Zeitoun, Egypt, decades ago provide better evidence for the Christian faith than the resurrection appearances of Jesus. Hopefully get to do another program from Jonesboro on Thursday before the two debates this weekend.
Transcribe →A Sorta-Road Trip Dividing Line from Conway, Arkansas
Feb 21, 202500:59:16Tap to summarizeDrove for eight hours today and arrived safely in Conway, so I got set up and managed to sneak in a quick Dividing Line, discussing upcoming talks, lectures, and debates on this trip, and answering some questions asked on Twitter. Glanced over once and we had over 1,440 people viewing! And now...to sleep!
Transcribe →Still in Phoenix! Why? Expained. Then: More Developments in Rome
Feb 18, 202501:07:19Tap to summarizeExplained why I am still here in Phoenix when I was supposed to leave today (I leave tomorrow). But mainly we focused on Pope Francis as well as a video clip attacking sola scriptura. If Francis passes, will you be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities to bear witness to the gospel of grace? This episode might help!
