3/6/2014 A Little About Brewton-Parker; the Athanasian Creed; the Flaming Toilet of Death
A wide ranging, and very challenging, program today. Started off with the comments of one of the former trustees of Brewton-Parker about his vote for Caner. Still amazed at the self-inflicted deception down there. Then moved on to directly (and hopefully graciously) address Shawn McCraney on one particular topic, that being what he said about the Athanasian Creed. I took the time to walk through it, explain it, give its background, and more importantly, the necessity of its language in light of biblical revelation. Then I moved on to review this video, playing it in its entirety, and then responding to it, hopefully providing a needed warning about the power that emotive presentations can have in the minds of our people and the absolute necessity of examining the presuppositions hidden in such materials. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03-oLPNM7UE
Started a series of responses to the influx of “woke ideology,” today looking at the need for defining language clearly by listening to some comments from Dr. Tim Keller. Then we moved onto the controversy that erupted last week over comments from Jeff Durbin regarding woke theology at the conference in Franklin.

Started off talking with Mike O’Fallon from Geneva, Switzerland about our upcoming cruise to Alaska in September (don’t miss out!), and then played a clip from a recent Kent Hovind video where, irony of ironies, he is accused of doing everything Gail Riplinger accused me of doing—which he himself repeated and promoted! Well, what goes around comes around, as they say. Then we got to the phones and covered a wide variety of topics, from impeccability to John 12:39 and the deity of Christ to annihilationism, Titus 2:11, relationships with Muslims, and Luke 7:30 and free will. A little something for everyone!

Unfortunately we have developed connection problems yet once again with our ISP, so we had to cut things a bit short when everything just ground to a halt. First hour was a rather full discussion of the Nashville Statement and some of those who have attempted to respond to it. Then we switched over to the always enjoyable topic of Critical Race Theory, “White Supremacy,” and the like, looking at articles by Jemar Tisby and others that are simply way over the line when it comes to anything close to a New Testament position on the nature of Christian fellowship, the church, etc. Unfortunately, that’s when the connection decided to give up the ghost, which slammed the recording program, etc. We had to stop, restart, and so I decided to shut it down earlier than I had intended. Technology! Well, I’m sure it will come up again next week. In any case, a bit “heavy” on the topics, but necessary, and hopefully useful to all. Visit the store at https://doctrineandlife.co/

This debate took place on Friday April 4, 2003 at the University of Utah. Dennis Potter is a Mormon apologist who is Professor of Philosophy at Utah Valley State College and contributes to a number of noted LDS publications.(2 Hours 2 Minutes)
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 a few moments to discuss some of the issues.

Answered an audience question from an old friend about how to handle differences in the pastoral staff on the issue of textual critical theory, and then got back into the Flowers/Wilson debate. Had to explain a few more things about Manichaeism that are, well, somewhat adult in their orientation, so keep that in mind. Will be on Chris Arnzen’s Iron Sharpens Iron broadcast for two hours tomorrow, so, no program, but we will be back Thursday and Friday!

Tried to do a live DL from up here in Flagstaff, Arizona. Worked for a bit, then would stop working. We’ve taken out some of the dead air and stuff from the audio copy. Appreciate the patience! Just talked a bit about the Platt/Trump situation this past weekend, then looked at some claims coming from TR advocates that once again leave them open to refutation from well-read opponents in debate (Muslims, Mormons, etc.).
