We looked in-depth today at the continuing discussion "do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?" This time we likewise looked at what modern Romanism teaches concerning salvation of those in non-Christian religions, and how all of this utterly undercuts Rome's authority claims. The last few minutes we responded to David Allen's continued refusal to defend his published works in public debate.

Basically three topics today, first, a few comments on the announcement just this morning that David Allen is putting out a book this Friday with the title, Liberating Romans from Reformed Captivity. Yes, that's the actual title. Then we looked at Wesley Todd thinking it would be better to have a Catholic fascist system of government because then you could convert them, which sort of means you don't know much about history. And finally we listened briefly to the logical outcome of the Orthodox "we are worshipping through the icon" argument, that being, there is no such thing as idolatry. The next program, on Thursday, should be coming from the mobile command center, though I do not actually pull out till Saturday.

Took some time to consider what the Bible says about Israel and the Church in light of recent events, then looked at another "let's sneak some Nazi stuff into another White Boy Summer video" stuff, and finished off reviewing the claims of Alex Jurado about the background of our debate last year, sadly having to correct a lot of error and misinformation.

A little bit of everything for folks today, from reviewing a thread promoting priestly confession to reading through a description of purgatory to listening to Dr. Riddle promoting TR Onlyism.

Looked at two video clips today, one from Joe Heschmeyer on the question "do Christians and Muslims worship a different God?" (we come to different conclusions) and the other from an EO priest relating a discussion he had with Joel Webbon about cessationism.

Decided I needed a break from the battle so as to remember the foundational stuff---we can get back to the rest next week, Lord willing. Looked at a few Psalms and just considered what is eternal and important--and will be important next week, next month, and 100 years from now--rather than what grabs our attention and often steals our joy today. Then we went back to listening to Calvin talking about the knowledge of God and how we can obtain it, and how sinful rebellion suppresses that knowledge.

Played a clip where Dr. Turek uses a form of Molinism to respond to a question on predestination. Before or after that (funny how it is hard to remember right after doing the show!) we looked at a graphic where a Roman Catholic says the Orthodox are "Petrified" as in fossilized in time, and what that might mean. Then we spent the rest of the time looking at my exchange with Andrew Isker on the imprisonment and eventual death of Fritz Erbe and others in the sacral period after the Reformation. A useful exposure of where Isker, and those allied with him, are really going.

Lots of different topics covered today, starting with the uproar between Trump and Musk but moving on to wider topics. Then we looked at some comments from Leighton Flowers about "God-fearers," and finished up with a brief discussion about NT Wright's defense of abortion in "extreme circumstances."

Did a little more than the first half of the program on Acts 20 and Paul's words to the Ephesian elders asking if it is really so shocking that elders today need to be concerned about what is coming into the fellowship through social media sources. Then, we started reading some of Calvin's finest work in the opening of the Institutes and his vital discussion of the knowledge of God and the knowledge of man.
