Alpha and Omega Ministries

Started off looking at developments on the Dinesh D'Souza front, looking at his citation of Jeremiah 19:5. Looked at the posting of a clip from Alex Jones in which I honestly stated that it seemed to me he was on drugs, his language and vile speech shocking even those on the program with him. And this is the lead speaker at the Christ is King conference in November. Then we moved back to Eastern Orthodoxy and looked at Empress Irene and her foundational role in calling, running, and determining the outcome of, the Second Nicene Council in 787.

Put up a nicely done graphic against Calvinism and started there, walking through its common objections and providing the same responses we have provided for decades now. Then we looked at Leighton Flowers attempting to turn John 6 into a Provisionist Pretzel (applauded by Jenna Ellis) while ignoring the reality of what happened to him in the debate a few years ago. Enjoy!

Went long today but covered a lot of territory. Looked at the horrific video from Tibet/China and the sudden floods and talked about theodicy, then moved to Dale Partridge pretending to be an Anglican and the Ogden crew hiding from the reality of having Alex Jones and Harrison Smith speaking at a "Christ is King" conference. Finished by looking at Webbon's incredible threat against Phil Johnson wherein he conflated the Great Commission with Christless Nationalism.

Had to address what everyone is talking about right now, so we went over my attempt to help D'Souza understand that which he clearly has never considered before, and then talked about Jenna Ellis' behavior on line. Then we looked at what is going on at Prays Mill and G3, and finished with some words for Dinesh from Scripture.

Started off commenting on the G3/Prays Mill/Tom Buck saga, giving my own insights as best I can. Then looked at the astonishing invitation to Alex Jones to speak at a "Christ is King" Conference along with Webbon, Robinson, Partridge, and the Ogden crew, a new low for Christ-less Nationalism. Then finished up with a short presentation on "St. Tarasios" in response to comments on X.

Well, it's two months to go till we have our debate in Gilbert, Arizona with Craig Truglia, and so...it's on my mind. So that's what we talked about today, getting into events at Nicea II, Patriarch Tarasios, etc. Don't tune it out! Vitally important material relevant to a lot of other things as well.

More topics today on the DL including showing off an early Christian hymn fragment from Wes Huff's papyri website (manuscriptshop.com), and then talking about the amazing rise of the Communists in the United States of America. Then we went back to the Confession of Dositheus and noted the parallels to the Provisionists claims, so we brought up a Leighton Flowers X post to document that as well.

Spent a few minutes talking about unbelieving "academic consensus" with Dan McClellan's claims about Jude and 1 Enoch, and then went back into my Pseudo-Dionysius presentation, finishing it up with a discussion of the influence this work had on Thomas Aquinas.

Today's episode features an introduction to the Pseudo-Dionysian Corpus. Dr. White takes some time to talk about the background of the corpus, looking at its general contents and discussing some of the viewpoints presented within the text. If you've been following the recent discussions on this topic and want a helpful overview of the source material, check out the full broadcast!

Covered the waterfront from Colorado Springs today! So, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 defended against Bishop Jaxi (again), new (good) rules for online behavior for the Eastern Orthodox, the Scriptural testimony to the sovereignty of God, a traditional Catholic being hypocritical about "Protestants," Bart Ehrman mentions me, Stephen Wolfe just isn't a serious man, and finally a bit on Pseudo-Dionysius. Whew! We hope to do a program Thursday however I have seven hours to drive that day so... we will have to see!
