Alpha and Omega Ministries

Covered a few topics (a little Open Theism) at the start and then listened to a portion of a "sermon" by a PCUSA priestess about how John 14:6 doesn't really say what...it actually says. Then we got back to Dositheus and discovered that the Provisionists have been stealing from the Orthobros all along!

Road Trip DL today from northern Arizona. We started with a response to Hayden Carroll on the subject of omniscience, and then moved to a discussion of a recent video I listened to attacking penal substitutionary atonement. We then read through a major portion of Isaiah 53 in reference to this topic. Might sneak another program in to get back to Dositheus, but that is dependent on travel.

Looked at a recent statement from Leighton Flowers that sure looks a lot like Open Theism, then moved on to some more evidence of how far removed Mormonism is from Biblical Christianity. Finished up listening to a section of Jay Dyer on Tucker Carlson talking about the "ancient church" and the Reformation.

Dr. White covers three main topics before heading up to Colorado! Today features a response to Patrick Madrid on Galatians 5:4, a look at the Mormon doctrine of God, and the conclusion of the Confession of Cyril Lucaris.

Mainly spent our time looking at an excellent example of what Mormonism's doctrine of "god" brings them to when discussing election and sovereignty, and then we almost finished up the Confession of Cyril Lucaris, talking about faith, justification, and the sacraments.

Remembered to cover some comments made by young neoMorm Chandler Hendry on the topic of John 1:1. Then we got back to the Confession of Cyril Lucaris, part of our broader study of the Confession of Dositheos from 1672 in Eastern Orthodoxy.

The archive of today's broadcast is now available! Dr. White went a bit long today, covering a handful of miscellaneous topics before getting back into our series on Orthodoxy. Today's Docket: View of Scripture: Responding to a progressivist UMC pastor presenting the "Bible isn't God's Word, it just points to God's Word" perspective. Eastern Orthodoxy Deep Dive: Looking at the historic confession of Cyril Lucaris as the critical background to the Confession of Dositheus that we began last week. Be sure to check the blog post for the reference links to Jason Wallace's original video and our past DL episode on Cyril Lucaris!

Started off with some comments about the childishness of many on line today, but spent most of our time on Eastern Orthodoxy and specifically thinking about a conversation Gavin Ortlund had with Jonathan Pageau, focusing on the Synod of Jerusalem. Then we began reading the Confession of Dositheus and we will continue that on the next program. Remember, I have been telling you the EO stuff was coming! But as we saw today, much of this conversation has tremendous meaning in other areas of theology and apologetics.

Went into the big studio today, started off with a little discussion of the Tucker Carlson stuff, and then shifted over to some comments by Eastern Orthodox speaker Alex Sorin that allowed us to discuss some other foundational issues about church history.

Picked up on a few developments since the last program out of Ogden including the "Nazi hunting" piece by Sauve, and then moved to a video of Archbishop Edward Weisenburger speaking at a mosque opening in Dearborn (Detroit area), identifying the place as one of true worship, where God is active, and even made reference to the Islamic prayers (which, of course, specifically identify Christianity as a religion that has been led astray). We discussed how this tells us a lot about how Romanism has changed, and is changing, over the centuries.
