TruthXchange would you consider tackling the dire wolf cloning? It seems that once an animal is extinct that to resurrect such a being would be contrary to God’s providence.

Dear truthXchange Podcast, Dr. Ventrella and Joshua Gielow. Thank you for your show and weekly articles. The recent article on Calvin University footnote 11 (Yes, I read the footnotes, though I think some of your footnotes are worthy to be issues tackled at greater lengths) Do you think that Dr. Smith’s salvation is compromised because he has widened his doors to the LGBTQ?

Notice the sleight of hand here:  “salvation issue” is equated with “disagreement is disallowed.”  Smith is confusing categories.  Smith, I suspect, doesn’t really contend that Synod is saying one is damned with certitude for being Baptistic or even affirming same-sex “marriage;” rather, he’s irritated that he can’t kick against this Scriptural sexual norm. The point is that affirming same-sex “marriage” departs from a credible Christian profession of faith and thereby puts one into spiritual jeopardy.  It is a position rooted in deception that, as Paul says, will not inherit the kingdom of God.  1 Cor. 6:9.  So, in that sense at the very least, it certainly comprises a “salvation issue.”

I noticed a few references lately to the Didache. What are your thoughts about the reading of non-canonical books?
