Well, 2024 started out a bit rough technically speaking, but we got past that and got to a discussion of Aquinas at MBTS, Dale Tuggy and philosophical trinitarianism, and finally responses to Leighton Flowers on the will of God and the proclamation of the gospel. Ninety minutes.

Popes Testify that Catholicism and Islam Worship the Same God
TurretinFan, , Roman Catholicism
Occasionally, I point out that one of the biggest reasons to reject the doctrines of Rome, is that Vatican II dogmatically taught that God and Allah are the same: that Muslims worship the one true God. As well, Vatican II teaches the Jews worship the one true God. This doctrine is false. Those who reject the Son of God reject

Today on a Jumbo Sized Dividing Line
James White, , The Dividing Line
Today’s DL was 90 minutes in length to give me time to launch into two new studies. First, I began responding to a lengthy e-mail relating to the grounds upon which God can justly judge men in light of His sovereignty. Then, after 45 minutes on that I moved into a review of the Fernandes/Comis debate on the Five Points

Two Reformation Sunday Sermons
James White, , Reformed Apologetics
Oh, forgot it was Reformation Sunday? Well, I didn’t! In the midst of the craziness, and evil, of our day, it is good to remember that 495 years ago, God brought light to a darkened world. He may well have to do so again in the not too distant future! Here are two sermons from today at PRBC on the

The Quotable Sippo
James White, , Roman Catholicism
I hope James Swan doesn’t mind, but I wanted to snag his excellent title, “The Quotable Sippo,” for another example of the kind of rhetoric Art Sippo cranks out with gut-wrenching regularity. Ironically, Sippo was defending his very broad use of the term “lie.” Anyone who disagrees with Sippo is a liar, plain and simple. Protestants, in particular, are liars,

(Some) Patristic Views of Atonement
TurretinFan, , Reformed Apologetics
The following is a list of several patristic quotations (previously posted at the link) that relate to the topic of the atonement. Some affirm limited atonement, some are simply germane to the topic of the atonement without necessarily affirming limited atonement. The last two show that interpreting 1 John 2:1-2 the way that Calvin did was not new to Calvin.

For the Very Busy Jimmy Akin
James White, , Roman Catholicism
I am such a horrible person. Or so Jimmy Akin says, and hence, it must be true. I mean, my horrible attitude must be the reason for his constant mocking tone and derogatory statements. Has to be. What other reason could there be? Well, I guess he might be so very snippy because he’s so busy. His current blog makes

The Popes, Rachel Held Evans, Desiring God, Nabeel Qureshi on Unbelievable Mega Show
James White, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Put together a full mega sized DL today, starting off with the obvious differences between the two currently living Popes and then doing nearly 70 minutes on a Rachel Held Evans article and a few articles that have appeared recently on the Desiring God website (John Piper’s ministry), but then throwing in another half an hour on a recent Unbelievable
