Alpha and Omega Ministries

Managed to do an RFG while on the road as I do long days to get home to Phoenix. Took the time to explain and refute Nick Craig's -in depth- interpretation of Ephesians that tells us that verses 3 through 12 are only about the Apostles, not about regular believers. Then we looked at little bit at Acts 13-48, and a bit at a deranged Twitter account opposed to Calvinism. Nearly 80 minutes today.

I've changed my travel plans home so I will be spending long hours in the saddle to get home a day earlier, so I wanted to finish up this response in case we are not able to sneak any programs on till late next week. Only about forty minutes today, but we finished up our review of Jared's response article, focusing on atonement and election issues. Thanks for listening-

Just a few brief comments on Catholicism at the start, then back to Hebrews and Jared's article. We are, at least, getting into the nitty gritty of what the real issues are, so, I hope that is helpful. Tomorrow is a travel day for me, so I won't be able to do another program until I am headed home next week, and those will be later in the day since I have 6- hours to drive each day.

Started off with a look at the tweet introducing an article against postmillennialism before moving back to the response to Jared Longshore based upon Hebrews and the New Covenant.

Commented on the Pope's continued promotion of the climate fraud, and his connecting it to -the culture of death,- but spent most of the time responding to Jared Longshore on the Hebrews 8 issue. Did not finish, but hope to later in the week. Asked for comments on Twitter from listeners as to whether you want more of this kind of in-depth interaction.

Schedules for all sorts of stuff today so I could only squeeze a 45 minute program on a variety of topics today from supposed foul mouths in Moscow to Calvinist derangement syndrome on Twitter.

Had to use the mobile studio today even though I am not yet on the road and...didn't really work out. Had to record it. Mainly a lengthy response to Joshua T. Charles on key and important issues relating to Roman Catholicism, claims of authority, canonicity, etc.

Though I touched briefly on a Soteriology 101 tweet at the end of the show, the vast majority was directed to responding to Joshua T. Charles and his presentation of Newman's -development hypothesis- as the answer to my Nicea question. A lot is going on in Rome these days, and we need to keep up if we wish to be good witnesses-

Spent a little over an hour with John Cooper today talking about his new book, Wimpy, Weak and Woke -available at johnlcooper.com though the Kindle is already available at Amazon-. Talked eschatology and law and culture and the future and hope and what we need to be praying for as far as mercy from God- As always a pleasure to have John on the Dividing Line-

Went for an hour and forty minutes or so and covered a lot of topics, I must confess- Mainly focused on finishing up our response to Jason Breda on John 6 and his confusion about Greek verbs, participles, tenses, you name it. Did that, and then played a clip from Frank Turek claiming Calvinism is contradictory, and then a clip where he is commenting on inerrancy as well.

Caught up on a few items on a special DL today. Read through a long message from Twitter that is a good warning about how some eschatologies can become downright dangerous, and then moved back to reviewing aspects of Muhammed Hijab's opening remarks in the Trinity-Tawhid debate.

Said more than I wanted to say about Ohio and the Papacy -will actually say more tomorrow on a special third edition of the DL for the week- at the opening, then jumped into Radio Free Geneva -about 20 minutes in- and continued our review-response of Jason Breda.

Jumbo edition of the program, basically two 45 minute segments. The first featured Jeff Durbin from his rental car in parts unknown talking with us about his work with End Abortion Now, the Ohio situation, the ERLC, and he and his wife adopting two premie baby girls. In the second I started playing Muhammad Hijab's opening comments from a 2018 debate on Trinity and Tawhid in hopes of helping folks be prepared to respond to Muslims in evangelistic settings. We will continue on future editions of the program. We hope to do two more programs this week, including another Radio Free Geneva. Make sure to download the A-O app so you will know when we will be on the air-

An hour and 45 minutes on Radio Free Geneva today, starting to look at Jason Breda's video -exegeting- John 6. Brother Breda claims to have been -a Calvinist for ten years,- and is now producing videos exposing this -lie of the enemy.- Well, he attempted to walk through John 6 -give him credit--, and we are reviewing that attempt. Had to deal with a lot of Greek today because brother Breda makes claims based upon the original language that, well, are more than just slightly fallacious. We will either do another RFG to finish up, or make it a sub-portion of a future Dividing Line.

Started off with the truth about 10-31-1517 -nobody at the time had any idea anything important had happened-, which earned me the name -Dr. Downer- from Jeff Durbin last night at church. Then we talked about the recent Synod in Rome and the truly massive implications this has for Roman claims of authority, etc. Then we addressed this article https---jaredrlongshore.com-2023-10-31-are-your-children-members-of-the-new-covenant- from Jared Longshore, posted on Reformation Day, of all days, diving into Hebrews 7 and 8 especially, dealing with this key text in the debate over Calvin's doctrine of paedobaptism. I thought we would only go 90 minutes, but we actually went past two hours by a bit-

Took two complete programs to do it, but we finished looking at Zach Lambert's sermon on -Homophobia and Transphobia,- getting to the part where the Bible finally was referred to- and twisted into a pretzel. It is truly hard to listen to -progressivists- engage in societal eisegesis, but we sure got our fill in today's 1-50 minute long program.

As promised I began playing the entirety of Zach Lambert's sermon, preached early last year, about -Homophobia and Transphobia.- He had linked to it as representative of his position, and in the opening of the sermon he says he spent more time preparing for that sermon than any other, so it seems fair to address it. It is a classic example of -cultural eisegesis,- and since it is the essence of modern -Christian- homosexual apologetics, everyone needs to learn to recognize it, and refute it. We will continue the study and response on Thursday, Lord willing- 1-55 today-

On the last program I said I hoped Doug Wilson would respond to Michael Riley's article on a Van Tillian response to Christian Nationalism, and lo and behold, he did just that. So, we took the time to look it over and comment on it. Then we looked at a Taylor Marshall tweet denying the imputed righteousness of Christ and dove into Romans 3-4 to respond.

Today we were joined by Asa Miller, former SEAL and one of the primary people in the new documentary https---youtu.be-p9euwl05sqo SEALS Beat Biden which comes out next month. We talked about a lot of things, and it was an enjoyable conversation. Then I went over Michael Riley's post https---g3min.org-not-by-what-standard-but-by-what-means- which appeared on the G3 website and I found most useful.
