John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God. “ John 1:1 If one only has a beginning knowledge of Greek, it can be very dangerous. The grammar and Greek syntax of John 1:1 … Continue reading
@RTSCharlotte 2021 Year in Review
Well, it’s New Year’s Eve. And I would imagine that most of us are more than ready to get 2021 in the rear-view mirror. We all thought it would be different than 2020, but, alas, it was not to be. Not only is COVID back with a vengeance, but the year…
Lessons from a Queen

Person, Subsistence, and Debating Roger Perkins
I really hate to waste Christmas Eve on this kind of stuff, I really do. It is honestly depressing that folks who *should* be willing to read and listen fairly are unwilling to do so. I do not know what is behind all of this, but maybe someday I will figure it out. I have used pretty much all of […]

Anthony Rogers decimates Sam Shamoun & William Albrecht, Again!
Anthony Rogers preaches the gospel here from Romans and Galatians. Shows how the churches in Galatia had forsaken the gospel, they even turned away from Christ Himself. Anthony provides an interesting insight in that the letter to the Galatians says, … Continue reading
On Divine Simplicity and Natural Theology
Just a note to announce I intend to interact with the presentation in Dr. James Dolezal’s books, God without Parts: Divine Simplicity and the Metaphysics of God’s Absoluteness (2011) and All That Is in God: Evangelical Theology and the Challenge of Classical Christian Theism (2017), especially by using the audio from his presentations on these topics to the Southern California […]

Where Are All the Heretical Bishops in the Second Century?
I’ve noticed that Michael Bird has recently posted an article on heresy and orthodoxy in early Christianity. From what I can tell (I can’t see the entire article because it’s behind the paywall), he is pushing back against the popular…

The Former “Calvinist” Who Can’t Represent Calvinism
I just saw that Dr. Stratton just posted a further video in the “we won’t listen to the other side but will accuse the other side of not listening” saga that, personally, I’m finished with. But I wanted to note the description which, I assume, comes from Dr. Stratton directly: First, there was nothing in the structure of my discussion […]

On the Goodness of Reality
Just a quick thought. I have always liked tech. OK, I was NOT in the tiny little group of nerds who did the Tandy computer thing in high school with the cassette tape recorder as the “drive,” but I wasn’t too far behind. I wear Garmin watches that connect to my iPhone and I am typing this on an incredibly […]
Book Review: Conscience and Its Enemies: Confronting the Dogmas of Liberal Secularism
Introduction Robert P. George is regarded as one of the greatest intellects of the twenty-first century. From popular-level organizations such as the New York Times to representatives of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world, the overwhelming consensus is that Robert P. George is sui generis.[1] During his time as a student, George amassed […]
Tremendous Theological Confusion
I recently saw a comment on Facebook by someone named John Cranman. I will be honest: the name did not ring any bells with me until I did a search and discovered that the gentleman I discussed Romans 9 with on Unbelievable in London was named John Cranman. Assuming we are dealing with the same individual, this sort of makes […]
On My Betters
Someone asked me a question yesterday that basically said, “Don’t you think Bahnsen would have done better than you against Craig?” I actually smile at such questions, though there is a tinge of sadness, too. We all miss Greg, and most of us wonder what he could have accomplished had God given him a much longer life. And I am […]
Struggling with Doubt? Here are 5 Important Truths to Remember
