As Protestants, we believe only Scripture is divinely inspired and ultimately authoritative for the life and practice of the Christian church. We do not view tradition as authoritative, though it may be helpful. Unfortunately, many evangelicals (to riff on one author) affirm not Sola Scriptura but Solo Scriptura, which is kind of like the difference […]

Two hundred fifty years ago, a group of men representing the thirteen British colonies across the ocean took quills in hand and signed their names to words that would change “the course of human events” and give birth to a new nation. Those men were committing high treason against the laws and king of England, […]

Dr. White begins by addressing developments with Dinesh D’Souza and his citation of Jeremiah 19:5. He then reviews a troubling clip of Alex Jones—the lead speaker at the upcoming “Christ is King” conference—before moving into church history to examine Empress Irene’s foundational role in the Second Nicene Council of 787.

Dr. White begins today’s episode with his insights on the recent G3 and Prays Mill situation regarding Tom Buck. He then examines the startling invitation extended to Alex Jones to speak at a “Christ is King” conference, representing a new low for Christ-less Nationalism, before finishing up with a brief presentation on “St. Tarasios” in response to discussions on X.

Dr. White covers a variety of topics today! We look at an early Christian hymn fragment via Wes Huff’s papyri website, discuss the alarming rise of Communism in the US, and return to the Confession of Dositheus to examine its parallels with modern Provisionist claims (featuring an X post from Leighton Flowers).

It has been said that “history is written by the victors.” It is true in the context of war, and it is also true in theological controversy. In the context of the Second Great Awakening, the clear winner is Charles Finney, the preacher with unusual giftings in oration and credited with bringing the “new measures” […]

In the previous post, I outlined why I believe Dr. Shawn Wright’s faculty address at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary misrepresented John Calvin’s relationship to Thomas Aquinas and medieval theology. In this post, I will examine Dr. Wright’s claims concerning the Reformed tradition and medieval theology. After arguing that Calvin did not hold Thomas Aquinas […]

I agree with Ryan at needGod.net and his 10 reasons not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Ryan does a good job of backing up his reasons with quotes from Scripture and the Eastern Orthodoxy’s own sources. I thought he was … Continue reading
Timothy Kauffman does a good job of showing the problem of interpreting Irenaeus (died around 200-202 AD) statements about baptism as the way Roman Catholicism understands – that the ceremony in water and saying the right words over the person … Continue reading
Did an hour long program today on the road as we prepare for the “Harbor Freight G3” conference this weekend, as well as my debate with Dale Tuggy. Not sure if we going to get another show in tomorrow, we will see!
The post Roa…
This was a hot program! Mainly because the AC units had not yet caught up with the Arizona heat in the RV! Anyway, talked about the sad state of affairs, worldview wise, on social media, then talked about what the Bible says about purity in speech. Then we looked at a statement about the “Reformed Ghetto” from Joel Webbon and […]

Shamoun claims that the “canon argument” is the achilles heel of Protestantism. No it is not. Shamoun needs to read Michael Kruger’s two books on the canon. “Canon Revisited” and “The Question of Canon”. See other articles I have written … Continue reading
Started off looking at a new video from Joel Webbon, who recently called Nick “F-Bomb” Fuentes a “political savant,” where he had Dr. Taylor Marshall, former Protestant, now more-Catholic-than-the-Pope promoter of Papalism, to talk about (ready for this?) dispensationalism and the red heifer! Webbon is now amplifying his “Rome really isn’t our enemy” theme, just as predicted by certain folks […]

This may be my last post in the brief series on the origin of the term Biblicist and how the retrieval of its meaning is ignored (mostly by those who laud their efforts at retrieval). In Part 1, I discussed what Matthew Barrett referred to as the first usage of the term in English from 1827. It was a pejorative […]

Three major portions to the program today, starting off with some observations on the relationship of the Prologue of the Gospel of John (John 1:1-18) to the Prologue of the First Epistle of John. Then we looked at a post on X from a few weeks ago presenting a very one-sided view of the supposed “Petrine Promise” in Matthew 16, […]

We continued looking at the unhinged attacks on Penal Substitutionary Atonement today, following up on yesterday’s program. Looked at a lot of the reasons for the attacks, as well as the fact that you won’t believe the doctrine without the highest view of Scripture, its sufficiency, and its consistency as well. Hopefully a blessing to those wondering why this topic […]

After a brief note of some words from Mark Miravalle about the “5th Marian Dogma” movement that continues to this day, we started talking about Penal Substitutionary Atonement, PSA, which exploded on social media a few days ago. It is not that denying PSA is anything new: it’s a theological minority broadly speaking. But most evangelicals are unaware of its […]

Covered a few personal items at the start, talked a bit about Calvin Robinson and Rome, then about Pope Leo’s intention to elevate John Henry Cardinal Newman to the position of “Doctor of the Church” and what this might mean. Then we looked at a Leighton Flowers tweet on God’s sovereignty, and finished up moving back into David Allen’s book […]

Talked about debates and announced the upcoming debate with Dale Tuggy on 9/11 in Tullahoma. Looked at some amazing claims by a guy named Korean Baptist, and then spent the rest of the time looking at David Allen’s “the wooing of the Spir…

The claim of venerating icons being apostolic (by both EO & RC) is so obviously wrong that it seems that Nicea 2 (787 AD) is one of the clearest examples of a massive mistake in doctrine that the universal church … Continue reading
The Bible says we are to guard our heart (Proverbs 4:23), workout our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12), and grow in the grace of the Lord Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), however there some Christians that might look at this and say it sound l…
