Alpha and Omega Ministries

Talked about Charlie Kirk calling for Protestants to "venerate Mary more as the answer to feminism. Also addressed some young men and their need to pursue wisdom and maturity before thinking they can simply dismiss those who plowed the ground before them. I also patted myself on the back about helping some uber, super cute kittens survive the Arizona heat. Live from The Views RV Park and Campground in Dolores, Colorado!

A "jumbo" edition of a Road Trip Dividing Line today from Albuquerque, New Mexico! We talked about John MacArthur, told a few stories, then talked about the sad, silly, inane folks trying to cash in on criticizing him. Spent a few minutes on the Alex Jurado controversy and how we can't just accept electronically produced evidence anymore, even in situations like this. Then we spent about 45 minutes responding to the guys from Trinity, including David Allen, looking at how their own language admits that our primary criticism has always been correct: they start with man, not with God. Then we looked at 1 John 5:1 and how both sides deal with it, or, in their case, don't deal with it at all.

I have to apologize for today's program. I started the stream, everything on my end said everything was great and worked well. But, I get done, and---no stream. No broadcast. Never had that happen before, and now I will always be wondering if it is working. Anyway, the recording worked anyway, so here it is. Talked about how being Reformed is relevant to, well, everything, including the flash flood in Texas recently. Then we discussed David Allen's new book, what it says about me, and how it uses scholarly sources. Sorry it wasn't broadcast live, as I thought it was! We will try to fix things for next time!

We looked in-depth today at the continuing discussion "do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?" This time we likewise looked at what modern Romanism teaches concerning salvation of those in non-Christian religions, and how all of this utterly undercuts Rome's authority claims. The last few minutes we responded to David Allen's continued refusal to defend his published works in public debate.

Basically three topics today, first, a few comments on the announcement just this morning that David Allen is putting out a book this Friday with the title, Liberating Romans from Reformed Captivity. Yes, that's the actual title. Then we looked at Wesley Todd thinking it would be better to have a Catholic fascist system of government because then you could convert them, which sort of means you don't know much about history. And finally we listened briefly to the logical outcome of the Orthodox "we are worshipping through the icon" argument, that being, there is no such thing as idolatry. The next program, on Thursday, should be coming from the mobile command center, though I do not actually pull out till Saturday.

Took some time to consider what the Bible says about Israel and the Church in light of recent events, then looked at another "let's sneak some Nazi stuff into another White Boy Summer video" stuff, and finished off reviewing the claims of Alex Jurado about the background of our debate last year, sadly having to correct a lot of error and misinformation.

A little bit of everything for folks today, from reviewing a thread promoting priestly confession to reading through a description of purgatory to listening to Dr. Riddle promoting TR Onlyism.

Looked at two video clips today, one from Joe Heschmeyer on the question "do Christians and Muslims worship a different God?" (we come to different conclusions) and the other from an EO priest relating a discussion he had with Joel Webbon about cessationism.

Decided I needed a break from the battle so as to remember the foundational stuff---we can get back to the rest next week, Lord willing. Looked at a few Psalms and just considered what is eternal and important--and will be important next week, next month, and 100 years from now--rather than what grabs our attention and often steals our joy today. Then we went back to listening to Calvin talking about the knowledge of God and how we can obtain it, and how sinful rebellion suppresses that knowledge.
