Alpha and Omega Ministries

Touched on a few items from the web to get started, but then transitioned back to the Confession of Dositheos, which, honestly, is the confession of Provisionism, too. I have already heard of Provisionists who swam the Bosporus, it is a really short swim!

Three major topics today, first, some more on the upcoming "debate" involving Dinesh D'Souza and his ever worsening diatribes against Calvinism. Then we responded to Joel Webbon's pious defense of having Alex Jones speak at a "Christ is King" Conference, and finished up doing in-depth in response to Leighton Flowers on Genesis 50 and motivations and actions.

Started off looking at developments on the Dinesh D'Souza front, looking at his citation of Jeremiah 19:5. Looked at the posting of a clip from Alex Jones in which I honestly stated that it seemed to me he was on drugs, his language and vile speech shocking even those on the program with him. And this is the lead speaker at the Christ is King conference in November. Then we moved back to Eastern Orthodoxy and looked at Empress Irene and her foundational role in calling, running, and determining the outcome of, the Second Nicene Council in 787.

Put up a nicely done graphic against Calvinism and started there, walking through its common objections and providing the same responses we have provided for decades now. Then we looked at Leighton Flowers attempting to turn John 6 into a Provisionist Pretzel (applauded by Jenna Ellis) while ignoring the reality of what happened to him in the debate a few years ago. Enjoy!

Went long today but covered a lot of territory. Looked at the horrific video from Tibet/China and the sudden floods and talked about theodicy, then moved to Dale Partridge pretending to be an Anglican and the Ogden crew hiding from the reality of having Alex Jones and Harrison Smith speaking at a "Christ is King" conference. Finished by looking at Webbon's incredible threat against Phil Johnson wherein he conflated the Great Commission with Christless Nationalism.

Had to address what everyone is talking about right now, so we went over my attempt to help D'Souza understand that which he clearly has never considered before, and then talked about Jenna Ellis' behavior on line. Then we looked at what is going on at Prays Mill and G3, and finished with some words for Dinesh from Scripture.

Started off commenting on the G3/Prays Mill/Tom Buck saga, giving my own insights as best I can. Then looked at the astonishing invitation to Alex Jones to speak at a "Christ is King" Conference along with Webbon, Robinson, Partridge, and the Ogden crew, a new low for Christ-less Nationalism. Then finished up with a short presentation on "St. Tarasios" in response to comments on X.

Well, it's two months to go till we have our debate in Gilbert, Arizona with Craig Truglia, and so...it's on my mind. So that's what we talked about today, getting into events at Nicea II, Patriarch Tarasios, etc. Don't tune it out! Vitally important material relevant to a lot of other things as well.

More topics today on the DL including showing off an early Christian hymn fragment from Wes Huff's papyri website (manuscriptshop.com), and then talking about the amazing rise of the Communists in the United States of America. Then we went back to the Confession of Dositheus and noted the parallels to the Provisionists claims, so we brought up a Leighton Flowers X post to document that as well.

Spent a few minutes talking about unbelieving "academic consensus" with Dan McClellan's claims about Jude and 1 Enoch, and then went back into my Pseudo-Dionysius presentation, finishing it up with a discussion of the influence this work had on Thomas Aquinas.

Today's episode features an introduction to the Pseudo-Dionysian Corpus. Dr. White takes some time to talk about the background of the corpus, looking at its general contents and discussing some of the viewpoints presented within the text. If you've been following the recent discussions on this topic and want a helpful overview of the source material, check out the full broadcast!

Covered the waterfront from Colorado Springs today! So, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 defended against Bishop Jaxi (again), new (good) rules for online behavior for the Eastern Orthodox, the Scriptural testimony to the sovereignty of God, a traditional Catholic being hypocritical about "Protestants," Bart Ehrman mentions me, Stephen Wolfe just isn't a serious man, and finally a bit on Pseudo-Dionysius. Whew! We hope to do a program Thursday however I have seven hours to drive that day so... we will have to see!

Covered a few things, such as the suicide of the West, Bart Ehrman's continued commitment to naturalistic materialism, the utter evil of Dr. Fauci (and the entire Big Pharma/Globalist Cabal), and the article I just finished in response to the Nickitopoulos/Truglia theory about Pseudo-Dionysius. Then finally we spent a lot of time looking at Cameron Bertuzzi's attempt to turn the old canon argument into the new, not-really canon argument, which is still the canon argument, and hence, has still been refuted for...centuries.

Started off with some personal stuff as I was watching events unfolding outside my window in the RV park. Then got to Radio Free Geneva and the comments from Frank Turek and Braxton Hunter and others on a panel a while back. Went through the Scriptures that had been cited in the question they responded to... but never touched. Then we listened to a William Lane Craig clip on how humans "co-actualize" the world with God.

Covered three main topics on our road trip program from Grand Junction today, going about an hour and fifteen minutes. We started off with a response to a Mormon in reference to my presentation last evening at Calvary Bible Church on bridging the communication gap with Mormons. Then we looked at a fine post by Ron Henzel on Acts 13:48 in response to Provisionists actually pushing the NWT's tortured rendering of that text. We then got back to the Confession of Dositheus, and finished looking at Decree 3, noting how it uses the same prevenient grace argumentation of modern Arminianism.

Covered a few topics (a little Open Theism) at the start and then listened to a portion of a "sermon" by a PCUSA priestess about how John 14:6 doesn't really say what...it actually says. Then we got back to Dositheus and discovered that the Provisionists have been stealing from the Orthobros all along!

Road Trip DL today from northern Arizona. We started with a response to Hayden Carroll on the subject of omniscience, and then moved to a discussion of a recent video I listened to attacking penal substitutionary atonement. We then read through a major portion of Isaiah 53 in reference to this topic. Might sneak another program in to get back to Dositheus, but that is dependent on travel.

Looked at a recent statement from Leighton Flowers that sure looks a lot like Open Theism, then moved on to some more evidence of how far removed Mormonism is from Biblical Christianity. Finished up listening to a section of Jay Dyer on Tucker Carlson talking about the "ancient church" and the Reformation.

Dr. White covers three main topics before heading up to Colorado! Today features a response to Patrick Madrid on Galatians 5:4, a look at the Mormon doctrine of God, and the conclusion of the Confession of Cyril Lucaris.

Mainly spent our time looking at an excellent example of what Mormonism's doctrine of "god" brings them to when discussing election and sovereignty, and then we almost finished up the Confession of Cyril Lucaris, talking about faith, justification, and the sacraments.
