Alpha and Omega Ministries

The archive of today's broadcast is now available! Dr. White went a bit long today, covering a handful of miscellaneous topics before getting back into our series on Orthodoxy. Today's Docket: View of Scripture: Responding to a progressivist UMC pastor presenting the "Bible isn't God's Word, it just points to God's Word" perspective. Eastern Orthodoxy Deep Dive: Looking at the historic confession of Cyril Lucaris as the critical background to the Confession of Dositheus that we began last week. Be sure to check the blog post for the reference links to Jason Wallace's original video and our past DL episode on Cyril Lucaris!

Started off with some comments about the childishness of many on line today, but spent most of our time on Eastern Orthodoxy and specifically thinking about a conversation Gavin Ortlund had with Jonathan Pageau, focusing on the Synod of Jerusalem. Then we began reading the Confession of Dositheus and we will continue that on the next program. Remember, I have been telling you the EO stuff was coming! But as we saw today, much of this conversation has tremendous meaning in other areas of theology and apologetics.

Went into the big studio today, started off with a little discussion of the Tucker Carlson stuff, and then shifted over to some comments by Eastern Orthodox speaker Alex Sorin that allowed us to discuss some other foundational issues about church history.

Picked up on a few developments since the last program out of Ogden including the "Nazi hunting" piece by Sauve, and then moved to a video of Archbishop Edward Weisenburger speaking at a mosque opening in Dearborn (Detroit area), identifying the place as one of true worship, where God is active, and even made reference to the Islamic prayers (which, of course, specifically identify Christianity as a religion that has been led astray). We discussed how this tells us a lot about how Romanism has changed, and is changing, over the centuries.

Addressed the Ogden Debacle today. Did not want to, honestly, but this is cancer in the camp, and it is spreading. Yes, Nazis---self proclaimed, proud ones---were selling their wares at the NCP conference and the excuse making by Sauve and Conn didn't fly. Be warned, brethren: this stuff is insidious!
