Alpha and Omega Ministries

Will confess, we sort of wandered a bit today given the constant drum beat of division and moral insanity in our culture. Eventually got to the church invasion on Sunday in St. Paul, Minnesota, and what it might indicate we could be facing in the years to come. We plan on doing another program Thursday, and then I leave for Dallas and Baton Rouge, so the schedule next week will be variable. Make sure to download the A&O app to stay aware of the schedule!

As promised, I looked over the "Sacralism on Steroids" graphic put out by the "New Christian Right" putting Donald Trump as Constantine (seriously) and noted the simplistic history that always accompanies these kinds of movements. Then we looked at the variant at 1 Timothy 3:16 as it was addressed by my upcoming debate opponent, Dr. Dustin Smith, in a recent podcast. Today's program has a fair amount of graphical information so audio only folks might be missing out on some things.

We started off the program with the major announcement of the scheduling of a major debate later in 2026 with Craig Truglia on the topic of the veneration of icons and the Seventh Ecumenical Council. I explained why this is a vital topic with greater ramifications than might first suggest themselves. Then we transitioned into some of Matthew Barrett's students converting to Anglicanism and where this might all lead. We will do another program tomorrow, so join us then!

Today we covered two things mainly, the clear division of the United States and its causes and, more to the point, what it will mean for the church in the near future and then we moved to Acts 20 and Paul's comments to the Ephesian elders and what it means to be guilty of men's blood, and what it means to "pervert" or "twist" the truth of God.

Tried to mine some gold from the Talmud at the start of the program, but didn't get any, then talked a good bit about the upcoming Qadhi dialogue and the inane attempts to parallel that with the politically motivated Christless Nationalism interactions with Nick Fuentes. Then we moved on to how quickly people forget history and fall into repeating it, to their own detriment.
