First Program on Odysee: Omicron Variants, Scotus Case, TROnlyism Again, Responding to Tim Stratton

Opening Remarks on Odyssey and Censorship

Well greetings and welcome to The Dividing Line, a new era for our webcast. We started back in the days of real audio and then were forced, dragged me kicking and screaming into video. I still don't really know why.

I mean I'm going to show you some cool stuff today but you don't need to see this ugly aging mug to be honest with you. But anyway, so now we are on Odyssey today rather than YouTube. Not sure exactly what the future is going to hold there.

We want to have a presence on YouTube for other reasons to be honest with you, but you just simply can't say all sorts of things on YouTube anymore and you will be censored, you will be silenced if you talk about what's actually going on in the world and do so with any kind of honesty.

They are a part of it. And so if eventually we are just simply removed forever, well it's frozen in space, so, oh you hit pause. Well that, okay, well okay, Rich is showing me on the laptop that it's actually working which I assumed that it would or it wouldn't be doing it.

Yeah, well, no, I assumed we're going to be doing what we're going to be doing. So it's been a while since I've had the opportunity of saying anything about this because when I last did, YouTube deleted the program which is still available of course.

We had already set up and I'm thankful to all those who worked on doing this. We had already set up a backup to this service and then we had to figure out how to do live streaming and there you go. And so what will the future look like?

How long will there be freedom for other services like this? I don't know. But you all remember that years ago I was saying that it's the left's intention to push us into a ghetto, to marginalize us, and that's exactly what they're seeking to do.

And so if you know folks who maybe don't keep up with us all the time, let them know how they can keep listening and encourage them to do so and we'll go from there. So on my screen right now, I just noticed by the way, a question from Pravda, the folks at the White House for the regime where reporters go each day to get lied to repeatedly over and over again and everybody knows it and so it just becomes, that's how it always was in the Soviet Union, that's how it is in China, that's how it is now.

You have your state-run media where you get the lies that you are then supposed to repeat and woe to the nation where that is what takes place, but that's where we are. And Pravda today with their red-haired peppermint patty representative in front of the cameras said that nothing is off the table in regards to a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel.

And we've all been expecting that. There will be a lot of pushback, but these folks don't care about pushback, leftists don't care about pushback. These people, it's one of two things or a combination of both.

They are acting as if they will never lose another election, and maybe they won't. Or it's just, we've got it now, we've got to get everything we can. And so we're going to get trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars into our coffers, into our pockets, we'll be able to run on this forever.

And if that means that a bunch of people lose and the House and the Senate are lost for two years, hey, we got what we could and we'll win the big one again in 2024, the same way we won it in 2020. That seems to be the way they're behaving.

We will see. I was chatting a little bit with one of my first and best Greek students from years and years and years ago. I mean, decades ago. And she said, so have you pulled the last of your hair out listening to all the mispronunciations of Omicron recently?

Omicron! Tucker Carlson was Omicroning it too. And I'm just like, yeah, yeah. But, you know, the funny thing was, I was thinking about saying something on YouTube and I realized that is an easy word to have your algorithms going after is Omicron, even though it's going to be pronounced all sorts of different ways.

The Omicron is the short letter. Omega is the long, the short vowel. Omega is the long vowel. And so, yeah, we know the vast majority of people in the United States don't know anything about Greek. And so and modern pronunciation blurs the distinctions anyways.

So that's probably how it's all what's going on there. But the Omicron variant, about which so far we know almost nothing, I saw something I was reaching to save it, do a screenshot, do something, and I didn't do it.

I got distracted or something. I don't know. But I saw someplace I saw someone saying that they had something talking about Omicron variant in November of last year. And I would love to be able to find that again and see if that's documentably the case.

We don't know almost anything about this right now. And the problem anymore is I don't know that we ever will. I do not trust a word that comes out of Anthony Fauci's mouth. He is an inveterate liar. I think he should change his name to Mengele because he has been willing to absolutely devalue human life, right, left and center.

It is it is we are we are living in a day where we have people doing the same things that they were doing in the past that we have identified as crimes against humanity. But now we sit around going, hey, how are the Patriots doing?

You know, we don't we don't seem to care. Um, it's it's an astonishing thing to observe, but on the on the screen right now. Is the key to so many things that my friends now, why is that not down in the corner or is there something I'm not understanding about the picture there?

I'm just not not sure if there's I mean, no one really needs to see my my doodad here. That's where. No, no. You know, I thought you were good at this. I thought you were good at this. You're clearly demonstrating to us that.

You're not anyway, what you are seeing on the screen right now and my wife is asking me what my schedule today is, I'll tell her after we get done. Is the spike protein now, obviously, all images of molecules and things like that.

Are somewhat fake. This is a a protein structure with lots of sugars bound to it and and there are vitally important aspects to it. It has been analyzed right, left and center. These are the little nodules that you see in the the the pictorial.

The depictions of the SARS, COVID to COVID, COVID -19 molecule. These are I think it's an average twenty six around the outside. And so these are the things that. Grab onto yourselves and allow the injection of the viral materials into yourselves, which causes the infection and the reproduction of the of the virus, and it's fascinating stuff, and mankind hasn't known anything about it until past 50 years or so.

And now we know all sorts of these things, and unfortunately, because we do, we think that we can now play God as to how we deal with this stuff, which is why in 2019 there's a video of Anthony Fauci complaining about how long it takes to get things approved, and that's why he found a way to get things approved outside the normal channels.

The entire relationship of the FDA, CDC, all the big drug companies is the biggest incestuous mess of billions of dollars of corruption that has ever existed in the Western world, ever existed in the Western world.

And that's why who can trust almost anything coming from these people anymore? They are all in bed with each other. People who used to work for the CDC or the drug companies, people, drug companies, the CDC, it's just they're all one big, happy, really filthy, rich and powerful family now.

And everybody knows it. That's the sad part. But that's the baby right there. And here's the issue. We developed these mRNA vaccines in starting in the summer of 2020, so 18 months ago. Now, the reason we've never the reason we have done influenza shots on a regular basis over the years is because these critters mutate.

It's really part of how they're designed. And therefore, as we I just wish we had had better memories. And I say that as a person just about to turn 59, I wish I had better memories. Because up until 2019, all of us could remember situations where CDC, places like that, put out a prognosis, a prediction as to what the flavor of the year was going to be for the flu and put out inoculations, flu shot based on what they expected.

And we can all remember that there were specific years where they whiffed it. They weren't even close. The flu shot did nada. A different strain was there. And we need to remember, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people died.

They would have died one way or the other. People just do not understand mortality numbers. They do not understand death numbers at all. And the regime has taken advantage of this and scared people to death.

If people had any idea how many people die every day from coronary disease, McDonald's would shut down tomorrow if they if they had any idea. But they don't. And so if you can take advantage of their ignorance.

To panic them about something that is a tiny, minor part of the numbers of mortality for mankind. But it's worked. It's worked. It's worked really, really well. Congratulations to them. It's evil. They will be judged for it as that's common.

But anyway, I've just seen I just got a picture. I got to do this. I got to do this. Let me see if I can if I can pull this out here. Oh, here. Hold on. I'm a grandpa and I'm doing my program. And this comes across signal.

And that's my youngest. And she just had a tooth come out. There you go. So congratulations, Jenny. It's like, look. So, yeah, there you go. Isn't she beautiful? My my grandkids are just are just. Oh, don't take that down.

There you go. Sorry. Got to get that back down to there. There we go. All right. What kind of things distracted Spurgeon while preaching? Well, it wasn't that. But there you go. So, Jenny, you'll get to see yourself 20 years from now.

Jenny will be looking at that going, oh, wow, that's what you get. Anyways, what are we talking about? Oh, yeah. So back to the Omicron variant. Sorry. What we've done is we have created starting in 2020.

MRNA vaccines that instead of taking a dead vaccine or a diminished vaccine and culturing it and then injecting that because that takes time. We decided to start playing with our own genetic. Mechanisms and what these vaccines do is they produce that thing that we had up on the not Jenny, the spike protein, they produce that.

And now the problem is we've discovered that this is pathogenic. This actually is the primary thing that causes the heart inflammation. People have died all over the world. No one will admit it. And the drug companies are completely free from any issues regarding that.

But this is what causes the inflammation of the heart lining. And and we don't know what the long term impact of that booger is on five year old developing bodies. And now they want to get down to where you get this shot when you're born, basically.

And eventually they'll force that. They will they will say you can't take a kid out of the hospital. That's that's what these people are all about. And it has nothing to do with. Saving lives that they don't care, they have zero interest in saving lives, these people do.

They have 100 percent interest in controlling any lives that have to survive. And having a mechanism of tracking them and well, here, did he did he did he did he did he did he do this? That's a musical interlude.

We have a special music going on there. Here is. We don't need the we don't need the sound there, but there was sound here. Here we have in France in a restaurant, I've been in restaurants like this. This looks this looks like a your standard European restaurant, especially like a hotel.

And what do we have? We have the cops and they're going table to table asking for your vaccine passport and you have to pull you pull up your your papers, please. And this is this is the cost of living in Europe.

Now, this is what's coming for us. And it'll it'll be here before long. And you just need to recognize that's what these these people want. And it's all about control. So remember, I don't know how long it was ago, about a month and a half ago.

Anthony Fauci, a .k .a. modern Mengele, was on with perky Katie Couric. A lot of people I'm dating myself when I say perky Katie Couric, but was doing an interview with Katie Couric. And Katie says, so are these new variants coming from the unvaccinated?

Those terrible, horrible, selfish people. I was even writing. I do most of my writing inside now. There there are these world, there are these programs you can use and they are extremely realistic and you can climb mountains.

I'll never, ever get to climb in real life. And it's a lot of fun. You race people around the world and it's it's great. It's a great workout. And I don't have to worry about people running over me because they're texting.

And when you see how many people, how many how many man hours have we lost sitting at stoplights because the guy in the front won't go because he's on Facebook? Ever thought about that? How much gas have we burned?

Because you have to wait and then you have to honk and then you see the head pop up because the guy in front of you was on the phone, right? See it over and over again. OK, they're doing the same thing while driving.

So I don't like being on roads. And you know what the sad thing is? I have the Arizona Canal near me, and I used to ride miles and miles and miles on it. You know why I can't do that anymore? Because all the underpasses are now clogged with drug addled homeless people.

And they will no longer be cleared out. And so it smells like a sewer down there. There are syringes everywhere. And I can't go that direction either. So I'm glad we can ride online. You know what happened when I was riding online just two days ago?

I had the chat on, you know, people can message things. And here they here they come. You selfish people who aren't getting the vaccine. Stop thinking about just yourself and about all the rest of us.

I'm just like. I wonder how long until you have to provide your Vax papers to ride online. It's that's insane. It is insane. All of it is all of it is. So Katie Couric asks Fauci, A .K .A. Mengele. You know, this is it's coming from the unvaccinated.

And he says, yes, of course. Now, no one who understands what selection pressure is would answer that way. And Fauci does know he was just lying through his teeth. The man the man that the man can lie while smiling.

He has no soul. There is just there's nothing there. It's astonishing. And since he does know. The Omicron variant has 23 mutations in the thing that I just showed you a few moments. Twenty three mutations in the spike protein, which is why there is concern that it will evade.

The vaccines for the simple reason that this that we are and I've said this for a long time, and it was that doctor up in Idaho that said at first that I heard we are vaccinating for last year's virus and we are.

So has we all we everybody knows in the scientific community that eventually the spike protein will have enough mutations on it. To evade the antibodies that are produced by the original vaccine. And so the Pfizer, Moderna, they're all gearing up for new vaccines.

So not only do you have to get the third and the fourth and now with the Johnson and Johnson every two months, now you're going to have new vaccines. With new health questions. What will these do? We don't know, and we're not going to test to find out.

Because now the idea is it is all absolutely about. The regime having the right to say to you, sit down, roll your sleeve up and don't ask us what we're putting in, you do not ask for safety data. Do not ask for anything.

Do it or starve. That's that's the power that they want and that we are giving to them. That's what we're doing. So the Omicron variant, it may have been around for a long time. It might evade, it may not.

They want. You must understand, Moderna and Pfizer are praying for a full evasion variant. Think of the money they will get. Think of the power they will get. The left wants full evasion variant. As quickly as possible.

Because then they can absolutely maintain complete control. And continue the largest wealth transfer in history. As well as power transfer and the utter dismantling of Western democracies and the establishment of a totalitarian state.

That's what they want, because they think they are wiser than all the rest of us. And that's how they're going to get all their climate stuff through. And that's why you're not going to be driving a car.

In 10 years. And you're going to be dependent upon public transportation. And remember something. If you go, well, you know, those those those cars aren't all that bad. They're getting pretty, they're pretty interesting.

Do you think they're going to allow those cars to go to your church? Yeah. You see, the freedom, freedom of movement. Is dangerous to totalitarianism. And so, so much of this stuff is to end. Every aspect of your freedom, because totalitarians are afraid of people who have freedom, because then they can think the wrong thoughts.

And those I was going to play are. Oh, that's that was part of what got us bounced when I played the woman talking about I'm stressed. I'll bet you anything that's what got us. I'll bet you anything. I just realized it.

I just sitting here right now. I played that video. And that video was of of a woman. Who's been advocating against this stuff for years, even before COVID talking about how these vaccine passports are not have nothing to do with health.

They are they were being talked about years beforehand by the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization on all the global elites that are behind all this stuff. And that's what got us. I just I just realized it wasn't it wasn't anything I said.

That's what got us. They set up an algorithm that searched for that and nailed us. That was it. That was it. Should have should have thought of it. Should have thought of it. What she said was true and remains true to this day.

That's what these folks are about. And you're just going to continue to continue to see this. Over and over and over again, because this is the battlefield of our of our time. This is what we're facing.

These people detest the Christian worldview, and this is their mechanism for seeking to stamp it out. Now, very quickly. Yesterday, I'm not going to anything right now. I'm going to wait till a little bit more comes out that I can read and have documentation on, but.

It was fascinating to listen to some of the statements from the SCOTUS presentation of the Dodd case. And I don't. The Supreme Court is a broken reed. It will not support any weight. Roe v. Wade could be overturned, and the left will give its last ounce of blood to then have it.

That's why the left is trying to get Roe v. Wade through Congress. They need to have the House and the Senate. There are so many utterly compromised Republicans that I can see it happening, certainly see it happening.

Conservatism that is not based upon a sound worldview that recognizes what humanity is is just slow moving leftism. And so while we can pray. That that horrific, absurd, unscientific, ahistorical, illogical, irrational, immoral.

Decision be overturned. We need to realize that even if it is. There is we are still facing the reality that looking at the at the comments that were being made before. People celebrating, really worshipping, absolutely worshipping at the altar of abortion.

Tells us that what our society needs is not a Supreme Court decision. But for the Supreme Court of the universe. To issue a writ of mercy to change hearts and minds in this culture. That is the only hope that we have, the only hope that we have.

By any stretch of the imagination, it is truly astonishing to to listen to what people were saying. It looks like Sotomayor was the one that was chosen to do the leftist, um, wild eyed, crazy person stuff.

And she did. And she fulfilled her role. There were good questions being asked by others. But. I will be perfectly honest. I. I am skeptical. I am skeptical. I could see. Another, what was the Pennsylvania case in the 90s that had the opportunity of overturning Roe and they they upheld it?

Casey, yeah, Casey. I'm if I were if I were a betting man and I'm not, I would Casey this one. I hope not. But I'm just. Um, there's there's so much behind the scenes, there's there's so much. I mean, that was such a horrific decision that the fact that anyone could even defend it.

You know, what what what can you say? It's it's it's the day we live in. It really is the day we live in. So anyhow. All right. Let me see here. Uh, uh, did it did it did it did it? Did I just look at some stuff here?

Yeah. Kofi said something to me. Samuel said something to all about the same thing. Let me just mention this before we get to the Molinism stuff. Evidently, as we announced a couple weeks ago, Dr. Jeff Riddle went over to Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and presented.

As far as I can tell, I haven't listened to it yet. I've downloaded it. You know, how many times do you have to listen to the exact same thing over and over again? But the titles seem to be the same titles that he gave in his talks at the conference they did in late 2019.

And you'll recall that we rather fully reviewed, played portions of and have demonstrated the utter circularity of the TR-only position, of the debates, also demonstrated the utter circularity of the position, the incoherence of position, the fact that they will admit, yes, we use one form of argumentation for this variant, and then we throw all the standards, all the standards we hold you to for this variant, we throw them out and we use a new set of standards for this variant.

That's how you defend a defensible reading, like the Long Grinding of Mark, which is defensible, it has antiquity, over against an indefensible reading like Ephesians 3 .9, or Revelation 16 .5, or Revelation 14 .1, or Kamiohadeum, against the indefensible ones.

So there are defensible readings in the TR, there are indefensible readings in the TR, and you have to use completely different standards for the two. And they'll do whatever they have to do, and smile while doing it.

And, you know, it's funny, I was going back and forth with Tim Stratton on Twitter earlier today, and he was, and the issue of philosophy versus theology, sources of Christian belief, and the role of logic kept coming up, as if I don't believe you should do logic, and I shouldn't, you know, so I've never, when I wrote The God Who Justifies, I never did consistent hermeneutics in the original languages, because I don't evidently believe in logic.

No, what I would say said was, you can come up with all the cute little logical syllogisms you want, if they're not based in a Christian worldview, they will have no relevance to the truth. Well, here's a situation where I have pressed the necessity of being consistent and logical for years, and, but it's within the realm of Christian theology.

It's based upon dealing with history as history. We're dealing with written documents, and how later written documents came into existence. And as I've, and no, they cannot refute this. As I've said over and over again, you could not take the manuscript tradition today, exam the manuscripts and come up with the TR.

They cannot, Jeffrey Riddle, none of those guys could give you a mechanism whereby you could exam the manuscripts today and come up with the TR, because it was inconsistent. Erasmus had extremely limited resources, as did Stephanus, as did Beza, in comparison to what we have today.

And so they cannot develop a textual critical theory, and if you listen to them carefully, they don't want to, and in fact think that it's wrong. You should never believe that there has been corruption of the text, because, well, the Confession says it's been kept pure, so there's never been any corruption.

And we all know that as far back in history as we want to go, into the second century itself, there are discussions of textual variance. And so they disconnect the text from history, establish the TR as the final authority, will not discuss the sources, will not in any meaningful fashion discuss how that came into existence.

They'll simply say, that's the standard, and if you don't go there, you do not have the Word of God. It is an irrational, circular system that was already demonstrated in the debates that we did. And we've gone over this over and over again.

So if I respond to the MetTab stuff, it's not gonna be anything different than what I've already responded to. I'm gonna have to say the same things repeatedly, I'm gonna have to go back and get the graphics and say, okay, we've already said this, but here it is again.

And maybe, since this is, you know, the MetTab, maybe it's worth doing it and making that available so that people can grab that as a single resource. Or, I don't know, it would be a whole lot easier to just go back to all the programs and the hours and hours and hours and hours we've already done, and put all that together and say, look, this has been refuted over and over and over again.

Here's the information again. But yeah, I know it's sad that this stuff is going on and such a distraction from important things. But anyway, so, like I said, I responded to Samuel this morning and said, and even linked to the first blog article I did responding to the conference they did, I think it was was it November of 2019, something like that?

It was right before we were plunged into darkness. And I forget how many hours we did in response to that stuff, but we've done a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. And maybe we could put our volunteer on to creating a time index playlist.

That would be really valuable. Otherwise, I've got to do it all over again. And there could be some people in the audience going, I'm not going through all that again. I'm just not going to do that. Yes, richpierce14 on Twitter, some guy, you know who that guy is.

Weird picture. So we are about 15 minutes in on the live show. Pretty sure it won't get posted to YouTube. Yeah, well, as I said, this is why we need to get hold of, hey, and I actually made a comment.

And maybe I don't even know how to get the response back. But dividing line highlights, guys, whoever you are, we'd like to hear from you. We appreciate what you do. Really, really do. And now I need to talk to you.

Maybe you could help us with this. Maybe you will be. Would you like your channel to blow up? Maybe you could be very helpful in, for example, I'm going to transition here into a discussion of the Molinism issue.

And that the YouTube censors are going to be wondering who Mol is. Who's Mol? So they don't care. That's not going to get flagged for anything. And so we'd like to we'd like to talk with you about what you do and stuff like that.

Yes, sir. You know, do you know this richpierce14 guy?

I, he's me. Oh, oh, OK. Yeah. Yeah. It's I him. Uh huh. Since we're all about that these days, right? No, not so much. So the plan here, Odyssey is going to work different since you're taking a moment here.

And after the show's over, sorry about that. After the show's over, we will upload the back backup recording. Odyssey is still we're still in beta mode for live streaming. So they're still in the process of developing this.

There's more and more and more they're going to unfold next year. So hopefully we're going to get to a point where we're close to how where you or they're going to be purchased by Facebook and it's all dead.

Yeah, there you go. So but in the meantime, it's a very from what I'm learning, a very libertarian place. And I read their their terms of service. And it's pretty much if you don't do anything gross, violent or illegal, you're good.

So that's my, you know, richpierce14 version of it. But yeah, it's, it's going pretty well over here. Okay, so it's all good. Good. All.

Right. Well, yeah, we'll just keep doing what we wanted. We're gonna keep trying to get stuff done. Okay. So tomorrow, tomorrow, the recording of the dialogue discussion debate with William Lane Craig will drop probably early in the morning, I assume.

I'm not sure what the time frame is. But London's five hours ahead of Eastern four or five right now. Anyways. So it should be early in the day. I expect just all sorts of because we're already getting all sorts of stuff from well, to use Dr. Stratton's terminology, the Molinist community, I didn't know there was a Molinist community, but I guess there is.

Which is small group of folks pretty radically committed to their unique perspectives. But that's gonna drop tomorrow. And I hope you enjoy listening to it. Hopefully we have given you enough heads up for what the issues are to be listening to it carefully.

I did the program, right after he did it, primarily because, as I said, word had gotten out, I had, I wanted to, I wanted to make sure it happened. I didn't want to get get fires going beforehand. And I knew it was, you know, people are gonna say, Well, why didn't you say it was going to be happening?

And blah, blah, blah. It's like, Okay, let's just explain why it was. And I took the time to sort of say, Okay, here's, here's what the issue is. Here's what the key, this is why I was as focused upon this as I was, because the fact of the matter is 99 of people have no earthly idea what Molinism is.

Despite the fact that we've addressed it for years and years and years. And so why, given everything else going on, would you be investing your time in a subject like this? And I, in that, in the in the weeks leading up to it, had been reviewing The Only Wise God.

We were looking specifically at what William Lane Craig says in his own words and responding to it. Part of that was for his own benefit, by the way. Someone associated, not gonna give out names, someone associated with Unbelievable had asked for, could you provide stuff that you've done?

I said, Well, you know, here's a program we just did, I'm gonna be doing more programs. And, you know, this is a chapter in my book on the subject of evil. And, and so part of that was so that Bill Craig would have more information as to where I'd be coming from.

So you'll notice, for example, when I got to my key objection, and the more I make the objection, the more I'm realizing I don't think there's an answer to this. When I got to that objection, he was ready, he knew.

And that's helpful. That's a good thing. That's not a negative thing. It's a good thing that he knew I was going to raise the grounding objection. And I raised the grounding objection within the context of my assertion that the Christian worldview is a truth making worldview.

Now, I didn't say that in the program, because I let him bring up the truth making stuff. But since that has come up, and since I dealt with it on the last program in the big studio, I do not see how anyone can look at the doctrine of creation in Scripture, especially as that doctrine of creation interfaces with Christology.

That is, Jesus Christ is the creator of all things. All things sunestecan, they hold together in Him. If it exists in this universe, it holds together in Christ. There is nothing that exists in this universe that Jesus didn't define.

There is nothing true in this universe. The Jesus does not make true. There is no fact in this universe. The Jesus does not make a fact. That's radical, but I've been teaching that in seminary for decades.

Decades. I can point you to people who graduated from Golden Gate Seminary, and they attended my classes in the 1990s. And they will tell you, I was teaching that then. And so, my objection, specifically, is to the idea, which, and when you have these conversations, the other side becomes even more clear in what it's saying.

And so, the 2014 statement from Bill Craig, that the truth value of subjunctive conditionals, which is what makes up the essence of middle knowledge, is not under God's control. In our conversation, he says, does not arise from His will.

It's not based upon His will. I can give you the exact quote if I wanted to fire up my notes here. And so, the more we press on that, the more clarity we get on that. And if that's the one useful thing that comes out of it, great, fine, wonderful.

But that is my point. That if you allow this to form your, the foundation of your epistemology, the radical claims of this book, that the Maker entered into His own creation, that it is in Jesus Christ that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

If you believe that, first and foremost, and then practice philosophy on the basis of that, you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever come to Mullinism. Because Mullinism is saying that there is something that has existence, not material existence, but an existence so inviolable.

It's not based upon God's will. It's not a part of His creation. He does not define it. But it's so inviolable, it determines what worlds are feasible for God to create. That I find to be an absolutely fatal objection for a Christian.

Now, if you're, if you're just a philosopher, and you're just, you like to, you know, come up with arguments about epistemology and, and trans world theories and have fun, but don't call it Christianity.

Don't call it biblical. Don't call it consistent with what the apostles taught. Admit it is a philosophical system that is drived long later that you are forcing on scripture. And when it changes the meaning of scripture, then it's a real problem.

So anyway, I did the follow-up video and Dr. Stratton decided to do a live video in response to a portion of what he said. Now, what was amazing was he had somebody write to him an email and, and say, hey, he thinks he has a fatal objection to Mullinism.

Toward the end of my comments, in passing, it was not my, my primary point at all. And I don't know how anybody could watch my video and come to the thinking that that was the essence of my argument. But that's what he responded to, as if it was the essence of my argument.

I made the statement about, because of the existence of the truth value of these subjunctive conditions, that there are people that God can never save. And I just asked people to think about what that would mean.

Because that, that means the definition of those individuals is inviolable, but God didn't create it that way. So it is a reality that God cannot change, but he did not determine it. You see, one of the major differences is, my focus is on what this says about God.

Mullinism's focus is upon man. Man is the man's nature, even though not decreed to be created. And I would, I would, I argue, this is meaningless drivel. There is no such thing as the essence of any individual that can be known before God decrees to create him, because God's decree to create is what brings that individual into existence, defines that individual, defines their gifts, defines when they're going to live, defines who they are.

Mullinism has human beings who are defined by something other than God. The only thing that's defined by God in mullinism for human beings is when and where they live, and then his micromanagement of everything they experience.

Which I, again, that's a whole other area that I just find, that's not autonomy, that's not true libertarian freedom, that's, that's made up. But be it as it may, the point is that man is the centered definitional issue when it comes to creation in that system.

And so, I was saying, hey, look, think about what this means as to the limitations upon God. There are people that ostensibly, I guess, God loves as, does God love uncreated people? I don't know. We are so far beyond anything that any prophet or apostle of Jesus Christ ever even dreamed about that I, I don't know.
