Final Road Trip Program for This Trip

I said mute. Oh, got to work on that. Welcome to the last of the road trip dividing lines for a little while anyways. I'm home for a while. And then we have two trips. I think within like two weeks. If we've got anything really got to work on on the unit, we're gonna have to get to it fast between those two.

We've got some big, big things going on. I'm gonna be in St. Charles first weekend, December is normally. I don't know if you've noticed this yet. By the way, you can tell this is the last one. I'm not even worrying with what's behind me.

I'm not standing up there trying to hang anything up. I've come up with a pretty good idea how to take care of the background issue in the future fairly, a little bit easier than what we were thinking about doing.

Anyway, yeah, so if an RV goes by or someone walks their dog or something like that, hey, I am live in the back of the Mobile Command Center and we've been doing this for a few years now. So you're probably used to it, I would imagine.

It looks like everything's working over on all the technical stuff. Anyways, gonna be in St. Charles and we're gonna be talking about the LGBTQ revolution. Just one of the many aspects of the culture of death.

And if you're making plans for the holidays, as I discovered, Thanksgiving is really late this year. I think it's the 28th. So very short holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which means we have to start Christmas music pretty much right now.

I even talked to my wife about that. Anyway, it is gonna make it hard to travel to get to St. Charles in time and not miss Thanksgiving with my family. I'm gonna do my best, but it may result in some long travel days to get that all done and get there when I need to be there.

Anyway, so keep that in mind if you're making travel plans very, very late. Thanksgiving this year. I would love to have a debate on that subject there in St. Charles. Like keep asking this one guy. He's supposed to be this great salesman, but man, it's been like 20 years and he has completely struck out on getting any debates over 20 years.

And so it makes me sort of wonder if he was just all that great a salesman to begin with. I don't know, but he may be watching or will watch later, I'm not sure. I know his granddaughter Anya's over this evening and is wondering what Star Trek episode will be on.

At least he's done one thing right is he's gotten his grandkids on the original Star Trek. And that's a good thing. Hi, Anya, how you doing? Anyway, so we'll be heading there. And on the way back, we'll be in prior Oklahoma as well with brother Derek Melton, which reminds me, I think Rich said there's a week and a day left in the raffle for the beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Derek Melton forged knife that is you can see at aomin .org, buy your tickets.

And again, that's helps to offset the costs we encountered in moving into this unit from a defective unit that I'm not gonna spend time talking about all that today, but I'm thankful to everyone who has helped us to make that change.

And to be out here doing what we're doing. I'm in Northern Arizona. I could have pushed through to home. Though I'll be honest with you, the storms that I was driving into were substantial. And so I was glad to be here when they hit and not on the I -40, especially when you got crosswinds.

One of the things, if you don't drive something big, you don't think about the crosswinds and how much those semis move and how much I move. I'm about size of a semi. And so you've gotta be trusting all the people around you and that's a hard thing to do sometimes.

So anyways, Lord willing, I get home tomorrow, even though there are some challenges on the road tomorrow, construction challenges tomorrow and some pretty steep downhills. This is the lowest I've been altitude-wise since I left four weeks ago.

And I'm still at 5 ,300 feet. So I'm about the same as Denver. But this is the lowest I've been. I've been 6 ,000, 7 ,000 the whole trip, at least as far as where I was staying and riding up to over 12 ,000 feet above sea level.

So lots of oxygen all of a sudden down here and it's also warmer, that's for sure. So I'll admit I wanna see the wife, wanna see the kiddies, the kids, the grandkids, folks at church, Rich, not so much.

We talk all the time. Anyways, but I'm not looking forward to the heat. It's been pretty nice missing the 118s and stuff like that, I've gotta admit. But you gotta get home sometimes. So before St. Charles and the LGBTQ stuff, that's the topic of the conference at Grace Covington Church, Covington Grace Church, will be the LGBTQ revolution.

Like I said, would love to have a debate. They just know they have the media and they have the culture, so why would they do it? It's just a negative negative for them. That's why they dodge everything now and won't debate the subject.

But before that trip, I will be doing a debate in Mobile, Alabama. Tom Riello is the opponent that I'll be debating on the subject of the mass. I think I mentioned last time, it's actually a very strong statement that Roman Catholic mass is the only true way to worship God, I think is what it was.

So that'll be interesting. And then on the way back from that will be the Fight, Laugh, Feast thing in Fort Worth, where I'll be speaking on America's need to repent of her love of secularism. So that will be interesting and hopefully helpful to everybody.

And then I'm home, like I said, a couple of weeks and then Thanksgiving and then the next day. I mean, I'll have to be ready to go on Thanksgiving and pull out that Friday to get to St. Charles in any type of comfortable way.

So we've got a lot more going on the rest of the year, Lord willing. And of course, by the time, in fact, I think, yeah, I'll be getting home or man, I'm not even sure. Anyways, the election's in there somewhere and I live in Maricopa County, so it doesn't really matter for me, but that's sort of how it goes.

Want to get to a number of things. I actually threw out a thing on Twitter to say, hey, if any of you wanna ask some questions, but I realized it's Saturday. And so I realized that people don't do things, normal things on Saturday.

They're not watching social media and things like that, probably not watching the dividing line and all that. And that's fine, but road trips are road trips and you do it when you can do it. So that's what we're doing now.

And if I get done early, I get done early. That's all there is to it. I did want to, at the end of the, I wanted to do this in the last program and I neglected to do so. But I think it is really important.

Thanking the Local Churches That Hosted the Trip

We love the local church. We exist to serve the local church. I had the opportunity of preaching on the Lord's day in three local churches on this trip. I was at Summit Lake Community Church, South Side of Dolores, Colorado.

It's in a town that starts with an M. I had all this written out before and I forgot to do it last time. And Pastor Rob Velez or Velez, I just knew Rob, so we didn't do the last name stuff. So I apologize as to where to put the emphasis on the syllable.

And we're hoping to get to do something again, next year there, something a little bit more than just preaching on Sunday, do a conference, mini conference, something along those lines. If you're in that South Western corner of Colorado, beautiful area, rather sparsely populated, but a beautiful area.

And so if you're in that area, you might want to visit folks there at Summit Lake Community Church. Then we went to Breathe Reformed Baptist Church in Colorado Springs, Pastor James Medina. And that's where we had the debate with Alex, who, by the way, I had lunch with yesterday at a truck stop.

Well, okay, I gotta go to truck stops. This is a big unit, I have a fleet car, we gotta go through the diesel lanes and get deaf and all that kind of stuff. So we found, I picked out what looked like a good, when you have a fleet car, there are only certain places you can go.

And so you have to look at the app and make plans and things like that. So I picked this place out just because it looked like a good spot as I was going through Albuquerque, I was going from Raton to Grants in New Mexico.

And lo and behold, I sent the information to Alex and he says, I live about five minutes from there and I used to work there. I had actually picked a place to meet that he had worked at like 10 years ago or something like that, work security there.

So I was like, oh, cool, we should be able to meet up that way. And we did, spent almost two hours, had wonderful conversation. You know, one of the things he said to me was that he's watched almost all my debates, at least, I think he probably means with Roman Catholics, but I think he has watched some others too.

And I've obviously had a real influence on what he thinks debates should be because we really agree. And that's, I think, one of the reasons why things went so well in that first debate there in Colorado Springs.

Of course, Pastor Medina and all the guys there found out just how much work there is putting together something like that, working with the other side, arranging things, scheduling, it's a lot of work.

And so I'm very thankful for all the work that was done there in putting that together there in Colorado Springs. And then of course, the last church that I was at for the debate last weekend was New City Church in Denver.

Aaron Carlson seems to be probably my future contact place. It's nice to have a church in an area where you don't necessarily are always there, but that's your sort of go-to situation. And we had a great time there with Pastor Carlson and his folks.

And I've already talked a little bit about the debate and we'll let that go. But I wanted to thank all these local churches for everything that they did to make this whole thing work. That's why we do what we do and let you all know about those churches.

If you are looking for a place, you're moving there, whatever the situation might be to know those excellent churches that are in that particular area. Real quickly, I'm gonna be on with Jeremiah Nortier, that's how you say it in French anyways, on the Apologetic Dog webcast like half an hour after we finished this program.

And well, I'm thinking it's 5 .13 here right now. So at 6 .30, I think. I actually, I need to double check the email that he confirmed on that. Yeah, there it is. And okay, yeah, he says good on that.

And there is a really cool graphic that he had. Not if I could find it. Oh, I had trouble opening that within this program. So I'll not worry about it right now, but there's really nice. I should have posted it on Twitter, but I had too much to do to get it set up and stuff.

But so I'm gonna be joining him on the Apologetic Dog. We'll be talking about all three debates. I've talked about the first two debates here on the program just briefly, because I wanna get to the active and passive obedience of Christ topic today that popped up on the program.

But I haven't said anything about the debate with Jared Longshore that we did just a few days ago. I mean, that was on Wednesday evening. And I think most people watching that debate recognize you're listening to two people who have respect for one another and get along with one another.

And are obviously seeking to accomplish many of the same things as far as the building of the church and the kingdom of God. But we have fundamental differences. I couldn't be an elder in, well, you know, CREC, that's different.

But for most churches, I couldn't be an elder in their church and vice versa, because we have fundamental differences in our understanding of the new covenant, who's in the new covenant, what baptism is, what it means, what it symbolizes.

And yet, I think what bugs a lot of folks is we can have meaningful conversations and differences as I have in my debates with Doug Wilson over the years. We've had a debate just within the past couple of years on pieto-communion, now Jared Longshore and I debating the new covenant, which is debating baptism.

Fundamentally. And it bugs a lot of people that we can do that without the cancellation that is normally the byproduct, shall we say, of theological controversy and difference. And the fact of the matter is I can disagree with and get along with Doug and Jared and Toby and Gabe and Chocolate Knox when I can't do that with a lot of Reformed Baptists.

And I don't just mean the weirdos that I was blocking last week with their red and blue eyes and Hitler wasn't all that bad of a guy. I'm talking accepted, well-known people. I think it bothers people that we're able to do that in some fashion, but yeah, you can disagree without getting canceled within that context.

And that's a good thing. I think it's a good thing. There are a lot of people that think it's a bad thing. It went exactly as I expected it to. If you had listened to, if you had read his articles and listened to my responses on the dividing line, we were in the other studio in the previous incarnation of the Mobile Command Center, which I assumed I was gonna be in for many, many years.

Anyway, that's where I did those responses as I was coming back from St. Charles last year. And we went in depth into Romans. Now, I spent hours doing that, so I was able to do it much more slowly. On the dividing line, you only have, what do we have, 15 or 20 minutes?

I forget what it was as far as the opening was concerned, but probably couldn't get quite as in-depth, but I pretty much got to everything I wanted to get to. I got to say everything I needed to say.

And my feeling basically was Jared said, yeah, that Hebrew text, that's your strong suit, but I'd go over here and I'd go over there. And I'm like, I think it is important to say that there was an illustration of where I go, but guys, that's not how we do it in other areas.

When we agree, when me and Jared or my Presbyterian brothers are dealing with Roman Catholicism and we are debating a Roman Catholic on justification, if Alex and I debated justification, okay? I really like Alex.

As Rich said, when I talked to him on the phone a couple of days ago, he says, that's a classy guy. And I said, yeah, he is, really is. So let's say Alex and I debated justification. What would that look like?

Well, I've debated justification with a number of Roman Catholics in the past. And what fundamentally happened is what the reform do is we go to the main and plain texts. And I would argue Roman Catholics don't even have the freedom to determine what the main and plain texts are.

Rome sort of tells them, just not infallibly. Anyway, that's another subject. But we're gonna go to Romans one through five, basically. And then maybe tie in some from eight. Because you go to the places where you have verse after verse, paragraph after paragraph, in this situation, chapter after chapter, directly teaching on the subject at hand.

And what Rome does is they will grab a verse over here. And so we've got wisdom is justified by her children. There is justification. That's not what it's talking about. Paul's talking about how we are made right before God.

He's talking about justification, what it means to be justified. He's talking about the atoning work of Christ. He's talking about faith. He's talking about works. He's talking about all that stuff in that one text.

And all of us reform guys, we go, yeah, you go to the main part. And I use this illustration. In fact, I remember coming up with this illustration. I better get this out of here before I forget these things.

I was writing a little book called Justification by Faith for Crown Publications. This was when I first started writing books. Crown had said, we'll publish whatever you write. And so I'm writing these books.

And I went up to Joe Charles's cabin. In Prescott, this beautiful home up in Prescott. And he let me go up there for a couple of days and it's just all to myself. So I'm up there just writing, writing, writing.

And that's where I came up with the illustration of the car manual. And I think most cars still come with a printed manual. I mean, they'll have the PDF version and stuff like that. But you used to have in your glove compartment, all dog-eared and yellowed by the heat and the various years that had been in there, a manual for your car.

I remember when I got my first Subaru in 2019, my wife drives it now. Man, that, it's like that thick. It was huge. Which is why it's easier to have a PDF now so you can search it. But you'd get a manual and it would have an index.

And I used the illustration. I said, if you wanna know about the lights in your car, you might find references to the lights in the section on the battery and maintenance and part numbers and electrical system, all that kind of stuff.

But you start by going to the section on the lights. Here's the discussion. This is how you turn them on, turn them off, high beam, low beam, which used to be your left foot. Remember that little click, click, click, click?

Yeah, okay. That's how old I am. Young people go, what is he talking about? Oh, don't even start. You'd start with a section on the lights. You don't go to section on the battery and then interpret the whole section on the lights in light of a few words in the battery section.

That's not how you do it. Of course, there might be some people who drive their cars that way, but it's ridiculous. But that's how we treat the Bible. And that's how Rome does it in regards to justification.

I'm gonna run over, I'm gonna talk about James chapter two. Okay, it's just one little section, but yeah, you've got the big section, but it doesn't matter. That's what we're gonna do. So I came up with that illustration.

I remember what the kitchen looked like in that. When I say cabin, we're talking luxury home here. So it's just this beautiful, beautiful place, massive mansion up in the woods in Prescott. So I remember coming up with that.

And I would think that all reformed people would agree with me that you go to the main and plain when you've got verse after verse, chapter after chapter, that's where you go. And that has to determine how you interpret everything else.

What's the longest section we have in the Bible in all of divine revelation? On the nature of the new covenant, the establishment of the new covenant, the relationship of the new covenant to the atoning work of Christ, the priesthood of Christ and his intercessory work.

Anybody wanna guess? It's Hebrews seven through 10. And so that has to take precedence over any kind of, well, you know, these aren't biblical phrases, but you know, we have this kind of covenant and that kind of covenant and this kind of thing.

And it's like, okay, that's all fine and dandy, but you start with scripture. So in other words, what you saw in that debate is I'm still a biblicist. I'm a biblicist on the Trinity. I'm a biblicist on the nature of God.

I'm a biblicist on justification, predestination of election, resurrection, hey, eschatology. And I'm a biblicist on baptism, the new covenant, intercession, atonement. Yep, I'm a biblicist. Always have been, always will be.

And you can try to make me feel guilty about that all you want, and it ain't gonna work. Because that's what we've been from the start. Alpha and Omega, I said last time, what did the dividing line mean when we came up with that for the title of both the radio program and the newsletter?

Back in the 80s, early 80s, well, mid 80s, okay. What did that mean? It meant that the dividing line is between those who believe that God has spoken and his word is sufficient and those who do not believe God has spoken and his word isn't sufficient.

And that can be Christian groups, that can be non-Christian groups, whatever, atheists, whatever, that's the dividing line. Always will be, always has been, and so there we are. So I was the biblicist in that conversation and shouldn't be anything surprising about that.

So I think, like I said, what I'd really like to do is I'd like to create a page with the 13 sermons I did at Apologia on Baptism, the debates with Greg Strawbridge, Bill Shishko on Baptism. There were two debates with Strawbridge, one was on radio and one was in person.

Was that 2015 or 2016? I think it was 2016, anyway. The late Greg Strawbridge, he's not with us anymore. I suppose we might throw in the Pano Communion debate just for color, and of course this debate with Jared would all be linked to there.

And once again, let me just mention something here. Joshua Hames, and I felt sorry for Josh. He had asked us to do this, and I found the time to do it at the end of my time in Denver, and I wanted to do a debate from in here just to see how it would work, and I think when we make some of the changes we're gonna make in the next few days, it'll speed up and may make more consistent utilization of where I'm sitting here right now and being able to put things together fairly quickly and use it more often.

But Joshua Hames had been a Baptist and converted to Pato Baptist, so that's why he wanted to do this. And so when he contacted me and asked me to do this, once again, with the Shishko debate, with both Strawbridge debates, with this debate, I was the one contacted by the Pato Baptist side to do the conversation.

And I keep emphasizing that only for the reason that I'm not chasing Presbyterians around demanding that they debate the subject, A, and B, haven't I said everything I need to say on this by now? I mean, I know it has to be discussed with every generation.

It really does. But I'm tired of it, personally. People are like, hey, I wanna debate you. And it's like, why? You think I'm gonna say something different? Do you think you've come up with something different?

If you've come up with something completely different, it's probably wacky. You just don't know it. For like 30 years now, Rich has been answering the phone for all the different ministries. He's heard all the wacky stuff.

I think what he needs to be thinking about doing is writing a book, the wacky things I hear on the phone. Because he's protected me from all that stuff. Even though social media, I get hit with a lot of the wacky stuff too.

But if you think you've come up with something new, do you really think you've come up with something that Bill Shishko, Orthodox Presbyterian church pastor, brilliant guy, bright guy, great debater. Greg Strawbridge, two different debates that we did with him on the subject.

Jared Longshore. I've been respiring to Doug's position for a long time. Jeff Neal, my dear friend, I wrote, we probably would need to add, yes, yes, yes, yes. We'd add as some of the written material for the baptism tab or thing.

The two part series I did, articles that I did in response to Jeff's article in one of the many infant baptism books on the nature of the new covenant, which is pretty much what we talked about on the program with Jared.

So what more do I need to say? I know all the arguments. The other side knows all the arguments. We joke, we semi-jokingly say, yeah, well, if we're all really post-millennialists, eventually we're all gonna agree on this.

And of course I say, yeah, eventually you guys are gonna give up your traditions. You're gonna recognize. And I did get to say this in the thing with Jared. I said, fact of the matter is the position that is being presented as covenantal, paedobaptism amongst reformed men today.

And I realize the topic would be completely different with the Lutheran, with most Anglicans, certainly with Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, completely different. At least in this situation, I'm able to press for consistency from my fellow reformed believer on what we believe about the atonement, particular redemption, the whole nine yards.

That makes a huge difference, massive difference. But I said, what's being presented today as reformed paedobaptist theology is a theological novum. It did not exist in church history until the 16th century.

Now you might wanna say, well, someone came up with it before Calvin, Bollinger. Until the 16th century, infant baptism, once it arose, it was not, not, not apostolic. I'm sorry, church history, not your friend there.

When it arose, it was emergency baptism due to disease, almost always. The inscriptions demonstrate that, the whole nine yards. But when it did arise, and then when it became predominant, it was for the forgiveness of original sin.

And it's not the covenantal paedobaptistic understanding. That's a theological novum, it's a new development. And I understand why that development took place. Despite what Stephen Wolfe says, the reformers were sacralists.

And one of their errors was in regards to the relationship of church and state. There was a mixture of spheres of sovereignty. There was in Calvin's Geneva. And there are a number of examples of it. Servetus was an example of a sacral error, a mixture of government authority and church authority.

And those aren't easy issues, but the point is that's where they were. And baptism had a function in establishing the citizenship of the state. And that's not an apostolic teaching about the nature of the covenant, it's just not.

That's how it is. So I believe that if they hadn't been in that historical situation, we'd be having a different conversation today. And so I got to make that reference, throw that out there toward the end of the program.

And so I think I've said pretty much everything I need to say about the subject. That doesn't mean that if someone in my church comes up to me and asks, I'm not gonna reiterate things and things like that.

But how many times can you say the same thing over and over and over and over and over again, as far as some young gun comes up and he wants his shot. Okay, so I really appreciated getting to do that with Jared, Jared's a wonderful guy.

And I should be very thankful for the guys in Moscow because they actually are willing to be seen in public with me and things like that. And fact of the matter is, there's a lot of Reformed Baptists that won't.

So there you go. Who's small C Catholic and who isn't? Is the question there. So yeah, I was very, very thankful for that. And I thank Joshua. And what I was saying about Joshua Haynes is, so he's a Paedo-Baptist.

He was the one that asked me to do this. So it's always been Paedo-Baptists who asked me to do this. I felt sorry for Joshua because I did not know. I just sent him an email and said, hey, is there a live link for this?

Because people were asking. Anytime I do a debate, people, is there gonna be a live link? Is there gonna be a live link? We try to put it out there. I did not know that he had never done his webcast live on YouTube.

So that's a lot to throw at somebody on short notice. And I felt sorry for him because there were some technical issues and Jared and I just sort of rolled with it. We just had fun with it. That's the thing about Jared and Doug and cross-politic guys.

He was having technical issues. So Jared and I just started shooting the breeze and talking about this, talking about that. If Chocolate Knox and I were doing something, that's what we would do. Gabe and I, Gabe came down to Apologia and debated one of our deacons.

Brilliant young man, we're so proud of at our church. He debated one of our deacons and Southwest Airlines lost his luggage. So he's in a T-shirt and all the rest of the stuff. Gabe's pretty much unflappable.

He just, he's like, hey, whatever, I'll just, I'll do my thing. That's how we are. And that says something about the relationship and about what we believe actually defines things, what's really important, what really matters.

So we just sort of covered over for when Joshua's having some issues and like, hey, let's keep talking. All right, this is cool. And so it went, I thought it went really well. The technical stuff really did not get in the way of the content at all.

So Joshua, don't even sweat any of that. I'm sorry we put that extra pressure on you to do it live. But a lot of people really enjoyed watching it live at that time too. So very much appreciate all that.

Now, one more thing before I go to the active and passive obedience of Christ. We are entering a time period in global history that we've been warned about. George Orwell saw it coming. He was just off on the years.

He was off by 40 years, but it's here in the UK. We're watching this. We watched it in Canada already. It's already happening in Australia, New Zealand, where the full force of government enforcement and everything else is thrown at the citizens of the country rather than foreign invaders.

If you dare complain about non-citizens who have invaded your country, raping and murdering, you'll end up in prison. This is what Orwell, Solzhenitsyn said that a mark of the communist worldview is to not punish criminals, but to punish the citizens who complain about the criminal's behavior.

And that's what we're seeing. We're seeing it here in the United States. People burn down cities, burn down Minneapolis, attack federal buildings. And what does the federal government do? They go after parents who complain about boys and girls' bathrooms at school meetings.

This is the playbook of Marxism, of leftism, and we are seeing it all around the world. But now what we're seeing, and I've said this, but now we are seeing this right in front of our eyes. You can't trust what's in front of your eyes anymore.

I was just seeing over the past 24 hours that, and at first I was like, nah, I've seen a lot of people retweeting it. And so there was a picture of Harris and Waltz, two anti-American Marxist enemies of the United States who will probably be in charge of the United States through, I believe, completely corrupted and stolen election.

I just don't, the deep state's not gonna let go. And so they're acting like they've already got it, and I think there's a reason why they are. Anyway, they're walking down the stairs of their jet aircraft, Air Force Two.

And when I first saw it, I scrolled right by it. I was like, nah, come on. And then I stopped, because a number of people were reposting it going, yeah, you know, there's something to this. Because you look at the reflection in the paint of the plane, and you can see the building where the, it's a terminal, they're at an airport, you can see the building, you can see Secret Service agents, but there's no crowd.

But then the picture you're looking at, there's a huge crowd of people all excited about Harris and Waltz, but they have no reflections. Now, there may be a spiritual explanation of that. I mean, they do have a demonic worldview, so maybe that's the explanation right there is there was just a crowd of demons with signs.

But then someone else posted another picture that had been put out by the campaign. And when you zoom into it, you see it's AI generated. Because, I don't know if you've seen this, but people, once it became popular, and I've never figured out how to do this, by the way, and I'm probably best, but you have these, you know, you ask AI to generate such and such and such and such.

And they end up with distorted faces and 10 fingers in crowds. They don't do well creating crowds of people. And you zoom in on these allegedly large crowds in a stadium, and it's AI generated. They're not real people.

They've got distorted. Either that or the zombie apocalypse has taken place. And it's primarily at Harris-Waltz campaign events. And I was talking to Rich today, and he was saying, yeah, they were in Phoenix.

And all the media was saying, oh, huge crowds, all the rest of this stuff. And then the actual pictures came out. And they had roped off all the upper levels. They had forced everybody into the bottom.

So it looked a whole lot bigger than it was. And so if you're using AI, and they've got the media, the media is nothing but the paid lackeys of the Marxists. There's no journalists left in mainstream media.

ABC, NBC, CNN, very few at Fox, sadly. There might be a few still hiding there someplace, but I think their lives are pretty tough. This is talk about utter manipulation of photography, video, all I notice.

Now, same time, I suppose this is somewhat similar, even though it's obvious it's not meant to be taken seriously. There have been some pretty hilarious things that have come out from the other side about Harris and Waltz talking to each other, or just Harris talking on her own or whatever, saying all sorts of wacky stuff.

Now, of course, she says all sorts of wacky stuff. That's why it makes sense, but it's parody. And it's using AI-generated voices. It's their voices. Just like I have an AI-generated voice of myself on Speechify, and it sounds like me.

So it's a new world. It's a new world. It truly, truly is. And more and more, I go, there are absolute fundamental principles in God's law that are not negotiable. And most evangelicals can't even start, can't even start to make an argument that we really need to apply these principles.

Because they're antinomians. They have an unbiblical view of God's law. They don't recognize that it reveals his holy character, and therefore it's gonna have abiding validity in all these specific areas.

So there's that. Okay, now, I actually saw this while driving. No, I was not looking at Twitter. It was posted to a thing that Alpha Omega has. So I glanced at it, and I saw it. A fellow by the name of Jesse Randolph, Pastor Jesse Randolph, preached a sermon.

And here's what he ended up posting on Twitter, and there's a link to the sermon as well. Now, before I do this, this is not a new conversation, especially not a new conversation relating to the Master's Seminary.

There was a conflict, what was it, 10, 15 years ago? Phil Johnson wrote an article about it. And if I recall correctly, Andy Snyder was dismissed over this, or left, or what, some place else, I don't know.

But there was a professor who denied the active and passive obedience of Christ, that that is a part of what is imputed to us as our standing before God. So this is a subject a lot of people don't know almost anything about, sadly.

So when they read Machen shortly before his death said, so thankful for the active and passive obedience of Christ, or I forget what the exact quote was, but they may not know what he was even making reference to.
