  • Unloving sickening behavior towards others

    I pray Andrew and his co-hosts repent of the way they treat others who disagree with them. Especially the brethren.

    This podcast and others like it are causing division in Christ’s Church.

  • You’re a stronger man than I Gunga Din!

    Listening to you and James talk to this smug dude with the effeminate voice was hilarious! How smug to say you aren’t allowed to assume anything while he can assume everything.

    Convenient! He inferred with his “pronouns” he believes that men can trans into women, and so on.. what a joke.. super sensitive, effeminate, worldling. He can assume and believe “historians” about other historical people, but not scripture. He sounded like such a fool, and James’ patience as well as Andrews was surreal... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Should I Focus on to Start Doing Apologetics.
Q: What advice do you have for getting into apologetics?
Focus on learning in small, incremental steps, develop hermeneutics and logic, know church history and Greek as tools, and cultivate a humble, ambassador-like approach rather than aiming to win debates.
Has the UK been Lost to Islam
Q: Can someone be an unregenerate believer?
The host explains that an unregenerate believer is not possible, and discusses the coexistence of regeneration and belief as a simultaneous act in reconciliation of divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
Has the UK been Lost to Islam
Q: When do Christians receive the Holy Spirit?
The host responds that Christians receive the Holy Spirit at regeneration; prior to regeneration there is no true free will, and belief is part of the process God uses in bringing about salvation.
Navigating Controversial Waters: Understanding the Debate Surrounding Baptism and Salvation
Q: Why do Presbyterians practice infant baptism, and is it a sign of the covenant rather than regeneration?
The guest explains covenant theology in Presbyterian thought, contrasting with Baptist views that infant baptism is not regenerative and believers' baptism follows genuine faith.
The Nature of the Sabbath: A Theological Discourse on Rest and Worship
Q: Do you think Unitarians or Jehovah's Witnesses who say the Holy Spirit is not God or is not a person are committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit from Luke 12:10?
The host explains that, across Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is tied to attributing the works of God to Satan, and that today no one can commit that exact blasphemy since God walked among humanity in Jesus; while there can be denial or mischaracterization, it is not straightforward to label contemporary denials as that specific sin.
