Alpha and Omega Ministries

Dr. White covers three main topics before heading up to Colorado! Today features a response to Patrick Madrid on Galatians 5:4, a look at the Mormon doctrine of God, and the conclusion of the Confession of Cyril Lucaris.

Mainly spent our time looking at an excellent example of what Mormonism's doctrine of "god" brings them to when discussing election and sovereignty, and then we almost finished up the Confession of Cyril Lucaris, talking about faith, justification, and the sacraments.

Remembered to cover some comments made by young neoMorm Chandler Hendry on the topic of John 1:1. Then we got back to the Confession of Cyril Lucaris, part of our broader study of the Confession of Dositheos from 1672 in Eastern Orthodoxy.

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.
