Episode 450: A friend recently turned me on to the podcast “Blurry Creatures,” a podcast which started to talk about bigfoot but that has expanded its explorations into other paranormal creatures and activities. On episode 147, Dr. Laura Sanger joined the show to discuss the Hitler Project. Whether the Hitler Project is legit or not I will leave to you; in this episode I takedown Dr. Laura Sanger’s reading of the Genesis account, specifically 6.9 and 10.8. I show that while she can use a lexicon, her exegesis of the text leave much to be desired and are suspect at best.

Moses E. Lard on Romans 8.28-30
Episode 449: The quest for resources within the Restoration Movement which do justice to Romans 8.28-30 continues! This time I grab Moses E. Lard’s Commentary on Romans off the book shelf and take a look inside to see what he says. I interact with his exposition linguistically, lexically, theologically, and anthropologically. Tune in & nerd out with me.
The Perspicuity of Scripture & Meme Theology
Episode 448: I’ve seen a certain meme floating around social media and felt compelled to respond to it. Actually, Francis Turretin responded to it centuries ago. We dive into Turretin’s Institutes of Elenctic Theology (2.17) to evaluate the meme, bolster our understanding of the clarity and plainness of Scripture, and rightly think about the parts of Scripture which may be “obscure.” Then, just a brief word about translation and interpretation of difficult phrases.

Evaluating Brents on Ephesians 1.3ff
Episode 447: I continue to work my way through Bro. T. W. Brents book The Gospel Plan of Salvation, which would be better named Polemics Against Calvinism. In this episode, I look at Brents explanation (eisegesis!) of Ephesians 1.3ff and his pained attempt to force the personal pronouns “us” and “we” mean other than the immediate requires. It is a display of opposition “exegesis,” i.e., when you interpret Scripture in any other way than your opponent does.
