You're going to do. Well, greetings, welcome to the Divine Line folks. We are continuing a study we started in

last program. We'll get to that in listening to Carl Truman's presentation on classical theology, but just

so many things sort of piling up here.

Let me just begin brief comments on a couple of topics.

You know, when there were theological controversies in the past up until you know the late

last century they would always take place over a fairly lengthy period of time.

Without telegraphs and electronic communication, the vast majority graphs and

the vast majority of theological controversies

had to be hashed out in in print and it would take time to print things, take time to write things,

take time to distribute the printed material.

And you know, there's positives and negatives.

Mormonism got a good start before almost anybody could put together a whole lot of decent documentation.

I mean, E.D. Howe did something early on, but again, distribution of that type of material.

It can allow cults and isms to get going. But cults and isms can get going a whole lot faster today thanks to the internet and things like that.

And so things like the Alistair Begg issue in the past, no one, you know, in this situation, if you've been following it,

he gave advice and he knew it was controversial. He said in his response people are going to be

upset about this answer. So he knew. But he gave advice to a grandmother that a grandchild entering

into a transgender wedding, whatever, who even knows that means I mean it's it is it is

sinful rebellion to the max that he specifically asked her, does your grandchild know that you do not countenance this

marriage you do not approve of what's going on here because he has

preached sermons on the sinfulness of homosexuality and same-sex mirage and things like that.

I don't think you'd ever use that terminology.
