DR. KEN JOHNSON: GNOSTICISM, CALVINISM, AND ROMAN CATHOLICISM

Talking The Walk

IT’S NOT likely that Calvinists and Roman Catholics would agree on much except maybe the claim that they both originate with Gnostic ideas that found their way into the Church.

Dr. Ken Johnson, author of 18 books, discusses two of his works that are likely to step on some toes: The Gnostic Origins of Calvinism and The Gnostic Origins of Roman Catholicism. He also talks about the beliefs of the ancient Gnostics, the response of the early church to their teachings, and the most insidious false teachings facing the church today.

Also: Gary Stearman resigns from Prophecy in the News, and a transhumanist call to regulate and restrict “human breeding”.

DID CONSTANTINE STEAL CHRISTIANITY?

Talking The Walk

ARE MODERN-DAY Christians celebrating a faith that was reinvented by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great?

Our format tonight is different. We welcome two special guests: Dr. Russ “Pappy” Houck, author of Epidemic: Examining the Infected Roots of Judaism and Christianity, and Cris Putnam, publisher of the website Logos Apologia and co-author of Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here and Exo Vaticana: Petrus Romanus, Project LUCIFER, and the Vatican’s Astonishing Plan for the Arrival of an Alien Savior.

Houck contends that Constantine, among other things, changed God’s Sabbath and established the doctrine of Trinitarianism, adding the word “Christ” to the Greek New Testament hundreds of times and “altering Matthew 28:19 to conform to the heretical Trinity doctrine” (Epidemic, p. 220). Putnam defends the doctrine of the Trinity as predating Constantine by hundreds of years. The discussion is in a format derived from academic debate and runs roughly an hour and twenty minutes.

For the record, I accept and believe in the Trinity based on my understanding of scripture and history, but I did my best to limit my participation to moderating and keeping time to give Russ and Cris a level field on which to build their arguments.
