TikTok Lady Theologian Refuted, Comments on Dr. MacArthur and Losing Down Here

James White, January 27, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a thorough review of a United Methodist woman’s claims about the Bible and homosexuality, working through key texts. Then listened to what Dr. MacArthur said about postmillenialism and “losing down here,” and offered a response. Hope we get to do another program, but must admit, we said more than enough on this one program to have us removed in

A Biblical Case for Civil Disobedience & the Right Use of Romans 13

James White, January 27, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Uncategorized

The following is a combined text of five articles by Tim Cantrell, originally published as separate blog articles, on the topic of Romans 13, etc. I made reference to this series today on the Dividing Line. This is an excellent study to go along with my comments on the program today. Clearly, Tim is ministering outside the US context, as

Our First Studio Dividing Line: Romans 13, 1 Peter 2, and More

James White, January 26, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Pulled the trigger on our new studio today and it went pretty well! Glad to have a few folks here to help us get through the first run without too many hiccups. I was able to use our Flip board and work through the text of the two key passages, make some application, and then move on to a discussion

The Day After

James White, January 21, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Talked a lot about some of the amazing statements being made after the installation of the new regime in Washington. Looked at statements from Lecrae, Charlie Dates, and Anthony Bradley as well, especially as the latter two attacked Virgil Walker. Also looked at Russell Moore’s article on how to pray on inauguration day. Had to record and upload as the

Where Do We Go From Here? Staying Faithful in the Future

James White, January 19, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

As we watch with amazement the rapid transformation of Western culture in our day the question is: how do we remain faithful? I truly shared my heart today as I looked at an article about how the Chinese Communist Party “re-educates” Uighur Muslims and used it as a basis for laying out some basics for all of us at this

Challenges for the Global Church

James White, January 12, 2021, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Heavy topics after a weekend of heavy developments in the move toward global socialism. Discussed this invaluable insight, posted by Doug Wilson, from Theodore Dalrympe, and how it fits with everything else we’ve been trying to communicate of late: Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose

A Requiem for a Republic, Be Faithful Unto Death

James White, January 7, 2021, Christian Worldview, Musings, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I had intended to read through the entirety of John Adams’ statement from 1798 regarding the Constitution yesterday, but events made it wiser to wait till today. We read through Adams and basically, for an hour, discussed the true foundational issues driving the cultural revolution that is destroying the West and leading us into a global socialist disaster. We expose

Grogu Watches the Dividing Line

James White, January 5, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Got your attention, didn’t it? Well, I did start off introducing Grogu, one of my Christmas presents, but that’s just my way of saying we covered so many topics today I could not come up with a title that would do them justice. So we did a lot of Christian worldview analysis (am I using that phrase correctly?) today looking

Response to Rick Warren on the Nature of the Church and More

James White, December 30, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a little cancel culture expose, then looked at this ultra-creepy, “Let’s out-Orwell Orwell” UK website encouraging folks to mind-read their family, friends and neighbors and snitch on them to “highly trained Prevent officers.” Talk about repulsive. Then we moved on to Rick Warren’s amazing statements about the church’s “weakness” of only having “worship.” Warren’s ecclesiology has been

Isaiah 9:6, Variant in the LXX

James White, December 29, 2020, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a little Christmas story relating to my new sweater (wait till you see it!), then a little discussion of the speed at which the world has changed in 2020, then finishing up with a discussion of the textual variant found in the Greek Septuagint at Isaiah 9:6.

A Bunch of Woke Stuff, then Underappreciated Incarnational Texts

James White, December 22, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a few miscellaneous developments, such as Hungary’s stand on the family, and then moved to texts that teach incarnational truths but that normally get glossed over, from Mark and from John 6. I had intended to address a particular KJV Only argument, and to respond to some Roman Catholic claims, but simply spaced both as time was short! But,

Catching Up on Events

James White, December 15, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We covered the waterfront today to be sure, looking at all sorts of topics from Twitter and other sources, statements from seminary professors, people promoting the woke church, you name it. 90 minutes of Christian worldview application, starting off with a little jingle from John Cooper about “Woke Christmas.”

Approaching the Subject of Baptism Fairly, Group of Current Events

James White, November 30, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Exegesis, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a short discussion of how I will be approaching the series on baptism I have begun preaching at Apologia Church, then moved into a whole series of recent events that I’ve been collecting that all point to the impact of the secular worldview and the rejection of the Christian view of man in the ongoing push for

Lewis’ “Prophecies,” Cosmic Reconciliation, the Beauty of Creation

James White, November 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Jumbo edition today at ninety minutes covering some of the thoughts of C.S. Lewis on the coming technocracy, then finally getting back to Colossians 1 and “reconciliation” related to the atonement debate between Matt Slick and Sam Shamoun, and finishing up with a discussion of the beauty and order of God’s creation.

German Police And More

James White, November 19, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played the video of German police breaking into a live streaming session of an anti-lockdown advocate at the start of the program. It is truly getting real. Talked about the Austrian attempt to enforce its secular “European values” in respect to “political Islam” as well. Covered a bunch of relevant topics, but, also was joined by Josh and Daren from

Potpourri of Topics

James White, November 17, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

That’s a great word, isn’t it? Potpourri. Really did meander a bit, though a lot of the topics (changing language, for example, new shutdowns by leftist governors, the coming national lockdown 1/21/21) sort of coalesced together in the end.

Who We are Subject To, and a Response to Jimmy Akin on Pope Francis

James White, November 16, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first half hour discussing how Jesus, as King, subdues us unto Himself, and what practical meaning that will have in the coming months and years when Caesar demands our submission to him in opposition of Christ. Then I responded to a statement from Jimmy Akin on the topic of debates and specifically why I believe today’s Roman Catholic

Big Brother Watch, Lessons from Acts 12

James White, November 12, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today is my granddaughter Janny’s 5th birthday! Yay! Has nothing to do with the show but that’s OK. Went through news stories on such topics as Norway criminalizing private comments that would be “offensive” about transgenderism and the like, and then closed up with a run through of Acts 12 and the myth of neutrality.

Where We Stand: How Church History Can Help, But Only So Far

James White, November 7, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism

I have seen many speaking about how generations in the past have encountered and endured persecution, and this is a vitally important truth that we should be speaking of regularly. We should speak to our children, regularly, about the persecuted church, and how we could be called to face the very same kind of physical persecution, suppression, and attacks that

Make Pastors Uncool Again

James White, November 6, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Pastors shouldn’t be rock stars. Yeah I said it. A rock star promotes himself, builds his

Post Election Rambling for Christians

James White, November 4, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Outside of saying we did talk specifically about the Equality Act and how it will fundamentally do away with the first Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, we sort of just pondered what looks like, at the moment, the possible outcome of the messed-up, in some places, very corrupt, election, especially as this impacts believers and the work

Pre-Election Day DL with Psalm 33 and JD Greear

James White, November 2, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Jumped all over the place today, to be honest, on a number of topics. One was my insistence that you need to buy and actually read, or listen to, Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. I can’t recommend it too highly, even though it is not a Christian work, and hence cannot provide the final answers.

I Voted—Why? And More, Then Back to Reconciliation in Colossians and Ephesians

James White, October 29, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a number of issues relating to the ongoing social revolution around the globe, including police threatening to break into homes to check for “improper” Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations (and people not wearing their masks 24/7), then discussed my vote, why I voted as I did, and that I truly believe my vote was a vote to be able to

The Pope, the Red Pill, the Muslims, and John Piper

James White, October 22, 2020, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Pope Francis certainly gave us plenty to talk about and so we did, but connecting the current controversy to a wider reality about his beliefs. We then looked at Tim Staples trying to deal with the Roman Catholic view of Islam as found in Lumen Gentium 16, so if you are dealing with Roman Catholicism, this show should be helpful.

Responding to Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live on Sola Scriptura

James White, October 20, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If you are active in reaching out to our Roman Catholic friends and family members, this is an important program for you. We spent most of our time going deeply into a clip from CA Live on “tradition” in the Bible. Then we played a brief clip from the British Parliament on critical race theory that was real encouraging, and

Lots of Topics to Finish the Week!

James White, October 16, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Zoomed through a ton of stuff on Covid-19, attacks on religious liberty, the big tech censorship at the start of the program. Reviewed Michael F. Bird’s article, then worked through Dr. Edmondson’s CT article as well, and finished up with a full refutation of Chris Thomas’ false accusation that I reject the first section of the LBCF. An hour and

The War on Language: Part 1

James White, October 12, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started a series of responses to the influx of “woke ideology,” today looking at the need for defining language clearly by listening to some comments from Dr. Tim Keller. Then we moved onto the controversy that erupted last week over comments from Jeff Durbin regarding woke theology at the conference in Franklin.

A Little Covid Madness at the Start, then the Hyper Skepticism of the TR Only Movement in Light of Mark 1:1

James White, October 6, 2020, Atheism, CBGM, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Read the Great Barrington Declaration and talked a little bit about my hopes that common sense will finally overthrow the tyranny that has entrapped most of the globe, and then completely changed directions and launched into a discussion of the wealth and value of the Greek manuscript tradition in light of the hyper skepticism expressed by Jeffrey Riddle during our

Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden? The Real Issue with TR Onlyism

James White, October 5, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Two topics on today’s 70 minute program: first, we look at the statement from a group called Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden, and demonstrate that the influence of neo-Marxism upon the Woke Church is truly profound. Then I did a lengthy review of the debate we did this weekend with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on the Critical Text vs. TR Only positions

Nope, That Was Not a Debate

James White, October 1, 2020, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

For the first ten minutes I was “Twitter distracted” and talked about “dead air nightmares” from my youth. I guess you could say the first hour was loosely connected to the Presidential Food Fight from Tuesday night, while the last 20 minutes was on the actual debates that will take place Friday and Saturday between myself and Dr. Riddle. But

Psalm 82, the Judge of All the Earth

James White, September 28, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Started with brief comments on last week and my little adventure at high altitude on Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, and then moved into Psalm 82, looking at its message as the foundation for considering the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We then made application regarding the current controversy over the Supreme Court, and then talked about events in Moscow,
