Followup: Steve Ray’s ‘World Premier’
James Swan, , Roman Catholicism
After this past Thursday’s Dividing Line, I’ve been looking around for any type of response from Steve Ray or his supporters. One person on Ray’s discussion board at the “world premier” quipped, “There was also some guy named J. White on the guest list, but he never showed.” Well, at least this may indicate some of his Ray’s supporters at

Roman Meme Theology, Data Mining the Bible and Qur’an, Wael Ibrahim, and a Live Viewing of Kent Hovind
James White, , General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized
Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video

A Wide Ranging Mega-Sized Edition of the Dividing Line
James White, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Started off with a discussion of President Obama’s recent actions promoting ungodliness in the land, then discussed the recent WHO guidelines demonstrating that homosexuality is unnatural and devastating to human flourishing. Discussed briefly the upcoming preaching by Ergun Caner at First Baptist Woodstock, and gave some guidelines to anyone who will be attending. Then we moved on to talk about

Did the Acts 15 “Council” Rely on the Exegesis of Scripture?
TurretinFan, , Roman Catholicism
Jason Stewart (whose apostasy was recently discussed), has posted a fictitious (and apparently also intended as facetious) dialog under the title, “Taking a Stand on the Scriptures Against the Traditions of Men.” The title is mocking, of course. Stewart posits a hypothetical dialog between two Judaizers in the mid-first century. Stewart’s attempt flops for a number of significant reasons, which

Open Lines
James White, , Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Jehovah’s Witness and the oncoming information age. Jehovah’s Witnesses Trinity claims refuted in “What Really Happened at Nicaea?” on CRI Journal.http://www.equip.org/article/what-really-happened-at-nicea/ Refuting a Catholic on IRC stating that anyone baptized in trinitarian baptism formula is saved. Spoke of Keith Green’s influence and passing away on July 28th 1982. Conversation with a caller from Harrisburg Pennsylvania (James’ hometown) discussing why didn’t

Assumptions and Shallow Arguments: Steve Ray and the Poor State of Catholic Apologetics (#3)
James White, , Roman Catholicism
I continue my examination and refutation of Steve Ray’s attempt to defend Rome’s dogmatic teaching of the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven, and her doctrinal teaching of the queenly coronation of Mary. In our first installment we pointed out that since the Assumption is a dogmatic teaching, the highest standard of evidence is required to defend it, and we

Dr. Downer Does Reformation Day, and Lots More
James White, , Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Federal Vision, Homosexuality, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Started off with the truth about 10/31/1517 (nobody at the time had any idea anything important had happened), which earned me the name “Dr. Downer” from Jeff Durbin last night at church. Then we talked about the recent Synod in Rome and the truly massive implications this has for Roman claims of authority, etc. Then we addressed this article from

A Few Opening Thoughts then Open Phones
Rich Pierce, , CBGM, Church History, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Pretty much open phones today with good questions like “Did Augustine really have the gospel?” and “How central is the issue of credobaptism vs. infant baptism?” Last US DL for a few weeks as I will be overseas, but we do intend to sneak a few programs in (probably in the mornings here in the US) as time permits.
