Lots of Calls on the Dividing Line Today
01/31/2006 - James White
The phones kept me busy all day today on the DL. I did play the Daniel C. Peterson "any time, anywhere" clip again at the beginning, just for the fun of it, but other than that, we took lots of calls on a wide variety of subjects. Here's the program.16:08:49 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Today on the Dividing Line
01/26/2006 - James White
Single topic on the DL today...finally got to the Bart Ehrman Issues Etc. interview, starting at the beginning. Got it almost completely covered during the program today. Here it is.19:52:29 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Today on the Dividing Line
01/24/2006 - James White
Today we began with the promised clip from Anthony Buzzard. When I asked for folks to respond, lo and behold our old friend Sam Shamoun called in, having heard this clip in its original context, and having written on the topic as well. Then we took calls on a wide variety of apologetic topics all the way to the end of the hour, which came pretty quickly!

DL Time Change Today
01/24/2006 - James White
Today's DL will air at the normal Thursday time, that is, 4pm MST, 6pm EST, 3pm PST, and at 4:23:15 in Fargo.I will be playing a clip from Anthony Buzzard where he provides his listeners with a "simple and effective" means of demonstrating that Jesus was not divine. Will you be prepared to point out his rather simple error? Be listening!

Today on the Dividing Line
01/19/2006 - James White
A bit of an odd DL today. I needed to use the first ten minutes or so to respond to some questions I had received about some comments I made on Isaiah 44:24 here. A JW apologist cited my comments, so I needed to provide a response.After that I very quickly read the 14th chapter of Catholic Answers' new book on the "brothers of the Lord." As I noted earlier, I just can't understand how CA can continue to put out material that was dated in the late 1980s and has been refuted repeatedly since then as if none of us out here have been paying attention. Then, to provide a contrast, I played my opening statement on the same subject from my debate against Gerry Matatics in Salt Lake City a few years ago. Here's the program.

Today on the DL
01/17/2006 - James White
Today on the DL I launched into Bart Ehrman's statement that if the Bible had truly been inspired, there would be no textual variants in manuscripts. Then we handled a few questions on...various subjects, then listened to a little John Shelby Spong. Here's the program.By the way, who is this guy at the end of this promo clip? Odd looking fellow....
Oh, Scott Klusendorff was supposed to be on BAM today, but like all of us who seal ourselves in pressurized metalic cylinders miles above the earth's surface, he got sick, so Greg Koukl stepped in. Man I would love to see these guys get a chance to take on the leading pro-abortionists on Larry King or something. Scott and Greg rock! If you haven't availed yourself of their fine resources, here and here.

Sorry, No Program Today
01/12/2006 - James White
Sorry, we were unable to connect to the Real Audio server today. Don't know if the server is down, or if our utterly unreliable ISP is to blame (yes, we are changing ISPs when we move the office), but I was not in the frame of mind, after losing a good bit of sleep after surprising and scaring away a group of criminals who were trying to steal my wife's car at 1:30am (and the resultant waiting for the police, losing time today getting the window they smashed out repaired, etc.) to do a "deadcast" (i.e., one that is simply recorded with no live interaction). With a bunch of moving issues this weekend, we really can't think about rescheduling tomorrow or Monday, hence, Tuesday will be the next opportunity. I was all set up to review Bart Ehrman's "if it was inspired it would not have textual variants" viewpoint (i.e., God could not give us any divine revelation until the computer age), but we will just have to wait till Tuesday for that excursion into the wild and wacky world of naturalistic materialism.Please remember to pray for us over the course of the next months. Not only am I up to my eyeballs in written projects, debates, and the like, but the move to our new offices will be a real challenge, time wise, financially, etc. I just picked up a single box of cable for setting up our little internal network and just about fainted when the cashier rang it up! Your support is greatly appreciated.

Today on the DL
01/10/2006 - James White
Today I replied to a series of e-mails sent to me regarding the response to Ehrman, took two calls, one on presuppositional apologetics, and then spent a little time on Deedat and John 20:28. Here's the program.13:29:42 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Today on the Dividing Line
01/05/2006 - James White
Sorry I had all my times messed upon on the program today. Not sure how I managed that (though I have a theory as to how Adobe Audition might have thrown me a curve), but in any case, we continued responding to Ehrman on textual critical issues, looking this time at the very, very minor variant found in a very limited number of witnesses (most notably D, which is notorious for its--eccentricities) at Mark 1:41 and whether Jesus was "angry" with the leper or had compassion on him, and how you can, by major spin, make it look like such things are major impediments to biblical authority. Then we took a call on the tests of a prophet, then back to Deedat very briefly, where I once again asked if any Muslims could tell me who had been honest enough back in the 80s and 90s to oppose Deedat's horrific abuse of truth. Didn't get any calls on that, but sure hope I will hear tomorrow from folks pointing me to those Islamic apologists and scholars who did the right thing back then. We will see.

On Tuesday's Dividing Line...
01/03/2006 - James White
Started off reading parts of this article, commented on the King of the Blogosphere, centuri0n, giving me a Wooden Nickel Award for being the Meanest Calvinist on the Net, then continued working on the Ehrman NPR materials and more of Ahmed Deedat, this time from his debate with Shorrosh. One call included questions on dichotomy vs. trichotomy and who should sing in the church choir! Here's the program.16:28:57 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
