Today on the AussieBrit Dividing Line!
01/31/2013 - James White
Was joined by our good friend and brother David Ould in studio today as he and his family drive across the good ol' USofA. Started off with some discussion of the Anglican Communion, the Church of England, and the Episcopalian Church. Then we turned to the MSNBC commentary thanking God for abortion, and this astonishing article, both of which illustrate the "I am the most important thing in the universe" mindset of modern Western people. A sobering discussion to be sure, and one that I hope you find useful. Here's the program.And don't forget the WayBack Machine, streaming Dividing Lines from 1998 onward 24/7!

Today on "Radio Free Salt Lake City"
01/29/2013 - James White
OK, we don't have a Radio Free Salt Lake City theme, or even a graphic...but if we did, this would have been the program to use them for! I had the misfortune of listening to the "dialogue" between Dr. Richard Mouw, long time president of Fuller Theological Seminary, and Dr. Robert Millet, BYU professor and author of the Eerdman's published book, A Different Jesus?, which took place recently at the Eerdman's bookstore. I was again amazed at the "massaging" of the message of Mormonism, and the either rank dishonesty, or possibly outlandish naïveté, of Richard Mouw in his defense of Mormonism and his redefinition of historical beliefs propounded by the General Authorities of the LDS Church. We have here the quintessential example of "ivory tower" academics completely missing the forest for the trees. I had to often comment that clearly Dr. Mouw has not spent time with LDS missionaries or plain old Mormons on the streets. He has, instead, spent way too much time with a narrow spectrum of BYU professors, to be sure. In any case, we spent about 100 minutes today on the topic, and we are only halfway through the material, so we will have to pick it up again on Tuesday. This Thursday we will be joined by David Ould and I intend to carve out enough time to respond to this particular commentary from an MSNBC anchor. Here's the program.For those interested in the Dividing Line reviews from the original speeches given at the evangelical visit to the Mormon Tabernacle back in 2004 you can find them here and here.
I also noted that I put a few items on the Ministry Resource List this morning as I look toward the upcoming book projects and debates during Spring, 2013. Here's the MRL.

Last Thursday on the Dividing Line -- and Other Stuff
01/29/2013 - James White
Sorry to have neglected to blog last Thursday's DL. At the start we mentioned the prayer offered at the Inauguration and its seeking God's blessing on homosexuality; then I updated folks on the fact that, so far, John Ankerberg has followed the Norman Geisler line: ignore the actual facts of the Caner scandal, in this case, by the ignoring of my open letter, posted last week. Then we started taking calls on such subjects as how to handle an opportunity to bear witness in conversation at a mosque; a call on the Caner debacle, and a few others. Here's the program.Today on the DL I will be analyzing and responding to the recent discussion of Mormonism held at the Eerdman's book store between Richard Mouw and Robert Millett. Hearing a noted "evangelical" leader functioning as a full-blown apologist for Mormonism is tremendously troubling. On Thursday David Ould will join us, Lord willing. After our conversation we will be responding to an MSNBC anchor's comments on the propriety of abortion.
Finally, I've added a few items to the Ministry Resource List, here. Your assistance is always appreciated!

The Stonewall Riots and President Obama on the Dividing Line
01/22/2013 - James White
I started off playing a portion of President Obama's inaugural comments, focusing upon his promotion of homosexuality and the profaning of the divine institution of marriage. We when took a call from Jane up in the northwest asking how we can "respect authority" when that authority stands inalterably opposed to God's ways. We took two other calls, one on an amazingly facile argument for abortion (I didn't show it a whole lot of kindness!) and then we pushed the clutch in as far as we could go, produced a fair amount of mental smoke, and shifted gears to the subject of Amyraldianism and the atonement for the last call! Here's the program.11:24:18 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
Today on the DL: TurretinFan Joins us to Respond to Scott Alt
01/17/2013 - James White
Today TurretinFan joined me as we spent the entire hour reviewing, and responding to, this article by Scott Alt on the topic of sola scriptura. Those who are particularly involved in defending the sufficiency of Scripture against Rome's constant attacks upon it may find the exchange useful.

Today on the Dividing Line
01/15/2013 - James White
Spent the first 3/4 of the program on current developments primarily related to the use of homosexuality as a cultural bludgeon to silence Christians---focusing on the Giglio debacle from last week, and the Steve Chalke abandonment of biblical morality and ethics as well. Then we spent the last 15 minutes on some comments made by Ergun and Emir Caner in 2003 on the John Ankerberg Show, wondering if the same kinds of comments will appear in the 2013 edition. Still wondering about that Hadith 2425, too....Here's the program.

Today on a MEGA 2 Hour Edition of the Dividing Line
01/10/2013 - James White
When you've been away for a while, topics add up! So, we went for a full two hours today. Started off with some shorter discussions of a recent Bart Ehrman insult tossed my direction (based upon lies by someone named M.L.), then visited the newly revived Caner Scandal as Ergun and Emir teamed up to appear on the John Ankerberg Show. Can't wait to watch these new episodes to compare them with the ones from 2003 and see how Ergun's story will have changed, despite, of course, his not having lied about anything at all! I did briefly note the withdrawal of Pastor Giglio from the Inauguration festivities as well. Then we spent the rest of the program reviewing William Lane Craig's comments relating to Islam and evangelism (taking one call on the meaning of "God is love" at the end). Here's the program.11:50:07 - Category: The Dividing Line - Link to this article -
On Monday's Radio Free Damascus
01/02/2013 - James White

We will return to a fairly regular schedule for the DL next week. Here's the program.And don't forget the WayBack Machine, streaming Dividing Lines from 1998 onward 24/7!
