Does God Forgive the Unrepentant? – The Dubious Textual Variant, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing’
A few years back I posted an article explaining the weak textual evidence of Luke 23:34a, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This week is Good Friday and many sermons will be using this verse, so I think it is appropriate to bring...
Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity – One Point of Contrast
Qin Shi Huang (260 – 210 BC) is the most prominent of the Chinese emperors. He united China through conquest, began the Great Wall of China, and had the Terra Cotta warriors built. He’s significant to Confucianism – and especially the textual transmission of Confucius’ works – because toward...
Chris Pinto vs. James White – Debate Summarized
The Chris Pinto vs. James White debate on whether Codex Sinaiticus is a modern forgery can be boiled down to a few considerations. 1) Constantine Simonides claimed that he wrote the document based on collating pre-existing manuscripts, and that his uncle corrected the document. Both sides agree that he...
Homosexuality
Romans 1:32 Illustrated
συνευδοκέω is a Greek term that means “to agree with, give approval to.” It is found in the final verse of Romans 1 where Paul describes the final state of human sin, one in which mankind, knowing the just judgment of God against sin, not only still engaged in it,...
Beth Moore Open Letter on Homosexuality, Then A “Choice” Radio Free Geneva!
Before we fired up the RFG theme today I addressed the open letter that has been sent to Beth Moore about her views of homosexuality. I did so because it seems others (noted on the program) seem to be attempting to run interference for her so as to keep...
Living Out – A Follow-Up and Call to Further Action
Living Out – A Follow-Up and Call to Further Action On March 25, I began a series of articles that addressed concerns with the ministry of Living Out ( part 1, part 2, part 3 part 4). Over the course of four days, I revealed multiple resources at the...
Roman Catholicism
1 Corinthians 3 and Tim Staples on Today’s Dividing Line
Don’t hold your breath for the invitation for me to be on Catholic Answers Live to discuss, oh, “Does John 6 Teach the Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Eucharist,” (I’d do it in a heartbeat), but today we had Tim Staples on the program for 90 minutes to debate...
Art Sippo on 1 Corinthians 3 and Purgatory
I noted today another fascinating post from Art Sippo, the Catholic lay apologist (and writer of odd pulp fiction stories). Algo had posted a few quotes that demonstrate, as all rational historians recognize, that dogmas like purgatory developed over time, and hence, are not apostolic in origin. Sippo’s response...
Today on The Dividing Line: 1993 Sola Scriptura Debate Review Begins
We began listening to the 1993 San Diego debate on sola scriptura with Roman Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid today. We will continue this review over the course of the next few programs, with the exception of this Thursday when we will be examining the textual variant at Luke 23:34...
The Dividing Line
Another Potpourri of Topics, Including the Future of Mormonism
Covered a lot of topics including Don Lemon’s comments from 2013 (and how I said the exact same thing in 2016), as well as his “Jesus wasn’t perfect” comments from yesterday. Looked at a new X-Ray map of the universe, and finished up looking at the future of Mormonism.
Catching Up on the Revolution
Had a pile of articles to catch up with over the weekend since we did a Radio Free Geneva yesterday, including a BLM leader’s open promotion of black supremacy, Seattle’s anti-white rhetoric, and a Christian student kicked out of an allegedly Christian university for observing the obvious. Worldview issues...
Radio Free Geneva: The Choice Meats Analygesis of Leighton Flowers in John 10
Primarily focused upon comments made by Leighton Flowers on the 180 Cast with Georgi Boorman regarding John 10 and the “sheep” that are referenced therein. We did touch briefly upon Ephesians 1 as well, but the bulk of the time was spent on John 10. Enjoy!
Answering Questions from Friends
Did an hour and forty minutes today answering questions from two friends of mine—but you will find them to be useful questions! A great deal on the topics of how Christians are to respond to changing cultural situations and challenges, and then a solid hour or so on theodicy,...
Being Saved, Marxists Everywhere, Graeme Codrington vs. John Piper
Spent some time talking about 1 Corinthians 1:18 and what “being saved” means in like a KJVOist Nathan Rager’s NIV-tossing comments on the passage, discussed more about Marxism, and finished up looking at comments by Graeme Codrington on John Piper’s affirmation of God’s sovereignty over the CV-19 virus.
From Claire de Lune to Jonathan Merritt to Rome’s Dogmas About Mary
Went an hour and 45 minutes today because we “covered the waterfront.” Talked about how Twitter is saying the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel is a dangerous website (could be a technical glitch, could be purposeful), and then discussed how we can have confidence that God’s truth...
Live From Flagstaff: Defending Allie Stuckey’s Common Sense and More
Single hour program from a local church in Flagstaff, Arizona mainly looking at the phenomenon of how churches, seminaries, etc., move left over time, and why, prompted by the push-back against Allie Stuckey for her observation of the same reality.
On Shining Shoes in Penance
Had to address the Sam Cathy/LeCrae video as a paradigm of the Woke Gospel, as promised. Spent the entire hour on the topic, as it is the “issue of the day.” Remember that next week will be tough as I will be out of town with marginal internet access,...
Discussing Ken Wilson’s Work, Part 12 – On Psalm 51 and Concupiscence
Introduction Recently, Dr. James White has been interacting quite a bit with Dr. Ken Wilson’s book (and dissertation) regarding Augustine’s “conversion” to a predestinarian. As I have been reading much of Augustine’s work lately as well as other Church Fathers, I felt that I should enter this discussion with a layman’s perspective. Since Dr. Wilson’s...
Update/Addition to Bostock Decision Commentary, BLM’s Marxist Abuse of Language, Qur’anic Verbs
I forgot to address the presuppositional worldview issue relating to the Bostock decision on Tuesday, so I wanted to touch upon that, and then we transitioned into the play on words that BLM is using to promote Marxism under the guise of a sentence that actually only makes sense...
Fighting Injustice
What can you do as a Christian to fight injustice? What should you do as a Christian to fight injustice? Believers acknowledge that the only way to fix the injustices of our world is through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Moral reform, legal reform, or social reform cannot change...
Supreme Court, BLM, Thabiti, 2 Cor. 4:4
Started out with a discussion of the Supreme Court’s redefinition of “sex” from 1964 and the resultant degradation of morality and law in the United States. Then looked at the totalitarian movement of Black Lives Matter, and their promotion of transgenderism. Then we simply had to read through the...
A Program for Muslims on the Textual History of the Qur’an
I actually spent a few minutes at the start to acknowledge the ground-shaking “let’s make Obergefell look small time” absurdity that came forth from Neil Gorsuch and the Supreme Court this morning, but only to say that we would focus upon that tomorrow. The rest of the program (from...
Revelation 6, Mohler and the Leftists, James Gets Canceled Again, JK Rowling
Just an hour today but we crammed a lot in, including looking at a petition to get Albert Mohler fired for daring to say something negative about the Episcopalians (and for not repeating the necessary cultural mantras), Anthony Caputi is “done” with the Dividing Line, and JK Rowling takes...
All Lives Matter BECAUSE God is the Creator: Getting the Conversation Right
Well I imagine the woke folks will be lighting the torches and grabbing the pitchforks (if they can get out of the Autonomous Zone in Seattle anyway) but we just had to deal with the flood of cultural Marxism flowing into the veins of evangelical churches right now. Looked...
Discussing Ken Wilson’s Work, Part 11 – On Psalm 51 and Original Sin
Introduction Recently, Dr. James White has been interacting quite a bit with Dr. Ken Wilson’s book (and dissertation) regarding Augustine’s “conversion” to a predestinarian. As I have been reading much of Augustine’s work lately as well as other Church Fathers, I felt that I should enter this discussion with a layman’s perspective. Since Dr. Wilson’s...
Welcome to the NEW AOMin.Org
We would like to thank our excellent team of programmers and designers that helped bring this about. This new site encompasses the design vision that we have always wanted for aomin.org and we are rejoicing that it has finally come to fruition. We still have a great deal of...

The Mormon Law of Eternal Progression
I spoke on the topic of the “eternal law of progression” in Mormonism in Anchorage this morning. Here is the video.
The 1914 Chronology of Jehovah’s Witnesses
A. Establishing an Ancient Date 1. Fixed Dates 2. King List 3. Cuneiform Tablets 4. Correlation B. Astronomical Data 1. VAT 4956 – astronomical observations made during Nebuchadnezzar’ s 37th regnal year – 568/67 B. C. Hence, his first regnal year was spring 604 B. C., or, using Babylonian...
A Test for the Aaronic Priest
Are you an Aaronic priest? Possibly you are a Latter- day Saint who believes the priesthood was restored by Joseph Smith in 1829 and that you have been ordained as an Aaronic priest. Possibly you believe that Hebrews 5:4 applies to you: “And no man taketh this honor unto...

Living in Two Worlds, then, A Full Response to a Muslim “Revert”
Started off with a few minutes discussing the reality that a lot of us are facing: how do you have any sense of “normal” anymore when the future looks to troubled, so difficult? Why even bother talking about theology during a revolution? Well, because Christians have done that for...
