The Romans 9 Discussion
James White, , Exegesis
As I noted yesterday, we have had an unusually positive and excited response to yesterday’s DL, so I am posting only the portion of the program in which I worked through Romans 9 itself. The mp3 file runs just over 45 minutes. Here is the discussion. Feel free to share it with others if you wish.

Four Calls and then Overview of Issues in Church History
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Mormonism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line
We took four calls to start the show, and I was so verbose and long-winded that that took us 55 minutes. So much for brevity on my part! The calls were on federal headship and Romans 5, “not My will but Yours” in Luke 22 (esp. as it relates to Oneness theology), Bahnsen vs. Sproul debate, and using presuppositional apologetics

Humanzees, Jordan Peterson, Parallel Gospels, and Open Phones
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Spent most of the start of the show looking at a video from Jordan Peterson and interacting with the concepts of suffering and human purpose in his lectures. Dr. Peterson has been great in exposing the fundamental flaws and simple irrationality of many of the left’s pet projects today, and we can be very thankful for that, but we cannot

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

Pulpit & Pen, Sam Shamoun, TR Onlyism, Oh My!
James White, , CBGM, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism
Pull the pin, toss the grenade, here we go! I can’t even write out the weird confluence of issues and topics that somehow led to connections between P&P, Sam Shamoun, and TR Onlyism today—but we dove into it! 90 minutes worth with a lot of discussion of a wide variety of issues. Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream

An Important Quotation
James White, , Exegesis
“Every reading ever occurring in the New Testament textual tradition is stubbornly preserved, even if the result is nonsense…any reading ever occurring in the New Testament textual tradition, from the original reading onward, has been preserved in the tradition and needs only to be identified.” (Kurt and Barbara Aland, The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical

A Few Thoughts on the Crush of the World, Responses to Pullmann/Hess
James White, , Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line
Started with a few thoughts on the craziness of the world today and how difficult it is to remain focused with the rush of news, war, etc. Then I started responding to some more of the Pallmann/Hess review, trying to use both my Audio Notetaker program (which we have been fighting recently with sound issues) and Accordance. And though it

An Exegesis of 1 Timothy 4:10 “…who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.”
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , Exegesis
“For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.” (1 Tim 4:10). In 1 Timothy 4, Paul is exhorting Timothy that sound doctrine and persistent godliness should be the thrust of our life because of the hope of the
