1 John 3:1, the Pericope Adulterae, and More on Ecclesiastical Textism
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing LineI promise to move on to other issues on Thursday, but needed to address a few more issues on text topics and the whole “Ecclesiastical Text” movement. Looked at 1 John 3:1 and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) and again asked serious questions of the fundamental assertions of this movement. Here is the YouTube link:

Reformed Thomists?
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology MattersShould evangelicals really agree with about 88% of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa? Well, that is what was claimed in a recent article in the Master’s Seminary Journal, so today we tackled that subject, hopefully in a respectful and brotherly fashion. I had intended to get to the Hess/Pallmann pseudo-review, but will have to hold that off till the next program. I
The Calvinist Club, Sola Scriptura, Purgatory
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, TROnlyismWent almost two hours today but it’s an important program. Started off responding to William Samuel Bruce’s comments about me being a part of the “New Calvinism.” Then we moved into a response to James Fox Higgins on the subject of sola scriptura, its definition and defense (really important). Then following that theme we want back to this video featuring
Cornelius Van Til, Herman Bavinck, and Francis Schaeffer
Jeff Downs, , General ApologeticsSome might wonder how the above names fit together. Simple enough. These men and some of their views are addressed in the new editions of the Ordained Servant and New Horizons magazines (productions of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church).

And isn’t it even more amazing that the early church, long before the first gospel was written or the first epistle penned, knew the answer? And isn’t it just sad that most evangelicals don’t even believe what the Bible says about it anymore, and refuse

James White, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology MattersIn light of the airing tomorrow of an interview with James Simpson, author of “When Evangelicals Become Useful Idiots for Islamism” (American Thinker, 6/24/17) on the Janet Mefferd Show, we did a special program for those who will be looking for information in light of that interview. We went over the controversy and pointed out that Mr. Simpson’s article is

James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology MattersPastor Jason Robinson from West Virginia joined us on the program today to offer competing (and conflicting!) interpretations of this key soteriological text. 30 minutes of exegesis then 30 minutes of cross-ex, with ten minutes of closing statements. We developed connection issues during the cross-examination and had to go to the phone to finish things up. Jeff Durbin joined me
