Alpha and Omega Ministries is a Christian apologetics organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. James White, director, is a professor, having taught Greek, Systematic Theology, and various topics in the field of apologetics for numerous schools.
Sort of took a walkabout the first part of the program, discussing Australia and…various things. Then we took a call from Harrisburg on exegesis, then, after the break, Michael, a Roman Catholic from California, called, and we spent the rest of the show discussing prayer to Mary and related subjects.
While in Australia Phil Johnson and I did what you are supposed to do when in another country: act like the natives. So, we watched the Ashes. I actually knew about the Ashes from my visits to the UK (where, back in 2005, England had finally won them back, only to lose them in 2007). My separated-at-birth brother Roger Brazier
You wonder, at times, how it is that those who listen regularly to Roman Catholic apologists do not notice the wide range of differences between them on important matters of theology and practice. Don’t they cringe just a little when they hear the “sola scriptura is a blueprint for anarchy” silliness knowing that they are using a double standard? We
I completed my assignments at the Glory of the Atonement Conference at Grace Bible Church last evening. I had a wonderful time with the brethren here in Brisbane, despite my weakened voice (evidently, there are some things blooming here that my sinuses have never encountered before!). I am excited that we have already begun discussions about coming back, currently looking
I just got a note from Arthur over at Renaissance Art. They have begun making 1/4 custom leather covers, and since they just introduced them on their website, they are having a 20% off sale. I know many of you have purchased covers from Renaissance Art, and found them to be a great value—gorgeous leather, expert craftsmanship. Go here to
Settling in now that I’ve arrived in Brisbane. Conference starts tomorrow, and I have some work to do between now and then, so I will have to make this brief. Had a great day in Sydney yesterday. Hopefully when I get back I’ll be able to carve out some time before my next event to sit down and really thank

Just a quick note from Sydney via my BlackBerry. The debate was very well attended. A clear witness of the gospel was given. Thanks to all who prayed for this event. I’m currently loading the video from my little camera onto my Mac, and hope to post it on YouTube tomorrow evening (Tuesday morning US time). Still much work to
I would generally never schedule an event the same day as a trans-Pacific flight, but this time around I was to speak on “Why Otherwise Sane People Say They Actually Know Jesus” at St. John’s Ashfield Anglican Church twelve hours after landing. Though I was feeling “OK,” those who have traveled large distances know how you often feel “just half
It is a beautiful 77 degrees here in Sydney right now, but where did Saturday go? Oh well, I’ll get it back a week from Tuesday I suppose. In just a few hours I will be speaking on why sane people still believe in Jesus, which, given the secularism of Australia, seems an appropriate topic. I have gotten enough sleep,
Lot’s of callers and important in-studio guests on this Thursday edition of the Dividing Line. You can also subscribe to the podcast using iTunes with this link. Please keep in mind that Dr. White is now traveling in Australia, his itinerary for the first portion can be found here. Pray for his ministry ‘down under’, that God will strengthen him
I could never be a Roman Catholic apologist. It is just not in me to know that my arguments have been shredded repeatedly and yet to continue on repeating them, relying the whole time on the bare hope that the people I’m talking to just don’t care enough to look closely enough to know I’m selling them used and expired
No, I have no intentions of trying to find a boomerang to bring back, though my daughter has requested I bring her something “cool.” Unfortunately, her definition of cool, and mine, are…oh, about one generation apart. But I’ll give it a shot. In any case, I have my presentations put together, a pile of power adapters on my desk, and
Today we started off talking about how Catholic Answers needs a staff of seventeen people to run their website security (eh?) so they need more donations, too! Sorry, something sounds a bit fishy. Then the phone calls started. The first was on the issue of eternal sonship vs. incarnational sonship, the second on the LDS concept of the Great Apostasy,
A while back a fellow showed up in our chat channel using the nick BibleJohn. From the beginning I felt he was a troll, that is, someone “trolling” to create controversy, someone not being honest with us about who he was or what he was up to. It seemed to me that his behavior and language was so caricatured that
James Swan noted a fascinating discussion on Robert Sungenis’ website. He was asked about a series of lectures, and Sungenis’ reply was: R. Sungenis: John, if they advertise in America, NCR, Commonweal, First Things, etc., then it’s the same old liberal, progressive approach to theology that has basically sucked the faith out of the Catholic Church today. It is the
Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of Dallas Seminary and the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts joined me for the entire hour on the program today. We covered a tremendous range of topics, from the Ankerberg Show to Dan’s Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, to Bart Ehrman, textual variants, etc. You really need to keep CSNTM
I suppose the really positive thing about the 15 hours on a jet on the way to Sydney is…it will be an Airbus 380, the new jumboliner with two full decks on it. At least I’ll have someplace to walk! I wonder if you can do sprints up and down the stairs? In any case, I will be getting to
Sorry that the audio turned out low. Not sure why it varied this way, but still quite usable.
A wide ranging program for your listening enjoyment and edification today, to be sure. Started off with Tim Staples on purgatory and idulgences; went on to some Gail Riplinger zaniness; took a call on 1 Timothy 2:1-7; finished up going a few minutes over to cover claims made by Shabir Ally in a debate in South Africa recently.
I am very excited to announce that Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, Professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary, and the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM), will be my guest on The Dividing Line this coming Thursday evening. Dr. Wallace’s work in Greek grammar is well known, as he is the author
You may recall that last month I did two programs with Justin Brierley on his “Unbelievable” radio program in London. I debated Roger and Faith Forster on the doctrines of grace and on the existence of eternal punishment. The first of those programs aired last weekend, which means I assume the program on eternal punishment will air this weekend in
A couple of months ago I was directed to a website promoting an anti-Trinitarian book by an apostate. I did not spend much time on it for the simple reason that the apostate is playing games, calling himself “Servetus the Evangelical,” and even running a contest as to who can “guess” his identity before he “comes out” in September of
I had such a great time at the Discern 08 Conference last year at Calvary Santa Fe, so I am really looking forward to being back! This year I will be joined by Dr. Bruce Ware and Dr. Ron Rhodes. My topics are great: the Reformation, Islam, and the Forgotten Trinity! You can register here. I look forward to seeing
From Sam Gipp’s site (ht DC): First, James White, the famous Bible-hater, put a video on claiming it was the segment of the John Ancherberg Show where Don Wilkins, of the NASV, lost his voice. It wasn’t. It was a different occurrence. The one where Wilkins lost his voice was erased on Ancherberg’s orders. First I did a brief YouTube
Today at 3pm EDT Mr. Camping will be taking calls on Iron Sharpens Iron. We have offered Chris Arnzen our system and phone lines so that Mr. Camping can hear the callers (WNYG’s technical equipment leaves a good bit to be desired). I have decided to fire up the DL feed again as well, however, what I will do in
