Jimmy Akin Debate Report

James White, April 26, 2024, Debate, DL Shorts, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Did a “DL Short” today (45 minutes) due to my not being in a location with sufficient net connection to do a live program. I still have three days of speaking here in Louisiana, then a quick run by Pryor next week before the long trip home. Wanted to review the debates over the last two evenings, and also make

Road Trip DL: Tucker Carlson, Doug Wilson, and Pope Francis

James White, April 19, 2024, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Sounds like the beginning of a lame joke, doesn’t it? But, it was actually two topics, first, my responses to the Tucker Carlson/Doug Wilson program. Then, we looked at Pope Francis’ idea that homosexual men are working out “love.” The program started fine, then, our internet connection died (yes, we are working on improving that situation, but can’t do it

A Sorta Radio Free Geneva from the New Rig

James White, April 11, 2024, Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I really had not expected to get into this as deeply as we did, and this should have been a Radio Free Geneva, but be that as it may…we looked at the new film against “Once Saved, Always Saved,” listened to the opening section, talked about the necessary background issues, and then looked at the film’s vain attempt to get

A Test DL of the New Rig

James White, April 9, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Well, I suppose the nice thing is the problem we had was net related, not related to our new set up. The equipment we have installed and set up in the new RV worked fine, but the net kept dropping out on us. I will have to set up Starlink as a back up for Thursday. Anyway, we talked a

In Memory of Pastor Dennis, Open Lines

James White, April 4, 2024, Open Phones, The Dividing Line

Started off giving thanks for the life of Pastor Dennis Pillay in Durban, South Africa, a dear brother who passed into glory last week. Then we went to Zoom calls and covered topics such as the Descent of Christ, Catholic Answers, Christian YouTubers, the Lord’s Supper, philosophy and extra biblical language, and equal ultimacy. In-depth questions! We have an amazing

Jimmy Akin Debates Upcoming, then Open Phones

James White, April 2, 2024, Debate, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Spent a few minutes at the start predicting where the debates in a few weeks will go in Louisiana, then we started taking calls mainly on the topic of the five debates we did last month, hence discussions on the unitarianism debate, then moving on to the Flowers and Breda debates. Not sure when we will be doing another program,

The Descent of Christ and Confessional Subscription

Chris Whisonant, March 29, 2024, Church History, Reformed Baptist Issues

In 2022, Dr. Sam Renihan wrote “Crux, Mors, Inferi: A Primer and Reader on the Descent of Christ”. This is a helpful guide through the Biblical Data regarding Christ’s Descent as well as a look at the history of the doctrine as taught in the early church by the Apostle’s Creed (as well as the Athanasian Creed, although it was

This Age is Passing Away: the Emptiness of Secularism, then Hebrews 10 for Resurrection Weekend

James White, March 28, 2024, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Two primary topics on the program today, first, the emptiness of secularism and our need to be continually aware of its influence upon our thinking, acting, and speaking. Then, Hebrews 10 and its testimony to the purpose of God in the sacrifice of Christ, a particularly relevant topic on this Resurrection weekend.

Christ is King, Yes, Yes He is!

Rich Pierce, March 26, 2024, Abortion, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

After a quick update on our travel issues/situation, we started to comment on the “Christ is King” controversy, digging down a bit into the theology and context of the statement and what it means. We also looked at some folks claiming “replacement theology” (it’s fulfillment theology, but they don’t want to view it fairly) is actually heretical. Then we played

Peter Schild and Tobias Riemenschneider from Frankfurt, Germany, on the Dividing Line

James White, March 22, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Personal, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I was joined by two dear brothers, Reformed pastors in Frankfurt, Germany, Peter Schild and Tobias Riemenschneider, to talk about their work in Germany and about global Christianity. A most enjoyable conversation!

RV News, Then Hebrews 1:10-12 and Dale Tuggy

Rich Pierce, March 20, 2024, Debate, General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Personal, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized, Unitarianism

Went over what has been going on over the past few days about our RV—and that fact that we needed to make arrangements to obtain a different one, due to it being defective and needing to be rebuilt. Went through the whole story, mainly for our supporters, as we will need to raise some funds to make up the differences

Provisionist Mythology Refuted with Full Documentation

James White, March 18, 2024, Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Spent two hours documenting the incredible mythology generated by Leighton Flowers and his guests regarding my supposed “Greek errors” over the past ten days. Everyone who has heard the stories should watch, take notes, and verify for yourselves. Truly, the end of the story, and time to move on. Hope you find it helpful!

The Marathon Ends: Final Road Trip DL (for Six Weeks Anyway)

James White, March 13, 2024, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Ken Wilson, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Managed to pull off a solid internet connection from a slight wide spot in the road called Lordsburg, New Mexico (really sad little town…lots of abandoned buildings). We covered a wide variety of things, including announcing the upcoming debates, April 24th and 25th, in Lafayette, Louisiana, with Catholic Answers apologist Jimmy Akin (sola scriptura, and “How Does a Man Have

Road Trip DL: Stream Died in the Wilderness; Tuggy and Flowers Comments, More John 6.

James White, March 12, 2024, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

We had a great group listening at the start but the stream died a thousand deaths tonight, so we had to just record the rest of the program. Discussed a few things from the Tuggy debate, and then moved on to more of the response from the Flowers debate. I had hooked up my second monitor so I could walk

James White, March 8, 2024, Debate, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today we went back over the key issues in the Flowers debate on John 6, looked more closely at 6:45, documented errors on LF’s part, etc. Also thanked a bunch of folks for their support and a super cool gift I was given last evening (the A&O Bow Tie!). Spent about ten minutes looking at Chris Fisher’s misuse of 1

This is a follow up to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 in this blog series where I will go through the works of John Owen detailing where he has mentioned Thomas Aquinas. I hope that this series is helpful. In this fourth part, I would like to look at the mentions of Thomas Aquinas in Volume 14 of

Road Trip DL: About Asking Your Debate Opponent to Actually Interpret a Bible Verse

James White, February 26, 2024, The Dividing Line

We took the time today to go back over the controversy that has developed when I asked my debate opponent Saturday afternoon to tell us what one of the key texts on the atonement (and in my opening statement) actually means, and he refused to do so. I played the audio of the exchange, put the text on the screen,

Purgatory Debate – 2/17/2024

Rich Pierce, February 25, 2024, Roman Catholicism

In February of 2024 James White and Trent Horn did two, back to back debates at First Lutheran Church in Houston. The first night was on sola scriptura, and the second on purgatory. It was the conjunction of these two debates that was most informative and useful. We invite our viewers to listen to both debates and compare the assertions

James White, February 22, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Just had to make note of the monumental Alabama Supreme Court decision and the issue of “By What Standard” that simply cannot be avoided. Then we looked at some further issues I had forgotten to get to on the last program about claims Trent Horn made and how all of this is so vitally relevant to the direction Roman Catholic

This is a follow up to Part 1 and Part 2 in this blog series where I will go through the works of John Owen detailing where he has mentioned Thomas Aquinas. I hope that this series is helpful. In this third part, I would like to look at two different types of usage. First will be a couple of

Live Feed Link to White/Horn Purgatory Debate

Rich Pierce, February 17, 2024, Roman Catholicism

Calvinist James White and Roman Catholic Trent Horn will debate the doctrine of Purgatory. At the start of the Reformation, the question of Purgatory was front and center. After all, it was an indulgence that helped one escape Purgatory to which Martin Luther objected in the 95 Theses. Protestants argue that the finished work of Christ on the cross is

Live Feed Link to White/Horn Sola Scriptura Debate

Rich Pierce, February 16, 2024, Roman Catholicism

Calvinist James White and Roman Catholic Trent Horn will debate the “formal principle” of the Reformation, sola scriptura, or Scripture Alone. From Luther on, Protestants have argued that the Bible is the only “God-breathed” revelation that can provide sufficient knowledge of God and His salvation. Roman Catholics argue that the Tradition is equally valid and important as a source. The

Pre-Debate Road Trip Dividing Line from Houston

James White, February 15, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

Talked a little about the “He Gets Us” thing, gave a brief report on the Allie Beth Stuckey Show from Tuesday, then dove into the Protevangelium of James and read its narrative of the birth of Christ in light of the defense of this document as containing genuine Christian tradition by Roman Catholic apologists. We then moved on to discuss
