Started off with a little ministry report from the G3 Conference and my time in Pennsylvania. Then we talked a little bit about the Master’s Seminary controversy, then about the debate from Saturday afternoon, and finished up with a response to Costi Hinn about Doug Wilson and Michael Brown. An hour and twenty minutes. I forgot to provide the links

Covered a lot of ground today from the RV park outside Columbus, Ohio, including a look at the Son of Man in Mark 9, some preview of the upcoming debate with Peter van Kleeck, some discussion of cultural developments such as Illinois declaring open season on its own citizens, the emptiness of “conservatism” without a real world-view foundation, etc., and
Commented on the Queen’s passing and with her the passing of an era. Then we looked at Colossians 2:9, and then at Walter Brueggemann’s comments on the Bible and homosexuality.
Mary as Mediatrix in Roman Piety, Comments on Scott Swain’s Experimental Idea from James 1:5
James White, , Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, ThomismWe have no way of knowing what we will be doing for the next few days program wise, but we snuck one in today, looking closely at the infamous Marian prayer going around the net (one I was addressing in the early 1990s). Then we looked at Scott Swain’s comments on divine simplicity and James 1:5.
The Frankfurt Declaration/Responding to Craig Carter
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, ThomismFirst hour or so I was joined by Pastor Tobias Riemenschneider, one of the framers of the Frankfurt Declaration (Frankfurtdeclaration.com). We discussed the declaration, its purpose and function. Then I responded to Dr. Craig Carter’s inaccurate and unkind comments posted yesterday, once again focusing upon the real issue that is coming out of the development of this “Great Traditionalism.” Nearly
Ninety Minutes of Biblical Exegesis and Theological Ruminations
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, ThomismStarted off looking closely at Jude 3-5, then moved on to listen to a section of an interview with Carl Trueman, and then brought it all together to respond to the topic of people destroying their credibility by talking about Socinianism.
The Great Paedo-Bapti-Trans Dispute of 2022
James White, , Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing LineI drove from Denver to Santa Fe today, set up my unit and jumped on line to address the great dispute that erupted over the weekend. I hope that my comments will clarify, enlighten, bless and challenge.

Road Trip DL: Passing On the Faith
James White, , Church History, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, ThomismStarted off with something I had not planned on doing, discussing the importance of passing on the Culture of Life, and how this relates to God’s law, the preservation of Scripture, etc. Then looked at some of the zaniness in the “Reformed” world, including R. Scott Clark’s exceptionally hypocritical comments on my response to George Bryson from 2003.
Open Zoom Calls Road Trip Dividing Line
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, ThomismWe managed to get through a number of excellent calls today on topics ranging from the canon to covenant theology to talking to folks who are being taught by the New Confessionalists, etc. with only one 30 second Internet drop (that, as far as we can see, was on Rich’s end, not mine!). Should be able to have another program
The I Am Sayings of Jesus as an Example of Exegesis and Hermeneutics
James White, , Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, ThomismToday we did a Road Trip DL in the rain up here in Colorado, focusing upon the I Am sayings of Jesus and using them as an example of what believing, exegesis looks like in contrast with modern methods, or the supposedly superior “pre-modern” method seen in Scholasticism, etc. Tomorrow we will be doing on “Open Zoom” program with your
Road Trip Dividing Line from Denver, Colorado
James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, ThomismStarted off with a little discussion of the lawless Regimes in the West and where all of that must, inevitably, head. Then I played key sections from a webcast hosted by Joe Thorn with special guest Steve Meister where I am accused of, well, all sorts of things. It is truly a mystery why this is happening, but, we press
We had a solid internet connection so we did a full program including playing a “Mystics of India” video and responding to it, and then playing a video from Norman Geisler on the necessity of Thomas Aquinas for Evangelicals. Oddly enough, the two topics connected together fairly well!

James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, ThomismAfter a few minutes about the importance of self discipline in the Christian life, I read through three sections from Dr. Nick Needham’s 2000 Years of Christ’s Power series, one dealing with the Robber Synod, one dealing with the Marburg Colloquy, and the last about the death of Chrysostom. Enjoy!

The Redemption of Christ
James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, ThomismToday we dove headlong into one of the greatest chapters in Calvin’s Institutes, Book II, chapter 16, where he lays out the great work of Christ. It has been alleged that a “Reformed Biblicist” like myself could not speak as Calvin did. We buried that strawman deep into the soil of truth. Enjoy!
Scripture and Tradition
James White, , Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, ThomismToday we mainly looked at the first chapter of the London Baptist Confession of Faith and its beautiful and important testimony to the inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture. Hopefully encouraging for us all! I did look at a few statements made by folks at the beginning of the show, but tried to keep most of them relevant to the over-all
