Let’s Make Cyril Lucaris Great Again!

James White, June 28, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, The Dividing Line

Finally got around to having Jason Wallace join us to talk about this video he posted a while back on the fascinating topic of Cyril Lucaris, the Calvinist Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. If you are encountering the claims of Orthodoxy, this is a program you will want to listen to! Enjoy!

Presidential Debate, Latin Mass, the God of Purpose and Glory

James White, June 26, 2024, Debate, Misc, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off today with a few interesting and funny tweets, wished Tom Buck a happy birthday, lamented tomorrow evenings Presidential “debate,” discussed Francis’ detestation of the Latin Mass, and finished up looking at the comments of an open theist concerning God’s decree and his demand that God be as limited and creaturely as the rest of us.

An Unusual Monday Morning Dividing Line

James White, June 24, 2024, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Misc, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity, TROnlyism

Covered a wide range today, from insanity in Germany, more and more studies showing the danger of the Covid jabs, the Biden Regime’s war on Christians, a few interesting graphics I’ve run across, to finally in the last half of the program, a brief video from Barth Ehrman showing his theological shallowness and the reasons thereof. Also mentioned once again

Archbishop Vigano Torches Francis, Open Phones

James White, June 20, 2024, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Open Phones, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had to take time to read through Archbishop Virgano’s utter torching of Francis and the current Vatican regime at the start of the program, then we took calls on the following topics: conjectural emendation in the Old Testament, issues relating to annihilationism/conditionalism, Shoemaker’s critical study of the Qur’an, advice for a new father, developments in Mormonism, and raising godly

Passion Translation, Nicene Creed, and a Boatload of Anathemas

James White, June 18, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, The Dividing Line

Briefly commented on a year old tweet from Mike Winger on the amazingly loony “Passion Translation,” then moved on to talk about the Nicene Creed and the Southern Baptist Convention, looking at some comments of David Allen. Next week we hope to be joined by Jason Wallace who produced a 37 minute video about Cyril Lucaris, so today we looked

Further Thoughts on the Origins of the Term “Biblicism”

Chris Whisonant, June 17, 2024, Church History, Reformed Baptist Issues

As there continues to be pushback against those of us who would refer to ourselves as “Biblicists” (or, better yet, as “Reformed Biblicists“), I have been looking at the history of the usage of the term. This is not very hard to do, yet some professors and pastors seem to have difficulty with it. In my previous article, which detailed

The Mormon Question and Then Open Phones

James White, June 13, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Open Theism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Briefly addressed the “Mormon Question” in light of the recent get-together featuring Glenn Beck, then went to the phones, answering questions on the meaning of Elohim, Open Theism, Mormon Polygamy, prayer to saints, the Sovereignty of God, and finally the schools of Antioch and Alexandria.

Rich Saves France; Injustice in America; Eastern Orthodoxy’s Anthropology; Two Responses to Dan McClellan

James White, June 11, 2024, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Went more than 90 minutes today, mainly looking at first at the amazing corruption of the justice system in America and how it flows from the rejection of our Christian heritage and the embracing of secularism. Then we played a 60 second video from an Eastern Orthodox priest denying penal, substitutionary atonement. Then we finished up our response to Dan

Creeds and Confessions, Dan McClellan Continued

James White, June 7, 2024, CBGM, Church History, Mormonism, Personal, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Worked through a thirteen tweet discussion about creeds and confessions and Biblical sufficiency from Dr. Brad Klassen, posted on 5/30, then got back to Dan McClellan’s comments about the manuscripts of the New Testament.

KJV Only Abuse of Numerology, Dan McClellan on NT Manuscripts

James White, June 4, 2024, CBGM, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Had a bunch of other stuff I didn’t get to, but did manage to look at an excellent example of how KJVOism destroys real confidence in the Bible by looking at an example provided by Pastor Jonathan Burris (here) regarding the abuse of Deuteronomy 16:11 by one such KJVO advocate. Then we moved over to this video from Dan McClellan,

Roman Catholics Worshipping Mary on Video, Trump’s New York “Conviction,” Soteriology 101 on Election

James White, May 30, 2024, Exegesis, Open Theism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Resources, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played a video of Roman Catholics singing to a statue of Mary as backdrop to once again explaining that the latria/dulia distinction has no meaning or merit. Then commented quickly on the breaking news of Trump’s conviction in New York, then moved on to comments from Soteriology 101 on election.

The Changing World of Mormonism, A Few Tweets, 90 Minutes

James White, May 28, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Mormonism, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent most of the first hour dealing with the changing world of Mormonism in light of comments from the “Ward Radio Show” and the idea of “religious bigotry” in not accepting Mormonism and its plurality of Gods as a Christian church. Looked at a chart about global fertility rates and what the future might hold in light of the collapse

John Owen’s Usage of Thomas Aquinas, Part 6

Chris Whisonant, May 24, 2024, Church History, John Owen

This is a follow up to the previous posts 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 sixth part, I would like to finish looking at the mentions of Thomas Aquinas in the 7 Volumes of his “Exposition of the

The Emptiness of Secularist Jurists Demonstrated; Twitter Bookmarks

James White, May 23, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Listened to Senator Ted Cruz roasting a leftist, radical female judge and took the time to consider the issues at a deeper level. Then I looked at a few videos I’ve marked for review in my Twitter bookmarks, including a PCUSA minister denying the deity of Christ and a Roman Catholic arguing for the necessity of an infallible canon to

Pelagian Pope, Two Part Romans Utterly Refuted

James White, May 22, 2024, Church History, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the Pope’s comments on 60 Minutes, and then dove into a refutation of Brent Lay’s “Two Part Romans” theory (originated in 2013) that is being promoted by Jason Breda in a series of videos. The entire theory is based upon an alleged “ambiguous antecedent” in Romans 1:13, except, there is no such construction there, the antecedent is

Pope Francis on Conservatives, LF on Being “Good,” and Adoniram Judson’s Letter to Ann’s Father

James White, May 16, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A wide range of topics on the DL today, from Pope Francis’ comments in the upcoming 60 Minutes interview, to Leighton Flowers’ “Calvinists think you have to be a better person to get saved” idea, to the amazing commitment of Adoniram and Ann Judson in bringing the gospel to Burma two hundred years ago. As I noted in the program,

A Saturday Dividing Line

James White, May 11, 2024, Personal, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

I didn’t want an entire week to go by without a program, so we snuck one in just under the wire! Gave a bit of a report on where I am as far as surgeries and the like go (another in just over a week), and then I played a short clip from a dialogue Leighton Flowers did recently wherein

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva–36 Hours After Surgery!

James White, May 2, 2024, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

How much do I love doing the Dividing Line, and love our audience? Well, 36 hours after surgery I managed to pull off our first ever full Radio Free Geneva, including our (relatively) new video opening and closing! How’s that for dedication! Gave a quick report on yet another exciting visit to the hospital while on the road, even getting

Road Trip DL: Fridge Disaster, Breda/Garza Reply

James White, April 29, 2024, Exegesis, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Long day on the road today, but, just had to get a DL in this evening. After some personal stuff I reply to the Breda/Garza attempt to deal with Hebrews 7:25.

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.
