Audiobooks for The Forgotten Trinity and What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur’an

Chris Whisonant, August 24, 2020, Christian Worldview, Islam, Theology Matters

In case you have missed it, audiobook versions have recently been released for these two books by James White. Here are links to them on Audible in the Amazon store, but you should also be able to find them in your favorite audiobook apps. The Forgotten Trinity What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur’an

A Ton of Topics on Tuesday (Except it is Thursday)

James White, August 20, 2020, The Dividing Line

Sorry, had to try to make it rhyme. We had more streaming problems, and in fact, lost the first 30 minutes of the program, started over, and somehow managed to get a lower resolution stream to make it through the YouTube wilderness (we are posting the high quality version however). So what will you find in this two hour program?

Radio Free Geneva: WLC on Romans 9

James White, August 18, 2020, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Had to record due to web issues yet again. We went all the way through William Lane Craig’s video about Romans 9, then went through Leighton Flowers’ video on predestination, and finished up with J.D. Greear’s article on “fundamentalism” (which is just plain confusing).

Swimming the Tiber, Hosea 11:1 in the LXX, Frank Turek on Molinism

James White, August 12, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent a good portion of time talking about why people “swim the Tiber” in light of Cameron Bertuzzi’s stating that he is closer than he has ever been to embracing Rome’s claims (though, he says, he is still “far away”). Realized while we were doing the program that this month marks the 30th anniversary of my first public debate which

The Corona Mask, Transgenderism, Molinistic Soteriology

James White, August 11, 2020, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played a fun little ditty called “The Corona Mask” (sung to “The Monster Mash”) and then talked a bit about the global panic we are experiencing. Then transitioned into a discussion of transgenderism based upon a brief conversation between Summer Jaeger of Sheologians and a transgender advocate. Then we played a KJVO numerology video with good ol’ Brother Sluder, and

A Twitter Based Dividing Line

James White, August 7, 2020, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Took a bunch of questions mainly from Twitter today on a wide variety of topics, starting off with two on the woke church, racialism, and then moving on to other topics. Maybe you question was covered in here somewhere!

Able or slave? Then the Broke Woke Church

James White, August 6, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off listening to a few moments of Leighton Flowers interacting with Jeff Durbin’s presentation of total depravity—only played a few sentences, honestly, because that was all we needed to do. Dove into the text and let its message speak for itself. Then we looked at statements from Jemar Tisby, Anthony Bradley, and Beth More, all presenting the religion of

Augustine on Apostolic Tradition

Chris Whisonant, August 5, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History

While listening to Dr. White discuss the Marian doctrines the other day, I was reminded of a post that I wrote a couple of years ago. My original post was a longer response to Dr. R. Scott Clark who was, it would appear, attempting to use a quote by Augustine to prove that infant baptism was rooted in Scripture –

Woke Religion with Tim Keller, Fulgentius of Ruspe on the Hypostatic Union

James White, August 4, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Actually started off with a little bit on how to deconstruct the objective reality of the fact that 2+2=4, then moved on to Tim Keller’s article ostensibly pushing back on Critical Theory while actually demonstrating he has been deeply influenced (in a bad way) but it. Then we finished up with a Story Time with Uncle Jimmy segment, reading through

Revolution or Obedience? A Response to Jonathan Leeman’s Position Regarding Civil Disobedience

Tom Buck, August 4, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Theology Matters

Before your church follows Jonathan Leeman and 9Marks and begins to restructure your church in compliance to governmental orders this Sunday, hold on! Stop and think with me for a moment. Two weeks ago, Dr. John MacArthur and the elders of Grace Community Church released a statement that they were opening the doors of their church for worship on the

Jeff Riddle “Responds”

James White, August 3, 2020, TROnlyism

This article speaks for itself. There is no reason to repeat the rational, logical argumentation of my previous post. There is also no rational, logical defense of TR Onlyism.

Are the Marian Doctrines Authentic Christian Teaching?

James White, August 3, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent over an hour today digging deep into church history in light of the vital importance of sola scriptura. This is the kind of program that won’t elicit many loud “amens!” but will give you a foundation that will last a lifetime. That’s important.

This Really Isn’t Hard

James White, August 1, 2020, Debate, TROnlyism

On July 28th I commented on the Dividing Line about an invitation to do a debate with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on textual critical issues, specifically, a comparison of his position (TR Onlyism) and the Critical Text position (mine). I attempted to plainly and clearly lay out the main issue. Dr. Riddle has responded with an article accusing me of “refusing”

James Cone’s Children, Then In-Depth on the Immaculate Conception

James White, July 31, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent just a few minutes at the start on the video of a black Baptist pastor applying the words of Isaiah 53 to John Lewis, explaining how this is perfectly consistent with Black Liberation Theology as developed by James Cone. Then got into a lengthy church history segment focusing upon the historical development of the Immaculate Conception and why any

It’s Too Risky To Close the Church

Robb Brunansky, July 30, 2020, Pastoral Theology

Many churches in the United States are now faced with a question that used to be merely hypothetical: If the government tries to close the church, should we stay open anyways? Few anticipated this question would become a pressing issue as a result of a virus, but here we are. When the government requests or requires the church to close

John Cooper of Skillet on the Dividing Line: Faith and Music

James White, July 30, 2020, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Well, we announced during the show today that I am now the official theologian for Skillet, so it was time to have the founding lead singer, John Cooper, on the Dividing Line! Had a great time talking with John about the band, its history, ministry in a challenging field, etc. His response to the apostasy of Joshua Harris went viral

Todd White Discovers Spurgeon, Timothy Cho, Free Speech, TR-Onlyism

James White, July 28, 2020, Debate, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Started off with a brief clip from the now famous Todd White sermon from two days ago, then talked a bit about Timothy Cho’s tweets, one on the nuclear family, the other on face masks. I spent a few minutes going over my arguments on the mask mandates in response. Briefly talked about a student kicked out of student government

Jonathan Leeman’s Response to Grace Church, More on the Fradd/Bertuzzi Ecumenical Discussion

James White, July 27, 2020, The Dividing Line

Big goings on with John MacArthur’s sermon on Sunday this weekend, so I took the time to respond to portions of Jonathan Leeman’s article critiquing the position of the Grace eldership. Leeman’s article is here, the Grace Church statement is here. Then we looked some more from the ecumenical dialogue between Matt Fradd and Cameron Bertuzzi, found here, focusing on

Without Excuse Indeed!

James White, July 24, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters

Back when Fesko’s book came out a few years ago I read the early statement out of Westminster (which Van Til contributed to heavily) on the issue of general revelation, natural theology, etc. 15 years ago when I was teaching apologetics at Golden Gate I had my students read the Sproul/Gerstner/Lindsley work on classical apologetics. I used it to point

The Calvinist Club, Sola Scriptura, Purgatory

James White, July 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Went 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

Another Potpourri Show!

James White, July 21, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started off with two videos and a little report from the weekend (including my having the awesome honor of baptizing two of my granddaughters, Kadence and Clementine). Then I showed off my new Jeffrey Rice/PTL LXX set and talked about this coming Sunday’s sermon at Apologia on compatibilism. Eventually we made it around to the subject of Mormonism and modifications

Tomorrow Night’s Dialogue Link

A Remote Dividing Line that Did Not Look Remote

James White, July 16, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Felt it would be wise to test our new technology before I do the Apologetics Roundtable tomorrow evening, so we did the program that way and I must say, it turned out well! A little warm (I am set up in the warmest room in my house, well, at least during the summer—surely the coolest for the few weeks of

The Sudden Clarity of Black Racism (Louis Farrakhan), Then a Response to Jonathan McLatchie on the Noetic Effect of Sin

James White, July 14, 2020, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at a clip showing sincere, clear, plain black supremacy straight from the teachings of Louis Farrakhan, a very well known racist who believes white people are demons. Eventually we transitioned into providing an exegetical response to Jonathan McLatchie’s assertion that there really is no “noetic effect of sin,” a claim he lays out in this article. The

Reposting a Top Ten List on Roman Catholicism

James White, July 11, 2020, Church History, Roman Catholicism

I looked for an HOUR before I found this article, so I wanted to get it back out there where it can do some good. I wrote this in August, 2007 in response to a question that was sent in regarding a person thinking about converting to Roman Catholicism from a Reformed background. It was useful then, it remains just

Open Phones Dividing Line Friday

James White, July 10, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Let’s see what some of the topics were: Sam Gipp and “Antioch manuscripts,” the Church & Culture, Debating the Papacy, Justification and Roman Catholic apologists, how to talk to Christians who have bought into social justice theories, and more!

Another Potpourri of Topics, Including the Future of Mormonism

James White, July 9, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Covered a lot of topics including Don Lemon’s comments from 2013 (and how I said the exact same thing in 2016), as well as his “Jesus wasn’t perfect” comments from yesterday. Looked at a new X-Ray map of the universe, and finished up looking at the future of Mormonism.

Catching Up on the Revolution

James White, July 7, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had a pile of articles to catch up with over the weekend since we did a Radio Free Geneva yesterday, including a BLM leader’s open promotion of black supremacy, Seattle’s anti-white rhetoric, and a Christian student kicked out of an allegedly Christian university for observing the obvious. Worldview issues abound as we face the open promotion of Marxist revolution in

Radio Free Geneva: The Choice Meats Analygesis of Leighton Flowers in John 10

James White, July 6, 2020, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Primarily focused upon comments made by Leighton Flowers on the 180 Cast with Georgi Boorman regarding John 10 and the “sheep” that are referenced therein. We did touch briefly upon Ephesians 1 as well, but the bulk of the time was spent on John 10. Enjoy!

Answering Questions from Friends

James White, July 2, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did an hour and forty minutes today answering questions from two friends of mine—but you will find them to be useful questions! A great deal on the topics of how Christians are to respond to changing cultural situations and challenges, and then a solid hour or so on theodicy, God and the existence of evil. I did start off with

Being Saved, Marxists Everywhere, Graeme Codrington vs. John Piper

James White, June 30, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent some time talking about 1 Corinthians 1:18 and what “being saved” means in like a KJVOist Nathan Rager’s NIV-tossing comments on the passage, discussed more about Marxism, and finished up looking at comments by Graeme Codrington on John Piper’s affirmation of God’s sovereignty over the CV-19 virus.
