Radio Free Geneva: Mark Driscoll, Michael Brown, Tony Hutson

James White, July 22, 2019, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line

A jumbo edition of Radio Free Geneva today, first looking at Mark Driscoll’s recent webcast on “Calvinism,” then looking at Michael Brown’s comments on Calvinism and God’s character. I addressed my comments directly to Michael, so I hope he will watch and consider my replies. Finally we played a few minutes from Tony Hutson. Yes, he mentioned Calvinism, but just

Critical Theory in the Church, the “Transient Text,” and Open Phones

James White, July 19, 2019, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Discussed a pastor who asked a couple to apologize for theoretical ancestral racism (killed the church plant), looked a bit at Robert Truelove’s opening chapter on “the Transient text,” and then took phone calls on a wide variety of topics, including the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Just over an hour in length. And don’t forget, we will be doing

Romans 1:32 Illustrated

James White, July 12, 2019, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism

συνευδοκέω is a Greek term that means “to agree with, give approval to.” It is found in the final verse of Romans 1 where Paul describes the final state of human sin, one in which mankind, knowing the just judgment of God against sin, not only still engaged in it, but “gives hearty approval” to those who join with them in

All Authority is Given to the Risen Christ, Immaturity is Now the Rage, the Jenkins Piece on Sovereign

James White, July 11, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started out with a brief study on Matthew 28:19-20 and the incredible words of Jesus, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Do we really believe that? It matters. Then I looked at the plague of immaturity in Western culture, tying together three different threads in current events. Then I briefly looked at an RNS

More Moore, Tim Staples Speaks Synergism, Steven Anderson and the RBs, Phone Calls, Thoughts on Growth and Change

James White, July 9, 2019, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Personal, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

A little over 90 minutes today looking at Beth Moore’s article released over the weekend first, then moving on to Tim Staples sounding very much like our synergistic friends in his argumentation. Then we looked at the cooperation of some (to me) local Reformed Baptists with Steven Anderson and how odd that is, took two phone calls (one on spiritual

The View from Capernaum

James White, July 6, 2019, Misc

Certain things stick with you about your first visit to Israel. For me, this view out across the Sea of Galilee from Capernaum is important. I had just led a study on John 6, fittingly, and took a few moments to snap some pictures to remember. This is the very beach, 2000 years removed, that the men would have pulled

Beth Moore Sort Of Explains…But Not Really

James White, July 6, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Given I spent a good bit of time yesterday going over the words Beth Moore originally wrote on the subject of homosexuality and then had removed recently I think today’s article she posted should be read carefully and fairly. I will be brief at this point: Mrs. Moore must know by now that there is nowhere to hide on this

Wisdom from Above

James White, July 6, 2019, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism

As Western culture closes down upon the freedoms of believers to speak in the public square we will need wisdom from above like never before. I cannot help but to think upon James’ words (3:17) frequently. Please forgive the paraphrase—there is nothing wrong with paraphrases as long as you are not pretending they are actual translations! “Divine or heavenly wisdom

2020 Alpha and Omega Ministries/Apologia Israel Cruise Announced, Then the Beth Moore Homosexuality Saga

James White, July 5, 2019, Homosexuality, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off talking with Cathy Kang, President of Sovereign Cruises about the 2020 Cruise to Rome, Ephesus, Athens, and Israel! Yes, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit these incredible locations with teaching on site (and on ship) from James White and Jeff Durbin. Read all about it here, and make sure to contact Sovereign if you have any questions

The Nashville Statement, the PCA, and a Whole Lot More

James White, July 2, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Spent a good bit of time today looking at the Nashville Statement in light of the Revoice/PCA/Greg Johnson situation last week. What is ahead for the PCA? For all of us? Also looked at some comments from Dr. Jamin Hubner on the same section of the Nashville Statement. Looked at some Bradly Mason claims, looked at a few other tweets,

De-Platformed by Dan DeWitt, the Influence of History, Receiving the Received Text

James White, June 27, 2019, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Islam, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

We dealt with the accusations of Dr. Dan DeWitt, Research Fellow of the ERLC, calling for him to substantiate, or withdraw, his statements. Then we looked at how we are all influenced by the history that came before us, whether we see it or not. Had a little fun with Dr. Mohler and Whataburger and dodgeball, and then spent the

The Tweet Heard Around the World: Explained, Defended, Vindicated, and What it Means to the Church

James White, June 25, 2019, Abortion, Offense, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Went a little over 90 minutes today on my Saturday morning tweet that broke the Internet. Had to deal with a whole lot of issues that came to light as a result. Leave it to me to combine ethnicity and abortion in a single tweet! But it was important, and remains important, after all the dust settles. Here is the

God’s Election and Reprobation in 2 Thessalonians 2:9–14

Dr. Alan Kurschner, June 23, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

“The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved. Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that

Beth Moore Open Letter on Homosexuality, Then A “Choice” Radio Free Geneva!

James White, June 20, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Before we fired up the RFG theme today I addressed the open letter that has been sent to Beth Moore about her views of homosexuality. I did so because it seems others (noted on the program) seem to be attempting to run interference for her so as to keep her from having to take a stand on one of the

Way Too Many Topics Today to Put in the Title! Listen Anyway!

James White, June 18, 2019, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Here’s a list of topics: the Convert’s Guide to Not Becoming Catholic (which came along with a long recitation about my history with Gerry Matatics and Scott Hahn), the article on whether homosexuality has always been in the Bible, the California Bill to allow inmates to choose their own sex (insanity personified), Samuel Sey’s fine article, Sam Shamoun’s comments on

The DL Wins the Finals, Dr. Buck Reports on the SBC Annual Meeting, Dale Tuggy Wins the Strawman Award

James White, June 14, 2019, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to have just a little fun at the start regarding our winning the Podcast Battle Royale on Facebook, just squeezing by (60-40) Sheologians, the podcast of Summer Jaeger (my daughter) and Joy Hunter, produced out of Apologia Studios, a ministry of Apologia Church, of which I am a pastor—so no matter how that went down, I was going to

Dividing Line from Southern California

James White, June 12, 2019, The Dividing Line

James White, June 6, 2019, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

James started the show off commenting on the historical significance of the great sacrifices that were made on this date in history from both World Wars. He then transitioned into a practical review of how presuppositional thought actually plays out in christian witnessing. Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video. Our YouTube

Living Out – A Follow-Up and Call to Further Action

Tom Buck, June 6, 2019, Homosexuality

Living Out – A Follow-Up and Call to Further Action On March 25, I began a series of articles that addressed concerns with the ministry of Living Out ( part 1, part 2, part 3 part 4). Over the course of four days, I revealed multiple resources at the Living Out website that were deeply troubling and profoundly unbiblical. I

Platt Prays for President Trump, TR Advocates Create Textual Mythology

James White, June 4, 2019, Exegesis, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Tried to do a live DL from up here in Flagstaff, Arizona. Worked for a bit, then would stop working. We’ve taken out some of the dead air and stuff from the final copy. Appreciate the patience! Just talked a bit about the Platt/Trump situation this past weekend, then looked at some claims coming from TR advocates that once again

Radio Free Geneva: Mike Winger and Limited Atonement Once Again!

James White, May 30, 2019, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today we did a Radio Free Geneva episode in response to Pastor Mike Winger’s discussion of limited atonement (drawing from a phone conversation with Dr. David Allen) which was aired just last evening. Normally don’t get to respond to things that quickly but this time it worked out. I hope Pastor Winger will consider the arguments we have presented, and

The Hunter/Pritchett Insult Fest, Kwaku El Concluded, Jared Wilson on George Whitefield’s Eternal Soul

James White, May 28, 2019, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off the program playing an 11 minute clip drawn from the 2-hour hit piece posted by Drs. Hunter and Pritchett relating to my review of the methodology used by William Lane Craig in his interview with Ben Shapiro. Then we finished up looking at Kwaku El’s claims about the Trinity, etc., and finished the 90 minute program with a

Jeff Durbin Joins James to Discuss Andy Stanley and Kwaku El

James White, May 23, 2019, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

For the first half hour or so Jeff Durbin and I discussed my new role as his fellow elder at Apologia Church along with his experience in dialoguing with Andy Stanley on the Unbelievable radio broadcast. Then we transitioned into a full analysis of Kwaku El’s new video promoting polytheism. I will continue my response to Kwaku next week on

Gene Bridges, Anthony Bradley, Greg Johnson, Michael Heiser, and Bruxy Cavey!

Gene Bridges comments on a Facebook discussion, Anthony Bradley continues to swing wide left, Greg Johnson comes out as a homosexual, Michael Heiser demonstrates he has not done even the most basic reading in Reformed theology, and Bruxy Cavey gets a tattoo that demonstrates he has no idea what God’s law is all about. Wow, talk about eclectic! Enjoy! Here

1 Timothy 2, Men and Women in the Church, then a Full Review of Shapiro/Craig

James White, May 16, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first half an hour or so looking at 1 Timothy 2 and the relationship of men and women in leadership roles in the church. Then we talked a bit about Jeff Durbin’s encounter with Andy Stanley that took place just this morning (the recordings will be posted May 30 (I would have typed 5/30 but it was recorded

Luke 2:22, Steven Anderson, Ireland, TR Onlyism, and You!

James White, May 15, 2019, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off looking at how Luke 2:22 came to say “her purification” instead of “their purification,” leading to a study of Beza and the Textus Receptus. This led us to Steven Anderson once again, who is in the news for being banned from half the planet lately (this time Ireland of all places). But this then led us to listen to

1 John 1:5-2:2, Brief Discussion on Presuppositional Apologetics

James White, May 9, 2019, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went a lot longer than I expected to on 1 John 1:5-2:2, but hope it is helpful for those who enjoy close discussion of the flow of a key text. Then I realized I had burned most of the hour and hence could not get into playing sections from the Mortification of Spin episode with Dr. Fesko, but I took

Pennsylvania Homosexual Representative, Choose Your CT, Beza and Matthew 1:23

James White, May 7, 2019, Abortion, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Everyone is talking today about the homosexual Pennsylvania state representative who berated a Christian woman outside a Planned Parenthood abortuary, so we chimed in as well, and then moved on to make some more comments on what happens when you “swap CTs,” that is, when you trade covenant theology for critical theory. The result is a big mess. Then we
