Worship in Spirit and Truth, Totalitarianism, Robert Spencer Retreads

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off the DL today with a review of some important thoughts from John 4, then looked a bit at the continued advance of totalitarianism.  But spent most of our time looking at today’s Jihad Watch article re-treading the Yasir Qadhi story.  Robert Spencer shows us once again the difference between approaching Islam from a worldly perspective or from the

Another Mega DL! Lots of Topics, Including P&P, Proud of Multiple Abortions, Muslim Arguments, KJV Onlyism

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Hard to even remember the number of topics we covered today!  Looked at a tweet from P&P about my being “childish,” looked at a new contributor to WorldView Weekend who is just repeating the same old, oft-refuted errors, listened to William Lane Craig misrepresent Calvinists (again), played the disgusting clip of an actress proud of her multiple abortions, looked at

Mega DL! P&P on the NS; Great Statement on Critical Race Theory; 80 Minutes in Response to Roman Catholic Video

, , Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism

A full two hours on the DL today.  Due to connection issues, we recorded “off air.”  First section we looked at a few comments from the “News Division” over at Pulpit and Pen on the Nashville Statement (wink, wink). Then we read through this excellent statement that was released last week on critical race theory and its damaging impact on

Steve Camp on BTWN: Reviewed and Refuted

, , General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters

Took the time to play portions of Steve Camp’s appearance on The Bible Thumping Wingnut and provided a rather full response to his arguments, or, in most cases, non-arguments regarding ministry to Muslims, apologetics, gospel presentation, etc.  IF YOU ARE TIRED OF THIS TOPIC, SKIP THIS EPISODE.  But there are some pretty important issues covered here. Here is the YouTube

The Nashville Statement (First Hour), Racialism Dividing the Church (2nd Hour)

, , Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Unfortunately we have developed connection problems yet once again with our ISP, so we had to cut things a bit short when everything just ground to a halt.  First hour was a rather full discussion of the Nashville Statement and some of those who have attempted to respond to it. Then we switched over to the always enjoyable topic of

Report on Trip to Birmingham, South Africa, and London, Along with More

, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Covered my two weeks overseas with lots of side-trips and commentary on related issues, and toward the end focused upon some issues that came up in my debate with Zakir Hussein on the crucifixion, especially John 17:5 and Psalm 22:16.  Also showed off a new Bible, a Polish translation of The Roman Catholic Controversy, my Bates hat from London, and the

Presentations and Sermons from South Africa

, , Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Theology Matters

I’ve been pretty busy down here in South Africa after the debate in Birmingham, UK.  The folks down here have been efficient in posting the talks and sermons, so since some of you are complaining about no Dividing Lines, well, take a listen to these! http://www.antiochbiblechurch.org.za/multimedia-archive/defining-and-defending-the-solas-of-the-protestant-reformation/ Defining and Defending the Sola’s of the Protestant Reformation – Session 2 Defining and

Brannon Howse: When You Combine Abject Dishonesty, Conspiratorialism, and Sub-Biblical Theology+

Brannon Howse: When You Combine Abject Dishonesty, Conspiratorialism, and Sub-Biblical Theology

, , Christian Worldview, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Simply Silly, Uncategorized

So Brannon Howse is busy going after men who used to be on his network.  It’s his way or the highway, obviously, and as with so many, either you are for me, or you are against me.  There’s no adiaphora in Howse’s world.  It is all black and white, always. Today Justin Peters spoke at the conference going on back

Jeff v. Clementine, Ancient Leviticus Scroll, Colossians 2, A Little Abu Zakariya

Got started a little late (I think what I heard Rich yell was “I killed the whole thing!”) but still managed to sneak a program in covering a wide variety of topics including Clementine’s debate with Jeff Durbin and…other stuff!  I leave for England and South Africa this weekend, so we will be back, Lord willing, with more programs at

Meme Day on the Dividing Line

, , General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Showed a bunch of memes today and interacted with them, mainly on Islamic issues.  Then read two brief articles from Bassam Zawadi, also from Facebook, and interacted with them.  Wide variety of topics, actually, hopefully helpful to more than just those who engage in ministry to Muslims.  Enjoy! I also mentioned toward the end of the program the sermon I

Just Can’t Argue with the Video

, , General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics

My sincere thanks to Justin Bullington for putting together this short video that simply decimates the false narrative spun by Steve Camp, Janet Mefferd, Brannon Howse, and their followers.  Needed to be done, now here it is.  Putting the actual words right next to the misrepresentations and spin is VERY effective—at least for those with ears to hear, anyway.

A Clarification on the Trinity for a Muslim/Brannon Howse on the Hagmann Report

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

For the first 45 minutes we played a video from a Muslim asking a question about the Trinity based upon how the Holy Spirit “overshadowed” Mary.  Since he asked for Christians to explain the passage, we did!  Then we moved to last night’s Hagmann Report which, in the first hour, featured Brannon Howse. Here is the YouTube link:

God Made Man and Woman. PERIOD. Then Back to William Lane Craig and Presuppositionalism

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The first half of the program was prompted by the Presidential statement (Tweet!) on “transgenders” in the military and the reactions to it from the secular totalitarians.  What are the worldview implications and foundations? Then in the second half of the program we went back to the last portion of the comments made by Dr. William Lane Craig on the

More on WLC and Apologetic Methodology (First Hour), Karlo Broussard on the Alleged Parallels Between Atheism and Sola Scriptura

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First hour we played material relevant to apologetic methodology as William Lane Craig continues his very interesting, if somewhat confusing, interaction with the debate Sye did on the radio.  But we only got halfway through that, as I wanted to review some comments by Karlo Broussard on catholic.com attempting (badly) to parallel atheism with Protestantism (specifically, a belief in sola scriptura).

A Scriptural Case for the Deity of Christ/Interaction with a Proposal for the Government to “Study” Islam

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Islam, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Only an hour today, but the first half was focused on the deity of Christ (interrupted by failing light strips in the studio!) and the second was focused upon a GOP proposal to identify “peaceful teaching Muslims” from those preaching violence.  Basically, I really don’t want the government determining good and bad theology for anyone, because while the GOP may be

William Lane Craig on Presuppositionalism, More on the White/Howse (Get It?) Controversy

, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Simply had to deal with William Lane Craig’s review of a debate on apologetic methodology at the start—we will be waiting further installments as this conversation continues.  Then I moved on to comment on the Janet Mefferd Show episode that aired Monday, Brannon Howse’s turning me over to Satan, etc. and etc.  Comments on 2 John 7-11 as well.  A

A Little Bit on Eugene Peterson, a Whole Lot on James Simpson

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Did about twenty minutes on the Eugene Peterson controversy regarding gay marriage, etc., and then moved into a rather full response to the James Simpson interview on the Janet Mefferd Show.  Played entire clips from the interview and responded, fully, to the politically-based accusations from Simpson, and then played Janet’s objections and responded to them as well.  I really appreciate

Useful Idiot for Islamism? Or Adorning the Gospel of Christ? A Response to James Simpson and American Thinker

In light of the airing tomorrow of an interview with James Simpson, author of “When Evangelicals Become Useful Idiots for Islamism” (American Thinker, 6/24/17) on the Janet Mefferd Show, we did a special program for those who will be looking for information in light of that interview.  We went over the controversy and pointed out that Mr. Simpson’s article is

The Apostle Paul’s Simple Response to Brannon Howse

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Uncategorized

There is a lot of fearmongering going on over at Brannon Howse’s “Worldview Weekend” ministry in recent times. Mr. Howse has been consumed by an unchristian fear, including his guilty-by-association conspiracy mind-set. The Gospel has been neglected and tarnished by Howse’s misguided, personal attack against James White and Alpha & Omega ministries. His thin-skinned, protracted assaults are only hurting Howse

Cultures That Abandon God’s Light Lose that Light, Then Hebrews 1:3 Textual Critical Discussion

Mainly discussed the move toward embracing transgenderism as a proper Christian viewpoint by the Church of England in the first half hour, and then moved to a discussion of a textual variant in Hebrews 1:3 as an illustration of a number of things in the second half hour.  Both live from Evergreen, Colorado via Skype.  Hope it is helpful!

Skype Dividing Line from Evergreen, Colorado

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I guess the single theme of today’s Dividing Line was: let’s interact with the world with gentleness and reverence since, well…the Bible commands us to do so.  Thoughts on the development of the “fundamentalist mindset,” a little look at the attitude expressed by “Truth Defenders,” and more.  Enjoy! Here is the YouTube link:

Is Justification Forensic?

, , Roman Catholicism

Some opponents of reformation theology attempt to deny that the term justification can be used in the context of declaration of righteousness, as opposed to infusion of righteousness. For those folks, the passages that contrast justification with condemnation should help. Surely none of these people will think that condemnation is the infusion of unrighteousness. Rather, they will recognize that condemnation
