James White, June 12, 2025, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Transinsanity

Decided I needed a break from the battle so as to remember the foundational stuff—we can get back to the rest next week, Lord willing. Looked at a few Psalms and just considered what is eternal and important–and will be important next week, next month, and 100 years from now–rather than what grabs our attention and often steals our joy

Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion

James White, December 12, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and apologist, and Billy Carson, an Internet “influencer” of some kind, and

Road Trip #3: The Sad Situation with Steven Anderson, then, Ammon Hillman Reveals His True Intentions

James White, October 24, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Offense, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

After a few minutes of the inevitable talk about being on the road, going through a McDonald’s drive-thru looking for Donald Trump, and the current election situation, I commented on the Steven Anderson saga, and then spent the rest of the program talking about the claims Ammon Hillman made in the full 3.5 hour interview from which the short snippet

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

A Twitter Theology Dividing Line

James White, August 31, 2023, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Wrapping up our home stand before I head out next week with a pretty high energy program running through topics brought up on social media. We looked at how Francis is going to update his 2015 encyclical on the environment soon and asked, “If he can’t see the scam of climate change, how can he have much insight at all?”

Helping Joe Rogan Know the Truth

James White, May 25, 2023, Atheism, Church History, Debate, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Some folks were kind enough to link me to examples of Joe Rogan repeat common mythology about how the Bible was collected, the canon, Constantine, etc., so I took the time today to deal with those issues, as well as respond to a number of claims made in one clip as Rogan interviewed Lawrence Krauss, a well known atheist and

Views on Homosexuality, Interaction with Lindsay on Gnosticism

James White, January 26, 2023, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with Pope Francis’ comments on homosexuality and the distinction of sin/crime, then looked at a progressivist on Twitter and his explanation of how he became “affirming.” Looked at a thread documenting comments Andy Stanley made to a group of pastors in 2019, and then finished up with a review of my brief discussion with James Lindsay on his

Brandan Robertson’s Continued Apostasy, Yuvul Noah Harari’s Mengelian Worldview

It was nice not to have to run a “words you can’t say in 2021 in the US” filter today as we were not live streaming on YouTube. Discussed the spike protein, selection pressure, Fauci’s constant lies, etc., as the Omicron Craze sweeps the nation. Briefly commented on the oral arguments from yesterday on the SC abortion case, was dragged

Sitting in the Corner with Tom Buck

James White, October 7, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

I’m in Lindale, Texas with the well known Troublemaker of the same area, Tom Buck, so we talked about…lots of stuff, from SBC stuff, G3, the future, you name it. Hopefully our discussions will be edifying to those facing many of the same challenges we are.

The Sacraments of the State

James White, September 2, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a great thread from Twitter on how abortion is the sacrament of the great religion of the State in light of the Texas abortion law and the responses from the left. Then we talked about unitarianism as a lead-in to the appointment of an atheist as the chief chaplain at Harvard (there is an historical connection), and

Radio Free Geneva: Atheists, William Lane Craig, Warren McGrew

James White, March 17, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics

We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig’s comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with the assertion made by Warren McGrew that 2 Timothy 1:9 is

Conversion Bills, Great Reset News, Romans 13 Revisited

James White, February 11, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Offense, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

The title hard does it justice. Covered a lot of ground, including Bill C6 in Canada, the Victorian legislation in Australia, Jake Tapper tweeted an absurd hit piece on Tom Buck, Karen Swallow Prior vowing to never vote for a Republican again, LeCrae and non-partisan performances, Baylor collapsing to the LGBTQ revolution, Disney firing Gina Carano, the Religion of the

James White, February 2, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Tomb Issues

Went a long time today (1:45) and covered a lot of ground. Started off responding to JD Greear’s joining of the “don’t point out the worldview of the new regime, and especially of Kamala Harris, stands directly in parallel with that of Jezebel, let alone proclaim that judgment will come upon all who promote such rebellion in our day” group

TikTok Lady Theologian Refuted, Comments on Dr. MacArthur and Losing Down Here

James White, January 27, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a thorough review of a United Methodist woman’s claims about the Bible and homosexuality, working through key texts. Then listened to what Dr. MacArthur said about postmillenialism and “losing down here,” and offered a response. Hope we get to do another program, but must admit, we said more than enough on this one program to have us removed in

The Pope, the Red Pill, the Muslims, and John Piper

James White, October 22, 2020, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Pope Francis certainly gave us plenty to talk about and so we did, but connecting the current controversy to a wider reality about his beliefs. We then looked at Tim Staples trying to deal with the Roman Catholic view of Islam as found in Lumen Gentium 16, so if you are dealing with Roman Catholicism, this show should be helpful.

A Little Covid Madness at the Start, then the Hyper Skepticism of the TR Only Movement in Light of Mark 1:1

James White, October 6, 2020, Atheism, CBGM, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Read the Great Barrington Declaration and talked a little bit about my hopes that common sense will finally overthrow the tyranny that has entrapped most of the globe, and then completely changed directions and launched into a discussion of the wealth and value of the Greek manuscript tradition in light of the hyper skepticism expressed by Jeffrey Riddle during our

Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden? The Real Issue with TR Onlyism

James White, October 5, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Two topics on today’s 70 minute program: first, we look at the statement from a group called Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden, and demonstrate that the influence of neo-Marxism upon the Woke Church is truly profound. Then I did a lengthy review of the debate we did this weekend with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on the Critical Text vs. TR Only positions

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

Supreme Court, BLM, Thabiti, 2 Cor. 4:4

James White, June 16, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started out with a discussion of the Supreme Court’s redefinition of “sex” from 1964 and the resultant degradation of morality and law in the United States. Then looked at the totalitarian movement of Black Lives Matter, and their promotion of transgenderism. Then we simply had to read through the thread of tweets posted by Thabiti Anyabwile wherein he states “Until

Critical Theory, Race, Reconciliation, then Phone Calls on Great Topics

James White, June 5, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off reading a comment from Dr. James Lindsay about Critical Race Theory and the concept of “reconciliation,” and followed up with some more discussion on the “woke church.” Then we took calls on such topics as detecting if your church is going down the “woke” path and when you would have to leave, where we have to draw the

Critical Theory Issues in Recent Events, Memes and Screen Shots, Leighton Flowers and Apologetics

James White, June 4, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

A mega edition of the DL today, two full hours, covering tons of current events with the social justice revolutionaries both outside and inside the church for the first 1:10. Last 50 minutes focused on a tweet from Leighton Flowers saying Calvinism and Apologetics do not mix. We listened to and critiqued an on-line exchange on the topic of God’s

Pope Francis, Dan Barker, Bad Bad Twitter Man, Wilson vs. “Augustine Actual”

James White, May 12, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

This will be my only program this week—don’t worry, we have a special guest filling in on Thursday (I have to head out of town quickly). So we went long, a full two hours. Covered a ton of topics from Pope Francis’ call for “believers of all religions” to join in asking God to “help us” with coronavirus, Dan Barker’s

Mormon Understanding of Predestination, Kenneth Copeland at 83, More on Manichaeism and Ken Wilson

James White, April 6, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Looked at some comments from one of the LDS Apostles at the “sort of” virtual General Conference in Salt Lake yesterday on the topic of the nature of God. Then we watched Kenneth Copeland and his chorus spitting at coronavirus—seriously. Finally, listened to a few more comments from Leighton Flowers and Ken Wilson relating to church history. Also, at the

Jonathan Merritt Uses Slavery as a Cover for Slander, then Bart Ehrman’s Ideal God

James White, January 23, 2020, Atheism, General Apologetics, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Responded to the following slander from Jonathan Merritt, provided the context, etc., and discussed a great deal (nearly an hour) on slavery, historical contexts, Biblical interpretation, etc., and the fact that, basically, you just aren’t allowed to let the Bible speak for itself any longer. Then looked at Bart Ehrman’s 2017 Christmas thoughts with a focus upon the “God of

Commentary on Apologetics from a Review of Portions of the Dillahunty/Scrivener Dialogue

James White, January 14, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Used the comments made by Matt Dillahunty and Glen Scrivener on the Unbelievable program as a platform for a discussion of apologetic methodology and application today on the program, going just under 90 minutes. This included definitions of presuppositionalism as well as a short discussion of slavery in the Bible as well. Last program till next week due to the

Started off the program with a look at James 3 in light of the arrival of 2020 and the challenges we will be facing therein. Moved on to discuss the totalitarian Left and its attack upon everything that is godly and true. We connected this to the recent “trans-gender” decision in the UK. Then we discussed Pope Francis’ comments about

Covered a wide variety of things including a little bit about the miracle of baby August, possible conversations with family members over Christmas regarding the Bible (taking from Sye’s debate with Matt Dillahunty), and a brief discussion of Pope Francis’ comments concerning Mary as co-redemptrix with Christ. We plan on doing programs on Wednesday and Friday as well.

Richard Dawkins and Diane Gaskins: A Study in Seeking Consistency and Fairness

James White, December 10, 2019, Atheism, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at the comments of Richard Dawkins from his relatively new book, Outgrowing God, wherein he demonstrates a fundamental unwillingness to accurately represent the object of his disdain, that being Christianity. Then we began looking at Diane Gaskins’ article attacking Rosaria Butterfield. We will continue that analysis on the next program.

Brief Thoughts on the Ehrman/Williams Dialogue and the Licona/Howe Dialogue, Then Open Phones

James White, November 22, 2019, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

I guess inerrancy was the theme in looking at just a few portions of the discussion between Peter Williams and Bart Ehrman on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable program and then Mike Licona’s discussion with Richard Howe. After that we tried to sneak callers in for the last 15 minutes…and ended up going half an hour, so, 75 minutes total.
