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

The Great Divorce, Provisionism and the God-fearers, NT Wright on Abortion

James White, June 5, 2025, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Lots of different topics covered today, starting with the uproar between Trump and Musk but moving on to wider topics. Then we looked at some comments from Leighton Flowers about “God-fearers,” and finished up with a brief discussion about NT Wright’s defense of abortion in “extreme circumstances.”

Overseers and the Flock in the Digital Age, then, Calvin on the Knowledge of God and Man

James White, June 3, 2025, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a little more than the first half of the program on Acts 20 and Paul’s words to the Ephesian elders asking if it is really so shocking that elders today need to be concerned about what is coming into the fellowship through social media sources. Then, we started reading some of Calvin’s finest work in the opening of the

Matthew 23:37, You Are Not My Sheep, Sacralism Illustrated

James White, May 29, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, DL Shorts, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a few observations about the fact that the US had a shadow, unelected government for four years, and how that should sober anyone up real fast, then we moved into some discussions with the Provisionists about Matthew 23:37 and about Jesus’ statement that “you are not my sheep,” and finally looked for a few minutes at part

Had a lot to report on regarding Thursday’s debate, and talked a bit about Mahler’s abuse of Genesis 9:25-27 as well. Discussed some of the nasty anons like DefiantBaptist and their amazing behavior. Eventually moved to “Catholic Integralism” and Pope Leo XIV, and finished up with some information about the two major (month-plus long) trips in July and September.

Trinity and Transgenderism, The Classical Ponderer, and My Thoughts on the G3 Situation

James White, May 13, 2025, Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Covered a few bookmarks in X I had saved, including an Episcopalian “priestess” who is confused on the Trinity and transgenderism, then an X account called The Classical Ponderer who ripped into me as a coward and a vulture. Then finished with some thoughts on yesterday’s announcement of the cancellation of the G3 Conference in Atlanta and the attendant issues.

Condolences, Leo XIV, Debating Wolfe, Webbon on Excommunications

Started off offering Christian condolences to @SavagelyAverage and @KenFiveSolas on social media, both of whom lost their wives suddenly. Talked a bit about grieving. Then moved on to the new Pope, Leo XIV, and about how an earlier Leo, the Xth, was important in the Reformation. Then we looked at some comments from Stephen Wolfe, and Joel Webbon (on very

Faith, the Qur’an, and the Bible, Online Defense of White Supremacists

James White, May 6, 2025, Christian Worldview, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

A clip from Leighton Flowers comparing the Bible and the Qur’an (from four years ago!) popped up and that resulted in a tweet from LF about debating the topic. We examined that, then talked for a while about the exposure of “Woe” from the Stone Choir and amazingly how those supportive of the rehabilitation of the Nazis and Hitler have

Played J. Chase Davis’ testimony before the Colorado State Senate on the program today regarding the tyrannical and ethically insane HB25-1312 legislation pending up there. May God protect Colorado from this evil! Then I talked about everyone saying I am supposed to be debating Stephen Wolfe, and what we would debate about anyway, then we talked a bit about purgatory,

ReformCon starts tomorrow afternoon, so I am in Tucson and we did the program from the Mobile Command Center once again.

James White, April 1, 2025, Christian Worldview, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Rich worked hard to work on the audio challenges we have had in the past and the changes made it a lot easier for me to play video clips on the program today. So, we looked at Jeff Durbin’s exchange with the Jewish representative in Georgia, and responded to Joel Webbon’s criticism of that exchange. Then we looked at some

A Divided Nation Then Thoughts on Ecumenical Councils

James White, March 18, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Reflected on the deep division that exists in Western Culture today and in the United States in particular, and then moved on to some of the Jay Dyer stuff and the continued need to have an in-depth discussion on the “7th Ecumenical Council,” aka Nicea II.

Excited to be home, but excited to head out in just a matter of weeks for the “Louisiana Loop” that will take me to southern Louisiana for a debate on April 4th, and then to northern Louisiana for a debate on the 10th. Talked a bit about last weekend’s debates as well.

Road Trip DL: Conway; Francis, the Future, then Zeitoun as Evidence

James White, February 24, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Snuck a quick program in today before teaching at the seminary this evening, talking about developments with what seems like the soon passing of Pope Francis, etc. Then we briefly discussed recent conversations concerning Cameron Bertuzzi, a convert to Romanism, and his claim that the supposed appearances of Mary at Zeitoun, Egypt, decades ago provide better evidence for the Christian

A Sorta-Road Trip Dividing Line from Conway, Arkansas

James White, February 21, 2025, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

Drove for eight hours today and arrived safely in Conway, so I got set up and managed to sneak in a quick Dividing Line, discussing upcoming talks, lectures, and debates on this trip, and answering some questions asked on Twitter. Glanced over once and we had over 1,440 people viewing! And now…to sleep!

Still in Phoenix! Why? Explained. Then: More Developments in Rome

James White, February 18, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Explained why I am still here in Phoenix when I was supposed to leave today (I leave tomorrow). But mainly we focused on Pope Francis as well as a video clip attacking sola scriptura. If Francis passes, will you be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities to bear witness to the gospel of grace? This episode might help!

Late day show today wherein we covered the North Dakota abolition vote, Rick Warren’s horrific eisegesis, Bill Craig on Jesus’ “re-incarnation,” Eric Conn and the PWC, and then to a lengthy discussion of Honorius, Francis, and world’s most useless dogma, “Papal Infallibility.”

Developments in the US, Some Tweets I Forgot Tuesday

James White, February 6, 2025, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Caught a few of the amazing stories coming out about how the left has used the US treasury as their own private slush fund, then moved on to a couple of tweets I forgot to cover Tuesday, one from Stephen Wolfe about a biblical theology of climate change, the other from Eric Conn about my desperation and irrelevance. Also covered

That Weird Pointy Hat Procession, then, Stephen Wolfe’s Smarter Worldview

James White, February 4, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Went for a jumbo edition today in the big studio with the big board! Commented briefly about the Roman Catholic penitential procession video that made the rounds a few days ago, then we looked at Stephen Wolfe’s lengthy tweet about the term “worldview” and how we would be better off abandoning it. Hardly surprising, but I disagreed!

The Post War Consensus then Gold from the Prophet Jeremiah

James White, January 24, 2025, Christian Worldview, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I was said to be part of the “PWC crowd” in a statement this morning by a young social media type guy, so we looked at what the PWC is, a bit about R.R. Reno, stuff like that, then switched over to Jeremiah chapter ten and some great jewels provided in God’s glorious Scriptures.

How Denominations Die, How Movements Crash and Burn

James White, January 22, 2025, Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some of the current developments on the world and national stage, then looked at the amazing example of the National Prayer Service yesterday morning in Washington, and the leftist “bishoptrix” at the National Cathedral. How do denominations die? Where do they begin? Then we moved on to how quickly the anon army is abandoning the positions they

Wes Huff on Rogan, Sufficiency of Scripture, Some Calvin Robinson

James White, January 10, 2025, Christian Worldview, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A number of items on the table today including some words from Mel Gibson about the Pope, a discussion of Wes Huff on Rogan, the sufficiency of Scripture, and some more statements from Calvin Robinson prompting us to again ask Joel Webbon whether he would allow Robinson to commit trashworld to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

End of Year Catch Up on Developments in the “Trashworld” Controversy

James White, December 30, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, Misc, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so. Stephen Wolfe chimed in today with a tweet about his viewpoint on issues, so we really had to take some time to consider where this is all going, and what it

Insights from TurretinFan, and More on the Nazi Invasion

James White, December 19, 2024, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Talked a bit about how modern tech is allowing us to “read” ancient scrolls that have been fossilized over time, then looked at some insights, and corrections, from our friend TurretinFan regarding the TR, the book of Revelation, etc. Then transitioned into more recent developments into the influx of Nazi apologists into “Reformed” churches, and the Reformed men who are,

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening.

James White, December 10, 2024, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I am in western Oklahoma, just shy of the Texas panhandle, and I am truly in the middle of nowhere. But, we set up Starlink and got the job done! Pretty much went through a Twitter thread from a fellow named BG Apustaja and replied to his assertions about how I have become “unhinged,” which led to a discussion of

Frozen Road Trip DL: The Supreme Court as a Window into the Degradation of the US

James White, December 5, 2024, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I am parked in the frozen tundra of St. Charles but we still managed to spend an hour talking mainly about the oral arguments presented at the Supreme Court yesterday regarding SB1, Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of chemicals on minors to “transition” them. It was a truly disheartening thing to listen to the entire session and realize that you

Road Trip DL from St. Charles

James White, December 4, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Got a program in from windy, and soon to be very cold, St. Charles Missouri, where I will be speaking on God’s response to the LGBTQ revolution this weekend, the 24th year I have spoken at Covenant of Grace Church. Talked a bit about “Reformedville” and happenings therein, eventually transitioning into the glorious truth of the sufficiency of Scripture from

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

James White, November 21, 2024, Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be “usual” for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new “thing” to be all excited about, “The PWC,” the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central
