James White, April 24, 2020, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Technology, The Dividing Line

Our good friend and brother Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute joined us for the first hour to talk all things science and the faith, and in the last half hour we talked mainly about Pope Francis’ comments about the earth being upset with us. Also a small amount of discussion regarding Qumran right at the end.

Qumran and the Sovereign God, Athanasius and Context

James White, April 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a lot of reading again today, reading from the Thanksgiving Psalms from Qumran, from Isaiah and the Psalter, and then moving on to read from Athanasius’ Against the Arians regarding the Son’s eternal nature. Tomorrow we will be joined by Jason Lisle, so make sure to join us live at 1pm EDT!

Mylo Hatzenbuhler Live, Gnosticism, Jonathan Merritt, and the Dangers of Home Schooling

James White, April 20, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Was joined at the top of the hour by the one and only Mylo Hatzenbuhler (Clyde Bauman) who performed for us his new song, “Hand Sanitizer,” and discussed life as the greatest living farm-themed rock star (and he really is). Then we talked a little Gnosticism, Jonathan Merritt’s apostasy, and the Arizona Law Journal article warning about the “dangers” of

A Meandering Discussion of Eternal Punishment, Hell, Conditionalism and Gnosticism

James White, April 17, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Finished off five straight days of Dividing Lines (9 total hours) with a meandering discussion of conditionalism in response to a video Chris Date posted a while back responding to my comments about Bart Ehrman. That took me to Irenaeus at one point, which accidentally led me off into Sophia and the demiurge and Gnosticism—but I found my way back

Seb Goldswain, Big Brother Announces His Rulership, Leighton Flowers Goes Full-On Pelagian

James White, April 16, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Persecution, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a visit from the “Jazzy Segovia of South Africa,” my Christian brother Sebastian Goldwain. Seb lives just outside Durban, and we’ve been able to get together a few times when I’ve been down there. He is a guitar virtuoso, a real talent, and he joined us for the first 45 minutes to talk music, the lock down,

Four Phone Calls, Rod Dreher, Leighton MSNBCs

James White, April 15, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Another Mega edition of the DL today (what are we going to do IF we ever get let out of jail?) marking five and a half hours worth so far this week alone! We are single-handedly attempting to get the economy going on our own! Started off with four great phone calls on a bunch of good topics, then briefly

Remembering LDS Outreach, Cyprian to the Martyrs in the Mines, Further Ken Wilson Examination

James White, April 14, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Mormonism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started off reminiscing about our LDS outreach from long ago, looking at my old copies of the Triple Combination. Then we gave background on the great martyr bishop Cyprian, and read his entire epistle to the Christians imprisoned in the mines, a truly challenging work. Then we returned to listening to the 2018 interview by Leighton Flower of Ken Wilson.

Answering an Audience Question about Textual Views in the Eldership, Continuing with the Flowers/Wilson Interview

James White, April 7, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Answered an audience question from an old friend about how to handle differences in the pastoral staff on the issue of textual critical theory, and then got back into the Flowers/Wilson debate. Had to explain a few more things about Manichaeism that are, well, somewhat adult in their orientation, so keep that in mind. Will be on Chris Arnzen’s Iron

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

Jeff and James Compete, R. Scott Clark Decalvinizes Me, More of Leighton Flowers and Ken Wilson

James White, April 1, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started with a little video that Apologia Studios put together (thanks to Carman and Isaac) of Jeff and I competing in the apologists’ bracket, and then looked at a tweet from R. Scott Clark kicking me out of Reformedville (well, nothing overly new there), before moving back to the 2018 interview with Leighton Flowers and Ken Wilson. Last program for

Arresting Pastors, NT Wright Badly Wrong, Ken Wilson Interview Started

James White, March 31, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Tomb Issues

Discussed a little about the arrest of Rodney Howard Browne, looked at NT Wright’s sad article in Time.com, and then dove into the important historical issues related to the claims of Ken Wilson from his 2018 interview with Leighton Flowers. Will be back tomorrow again!

Psalm 90, and Then a Few Comments on the SBC

James White, March 26, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent most of the program on the 90th Psalm, looking at it from the aspects of both the Hebrew and the Greek Septuagint, and its important message for us today. Then a few comments in response to Ken Wilson, and then a few comments on the cancellation of the SBC summer meeting, and hence the extension of the current president,

Open Phones on the Third Dividing Line of Coronavirus Week #1

James White, March 19, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Answered a few questions from listeners on the last show at the start (just realized I forgot to answer one that I will make a note of!) and then went straight to the phones with an amazingly wide variety of calls and topics…a little something for everyone! One call was on Hebrews 3:16 and why it differs between the KJV

Mortality, Books to Read, and a Quick Response on Romans 8

James White, March 17, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first half of the show talking about mortality and the societal choices we have made regarding danger and death. Then we talked about books to read during this time where there are no sports, no movies, etc., and then we looked (quickly) at what Leighton Flowers said about the issue of faith in Romans 8. Somewhere in there

Covid-19 is a Darwinist’s Dream, Two Full Hours in Response to David Allen

James White, March 11, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent 20 minutes noting that in a Darwinian world, Covid-19 is a moral good. Listen and think it through. Then we did 140 minutes of response to Dr. David Allen’s three-part response to our discussion of Romans 8:31-34. This goes deeply into the “Provisionist” perspective and its elevation of “believer” to the ultimate status of determination of all things in

Interview: Predestination vs. Fatalism, Romel Ghossain, Midnight Cry, Australia, 3/20/2012

James White, March 5, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics

On March 20, 2012 James was interviewed on the Midnight Cry television program in Australia. The topic was Predestination vs. Fatalism, especially as it relates to Islam.

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, February 27, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I wish there was a way for me to easily make notation of all the topics when we do open phones, but alas, I have not mastered that skill. So we talked about Mormonism and textual criticism and inerrancy and even a call about the Christian view of medical intervention for someone who is truly (genetically) intersexed! Also had a

Seven Topics on Today’s 1:45 Long Dividing Line

James White, February 25, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

No, I wasn’t going for the perfect number, it just turned out that way. But we looked at a video of a BYU professor talking about the removal of homosexuality from the honor code, and how this is related to one’s “testimony of the Brethren.” Fascinating days in Utah! Then we talked about Doug Wilson’s comments on the Christianity Today

I Expected This Much Earlier

James White, February 14, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism

So, you are inferior to the homosexual profaners of marriage!

Is the Trinity Essential? And Much More

James White, February 11, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a new Reasonable Faith video featuring William Lane Craig and the question “Is the Trinity Essential?” Half an hour on that one. Then we looked at Bart Ehrman’s claims about Jesus, heaven and hell, another half hour. Then we picked up a few topics, including Pete Buttigieg, a guy named Dave Barnhart, rapper Flame’s conversion to Lutheranism,

There Are No Husbands in This Picture

James White, February 8, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism

No, I did not expect it in my lifetime, at least, not until the last few years anyway, when the accelerator was slammed into the floorboard of the immoral revolution, and the truly rotted-out nature of the moral fabric of our culture became very, very clear. There was a day when the nation as a whole would have drawn back

All the Dishes in the Kitchen Sink

James White, February 6, 2020, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The title for today’s program came from Rich. Blame him. Started off talking about the quotation I had posted on Facebook and all the guesses—none of which were right. The quotation was from Dr. Yasir Qadhi, so I fleshed that out as far as worldviews, evangelism, apologetics, etc. Then we discussed the wishful effort to “orthodoxicize” Martin Luther King’s views

Theonomy

James White, January 31, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

I do not fully understand the inner workings of Facebook. When folks tag me on my timeline I get these posts I have to either publish or hide. And when I do so, I end up with a page of stuff going back years. I keep hitting “hide” and then it happens the next time, with more stuff, even older.

Cruise Details, Joe Biden, Tim Keller

James White, January 28, 2020, Christian Worldview, Federal Vision, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Mike O’Fallon joined us to talk about the Rome/Greece/Israel cruise and the fact that our low group rates will end in just a few days (2/1). Then we looked at Joe Biden’s amazing assertion that transgender rights are “basic human rights,” and the worldview that now pervades the leftist movement in the West. Then we took at look at Tim

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

KJB Fundy Numerology, Flowers’ Unwanted Child, RNS Opinion Piece on Cone

James White, January 13, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to get the silly stuff out of the way first, so we looked at Andrew Sluder’s “KJB Numerology” where he uses verse numbers and their position in the Bible to prove its inspiration. Then we got serious and read through a Soteriology 101 article and dealt with its man-centeredness. Finished off with an RNS opinion piece that alleged that

James 3, China, the UK, and the Pope!

James White, December 27, 2019, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

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

Debate: Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons? with Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia 11/13/2019

Chris Whisonant, December 26, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam

On November 13, 2019, James White debated Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA on the topic Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons?

Bethel Church and Miracles, Rosaria Butterfield, Gender Pronouns, and the Post-Obergefell World

James White, December 20, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Took the first half of the program to consider miracles, the Christian, resurrection, and the current events at Bethel Church in California. Then we looked at the issue of pronoun usage in the post-Obergefell world with some insights from Rosaria Butterfield who has changed her view on the topic in light of Obergefell.

A Mixed Bag Including Possible Holiday Discussions with Unbelieving Family Members

James White, December 16, 2019, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Federal Vision, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

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.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving, a Bit More Cone, Matt Hall and CRT

James White, November 26, 2019, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Well Thanksgiving is coming up so we spent some time talking about thanks, contentment, etc., from a biblical perspective. Then we moved back to reading a bit from James Cone, made application to Talbert Swan, and then moved from there to an article recently posted from Dr. Matt Hall at SBTS regarding “racial reconciliation.” We asked some honest questions of
