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

D-Day in the History of Both World Wars then Using Presupposionalism in Apologetics

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

James White, May 31, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

So Chocolate Knox survived, and that’s really all you need to know. Seriously, had a great time having the guys from CrossPolitic on the show today, we chatted about Matt Walsh, Rome’s gospel, and a bunch of other stuff. Enjoy! Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video. Our YouTube channel also provides

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

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

James White, May 21, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

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

Refuting Bradly Mason’s Critical Theory Diatribe, Interacting on “Cultural Marxism,” Live from London

James White, May 1, 2019, Christian Worldview, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a Zoom based DL from London this evening (given we are using hotel wi-fi, I am pretty impressed with Zoom in comparison to Skype) reviewing the entirety of Bradly Mason’s Twitter diatribe accusing everyone who isn’t a devotee of critical theory of being supporters and promoters of white supremacy. Actually did give a brief summary of the trip to

Drawing the Lines: Matt Walsh, Serene Jones, Ron Underwood

James White, April 22, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a live DL from London (Westminster) today via Zoom (worked really well!) discussing how we “draw the lines,” using three examples to provide us with some perspective for this challenging discussion. We looked at Matt Walsh, Roman Catholic, who was interviewed on the CrossPolitic program last week. Then we looked at Serene Jones, head of Union Theological Seminary, and

Cultural Madness, Atonement Issues, Textual Traditionalism

James White, April 3, 2019, Abortion, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A morning DL for us here today, the only program for this week. We started with some commentary on current cultural madness and rapid decline, including a grandmother bearing a child for her homosexual son. Then we looked at issues relating to the atonement, first in comments from Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon on the Mass, and then from William

Live Dividing Line from Las Vegas with Summer of Sheologians (and the Grandkids)

James White, March 20, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Personal, Racialism, The Dividing Line

We did a live program from Las Vegas with Summer Jaeger of Sheologians, together with guest appearances by my grandkids, Janny, Clementine, Waylon and Kadence. We talk feminism and the future and all sorts of things, and discover that I failed completely in having never shown Summer the epic movie Thief in the Night. Here is the YouTube link: Live Video

In Defense of Sound Guys, Oppression and Exegesis, a Bit on Psalm 12 and the Text

James White, March 18, 2019, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Regular length show today (60 minutes!) with some material at the start on the difficult life of the church sound guy (thanks to the Babylon Bee). Then we talked about racialism, oppression, and the interpretation of Scripture (with shout outs to Cross Politic and others), and finished up with a few verses people use to try to make certain points

Reviewing Recent Interactions on Line, then Back to Erasmus and the Text

James White, March 12, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Went over various interactions with folks regarding social justice and the like, including some Anthony Bradley quotes, at the top of the program (actually had a few comments on developments in Mormonism at the very start), and then switched back to Erasmus and the book of Revelation, then engaging with arguments/accusations made from the textual traditionalists. Finished up watching a

Shepherd’s Conference 2019 Q&A: Mohler, Dever, Duncan, MacArthur, Johnson

James White, March 7, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I had intended to cover more than one topic today. Failed miserably. We spent the first half an hour with Pastor Tom Buck who was at the Q&A session of the Shepherd’s Conference yesterday and was able to give us a first-hand report on his impressions of what took place. Then we played a major portion of the Q&A, interacting

Cultural Observations on the Sexual Revolution, Mormonism, Racialism, and Calls

James White, February 21, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Wow, what a mix! Lots of material at the start on true biblical justice, avoiding mobs, how intersectionality eats its own (Martina Navratilova), and the use of the “crisis” to get things done now, even if what you are really doing is just pushing forward your ultimate agenda. Then we took calls on various topics, and then at the end of

A Twitter Convo, David Bernard Podcast on the Trinity, Open Phones

James White, February 14, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Began a rainy DL today with an interaction with a Twitter user (@BlackRepublican) regarding the foundational issues of the faith (once again—and one of the calls from our brother Kofi raised the issue again later), and then moved on to a brief interaction with Dr. David Bernard of the UPCI on the Trinity and soteriology (Bernard is the leading theologian

The Color of Compromise, Steven Anderson Continued, Open Phones

James White, February 7, 2019, Abortion, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Iglesia Ni Christo, King James Onlyism, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Took time to make some comments on Jemar Tisby’s new book, The Color of Compromise. Please note I forgot to read through a key paragraph initially, so after the open phones segment I read that paragraph and made some comments thereon (right at the end of the show). Then we finished up the relevant portions of Steven Anderson’s first video, and

An Ultra Mega Dividing Line (2.5 Hours) Covering…A Ton

James White, February 5, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off the program thanking my hosts in Russia for a wonderful time there. Then we looked at the document produced and signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam, Ahmed el-Tayeb, and commented on its actual content (unlike some articles that skipped that part and just went for the sensationalistic side). Then we commented on the left’s drive for

A Quiet DL (Because James Has Almost No Voice)

James White, January 10, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had some technical issues so the live stream did not go very well today. Talked a bit about the trip to Owensboro and the upcoming G3 Conference. Then looked at a few texts on the biblical teaching on the world’s hatred of the Kingship of Jesus, then looked at the Netherlands and their strong secular move against Christian belief within

The Gospels Reading Plan for 2019

Dr. Alan Kurschner, January 1, 2019, Blog Stuff, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Personal, Resources, Theology Matters

It is about that time of the year when we are introduced to creative ways to read our Bible for the next calendar year. Did you do it this year? This is my eleventh year encouraging others to take each day of the year to read and reflect on a single unit in the Gospels. Did you know there are

About My ERLC Donation Email

James White, December 30, 2018, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Racialism

I received an email soliciting donations for the Southern Baptist ERLC (The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission). I found it quite interesting. It was signed by Brent Leatherwood, “Director of Strategic Partnerships.” It was brief, and began with a paragraph noting how the ERLC had gone to the “next level of gospel ministry” in 2018. There were three ways in

A Remote Dividing Line Discussing Abortion, Gender Issues, and Then Transitioning to More IFB Craziness

James White, December 14, 2018, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Needed to do the program remotely today from my home (and aside from one slip up, it actually worked quite well!). Discussed the amazing (and disgusting) tweets put out by a woman saying “goodbye” to the aborted baby she murdered as if this was an act of love on her part—tough way to start the program, I know. But when

Catching Up on Recent Events Before Leaving Town

James White, November 28, 2018, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Caught up on a number of articles I had saved before I leave tomorrow for St. Charles and other locations (see the banner ads for details). Right before the program started Dr. Michael Brown published an article about Twitter’s banning (ready for this?) “deadnaming.” Yeah. Deadnaming. That’s like when you call Bruce Jenner…Bruce Jenner instead of “Caitlyn.” So, in other

Beth Moore’s Racist Library and Open Phones

James White, November 21, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a report on our dear brother Jeff Durbin’s current condition after a medical issue last evening. Then we looked at a comment from Beth Moore about how you could, I guess, make your library more “inclusive” by considering the color of the skin of the author. You can guess what I said about that. Then we went

ATM Preacher, the Christian Shema, and Open Phones

James White, November 8, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at a “converted” ATM that is now being used to “preach” in a church in Germany, leading to some discussion of egalitarianism and related concepts. Then we commented a bit on the Christian/Muslim debate from last evening, leading to a discussion of 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 and Paul’s “Christian Shema.” Then we took calls on a variety of

Voting, Racialism, TGC Article, Chesterton’s Romanism in a Jumbo DL

James White, November 6, 2018, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Told the story of my voting experience today and talked a little bit about worldview implications at the start, and then turned to a Jemar Tisby series of statements attempting to parallel racial justice issues with the Pharisees and Jesus’ condemnation in Matthew 23. Then we moved to Sam Allberry’s article at TGC on the Sexual Revolution, and finished up

Brandan Robertson on the Death of Christianity, Jared Wilson and Galatians 2, Open Phones with Great Calls!

James White, October 25, 2018, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off briefly reminding folks that A&O is a ministry that depends on individuals for our continued support. Also mentioned that we have a travel fund that allows me to get to all the places I go and minister to many who would not be able to bring me in otherwise. Then we looked at an article Brandan Robertson posted

Is Galatians 2 Relevant to Modern Racial Theory? Michael Heiser and ANE, Brandan Robertson’s Apostacy

James White, October 22, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Looked at Jared C. Wilson’s comments about Galatians 2 and the subject of race, as well as Duke Kwon’s citation of the same text, by looking carefully at Galatians 2 itself in its context. The social justice attempt to read the NT as a social justice document is indeed troubling, especially since Wilson is very much a part of Midwestern’s

Dr. Mason’s The Woke Church’s Misrepresentation, Open Phones

James White, October 18, 2018, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a rebuttal of the misrepresentation published by Dr. Eric Mason in his new book (endorsed by many Reformed leaders) regarding yours truly and the May 11th meme I posted that insists that there is no room for “black spaces” or “white spaces” at the Lord’s Table, but only room for a singular focus upon Christ. This led
