Get Ready: Two and a Half Hour Long Dividing Line

James White, September 1, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

There were three major topics on the DL today (after the opening discussion of some urgent situations where the people of God need to bring certain issues before the throne of grace): first, an article published today on Revelation 16:5 and the Textus Receptus; then, a rather lengthy review of Andy Stanley’s sermon from Sunday on the Bible and Christianity.

The Difference in Jesus’ Divine Role Does NOT Indicate Inferiority of Nature

Dr. Alan Kurschner, September 1, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses

There is a frequent assumption, and/or misunderstanding, that unbelievers frequently expresss about the Trinity. As a believer you should be aware of this. James White on occasion says: Difference in function does not indicate inferiority of nature. For many who deny the Trinity or the deity of Jesus, it is thought that since Jesus fulfilled a lesser (subordinate) role in

Ignatius and Church History, Andy Stanley, Ravi Zacharias, Epistemology, 1 Corinthians 1:18ff

James White, August 30, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went just over 90 minutes today on the program, wandering about a bit at the start on church history issues and Ignatius, and then moving on to discuss the Andy Stanley comments in the interview with Russell Moore, finishing off with a half hour plus walk-through of 1 Corinthians 1:18ff. Theology matters! Here is the YouTube link:

Dr. Licona Ignores Me; Alan Ruhl and the Roman Priesthood; Steve Tassi On the Non-Debate

James White, August 23, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Briefly commented on Dr. Mike Licona’s “I don’t pay attention to White” statement on Facebook—noting that just a few months ago he paid enough attention to promote a debate challenge from a fellow who was told by God to debate me on Calvinism. Sorta ironic. Anyway, spent the vast majority of the program responding to this article from Alan Ruhl,

Was Mark Confused? Birth Narratives? Original Readings?

James White, August 18, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line

Did more than a Jumbo, but less than a Mega, today (1:45), responding to video clips posted by Yahya Snow mainly from the comments of Dr. Mike Licona wherein he said Mark was confused as to the location of the feeding of the five thousand, etc. Lots of discussion of inspiration, inerrancy, synoptic issues, allegations of contradiction, etc. Not an

Responding to William Lane Craig on Roman Catholicism Then Brief Discussion of Anti-Reformed Rhetoric

James White, August 16, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent nearly 90 minutes listening to the entire presentation by William Lane Craig on Roman Catholicism. No one can accuse us of misrepresenting him, to be sure! A vital discussion of why the “Mere Christianity” movement is unbiblical, dangerous, and untenable in the long run. Then a brief review of my trip to California this weekend, my attempted interaction with

“The Romans 9 Debate:” My Reviews In One Place

Rich Pierce, August 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I have had a number of questions lately about this debate and have found a need to put my review series in one place. So here they are. By the way. Dr. Flowers has voiced great objections to my pointing out his behavior and methods in these reviews. Keep in mind, this was a review of the debate on the

Wood, Qureshi, Dunn

James White, August 2, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Misc, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off announcing tomorrow’s show with Jeff Durbin, and playing a few clips reminding folks that yes, in fact, the “meme” over the past few weeks has in fact been, “Hey, those Apologia guys held a beer and tattoo fund raiser, and that’s foolishness.” Then I moved over to the David Wood response to Seth Dunn regarding Nabeel Qureshi. I

A Few Comments in Response to the GOCC and GMA, Plus Psalm 2

James White, July 28, 2016, Christian Worldview, Hebrew Israelism, The Dividing Line

Regular length program today, spending most of the time discussing some Hebrew Israelite videos about yours truly, and then included some comments on Psalm 2. I mentioned a devotional I did last evening at PRBC on Psalm 2, and here is the link. Here is the YouTube link:

A Jumbo Mega Dividing Line—If That Makes Sense

James White, July 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Three sections to today’s 2 hour, 20 minute long program: first, we responded to Jacob Prasch’s reply to last weeks Radio Free Geneva. But unlike Prasch, we played his comments not just once, but twice, carefully analyzing his entire response as a classic example of a complete abandonment of proper forms of argumentation and logic. Very helpful for those who

A New Journal – Call for Articles

Jeff Downs, July 19, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics

Do you or someone you know (sounds like a commercial) have a special interest in the following area: cults, the occult, new religious movement, world religions, and general apologetics? If so please

Why All Lives Matter

James White, July 8, 2016, Christian Worldview, Musings

Black Lives Matter! Police Lives Matter! All Lives Matter! And so goes the chanting, the memes, the blog posts, the Facebook arguments. And in the midst of it all, something fundamental is being missed. Sure, there is a great deal of emotion right now. The thin skin of civilization has been punctured and we are all aware (even if we

The March of the Totalitarians, BHI Craziness, Judging From Afar Rebuked

James White, July 4, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Quickly mentioned some of the evidence of the rise of totalitarianism in the United States, then made note of some of the wild videos showing a huge response to our addressing Hebrew Israelism, and finished up with a rather passionate response to JD Hall and Christian News and the attack upon Apologia Church. Here is the YouTube link:

KJVO Discussion, the Pope Escapes His Handlers Again, Debate Tomorrow, the Trinitarian Controversy

James White, June 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a WIDE range of topics today. Started off expressing our deep condolences to Tony Bartolucci and his family in the death of his daughter Giana. Then we discussed the debate we will be doing tomorrow at 4pm with representatives of the Hebrew Israelite movement. Moved from there to a discussion of Jeremiah 34:16 and Romans 13:9 and King James

More on Simple Truthfulness and Consistency, Steve Hays Melts Down, Quick Review of Oneness Advocate Steve Ritchie

James White, June 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went over some developments in the Orlando situation and once again had to address the insanity of asserting that there is only one monolithic Islam and that everything done in the world by anyone who yells “Allahu Akbar!” is to be held to the account of every single Muslim on the planet. Then we noted the melt-down of Steve Hays

Responding to Orlando

James White, June 13, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Many thoughts, many considerations, hopefully helpful, hopefully challenging, maybe controversial. Offered for your consideration. Here is the YouTube link:

An Arminian Loses Psalm 33:10-11, SES and Rome, the Comma Johanneum Once Again

James White, June 10, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off reviewing this article about Psalm 33 and noting that the Arminian author sort of skipped over the actual text that I was referring to. Then we took some time to read some quotes from Evangelical Exodus and discuss the fact that synergistic Thomism is a pretty fertile field out of which to grow Romanists. And then we finished up

William Lane Craig, the Lowered Bar, Molinism, and Erasmus

James White, June 7, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Examined the William Lane Craig clip that started circulating a few days ago about inerrancy and evangelism and apologetics, once again focusing upon the fundamental distinctions that arise when one is Reformed and when one is not in the area of apologetics. Then turned our attention to Erasmus and conjectural emendation, finishing up with a discussion of inerrancy and the

No Creator, No Humanity, or, Of Apes and Men

James White, May 31, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Misc, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Had to tackle the gorilla story, along with the “I decided to live as a goat” story, all illustrative of what happens when your society spits in God’s face and goes it alone. Then talked a little about ReformCon this week and what I will be addressing, and finished up with a bit of a discussion about the exposure of

The Didache, P45, Washingtonianus, and More!

James White, May 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a jumbo edition today covering a wide variety of topics but eventually focusing on the BBC clip played in our debate in South Africa about the Didache. Read the entire work, and then in the last thirty minutes did some manuscript/papyri stuff that only geeks will enjoy! As I mentioned at the end of the program, I have no

Various Articles and Open Phones

James White, April 28, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with various articles that I’ve collected, one by a Roman Catholic taking cheap shots at me, others on the continuing degradation of our society and the rise of totalitarianism. Then we opened up the phones and took calls on such subjects as the regulative principle of worship (actually got into the exclusive psalmody and instruments in worship debate

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, April 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off talking with Mike O’Fallon from Geneva, Switzerland about our upcoming cruise to Alaska in September (don’t miss out!), and then played a clip from a recent Kent Hovind video where, irony of ironies, he is accused of doing everything Gail Riplinger accused me of doing—which he himself repeated and promoted! Well, what goes around comes around, as they

Western Rush to Moral Anarchy and Paul Williams at Speaker’s Corner

James White, April 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, The Dividing Line

Pretty well split the program in half, the first being on developments in the ongoing rush to rid Western culture of the last vestiges of civilization and morality, and the second focusing upon Muslim apologist Paul Williams and his comments at Speaker’s Corner in London. Would love to challenge Williams to defend his statements in public debate on May 13th

Submitted Scholarship

James White, April 19, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I had never heard anyone use the phrase before, to be honest. But I had to think of some way to describe scholarship that, at its core, its foundation, is distinctly Christian. Specifically, how to describe Christian scholarship that, as an open presupposition and confession submits itself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas, including all areas of

Twitter Questions, The Boss, The Pope, and More Ethnic Gnosticism

James White, April 12, 2016, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off today with a couple of Twitter questions (including one on Eastern Orthodoxy), then covered Springsteen’s view of transgender warriors as “freedom fighters,” the Pope’s “studied ambiguity” in his new statement, and toward the end of the hour I responded to BlackCalvinist’s piece accusing me of…well, all sorts of things, actually. Here is the YouTube link:

Enns, Mouw, and the Foundation of Scripture

James White, April 7, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide range of themes but tried, anyway, to connect them together. Will let you judge if I succeeded! Discussed a little bit of Peter Enns’ new book, noted Dr. Mouw’s continued white-washing of Mormonism, etc. Toward the end started looking at some Muslim issues as well. Here is the YouTube link:

The Popes, Rachel Held Evans, Desiring God, Nabeel Qureshi on Unbelievable Mega Show

James White, April 5, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Put together a full mega sized DL today, starting off with the obvious differences between the two currently living Popes and then doing nearly 70 minutes on a Rachel Held Evans article and a few articles that have appeared recently on the Desiring God website (John Piper’s ministry), but then throwing in another half an hour on a recent Unbelievable

Colossians 1 and Reconciliation

James White, March 31, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Looked at Colossians 1:15-23 today and asked “what is reconciliation” and, toward the end of the hour, what of this mantra of “racial reconciliation”? What does this mean? Here is the YouTube link:

Gospel Lenses and the Search for Allies (Updated with Full Response)

James White, March 30, 2016, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Theology Matters

Please see the addition of a full response to Ekemini Uwan added at the end of this post. Last week I ran afoul of the ever-present issue of political correctness when I posted a brief video of a young man flipping off a passing police car, wearing his shorts around his thighs (his underwear was red as well, so it

Atheism; No Good Reason

Jeff Downs, March 26, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics

This morning we held our third Learning at Lebanon Seminar at Lebanon Presbyterian Church, Abbeville, SC. Dustin Segers was our guest speaker addressing the topic, “No Good Reason to be An Atheist.” The audio is now available by clicking here. Dustin also addressed the same topic back in 2006 at our No Other gods Conference. The audio (much different) is

Ethnic Gnosticism and the Gospel

James White, March 22, 2016, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

So I had my opportunity to respond to the firestorm of criticism that erupted over the weekend regarding a 545 word, 2 paragraph item I posted on FaceBook last Friday. In this Dividing Line I address the issue of fatherlessness, Planned Parenthood’s genocide of blacks, the sin of rebellion and disrespect for God-ordained authority, and, most importantly, the fact that
