The King James Bible Debate with Nathan Cravatt

, , Church History, King James Onlyism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

We were joined by Nathan Cravatt who did a King James Bible debate a few weeks ago, deep in the heart of KJVO country. We discussed his background and how the debate went, and played and discussed some clips as well. Nearly 75 minutes of helpful discussion especially if you have fundamentalist friends caught up in the KJV Only movement.

FDA Goes Warp Speed, Todd Friel Wears Pinwheels

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Reported a bit more on the Road Trip, including playing a song we learned during the conference in Idaho (it’s a right catchy tune that works real well if you have a peg leg and a hook hand), commented on the FDA approving vaccines for last year’s virus at warp speed, and finally listened to the now infamous Todd Friel

The Episode to Treat Insomnia

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yeah, I know. I did warn everyone beforehand saying this would be a seminary-level program, and, well, it was. Just a little discussion of today’s journey and where I am before getting into Gregory’s confession of faith once again. For some reason I really felt like I need to provide a lot of background information today, so, I did. After

Roadtrip DL #2: A&O Seminary Study Continues

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had a problem getting things to work back home and had to restart, but we go through a full discussion of Calvin’s view of the Father, Son and Spirit in the Institutes, I:XIII:19-21. Gave a good bit of background information, too. An important study, I hope you will be blessed! Also, I gave to quotes, one each from Blaise

Road Trip Dividing Line #1!

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

I can’t tell you how long I’ve been dreaming about today! I am on day #1 of 22 on the road. Today was a big, big test, with some of the longest, steepest climbs in all of my trip. I did not know, until today, if our truck/5th wheel combination would handle today (the unit would be heavy due to

Thoughts on the Legacy Standard Bible and CBGM, Roman Catholic Topics

, , CBGM, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Spent some time talking about how Australia has fallen into the pit of totalitarianism, then did an unplanned discussion of the Legacy Standard Bible’s reading at Jude 5 and the upcoming ECM volumes (and CBGM data) for Mark that will be available in about three weeks. Moved from there to a discussion of the “debate” of some kind between Michael

A Packed Program

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Not the most descriptive title, is it? Basically covered more on the SBC plagiarism scandal, reviewing some of what I included in my article about Tim Keller’s “being a heterosexual won’t get you to heaven” silliness, and how it was picked up by, and repeated by, so many others. We looked at the Docent Research Group, and wondered out loud

Mobile DL: Big Brother Keeps at It, Lessons from Litton, More on the Divine Truth About the Trinity

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did another program from up here in Prescott Valley, Arizona, looking at some amazing actions of Big Brother as he seeks to establish his totalitarian regime. Then we looked at the amazing documentation coming out about the blatant plagiarization of sermon material by Ed Litton, the new President of the SBC, and finished up at the end with more exciting

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

So I am thrilled to be on my first day of a “test run” with the new A&O “mobile command center,” our 5th wheel unit that I will be using to do a major western loop at the end of July into mid August, and then across the nation to G3 at the end of September as well. The truck/trailer

First DL from Mobile Command Center, Then Dale Tuggy Punches Low

We did our very first live DL from our new mobile command center, aka, our 5th wheel unit that will be my living quarters as I travel around the US in the future (starting at the end of next month with a nearly 4000 mile loop around the western US, followed by my journey to Atlanta for the G3 Conference

Speaking the Truth Is Dangerous Today/More on Jimmy Akin and Sola Scriptura

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

The first half hour was focused on three videos most of us saw over the past week, looking at the tremendous problems in the black community in Chicago related to violence and crime, and how all of it goes back to fatherlessness and a fundamental rejection of God’s law concerning the family and sexual activity. Then in the second half

Big Brother Tweets, FB Discussion, Junias, and Sola Scriptura

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Joe Biden told everyone their choice is clear: live in masks or take Dr. Fauci’s Genetic Wonder Oil via tweet right as the program started, so we talked about that a bit. Spent about twenty minutes on the assertion that the ESV is “removing” things from the Bible in reference to effeminacy, etc., then moved to a quick overview of

“White Nature,” the 1946 Lie, Jimmy Akin

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Three main topics today on a 75 minute edition of the Dividing Line: first, asking what Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, means by “white nature” and where this concept comes from. Second, we look at the trailer for the 1946 movie that is being fund-raised for right now regarding the alleged “mistake” in translating arsenokoites at 1

Vanishing Freedoms and More Interaction with Trent Horn on Church History

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First half an hour or so we talked about Covid and passports and freedoms and the like, then we moved into looking at Trent Horn’s response to a small portion of our discussion of his 2019 Catholic Answers talk on Protestant “distortions” of church history, focusing upon the idea of “the argument from silence.” Almost an hour and 45 minutes

Rebuttal of Hank Hanegraaff on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Over the weekend I was directed to a video presentation of Hank Hanegraaff not only promoting the perpetual virginity of Mary, but apologizing for having ever done otherwise. I felt it was appropriate, and actually necessary, to respond to his arguments. But, we started off with the historical background you will never hear from those promoting the belief. An hour

Marty Duren and Big Eva, Vaccine Passports, and then Open Phones

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a reminder that we are fast approaching (later this week) the 500th anniversary of Luther’s appearance at the Diet of Worms, and discussed the significance of that. Then we covered a few topics like Marty Duren’s hit-piece on Faultlines by Voddie Baucham and the coming vaccine passports (in light of the volcanic eruption down in the Caribbean),

UN’s “Equiterra” Exposed, Trent Horn Response Continued

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

We looked at the UN’s strange, Marxist utopian vision in “Equiterra,” and pointed out that a biblical understanding of man exposes the foolishness of this humanistic vision. Then we took some time to dive into Acts 2:23 exegetically in light of the dispute that erupted over Dr. Buice’s comments about the crucifixion. Then we continued our response to Trent Horn’s

Various Woke Explosions, Tim Keller, then Trent Horn

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Managed to keep things relatively short today after yesterday’s two and a half hour marathon, going only an hour and twenty minutes today. Looked at various “woke explosions,” including the published commentary from Dr. Willie James Jennings of Yale on the book of Acts. Then we got back into Trent Horn’s presentation on church fathers from 2019, going into some

Two And A Half Hours? What?

, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Open Theism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Yeah, well, there you go! And another program tomorrow! Stuff started piling up, so, we went long. Started off with Cambridge, MA legalizing polyamory, discussed what is motivating this degradation of the entire culture, discussed Rome’s refusal to bless same-sex marriages, and looked at bit at the centrality of a Christian worldview. Then transitioned into Michael Lofton’s opening statement in

A Tribute to Rushbo, Prayer for James Coates, Augustine and Zosimus

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Almost went two hours today (sorry!), but we went in depth in our response to Trent Horn on the subject of Augustine’s allegedly saying, “Rome has spoken, the case is closed.” That took up the vast majority of our time (including looking at the “I would not believe the gospel except for the testimony of the Catholic Church” quote), but

Conversion Bills, Great Reset News, Romans 13 Revisited

, , 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

A Biblical Case for Civil Disobedience & the Right Use of Romans 13

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Uncategorized

The following is a combined text of five articles by Tim Cantrell, originally published as separate blog articles, on the topic of Romans 13, etc. I made reference to this series today on the Dividing Line. This is an excellent study to go along with my comments on the program today. Clearly, Tim is ministering outside the US context, as

Where Do We Go From Here? Staying Faithful in the Future+

Where Do We Go From Here? Staying Faithful in the Future

, , Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

As we watch with amazement the rapid transformation of Western culture in our day the question is: how do we remain faithful? I truly shared my heart today as I looked at an article about how the Chinese Communist Party “re-educates” Uighur Muslims and used it as a basis for laying out some basics for all of us at this

Vaccines, Lindsay, KJV Onlyism, Roman Catholic Apologetics Arguments

There were two major topics I forgot to address on yesterday’s show that I managed to get covered today (KJV Only arguments, Roman Catholic claims), and I had to talk a bit about some more claims about the Covid vaccines. But I still forgot again to talk about Chris Hohnholz, one of the hosts of VOR Radio, who, I am

Story Time with Uncle Jimmy, The Scythian Test in Response to J. Ligon Duncan

, , Church History, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Two pretty much equal parts to today’s program: first half a Story Time with Uncle Jimmy where I read some materials from Willam Tyndale that are challenging and yet encouraging. Then we listened to the clip from Dr. Duncan wherein he says that his black friends can properly have trust issues with him because of what people who look like

Who We are Subject To, and a Response to Jimmy Akin on Pope Francis

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first half hour discussing how Jesus, as King, subdues us unto Himself, and what practical meaning that will have in the coming months and years when Caesar demands our submission to him in opposition of Christ. Then I responded to a statement from Jimmy Akin on the topic of debates and specifically why I believe today’s Roman Catholic

Where We Stand: How Church History Can Help, But Only So Far

, , Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism

I have seen many speaking about how generations in the past have encountered and endured persecution, and this is a vitally important truth that we should be speaking of regularly. We should speak to our children, regularly, about the persecuted church, and how we could be called to face the very same kind of physical persecution, suppression, and attacks that
