The Death of Pope Francis, and the Provisionist Gospel

James White, April 21, 2025, Church History, Debate, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off talking about the passing of Pope Francis, but then connected the topic to the Provisionist denial of the need of the supernatural work of the Spirit of God to bring about spiritual life, showing that in reality, Provisionism has a less biblical anthropology than Rome does.

James White, April 14, 2025, Debate, King James Onlyism, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

On my way home (get home Thursday), currently in Texas, and did a Road Trip DL reporting on the trip, and the encouragement of fine pastors and servants of Christ. Then we did a review of the two debates, commenting on key issues.

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.

Jay Dyer Implodes on the Playground; Yes, Joe, Bishop and Elder are the Same Office

James White, March 13, 2025, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

About halfway through the program we had a power spike due to a storm blowing into Phoenix, but we got it all recorded anyway. First I dealt with the amazing explosion of infantile behavior by one Jay Dyer when I dared actually treat him like an adult in challenging him to defend Nicea II in debate. You won’t believe his

Back from Arkansas, Heading to Louisiana, Two Debates in April, Debate Comments

James White, March 6, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Misc, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

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.

The Ignatian Strawman Extinguished

James White, March 3, 2025, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Though I really wasn’t feeling well after I arrived here in Amarillo, I felt it was absolutely necessary to address the amazingly dishonest attacks that have been launched against me about a single cross-examination question from Saturday night’s debate. So we did a full dive into Ignatius, his writings, the issues with the transmission of those writings, forgeries, you name

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

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!

Debating 101

James White, January 6, 2025, Debate, The Dividing Line

Had so much positive feedback on Twitter when I mentioned possibly doing a program where I just go over debate prep, tools, rules, practice, etc., just had to do it! I didn’t expect it to go nearly two hours, but I guess I should have! Hope you enjoy it!

A Blast from the Past, Marian Devotion, the Book of Abraham

James White, January 2, 2025, Debate, Mormonism, Personal, Resources, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line

A listener sent in the printed schedule of my events from my trip to New York in April of 1998, which I read through as evidence of the fact that Chris Arnzen tried to kill me back then! After a bit of that we looked at some Marian devotion issues relating to the gospel, and then focused in on the

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

Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion

James White, December 12, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and apologist, and Billy Carson, an Internet “influencer” of some kind, and

Wow, covered a lot today! Rich will have to edit out a technical issue we had, but, we managed to get it all covered anyway. A bit about the election, and the amazing endorsement of Kamala Harris by the Babylon Bee! Hard to argue against their reasons! We talked about the Precious Moments figurines with weird connections to wild viewpoints

James White, October 8, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Misc, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a bit on the election, then tied this into the current developments in Rome with Francis making sure his legacy will continue to shift the direction of the Roman Church. Then addressed Joel Webbon’s recent webcast about the now infamous Holocaust meme, and related issues amongst the “Reformed” (that term is just about to collapse due to

The Wisdom of the World, Then Two Important LDS Issues

James White, September 10, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Did an early show today (but still had a large live audience for some reason!) and mainly covered two topics: first, a blog article Phil Johnson wrote 15 years ago that Stephen Wolfe identified as “moronic,” and then two LDS topics that illustrate just how much the Mormon Church has changed over the past forty years. Enjoy!

Your First Love, Response to ADRobles

James White, September 5, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first half of the program looking at Revelation 2:2-5, and then transitioned into listening to ADRobles’ ruminations on last week’s DL about the Crusades. Over ninety minutes in length.

A Slightly Abbreviated DL Today: So How DO You Define the Reformation?

James White, September 3, 2024, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I explained at the start of the program that things had developed that required me to shorten the program and rush off a bit…to get my new (first time) hearing aids! Wow, did you know that the keys on a keyboard make little clicky sounds when you press on them? Who knew? I was pretty surprised they could do it

Final Road Trip Program for This Trip

James White, August 10, 2024, Baptism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Eschatology, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Unusual Saturday program, but travel is that way. Thanked the local churches I ministered in on this trip, then talked a bit about Wednesday’s debate with Jared Longshore, and then finished up with a response to a denial of the imputation of the active and passive obedience of Christ in justification, along with providing a refutation of how that denial

James White, August 5, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A stormy weather DL from Golden, Colorado. Talked about some of the goings on in culture once again, then asked some questions of Eric Conn (hoping for helpful answers!), and finally toward the end looked at some issues regarding the debate with Tim Barber and my insistence that in the future my debate opponents not rely upon pre-written rebuttals and

Another Road Trip DL from Colorado

James White, July 30, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

Started off with details about my upcoming debate with Tim Barber here in Colorado (Open Theism), the conference the next day, preaching on Sunday, and next week’s debate with Jared Longshore. Then had to discuss the degradation of the US’s political system, the obvious (and welcomed by the Marxists) foreign interference, etc. Also discussed a priest’s comments on mortal sin,

Road Trip DL from Santa Fe

James White, July 23, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Started off with all the amazing developments since just last week in Western culture and in the US elections. Addressed the theory that the entire NT was originally written in Hebrew. Then started taking some great Twitter questions once again on a variety of topics. Headed to Colorado Springs tomorrow, should be doing another program on Thursday.

Raffle Winners, the Suicide of the West, God’s Law, the New Hays book, Francis Does It Again

James White, July 9, 2024, Debate, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Had our raffle for the Jeffery Rice rebind and the layered cross Rich made right at the start of the program. Then we talked a bit about Jake Brancatella and a situation in his life, and then dove into the many examples of the suicide of the West that came out over the weekend. We moved to Jonathan Merritt’s article

SCOTUS Madness, Then Open Phones

James White, July 2, 2024, Church Fathers, Debate, Eschatology, Open Phones, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Talked a bit about the insane responses to a common sense SCOTUS decision, then went to the phones, covering Ignatius and the Eucharist (here’s the video I mentioned), what to do when asked to leave a church over Calvinism, supralapsarianism and the divine decree, intinction, Jeremiah 31:33/Romans 2:15, and finally “intellectual dispensationalism.”

Presidential Debate, Latin Mass, the God of Purpose and Glory

James White, June 26, 2024, Debate, Misc, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off today with a few interesting and funny tweets, wished Tom Buck a happy birthday, lamented tomorrow evenings Presidential “debate,” discussed Francis’ detestation of the Latin Mass, and finished up looking at the comments of an open theist concerning God’s decree and his demand that God be as limited and creaturely as the rest of us.
