6th Canon of Nicea, MBTS’s Triggering Book Display Examined

James White, May 12, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Had a little bit of tech difficulty at the start, so I am not completely certain how long we went, but we spent the first part of the program going more in depth on the 6th Canon of Nicea in response to Michael Lofton’s amazing response on YouTube. Basically, we documented that Rome dogmatically tells her apologists what to find

Leaked Roe, Cameron Bertuzzi and Isaiah 22

James White, May 3, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Back in the regular studio for the first time in over a month! Wow, glad to be in the old digs again. Anyway, had to talk a bit about the leaked SCOTUS decision about Roe and the explosion of simple demonic activity all around us. Then we started reviewing some comments made by Cameron Bertuzzi related to Roman Catholicism and

Road Trip DL from Salt Lake City: A Little Riddle, a Little Muller

James White, April 26, 2022, Debate, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, TROnlyism

Was on the road for six hours today but still managed to sneak a program in this afternoon, looking a bit at my discussion with Doug Wilson on “paedocommunion” (he prefers “child communion” and there is, actually, a difference), then responding to Jeffrey Riddle on an odd take on semper Reformanda, and then finishing up with a little discussion on

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva: Frank Turek’s Anti-Reformed Video

James White, April 11, 2022, Debate, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line

This morning Dr. Frank Turek of CrossExamined.org posted a short video clip from one of his many public speaking engagements. You have to give Frank credit, he goes out there and takes the questions. That is appreciated. But the inconsistencies in the answers are why we have often had to comment on what is being said. In this video he

Christian vs. Mormon Debate Review

James White, March 17, 2022, Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I was joined in studio by Daniel Constantino and Oscar Dunlap to discuss their debate with two LDS representatives a few weeks ago at Apologia Church. Goodness, how Mormonism has changed! Almost 90 minutes of discussion, even though I was not able to play much of the debate due to a technical problem with how my computer was connected to

Pale Blue Dots, Philosophy, Feser, and Mt. Carmel

James White, February 22, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yeah, good luck figuring out that title! Covered a lot on a 100 minute program today, from scientism to the Pullmann/Hess debacle back to Aquinas and the Baptists and finishing up with the “Mt. Carmel Challenge.” We definitely covered the waterfront today!

When Words Just Don’t Mean Anything Anymore

James White, February 16, 2022, Debate, Molinism, Personal

On February 13th I posted the following paragraph in three Tweets: It is seriously sad that someone who claims to be a Reformed theologian could parallel God’s freely ordaining “whatsoever comes to pass” with Hydra controlling Bucky’s mind. This is why Molinism creates the myth of MK: they do not believe the Triune God, who split the sea, raised the dead,

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva!

Rich Pierce, February 15, 2022, Church History, Debate, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Our first road trip version of Radio Free Geneva! I guess we could have done it on the program yesterday, too, but I did not think of it till I was driving today. So I had forgotten to deal with an important part of Tim Stratton’s presentation yesterday, so I wanted to get to that, and there were some developments

Road Trip Debate Review, Quick Comments on Pallmann/Hess Review

James White, February 14, 2022, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Out in the middle of Texas somewhere near I-10 at a pretty nice little RV park (it is a former KOA, but now has a nice little cafe that just provided me with a very tasty, fresh cheeseburger) that I will definitely visit again in the future. I pushed myself to get here in time to do a DL and

Is Molinism Biblical? will be LIVE at 8:00pm EST

Rich Pierce, February 11, 2022, Debate, Molinism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Theology Matters

Tonight at 8:00pm EST James White and Tim Stratton will debate this thesis.

Ed Shaw, Church Split, Provisionism

James White, February 9, 2022, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Molinism, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yet another Road Trip Dividing Line, of course, this time looking at a clip of Ed Shaw on how his homosexuality has made him “more like Jesus,” a quick listen to the opening of a “book review” of the “low hanging fruit” book called The Potter’s Freedom, a quick response to Leighton Flowers thinking that there is no difference between

John 6 Rescued from Leighton’s Scissors, then Jordan Peterson’s Amazing Statement

James White, January 25, 2022, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Greetings from cold Springfield, Missouri! A road-trip edition of the Dividing Line as I caught a part of the Hughes/Flowers debate on John 6:44. Had to point out the basic error in Flowers’ approach, though we will do much more on that when I can download the video. Then we listened to a recent statement by Jordan Peterson on the

James Dolezal’s Biblical Evidence for DDS

James White, January 6, 2022, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Sorry for those who aren’t overly excited about internal Reformed Baptist issues, but I said a few weeks ago that I would engage Dr. Dolezal’s biblical evidence for the doctrine of divine simplicity (DDS) and today I did so. Went just over an hour and a half, but hope that the discussion was useful.

Two Responses, More Than Two Hours

James White, January 4, 2022, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Molinism, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I chose to provide two responses on the program today, hoping that both would provide opportunities for teaching and, by refutation, edification of the saints. The first, which took up most of our time, was a response to about ten relevant points (and those were about all) in the 2 hour, 45 minute video posted recently from Tim Stratton and

A First For the Last Day of 2021!

James White, December 31, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I was literally on my way to the office to do a remote DL in the old studio, something we have done four or five times now, when I texted Rich and asked, “I know this is crazy but…any way we could use the big studio and the Flip board remotely?” And we made it work! Kudos to Rich! Now

Reviewing Reasonable Faith’s Comments

James White, December 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Molinism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Recently Kevin Harris led William Lane Craig through a brief review of our discussion on Calvinism and Molinism on the Reasonable Faith podcast. It presented a great opportunity to highlight once again not only plethora of strawmen being burned with Molinist matches on the Internet these days, but it gave us the opportunity to delve into 1 Corinthians 3 and

Simplicity, Molinism, and More

James White, December 14, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Molinism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the great video that came out today, “The Essence of James White,” a wonderfully done little lark from the joke Justin Brierley made during the William Lane Craig discussion. Then we went with all that stuff that you can’t talk about on YouTube, if you know what I mean: you know, the failed vaccines and the Omicron

Aquinas Invades the Reformed Baptists, Tim Stratton Continued

James White, December 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Well, I really was not trying to make today’s program a pre-view of what is upcoming for my students when teaching Church History and Apologetics, but, we did cover that area. First portion of the program was a bit “in house,” discussing the rise of Thomism in the midst of Reformed Baptists, so that some are accusing myself and Jeff

First Program on Odysee: Omicron Variants, SCOTUS Case, TROnlyism Again, Responding to Tim Stratton

James White, December 2, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Molinism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

It was nice not to have to run a “words you can’t say in 2021 in the US” filter today as we were not live streaming on YouTube. Discussed the spike protein, selection pressure, Fauci’s constant lies, etc., as the Omicron Craze sweeps the nation. Briefly commented on the oral arguments from yesterday on the SC abortion case, was dragged

UPDATE! Live Not By Lies Episode 20,000, then the Key to Middle Knowledge

James White, November 23, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Molinism, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

UPDATE! Well, the censors at YouTube finally caught up with us and deleted this program. A few months ago we mirrored all our content to odysee.com, and you can find the link below for that mirrored episode. Now, assuming YouTube does not care about a discussion of “the truth value of subjunctive conditionals that constitute the essence of Middle Knowledge,”

Review of Today’s Totalitarian Nonsense, the Importance of History, Psalm 110, Psalm 12 and KJVOism

James White, November 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Quite a range today! Lots of stuff about leaky vaccines, mandates, and the New Austrian Gestapo strolling through the streets of Austria saying, “Your papers, please!” It’s like no one reads books anymore. Then we looked at the contrast between the Chinese changing history and Isaiah telling us history is meaningful because God is its author. Then we dove into

A New Open Phones Format Show!

James White, November 9, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, let me tell you, Rich is one happy camper. He got the bright idea today, really only a few hours before we started, to use Zoom to allow folks to call in to the program today. And…it worked. So I started off with about 20 minutes or so in response to a King James Only advocate giving a completely

Get A Deep Seat in the Saddle, Ma!

James White, November 4, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Debate, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

OK, we covered the waterfront again today! Let’s see, started off with a response to some immature bullying on Twitter, and then moved on to this important and dangerous study regarding vaccines and the spike protein and the long-term degradation of the health and immunity that can result from that spoke protein. Then we moved into a completely different area,

Yes, Lillibell, We Did Another Radio Free Geneva, and It Was Two Hours Long!

James White, October 21, 2021, Church History, Debate, King James Onlyism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Well, it was actually OVER two hours long, and I still did not finish up, but we made good progress. First I responded to Evangelist Ted Alexander’s comments wherein he not only identified Reformed theology as fundamentally Roman Catholic, but said I am a Catholic, and a plant in the church, etc. and etc. So, we demonstrated he is suffering

Radio Free Geneva

James White, October 19, 2021, Church History, Debate, Radio Free Geneva, Textual Issues, Theology Matters

Today we started responding to Leighton Flowers’ attempt to respond to our basic discussion of one simple truth and reality: the Provisionist view of man’s will and God’s grace is completely in line with the Roman Catholic view at the time of the Reformation; that is, Flowers stands firmly with Erasmus against Luther on this topic. This is all about

Clearing the Table Before Tomorrow’s Radio Free Geneva

James White, October 18, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Since we are doing a major length Radio Free Geneva tomorrow, I needed to “clear the table” of the topics that have been piling up in my topics list. So we really covered the gamut, starting off with my thanks for having shared a great time with Skillet as they visited Phoenix last Friday. WE discussed the veneration of vaccines,

Miscellaneous Topics Before a Deep Dive into the Perpetual Virginity of Mary

James White, October 14, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First half hour was on a variety of topics, including upcoming trips (and an invitation for you to send your church’s contact information to roadtrip@aomin.org) and a little on Thomas Aquinas. But then we went into the historical argumentation regarding the perpetual virginity of Mary as it was presented in this video demonstrating that, in essence, anything can be proven

Being Reformed, Provisionism in Rome, Aquinas in Geneva

James White, October 12, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a range of items today but mainly looked at comments from the Provisionists on the nature of grace, and then looked at a defense of the new “Reformed Thomism” as well. Went nearly 80 minutes.

Road Tripping in El Paso

James White, October 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m sort of in El Paso (but not quite), with one more stop tomorrow night before I get home. I was going to hoof it straight from here, as it is surely do-able, but the long, long hours are piling up after more than two weeks, so safety suggested stopping at an RV park I know halfway home tomorrow. Anyway,

Road Trip Two: WLC and Adam, the Baptism Debates Rage On

James White, September 25, 2021, Church History, Debate, Federal Vision, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

We chose to record today’s DL just in case the connection went wonky and broke up. But, it didn’t, and we managed to get about 70 minutes in today, mainly on two topics (with a brief trip report at the start). First, we discussed William Lane Craig, his views on Adam, and why this is pretty much just par for

Litton Becomes Biden, Todd’s Category Error, Hank Fictionalizes History

James White, September 14, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Mainly addressed three topics today, Ed Litton’s egregious excuses for his plagiarism publicly promulgated at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Todd Friel’s argument against seeing Romans 13 as having a basis in God’s law and definitions, and finally a few more minutes examining Hank Hanegraaff’s claims about church history.
