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

Psalm 33 Refutation Concluded, Thoughts on Trinitarian Orthodoxy Over Time

James White, December 23, 2021, Eastern Orthodoxy, Molinism, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Two major portions to today’s 90 minute program. First a bit over half an hour to complete our refutation of Tyson James’ article on Psalm 33, found here. Then I read through Basil’s comments in his Epistle 234 relating to simplicity and knowing God. This led to an “in house” discussion about the rise of a new Thomistic Orthodoxy in

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

ADE, More Litton, More Hanegraaff

James White, September 16, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Third show of the week as we are preparing for the start of Road Trip #2 next week. Started off with some complicated stuff about ADE and mRNA vaccines and the dangerous rise in cases and infections amongst the vaccinated and why this is taking place (link to article). Then we, reluctantly, dealt with the Litton affair again, pointing out

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.

Responding to the ERLC on Religious Exemptions, Creating Variants, Hank Hanegraaff and Church History

Rich Pierce, September 10, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Split the show in two, first half hour dealing with religious exemptions, the ERLC article on the topic, vaxxonlyism and the carnage it has produced, etc. Then switched to responding to claims made by Hank Hanegraaff, the former Bible Answer Man, regarding church history. Included a short five minute sermon for us all at the end!

The Episode to Treat Insomnia

James White, August 10, 2021, 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

Another Road Trip DL

James White, August 5, 2021, CBGM, Church Fathers, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Islam, Persecution, Personal, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Talked a little about the trip so far (including my ascent of Mt. Evans this morning), then noted the continued destruction of the Constitution in the United States by the current Regime, and then moved to an in-depth discussion of Gregory of Nyssa’s concluding sentences in his brief epistle, “On Not Three Gods,” once again allowing us to address the

A Packed Program

James White, July 6, 2021, 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

Rebuttal of Hank Hanegraaff on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary

James White, April 27, 2021, 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

An Incarnation Story (Prologue of John), Family Memories, Debate Challenges

James White, November 5, 2020, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Took a trip down memory lane to tell an “Incarnational Story,” in reality, to look at a key design element of the Prologue of John that has deep and important theological significance. Took a deep breath and didn’t try to rush today, just told stories and wove them into the narrative before discussing the Pope’s spin brigade. Then we talked

WEF’s Utopia, Live Not By Lies, the Slick v. Shamoun Debate

James White, October 27, 2020, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Could have easily gone for a mega version today, but closed it down at 1:45 in length so I could catch the Doug Wilson/Kurt Jaros debate live. Started off looking at The Great Reset, the WEF’s move to bring the entire world into a global, socialist technocracy, using a virus, and climate change, as the catalysts. Then we talked a

Tons of Important Material Today!

James White, September 10, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Covered a ton of important stuff today, including the work of the Ministry of Truth in editing and changing history, the jihad of the homosexuals in Cornwall, and a judge saying Grace Community, which has been meeting for weeks in worship, can’t. Then we moved to Jerry Walls’ “best argument against Catholicism,” and then finished up with a lengthy introductory

Swimming the Tiber, Hosea 11:1 in the LXX, Frank Turek on Molinism

James White, August 12, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent a good portion of time talking about why people “swim the Tiber” in light of Cameron Bertuzzi’s stating that he is closer than he has ever been to embracing Rome’s claims (though, he says, he is still “far away”). Realized while we were doing the program that this month marks the 30th anniversary of my first public debate which

Woke Religion with Tim Keller, Fulgentius of Ruspe on the Hypostatic Union

James White, August 4, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Actually started off with a little bit on how to deconstruct the objective reality of the fact that 2+2=4, then moved on to Tim Keller’s article ostensibly pushing back on Critical Theory while actually demonstrating he has been deeply influenced (in a bad way) but it. Then we finished up with a Story Time with Uncle Jimmy segment, reading through

James Cone’s Children, Then In-Depth on the Immaculate Conception

James White, July 31, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent just a few minutes at the start on the video of a black Baptist pastor applying the words of Isaiah 53 to John Lewis, explaining how this is perfectly consistent with Black Liberation Theology as developed by James Cone. Then got into a lengthy church history segment focusing upon the historical development of the Immaculate Conception and why any

The Calvinist Club, Sola Scriptura, Purgatory

James White, July 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Went almost two hours today but it’s an important program. Started off responding to William Samuel Bruce’s comments about me being a part of the “New Calvinism.” Then we moved into a response to James Fox Higgins on the subject of sola scriptura, its definition and defense (really important). Then following that theme we want back to this video featuring

Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute First Hour, Then Pope Frankie the Marxist Earth Day Hippy

James White, April 24, 2020, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Technology, The Dividing Line

Our good friend and brother Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute joined us for the first hour to talk all things science and the faith, and in the last half hour we talked mainly about Pope Francis’ comments about the earth being upset with us. Also a small amount of discussion regarding Qumran right at the end.

Seb Goldswain, Big Brother Announces His Rulership, Leighton Flowers Goes Full-On Pelagian

James White, April 16, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Persecution, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a visit from the “Jazzy Segovia of South Africa,” my Christian brother Sebastian Goldwain. Seb lives just outside Durban, and we’ve been able to get together a few times when I’ve been down there. He is a guitar virtuoso, a real talent, and he joined us for the first 45 minutes to talk music, the lock down,

Remembering LDS Outreach, Cyprian to the Martyrs in the Mines, Further Ken Wilson Examination

James White, April 14, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Mormonism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started off reminiscing about our LDS outreach from long ago, looking at my old copies of the Triple Combination. Then we gave background on the great martyr bishop Cyprian, and read his entire epistle to the Christians imprisoned in the mines, a truly challenging work. Then we returned to listening to the 2018 interview by Leighton Flower of Ken Wilson.

Jeff and James Compete, R. Scott Clark Decalvinizes Me, More of Leighton Flowers and Ken Wilson

James White, April 1, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started with a little video that Apologia Studios put together (thanks to Carman and Isaac) of Jeff and I competing in the apologists’ bracket, and then looked at a tweet from R. Scott Clark kicking me out of Reformedville (well, nothing overly new there), before moving back to the 2018 interview with Leighton Flowers and Ken Wilson. Last program for

Hank Hanegraaff’s Attack on Sola Scriptura Refuted, Part 2

James White, March 10, 2020, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

As promised I continued in my response to Hank Hanegraaff’s attack on sola scriptura, finishing up the entire video, dealing with a wide variety of issues. Important stuff for those looking at or dealing with Eastern Orthodoxy. May be doing a program again tomorrow.

Hank Hanegraaff Unplugged—Part One of a Refutation of His Attack on Sola Scriptura

James White, March 5, 2020, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I was pointed this morning to a video of Hank Hanegraaff (joined by Dr. Nathan Jacobs) attacking the doctrine of sola scriptura. Given I debated Jimmy Akin and Tim Staples (Roman Catholics) on The Bible Answer Man Broadcast decades ago, I felt it necessary (and useful) to begin a response to the claims made. Nothing new as we have surely addressed all

A Few Pope Francis Stories, A Bit on Ken Wilson and Augustine, and Open Phones

James White, March 3, 2020, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Ran through some quick discussions of a few topics in the first half hour, and then took calls in the second. Covered a few Francis the Marxist stories, and then looked briefly at Ken Wilson’s anti-Calvinist polemic (dressed up as a work of history), The Foundation of Augustinian-Calvinism. Then pointed folks to a new resource for Qur’an studies, Fadel Soliman’s Bridges’ Translation

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, February 27, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I wish there was a way for me to easily make notation of all the topics when we do open phones, but alas, I have not mastered that skill. So we talked about Mormonism and textual criticism and inerrancy and even a call about the Christian view of medical intervention for someone who is truly (genetically) intersexed! Also had a

All the Dishes in the Kitchen Sink

James White, February 6, 2020, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The title for today’s program came from Rich. Blame him. Started off talking about the quotation I had posted on Facebook and all the guesses—none of which were right. The quotation was from Dr. Yasir Qadhi, so I fleshed that out as far as worldviews, evangelism, apologetics, etc. Then we discussed the wishful effort to “orthodoxicize” Martin Luther King’s views

Answering Marcus Rogers’ Questions, 2 Thess. 2:15 and Jay Dyer

James White, January 9, 2020, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Back to live streaming today (yay!). Covered, very quickly, the questions asked by Marcus Rogers in one of those “I’m going to prop my phone up on my dashboard in a parking lot” type videos regarding the Trinity. I was named specifically, so I responded specifically, though briefly. Then we looked at 2 Thess. 2:15 as quoted by Jay Dyer

Francis Chan and Church History, Leighton Flowers and Romans 3

James White, January 6, 2020, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Nearly two hours on the program today (not live streamed due to our computer issues), first hour in response and review of the Francis Chan clip that surfaced yesterday about the Supper and church history, the second hour in response to Leighton Flowers and Romans 3.

Jumbo Edition of the Dividing Line Despite Technical Challenges

James White, January 3, 2020, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Tomb Issues

Started off with some exciting news about the upcoming Rome/Israel/Athens/Ephesus cruise in September (see the previous article here on the blog). Then we looked briefly at Jemar Tisby’s comment about James Cone before looking at a very, very odd piece from Facebook identifying Yahweh as Satan (yes, Marcion still prowls the earth). Then we got into the heart of the

Open Borders Means Anarchy and Lawlessness, Then Open Phones on Deep Theological Topics

James White, July 2, 2018, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

While we were getting folks in line for open phones I commented for about ten minutes on the simple reality that “open borders” equals anarchy and the end of law, a concept that should not be attractive to any Christian whatsoever. Then we went to the phones to discuss a bunch of deep Trinitarian issues, as well as Eastern Orthodoxy,
