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

When Reformed Becomes Deformed, the Fatal Flaw of Molinism Pressed

James White, November 30, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Two topics on the program today. Started off with a discussion of Kristin Kobes du Mez, a professor of history (yay!) and gender studies (seriously?) at Calvin University, that once bastion of Reformed thought that has moved from Reformed to Deformed in just a matter of decades. She wrote the Jesus and John Wayne book, if you are wondering. Then

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

The Decree of God: Foundation, Vindication

James White, October 26, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

An intense teaching program today looking at Psalm 2, Job 23, and Ephesians 1, before looking at comments made by Dr. William Lane Craig in his book, The Only Wise God. Almost 80 minutes in length.

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

Radio Free Geneva: Responding to “The Authentic Christian”

James White, September 13, 2021, Church Fathers, Exegesis, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics

After noting the passing, on the same weekend, of two of my former debate opponents (John Shelby Spong and Bob Enyart), we dove into this presentation by three Church of Christ gentlemen on the subject of “total depravity.” We covered a lot of ground and hopefully you will be aided by the discussion! We hope to do another program tomorrow

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

Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1: Testimonies to the Deity of Jesus Christ

James White, July 20, 2021, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, King James Onlyism, Pauline Studies, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

We spent today looking at the argument of Dr. Douglas Stauffer in his attempted defense of the King James Bible relating to Titus 2:13, specifically. Of course, we provided a lot of background, dove into the text, even took at look at P72, the earliest papyri manuscript of 2 Peter (another Granville Sharp Construction location). So if you are into

The Regime Tightens Its Control, A Review of Dr. Gagnon’s Soteriology Posts on Facebook

James White, July 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If the last DL caused you to lose sleep because of the creepy stuff we played from the global elites, today’s clips from our governmental overlords will probably produce more insomnia. Sorry, but while there is still some daylight left, expose the unfruitful works of darkness. After a half hour of that (including reading Amy Grant’s comments about welcoming the

An Interaction with Dr. Robert Gagnon on Perseverance and John 6:39

James White, July 15, 2021, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Reformed Apologetics

A few thoughts on Robert Gagnon’s assertions regarding the loss of salvation. Over the past week or so Dr. Robert Gagnon has posted a series of articles targeting, as he himself has put it, the idea of antinomianism. To quote him directly: If you believe that the new covenant makes it possible (albeit not preferable) to live a sin-controlled life

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

James White, May 13, 2021, 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

More on the Worldview Revolution, then an Overview of 1 Tim 2

James White, May 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with worldview issues, including the necessary and inevitable attack upon Christian teaching by secularizing governments in the West, but eventually moved to an extended discussion of Paul’s words to Timothy about women teaching and exercising authority over men. Lots of basic hermeneutics/exegesis issues covered today.

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

Canadian Tyranny and Anthony Bradley Remote Diagnosis

James White, April 8, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Just had to talk about the tyranny of the government in Alberta, Canada and the closure of Grace Life Church. Two sets of fences have been placed around the building and while the same government lets child predators loose into the community they are expending manpower guarding against those horrible Christians who might meet and sing praises to God and

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

James White, April 6, 2021, 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

The Coming SBC Split

James White, April 5, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Racialism

That wasn’t the only topic we covered today, as we looked at a number of items, but in general we looked at the reaction that erupted to a simple tweet from Dr. Josh Buice, a reaction that came from staff or students at the three largest Southern Baptist seminaries. We also looked at what wokeness does to one’s theology from

Insights from Startling Phrases in the Bible, then More Wokeplosions

James White, April 1, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Discussed the promise of Scripture, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet,” and considered how we have to think past surface level conclusions so we can truly understand the point. Then we started looking at various “wokeplosions” (and there are many), finishing up with Jemar Tisby’s joining Ibram Kendi at the Anti-Racism Center, and what this

John’s Testimony to the Deity of Christ: John 1:1-18, 8:24, 58, 20:28

James White, March 29, 2021, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent nearly two hours in the AOMax studio today diving into the issues surrounding the proper translation and understanding of John’s testimony to Jesus in his Gospel, prompted by the exchange between Anthony Rogers and Brandon Tatum on Instagram, found here.

Radio Free Geneva: Atheists, William Lane Craig, Warren McGrew

James White, March 17, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics

We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig’s comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with the assertion made by Warren McGrew that 2 Timothy 1:9 is

Two And A Half Hours? What?

James White, March 15, 2021, 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

Thinking Presuppositionally, Brandan Robertson and Chris Fisher

James White, March 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

How do we think presuppositionally? Today we took at look at two issues, one with Brandan Robertson and his “Jesus was a racist” video, and then on to a debate on Open Theism with Chris Fisher, and his amazing claim that Yahweh gains knowledge by “counting water” in Isaiah 40:12. Hopefully helpful examples and teaching!

Special Guest Tom Buck/1 Corinthians 1 and a Debate

James White, February 25, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had our first “e-guest” in our new studio today, Dr. Tom Buck of the FBC, Lindale. We talked things SBC as well as about the book of Hebrews, how to preach it, who wrote it, etc. Then toward the end of the program I made some comments about the McGrew/Slick debate on “total depravity” (I just looked and it

Max Lucado’s Apology for Having Spoken the Truth, Ravi Zacharias Scandal, and Yes, Mildred, He’s a Postmillennialist

James White, February 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Went long today, so get a deep seat in the proverbial saddle! Spent quite some time on the Max Lucado debacle wherein he apologizes for having spoken the truth 17 years ago—a truth that is now “hurtful.” Then we moved on to the Ravi Zacharias scandal and developments therein. Finally I finished up with about half an hour on last

Conversion Bills, Great Reset News, Romans 13 Revisited

James White, February 11, 2021, 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

The Revisionist History of Homosexuality in the Bible Debunked, A Few Other Notes

James White, February 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Went into the big studio today to use the board to nail down a full response to the currently viral story about the alleged history of the Bible and the meaning of arsenokoites at 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Timothy 1. Since this kind of falsehood gets passed around like candy corn on the playground before lunch, all Christians, but

Identity Christianity, Brandon Tatum and the Deity of Christ

James White, January 29, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at the call for “discipline” of anyone who would dare to point out the completely appropriate, biblical example of “Jezebel” that Jesus Himself used in Revelation 2. The Woke Church’s departure from biblical orthodoxy is moving much faster than one would expect. But then I reviewed a 5 minute video by Brandon Tatum. I’m sorry, I had

TikTok Lady Theologian Refuted, Comments on Dr. MacArthur and Losing Down Here

James White, January 27, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a thorough review of a United Methodist woman’s claims about the Bible and homosexuality, working through key texts. Then listened to what Dr. MacArthur said about postmillenialism and “losing down here,” and offered a response. Hope we get to do another program, but must admit, we said more than enough on this one program to have us removed in

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

James White, January 27, 2021, 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
