James White, March 18, 2020, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Over 90 minutes today starting off with a question from a friend in email about presuppositionalism that ended up going 48 minutes in length (thanks Matt!). Then I looked at two Twitter questions, one on Hebrews 10:25 and the current crisis around the world, and one about “The Trail of Blood.” We will be back tomorrow, keeping you company as

Theonomy

I do not fully understand the inner workings of Facebook. When folks tag me on my timeline I get these posts I have to either publish or hide. And when I do so, I end up with a page of stuff going back years. I keep hitting “hide” and then it happens the next time, with more stuff, even older.

KJB Fundy Numerology, Flowers’ Unwanted Child, RNS Opinion Piece on Cone

James White, January 13, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to get the silly stuff out of the way first, so we looked at Andrew Sluder’s “KJB Numerology” where he uses verse numbers and their position in the Bible to prove its inspiration. Then we got serious and read through a Soteriology 101 article and dealt with its man-centeredness. Finished off with an RNS opinion piece that alleged that

Thoughts on Thanksgiving, a Bit More Cone, Matt Hall and CRT

James White, November 26, 2019, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Well Thanksgiving is coming up so we spent some time talking about thanks, contentment, etc., from a biblical perspective. Then we moved back to reading a bit from James Cone, made application to Talbert Swan, and then moved from there to an article recently posted from Dr. Matt Hall at SBTS regarding “racial reconciliation.” We asked some honest questions of

Joshua Harris’ Rainbow Adventure, Religious Freedom, Critical Theory, and the Founders Trailer

James White, August 7, 2019, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent some time looking at Joshua Harris’ swing into the LGBTQ world, then looked at issues of religious freedom, critical theory, and that whole area of rapid development. Then I got into the Founders Trailer for “By What Standard,” developments since the program from Colorado, my complete face-plant error in not knowing any of the relevant background (or players), what

Apostasy: a New Testament Consideration

James White, August 1, 2019, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Took the hour to look at the subject of false faith, apostasy, etc., today on the program in light of the Joshua Harris situation. Not a pleasant topic, but one found right in the fabric of Scripture, and hence one that must be understood. Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video. Our

Beth Moore Sort Of Explains…But Not Really

James White, July 6, 2019, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Given I spent a good bit of time yesterday going over the words Beth Moore originally wrote on the subject of homosexuality and then had removed recently I think today’s article she posted should be read carefully and fairly. I will be brief at this point: Mrs. Moore must know by now that there is nowhere to hide on this

De-Platformed by Dan DeWitt, the Influence of History, Receiving the Received Text

James White, June 27, 2019, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Islam, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

We dealt with the accusations of Dr. Dan DeWitt, Research Fellow of the ERLC, calling for him to substantiate, or withdraw, his statements. Then we looked at how we are all influenced by the history that came before us, whether we see it or not. Had a little fun with Dr. Mohler and Whataburger and dodgeball, and then spent the

Gene Bridges, Anthony Bradley, Greg Johnson, Michael Heiser, and Bruxy Cavey!

James White, May 21, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Gene Bridges comments on a Facebook discussion, Anthony Bradley continues to swing wide left, Greg Johnson comes out as a homosexual, Michael Heiser demonstrates he has not done even the most basic reading in Reformed theology, and Bruxy Cavey gets a tattoo that demonstrates he has no idea what God’s law is all about. Wow, talk about eclectic! Enjoy! Here

Drawing the Lines: Matt Walsh, Serene Jones, Ron Underwood

James White, April 22, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a live DL from London (Westminster) today via Zoom (worked really well!) discussing how we “draw the lines,” using three examples to provide us with some perspective for this challenging discussion. We looked at Matt Walsh, Roman Catholic, who was interviewed on the CrossPolitic program last week. Then we looked at Serene Jones, head of Union Theological Seminary, and

“Those Who Hate Me Love Death.” —Godly Wisdom

James White, April 2, 2019, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Theology Matters

The news is filled with stories of the world expressing its hatred toward the faith and its express intention to take away the liberties and freedoms of anyone who will not bow the knee to Caesar (in our day, celebrate homosexuality, profane marriage, admit that women are men and men are women, abuse children, and, of course, murder children in

The Gospels Reading Plan for 2019

Dr. Alan Kurschner, January 1, 2019, Blog Stuff, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Personal, Resources, Theology Matters

It is about that time of the year when we are introduced to creative ways to read our Bible for the next calendar year. Did you do it this year? This is my eleventh year encouraging others to take each day of the year to read and reflect on a single unit in the Gospels. Did you know there are

Dr. Mason’s The Woke Church’s Misrepresentation, Open Phones

James White, October 18, 2018, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a rebuttal of the misrepresentation published by Dr. Eric Mason in his new book (endorsed by many Reformed leaders) regarding yours truly and the May 11th meme I posted that insists that there is no room for “black spaces” or “white spaces” at the Lord’s Table, but only room for a singular focus upon Christ. This led

Michael Kruger on Whether It Is a Waste of Time to Learn Biblical Languages . . .

Dr. Alan Kurschner, August 20, 2018, Blog Stuff, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Pauline Studies, Reformed Baptist Issues, Resources, Textual Issues, Theology Matters

A few weeks ago, a new crop of seminary students began the grueling month-long experience of Summer Greek. And, like all seminary students before them, they will begin to ask the question of why studying these ancient languages even matters. After all, a few years after graduation all will be forgotten. In the midst of a busy pastoral life, who

Mega Edition of the Dividing Line: Andy Stanley, 3 Mormons, and a Bit More

James White, August 10, 2018, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Spent nearly an hour and 20 minutes listening to and interacting with the discussion between Jonathan Merritt and Andy Stanley at the beginning of the program. Dr. Albert Mohler spent a solid ten minutes on the same exchange on this morning’s edition of The Briefing (recommended). Then we moved over to playing some clips from a YouTube channel called 3Mormons,

Just opened the phones and covered all sorts of topics like the Trinity, eternal generation of the Son, prayer, Molinism, learning Greek, you name it! Something for everyone! Hope it is useful! Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video. Our YouTube channel also provides videos of most of the debates that Dr.

The Danger of “Gay Christianity,” Islamicize Me Redux, a Bit More on the SBC

James White, June 7, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, surprise surprise, quite the amount of response to yesterday’s program, so we covered two topics we touched on yesterday, including further commentary on the Islamicize Me video series and on the Paige Patterson situation in the Southern Baptist Convention. But first, we looked at the issues raised by the Revoice Conference and the idea of “gay Christianity,” and considered

Vines/McDowell Dialogue, Encouraging Podcast, Calls on Today’s Jumbo Edition of the Dividing Line

James White, February 27, 2018, Church History, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Islam, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a few miscellaneous items, including a brief review of the Matthew Vines/Sean McDowell dialogue from a few weeks ago, a little reading on Basilides the early church gnostic heretic and his views, and then I played some portions from the Ex Nihilo podcast that the Hardings posted as an encouragement to me (which was much appreciated). Then

Open Phones on the Dividing Line!

James White, February 22, 2018, Church History, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a little church history (the Renaissance) and then went to the phones, taking calls on Lutheran baptismal regeneration, Jesus’ words about the day of judgment, grieving and evangelism, hyperdispensationalism, Titus 1:6, the longer ending of Mark, regeneration in the OT, Isaiah’s judgment oracle, and early christian writers. Whew! 1:45 makes it an almost mega jumbo edition, I guess! Here

Setting the Record Straight: Dr. Michael Brown Our Special Guest

James White, January 2, 2018, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Didn’t bother starting off the year quietly as over the holidays a number of internet-based ministries were throwing out the hate against me for my relationship with Dr. Michael Brown. In the process a number of articles were posted that displayed the same kind of “let’s not worry about thinking clearly, let’s surely not even ponder being fair, but let’s

Remembering RC, Then, Refuting More Textual Traditionalism

James White, December 19, 2017, Church History, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off playing a half hour interview from 2008 with RC Sproul remembering and celebrating a wonderful gift to Christ’s church. Then we completely shifted gears and got into the issues raised by A James White Christmas Carol, an animation movie about Luke 23:34 that is desperately dishonest at its base (regarding the false accusation of my attacking David Wood,

Dr. Alan Kurschner, December 17, 2017, Blog Stuff, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Resources

Ephesians 4:29-32 Applied to Christian Communication, A Hack-Job Video, and Francis’ Unorthodox Views

James White, November 14, 2017, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Mormonism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with some geeky stuff, a few new books, etc., then moved to Ephesians 4 and how we are to behave as believers, especially in the realm of communication. Moved seamlessly into a hack-job video that P&P is promoting, a personal attack upon me. Played the whole thing showing how whoever produced it (Hall knows and isn’t saying) purposefully

Speaking the Truth in Love, Destroying Others, then Back to the Free Will Debate

James White, November 9, 2017, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with biblical discussions regarding how Christians are to interact with others, leading to some thoughts about those who wish to “destroy” others in the name of Christ. Then turned back to the Free Will debate that was the subject of the previous program, listening and responding along the way. 105 minutes today! More than a jumbo, less than

Radio Free Geneva! Robert Jeffress, Roman Catholicism, the Reformation, and then Kevin Thompson on John 6 (Mega Edition)

James White, October 23, 2017, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the First Baptist Dallas interview of Sean Hannity and discussed a lot about Roman Catholicism and how we should mourn over the fact that Rome’s gospel does not save. Then I very, very briefly discussed the John Piper thing on final justification. Then we moved to a video from Pastor Kevin Thompson on John 6:37, playing his

Does God Forgive the Unrepentant? – The Dubious Textual Variant, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing’

Dr. Alan Kurschner, April 11, 2017, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Textual Issues, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

A few years back I posted an article explaining the weak textual evidence of Luke 23:34a, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” This week is Good Friday and many sermons will be using this verse, so I think it is appropriate to bring awareness of its textual nature. Whether you agree with me or

An Open Letter to Sam Shamoun

James White, February 13, 2017, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters

An Open Letter to Sam Shamoun Greetings Sam: Long time no talk. We used to chat a lot, remember? Well, that was only a few months ago, so I am sure you do. I went looking for our conversation on Facebook a few weeks ago. It’s disappeared. I wonder how that happened? But you know what it was like. We

New Years Thoughts, God’s Decree, the Pope and Mary, ET Stalkers

James White, January 3, 2017, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

90 minute program today with some thoughts from 2 Peter to start off the New Year, then a lengthy discussion of God’s decree, followed by a few items related to Islam and the Ecclesiastical Text folks. Here is the YouTube link:

2017 Bible Reading Plan — Read the Gospels Every Day

Dr. Alan Kurschner, December 19, 2016, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Resources

Wood, Qureshi, Dunn

James White, August 2, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Misc, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off announcing tomorrow’s show with Jeff Durbin, and playing a few clips reminding folks that yes, in fact, the “meme” over the past few weeks has in fact been, “Hey, those Apologia guys held a beer and tattoo fund raiser, and that’s foolishness.” Then I moved over to the David Wood response to Seth Dunn regarding Nabeel Qureshi. I

Psalm 101:3 and Worthless Things

James White, February 22, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Sort of wandered all over the landscape today, starting off with comments from Psalm 101:3 and branching off into the topic of Christian worldview, unity, etc. I had been on the Calvinist Batman podcast the hour before and had been asked about unity amongst Christians despite differences, etc. I was going to continue on to other topics but, alas…. We
