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

Pennsylvania Homosexual Representative, Choose Your CT, Beza and Matthew 1:23

James White, May 7, 2019, Abortion, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Everyone is talking today about the homosexual Pennsylvania state representative who berated a Christian woman outside a Planned Parenthood abortuary, so we chimed in as well, and then moved on to make some more comments on what happens when you “swap CTs,” that is, when you trade covenant theology for critical theory. The result is a big mess. Then we

Cultural Madness, Atonement Issues, Textual Traditionalism

James White, April 3, 2019, Abortion, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A morning DL for us here today, the only program for this week. We started with some commentary on current cultural madness and rapid decline, including a grandmother bearing a child for her homosexual son. Then we looked at issues relating to the atonement, first in comments from Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon on the Mass, and then from William

Upcoming Debates, Tom Buck and Sam Allberry, Steven Anderson and Textual Traditionalism

James White, March 28, 2019, CBGM, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with some exciting news about possible upcoming major debates and pointing folks to the Travel Fund as the most important way of helping us to make this happen. Then we looked at the fall out from the posting of the four-part series of articles by Pastor Tom Buck interacting with materials found on the Living Out website before

Living Out Part 4 – A Call to Immediate Action

Tom Buck, March 28, 2019, Homosexuality

Living Out and a Call to Immediate Action When Paul wrote young pastor Timothy in the church at Ephesus, he reminded him of this sobering reality of ministry: “Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:16). As pastors, we must

Living Out Part 3 – Unbiblical Counsel

Tom Buck, March 27, 2019, Homosexuality

The Unbiblical Counsel of Living Out Paul tells the Colossians that they have been saved for the purpose of being presented “holy and blameless and above reproach” before Christ (Col 1:22). This requires, he says, that they “continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in

Living Out Part 2 – A Closer Examination

Tom Buck, March 26, 2019, Homosexuality

A Closer Examination of Living Out In my past experience, many Christians have not demonstrated compassion towards homosexuals and those struggling with same-sex attraction. As I shared in my first article, I found it common for Christians, even pastors, to express ridicule and contempt towards homosexuals rather than love and compassion for them. Therefore, some of the shifts occurring among

Microphone Testing, Living Out, Traditional Textism and the Longer Ending of Mark

James White, March 25, 2019, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with technical issues, to be honest (tried a new microphone that didn’t work out well, yet, anyway), and then eventually discussed Tom Buck’s currently running series of articles on Living Out. Then moved to the Traditional Text position (TR) finishing up with a look at the endings of Mark. We will be back on Thursday of this week. Don’t forget

Living Out Part 1 – The Shift

Tom Buck, March 25, 2019, Homosexuality

The Church’s Shift in Addressing Homosexuality In my seminary days, Dr. Howard Hendricks warned us that the church tends to drift from one extreme to another. He declared that the church tends to be balanced only for a brief moment when it is swinging from one end of the pendulum to the other. I am reminded of this assessment as

An Almost Two Hour DL: Sam Allberry’s RZIM Presentation on Transgenderism, the Important Issues in Textual Traditionalism

James White, February 25, 2019, CBGM, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went 115 minutes today, the first hour focusing upon Sam Allberry’s presentation on transgenderism at the RZIM event just a few weeks ago. Then we moved on to look at some of the statements made recently by advocates of Textual Traditionalism (including identifying that moniker as “gutter language” and a “slur”). Lots of discussion of epistemology, Reformed theology, history of

Cultural Observations on the Sexual Revolution, Mormonism, Racialism, and Calls

James White, February 21, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Wow, what a mix! Lots of material at the start on true biblical justice, avoiding mobs, how intersectionality eats its own (Martina Navratilova), and the use of the “crisis” to get things done now, even if what you are really doing is just pushing forward your ultimate agenda. Then we took calls on various topics, and then at the end of

Russell Moore’s Statement, Steven Anderson on KJVOC Chapter 2

James White, February 12, 2019, Church History, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent most of our time today examining Dr. Russell Moore’s statement on the Houston Chronicle article, and specifically what he identified as “wrongheaded” and “dangerous” ideas. This required us to revisit Rome’s doctrine of the priesthood and related issues. Then we responded to Steven Anderson’s second video wherein he reviews the second chapter of The King James Only Controversy. 75 minutes.

An Ultra Mega Dividing Line (2.5 Hours) Covering…A Ton

James White, February 5, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off the program thanking my hosts in Russia for a wonderful time there. Then we looked at the document produced and signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam, Ahmed el-Tayeb, and commented on its actual content (unlike some articles that skipped that part and just went for the sensationalistic side). Then we commented on the left’s drive for

A Quiet DL (Because James Has Almost No Voice)

James White, January 10, 2019, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had some technical issues so the live stream did not go very well today. Talked a bit about the trip to Owensboro and the upcoming G3 Conference. Then looked at a few texts on the biblical teaching on the world’s hatred of the Kingship of Jesus, then looked at the Netherlands and their strong secular move against Christian belief within

A Remote Dividing Line Discussing Abortion, Gender Issues, and Then Transitioning to More IFB Craziness

James White, December 14, 2018, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Needed to do the program remotely today from my home (and aside from one slip up, it actually worked quite well!). Discussed the amazing (and disgusting) tweets put out by a woman saying “goodbye” to the aborted baby she murdered as if this was an act of love on her part—tough way to start the program, I know. But when

Lauren Daigle’s Comments, Ed Shaw’s Views, Steven Anderson on Hebrews 2:9

James White, December 6, 2018, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did the program live from my hotel room in Pryor, Oklahoma via Skype…and it worked this time! Yay! Talked about Laren Daigle, Ed Shaw, and the covered Hebrews 2:9 in light of the comments posted by Steven Anderson on the subject of the atonement. Enjoy! Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video.

Catching Up on Recent Events Before Leaving Town

James White, November 28, 2018, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Caught up on a number of articles I had saved before I leave tomorrow for St. Charles and other locations (see the banner ads for details). Right before the program started Dr. Michael Brown published an article about Twitter’s banning (ready for this?) “deadnaming.” Yeah. Deadnaming. That’s like when you call Bruce Jenner…Bruce Jenner instead of “Caitlyn.” So, in other

Voting, Racialism, TGC Article, Chesterton’s Romanism in a Jumbo DL

James White, November 6, 2018, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Told the story of my voting experience today and talked a little bit about worldview implications at the start, and then turned to a Jemar Tisby series of statements attempting to parallel racial justice issues with the Pharisees and Jesus’ condemnation in Matthew 23. Then we moved to Sam Allberry’s article at TGC on the Sexual Revolution, and finished up

Brandan Robertson on the Death of Christianity, Jared Wilson and Galatians 2, Open Phones with Great Calls!

James White, October 25, 2018, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off briefly reminding folks that A&O is a ministry that depends on individuals for our continued support. Also mentioned that we have a travel fund that allows me to get to all the places I go and minister to many who would not be able to bring me in otherwise. Then we looked at an article Brandan Robertson posted

Is Galatians 2 Relevant to Modern Racial Theory? Michael Heiser and ANE, Brandan Robertson’s Apostacy

James White, October 22, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Looked at Jared C. Wilson’s comments about Galatians 2 and the subject of race, as well as Duke Kwon’s citation of the same text, by looking carefully at Galatians 2 itself in its context. The social justice attempt to read the NT as a social justice document is indeed troubling, especially since Wilson is very much a part of Midwestern’s

Catching Up on Events Since Travels to Scotland and Israel: Russell Moore, Brandi Miller, and Andy Stanley

James White, October 16, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Talked a bit about my trip to Scotland and Israel, and then moved into listening to Russell Moore’s comments on the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel, listened to Brandi Miller at Reunion2018 illustrating everything we have been warning about with clarity, and then finished up by looking a bit at Ed Stetzer’s interview of Andy Stanley. Just over

9/11, Accreditation, Social Justice, Jemar Tisby

James White, September 11, 2018, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Offense, Persecution, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide variety of things today from the 9-11 remembrances to the use of accreditation to crush Christian education in the West to various discussions of the social justice issue from a number of specifics (especially from articles by Douglas Wilson and Samuel Sey). Finished up looking at Jemar Tisby’s article wherein he exhorts people to “avoid” people like

James White, August 28, 2018, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a lengthy discussion of the great text in Romans 15:13, then moved on to 1 Timothy 4:1-3 in light of the current situation in Rome. Then looked very closely at the meaning of ἀπαράβατον at Hebrews 7:23-24 in light of a Mormon attempt to get around its meaning. Finally closed out with a few comments on the teaching

The Issue IS Homosexuality, then Brad Mason on “Color Blind Theology”

James White, August 21, 2018, Homosexuality, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with some important observations of the current scandal in the Roman Catholic Church (it IS about homosexuality) and then moved on to look at a comment from Dr. Anthony Bradley, finishing with a lengthy discussion of ethnicity in the church (it is being discussed a lot these days!) in light of Brad Mason’s article against “color blind theology.”

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,

The Imputation of the Righteousness of Christ: Karlo Broussard of Catholic Answers Refuted

James White, August 7, 2018, Homosexuality, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

The large majority of the hour today was taken up examining this article from Catholic Answers’ writer Karlo Broussard on the topic of righteousness/justification. We went deeply into the text of Romans 4 and 2 Corinthians 5 in response. We likewise made brief mention of a Frank Bruni opinion piece attacking Mike Pence (and all Christians), and finished with a

Deedat, Adam Hamilton, ERLC, and the Pope

James White, August 2, 2018, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started today’s program off listening to a clip from The Deen Show presenting a 4 minute twisting of Matthew 7 by the late Ahmed Deedat. Then we listened to a few minutes of a sermon by Adam Hamilton at the 2018 Uniting Methodists Conference on having a “high view of Scripture” and yet accepting the profaning of marriage. Then we

Dr. Nate Collins’ Presentation at Revoice 2018 Examined

James White, July 31, 2018, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Are “Gay Christians” prophets sent to the church? Dr. Nate Collins (Ph.D. NT, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2017) says they may well be. His was one of the keynote presentations at Revoice 2018, and we took the time today to listen to a major portion of his talk. Important topics to think through in 2018! Here is the YouTube link:
