Alpha and Omega Ministries

The Popes, Rachel Held Evans, Desiring God, Nabeel Qureshi on Unbelievable Mega Show

James White, April 5, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Put together a full mega sized DL today, starting off with the obvious differences between the two currently living Popes and then doing nearly 70 minutes on a Rachel Held Evans article and a few articles that have appeared recently on the Desiring God website (John Piper’s ministry), but then throwing in another half an hour on a recent Unbelievable

I Really TRIED to Talk About Other Stuff, But…Eventually…

James White, December 8, 2015, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Technology, The Dividing Line

I seriously did start off with the Calvin College story on gay marriage and tried to address a few other topics, but look—when you have folks accusing me of going “soft” on Islam, and have folks saying I’ve gotten too “friendly,” what did you expect? I addressed the topic. For about an hour of today’s 90 minute program—and I still

Total Insanity at the Start, then on to Important Issues about Secularism, Homosexuality, and Regeneration

James White, December 3, 2015, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a 75 minute program today, starting off with the looniest video I’ve ever seen aimed at me from a small Romanist cult up in New York. Then we moved on to the “God Isn’t Fixing This” headline, an article on the TGC blog about homosexuality, and finally a brief review of Paul Copan’s article on regeneration and faith. Enjoy!

Movie Reviews, Kentucky Baptists, SQUIRREL!, Oh, Uh, and Ehrman

James White, November 9, 2015, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Covered the vast wide countryside of theology and apologetics today, including a review of the Free Speech Apocalypse movie (and some non-spoiler comments about The Martian!), a brief listen to one of the candidates for the Kentucky Baptist Convention presidency, one of the audience questions from the recent atheist debate, and finally, after a bit more wandering about, nearly an

Numerous Topics Eventually Leading to a Return to the Brownson/Homosexuality Discussion

James White, November 3, 2015, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Wandered about a good bit on a number of topics, including interacting directly with a Muslim on Twitter who simply cannot (or will not) understand the necessity of consistency and avoiding double standards in debate at the start of the program today. Though I didn’t get to the Ehrman/Bass debate, I still ended up taking nearly 15 minutes talking about

Cross Examination from the Codrington Debate/Phone Calls

James White, October 22, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a ten minute clip from the Johannesburg debate from almost two weeks ago, and then opened the phones, with calls on the priesthood in the early church, Leighton Flowers’ on the will of God, and other topics. Here is the YouTube link:

Debate Report Including Gagnon/Kirk Encounter

James White, October 20, 2015, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Islam, The Dividing Line

Did a jumbo edition of the DL today reporting on my trip to South Africa along with my attendance at the Gagnon/Kirk debate on homosexuality. Spent nearly the first hour on the homosexuality topic (interspersed with comments about South African Rooibus Tea) and then moved on to the Muslim debates in the last half hour. Here is the YouTube link:

Some Thoughts on South Africa While Fresh on the Mind

James White, October 16, 2015, Homosexuality, Islam

Of course, my mind isn’t very fresh as I sit at Heathrow airport in London after the overnight flight from Johannesburg (everyone calls it JoBurg). In fact, I was so tired upon arriving that I “slipped” while shaving and took a very noticeable chunk out of my beard along the thin portion…so much so I just shrugged and took the

The Same Sex Marriage Debate will be LIVE at 1:00pm EDT

James White, October 9, 2015, Homosexuality

I was informed last evening that the debate with Dr. Graeme Codrington on homosexuality WILL be live streamed at this address. It is 7pm Johannesburg time, which is 10am Phoenix time, 1pm EDT, I think. Here is the link

Youth Targeted Calvinism / Book of Romans Torn to Pieces in Service of “Gay Christianity”

James White, October 1, 2015, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Two main topics on the program today. First I mentioned fairly briefly this wild-eyed article from SBC Today as another example of Anti-Calvinist Derangement Syndrome. Had to chuckle at its ridiculous comments on Edwards, though I know it is serious—and sad. But sometimes, you just have to laugh. Then I moved on to discuss Graeme Codrington’s amazing way of removing

James White’s Upcoming Appearances in South Africa

Rich Pierce, October 1, 2015, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Theology Matters

Friday 9 Oct, 2015 at 7:00pm Gracepoint Church, Duncan Rd, Midrand, 2191, South Africa Debate: Is same sex marriage consistent with Biblical Ethics and Law?

The Moral Insanity Grows Worse—Continuation of Review of James Brownson

James White, September 3, 2015, Exegesis, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

Had to spend some time discussing today’s events in the jailing of Kim Davis, and then went back into our review of James Brownson’s presentation on Romans 1. This will be the last DL I will be hosting for a while, as I head to Zurich and Kiev to teach over the next few weeks, but we will be continuing

Demythologizing Scholarship: James Brownson Examined

James White, September 1, 2015, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We finally got a start on our response to James Brownson’s presentations on Romans 1 today on the Dividing Line, focusing upon how to recognize how scholars can twist and turn the data to allow them to get to their desired conclusions. We examined Brownson’s attempt to disconnect Paul from Genesis and instead demand that Paul’s use of “nature” should

Outlasting the Gay Revolution: Michael Brown’s New Book (Plus Some Fun Interaction Toward the End on Other Important Matters)

James White, August 20, 2015, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Oneness Pentecostalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I was joined my Michael Brown today to discuss his new book, Outlasting the Gay Revolution. I had read the book a few months ago, and it is now available. We discussed the principles he lays out for a “multi-generational approach” to the subject. We covered that during the first 45 minutes, and then we discussed two issues together, one a

Seer Stones, Hillsong Church, and KJVOnly Deceitfulness

James White, August 5, 2015, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Three topics on today’s program: started off with the story of Joseph Smith’s “Seer Stone” and the recent publication of pictures of it by the LDS Church (my, how times have changed!). Then we moved on to the Hillsong story, Carl Lentz, Brian Houston, and the very confusing, odd statement released a few days ago that seems to indicate that

Two Articles on Homosexuality, the Profaning of Marriage, and the Church

James White, July 16, 2015, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

Decided to do a little more review of the Karen Swallow Prior article in Christianity Today so as to shed some light on the language it uses, and the compromise it presents, and also to try to redeem some of the fury that has been ignited over the P&P article about her. So much dust has been thrown in the

A Mega Size Dividing Line: Matthew Vines, NT Wright, Yusuf Ismail, and More

James White, July 14, 2015, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Going almost a full two hours today was pretty easy, given how much I needed to catch up on! Did nearly a full hour on Matthew Vines’ comments about me from a recent Google video, then played a clip from NT Wright on predestination and election, then I addressed my Muslim friends, and finished up going back to the issue

Thoughts on SCOTUS and Phone Calls

James White, July 7, 2015, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line

Meandering thoughts over a week after the SCOTUS decision (and in light of recording a program relevant thereto with Jeff Durbin and the folks at Apologia this afternoon) due to my travel schedule started the program today. Then we went to calls and covered a wide variety of topics, including getting into a little Star Trek trivia in passing! v

A Believing Response to Matthew Vines’ 40 Questions

James White, July 3, 2015, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality

Matthew Vines has posted a series of forty questions, found here. I have written up a fairly brief response. I hope it is helpful. Do you accept that sexual orientation is not a choice? The very question simplifies the topic to a ridiculous level, Matthew. The desires a human experiences come from many factors—and as one who claims to be

A Mini-DL Report on the Dr. Drew Show

James White, June 17, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

Came straight to the office from Sky Harbor Airport to do a mini-DL (30 minutes). Wanted to report on the Dr. Drew taping which will air Wednesday, June 17th at 9pm EDT, and then re-air Thursday afternoon on HLN, so that’s what we did! Hope you enjoy some of the “behind the scenes” information, and pray that God will use

David Gushee Reviewed and Refuted

Rich Pierce, June 16, 2015, Homosexuality

James has asked me to compile the complete response to David Gushee’s ‘Reformation Project’ speech. Here you will find the three episodes in order compiling a full five hours of response. Here are the YouTube versions of the same programs:

My Full Response to the Dr. Drew “After Show” Video

James White, June 11, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I honestly thought it would take about fifteen minutes to cover this three minute video. I was, uh, wrong. Big time. Took the entire hour. But, I wanted to respond to the comments made by Dr. Drew and his panelists (especially when one of them said I was insane) and hopefully in so doing demonstrate the utter emptiness of the

Thoughts on the Dr. Drew Show, ESPN’s Shame, and Continuing with Anjem Choudary

James White, June 4, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Discussed my experience daring to commit heresy in the courtyard of the High Temple of Secularism (aka, on national media) by even mentioning the lordship of Jesus, briefly commented on the disgusting, reprehensible, immoral act of ESPN in giving Bruce Jenner an award for bravery and courage. Then made a few comments about David Barron’s “misrepresentation” complaint, and got back

Our Move to SermonAudio, Robert Gagnon on Unbelievable; Anti-Calvinists Promote Heterodoxy; Calls

James White, May 21, 2015, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started off the program with some comments on our move to SermonAudio and how you can get your iTunes feed working again. Then we listened to Robert Gagnon on Unbelievable, and then briefly noted the disturbing trends amongst those in the SBC who are desperate to stem the rising tide of Reformed theology therein. Then we took a few calls.

Finishing Up Review/Rebuttal of David Gushee “Reformation Project” Presentation

James White, April 29, 2015, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Finished up a five hour response to David Gushee on his presentation identifying the biblical view of homosexuality as a message of “contempt.” We hope to put the entire five hours into a single audio file available for download. Given the recent events at the Supreme Court, this is a vital discussion. Here is the YouTube link:

Continued Response to Dr. David Gushee (Part 2)

James White, April 23, 2015, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

Here is another 90 minutes of response to Dr. David Gushee in response to his presentation at the Reformation Project back in 2014. I only got through about 12 minutes today as I took more time to expand upon particular points. If you are enjoying this response and finding it useful and edifying, please, share it with others! Here is

Responding to Dr. David Gushee’s “Reformation Project” Presentation

James White, April 21, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

I began a multi-part, full response to Dr. David Gushee’s presentation at the Reformation Project conference back in 2014 on today’s 90 minute long program. Gushee has taken the position of “lead ally” and scholar in support of the “gay Christian” movement, asserting that the church is guilty of hurting her “sexual minorities.” It is important to understand the arguments

Adelphopoiesis – Brother Adoption, not Same-Sex Marriage

TurretinFan, April 21, 2015, Homosexuality

Certain movements recycle old, long-debunked arguments, counting on folks not to realize that these arguments have been forgotten because they were without merit. One such argument is the idea that adelphopoiesis was an ancient form of same-sex marriage. Let’s address the timing issue first. The rite of adelphopoiesis is apparently documented from the ninth to the 15th century among the

Lots of Things to Interest a Wide Variety of Folks

James White, April 17, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Gave a brief report on my trip to Spain (having gotten home late last evening) and then spent time discussing Marco Rubio’s comments on attending a ceremony wherein marriage is profaned and blasphemed. Then we looked at an article by Roger Olson demonstrating that anti-Reformed sentiment leads many to reject God’s right to define Himself, and His own goodness. Then

A Quick Plug…

Colin Smith, March 15, 2015, Homosexuality

A few weeks ago, Dr. White gave a positive shout-out to Rosaria Butterfield’s book THE SECRET THOUGHTS OF AN UNLIKELY CONVERT. The sub-heading is “An English Professor’s Journey into Christian Faith.” In this book, Rosaria recounts her conversion to Christ from what appeared to be a “good life” with a steady, tenured teaching position at a respected university where she

In Studio Guest JD Hall Plus Rob Bell and Oprah (They Were Not in Studio)

James White, February 19, 2015, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

JD Hall is in town for the great Theonomy debate tomorrow evening, so we had him as our in-studio guest, talking about a lot of things, including Peter Lumpkins (just for the fun of it). We also reviewed Rob Bell’s ZimZum of Apostasy. Here is the YouTube link:
