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:

A Wide-Ranging, Important, Jumbo-Sized Dividing Line!

James White, January 8, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Persecution, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off commenting on a number of issues, such as the anti-Christian discrimination of the Mayor of Atlanta. Discussed the radical Muslim murders in Paris, seeking once again to ask my serious Muslim friends to consider what it is about their faith that allows such things (it’s a spiritual issue—can Islam address it?), and I briefly responded to Jason Stellman

The Vile Hate Mongering of Dan Savage

James White, January 3, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution

I posted the following on FaceBook earlier today together with this picture of a tweet by Dan Savage, the infamous promoter of immorality: This tweet by Dan Savage illustrates the very essence of the reprobate mind, it truly does. Josh Alcorn’s parents refused to pay to mutilate the body of their son in hopes that his sexual confusion could be

David Gushee abandons a biblical view of homosexuality

James White, November 13, 2014, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

Sorry for the very late posting! This program primarily focused upon the comments made by David Gushee in reference to his abandonment of a consistently biblical view of homosexuality, Matthew Vines’ Twitter comments demanding the celebration of homosexuality, and then (switching gears), Austin Fischer and Romans 9. Here is the YouTube link:

Dr. Gushee: Your Moral Compass Just Exploded

James White, November 7, 2014, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality

David Gushee is calling upon the Christian church to abandon a belief it has held from its inception. In fact, given that Christians believe God’s truth has been revealed to man from the beginning, we are speaking of a conviction that has been held now for about 3,400 years. Of course, in the minds of the modern generation, that is

NJ/NY Trip Details/Examining Carl Lentz on HuffPo

James White, October 27, 2014, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Started off going over the schedule for my New Jersey/New York trip which starts Saturday, and then spent the majority of the rest of the time examining the comments of Pastor Carl Lentz of Hillsong Church New York while being interviewed on HuffPo. Lots of discussion of the purpose of the church, declaring the whole counsel of God, and the

A Twitter Dialogue with Matthew Vines

James White, October 24, 2014, Homosexuality, Theology Matters

It took months, but Matthew Vines and I finally exchanged a series of tweets about my standing invitation to him to debate his claims. It began with someone informing me that I was being mentioned; I then searched for the tweets, and the conversation began: @DrOakley1689 Care to join the conversation? He’s talking about you. . . JW to MV:

The Soft, Kind, Loving Face of Hate

James White, October 22, 2014, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Once the moral and ethical infrastructure of a meaningful worldview based upon our status as creatures of God is removed from the thinking of the human being, a vacuum develops. That vacuum, in today’s radically secularized world, is being filled with mind-numbing mantras uttered in complete disregard for their consistency or truthfulness. A population robbed of its creational foundation is

Three Main Topics Today on the Dividing Line

James White, August 28, 2014, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

We started out with an update on what is going on down in Australia with our brother David Ould and a reality TV show he did. We hope to have David on, probably on 9/9, to discuss what is going on with the “spin” and the cultural response to a Christian witness regarding homosexuality. Then we shifted gears and discussed

A Wide Ranging Mega-Sized Edition of the Dividing Line

James White, July 22, 2014, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a discussion of President Obama’s recent actions promoting ungodliness in the land, then discussed the recent WHO guidelines demonstrating that homosexuality is unnatural and devastating to human flourishing. Discussed briefly the upcoming preaching by Ergun Caner at First Baptist Woodstock, and gave some guidelines to anyone who will be attending. Then we moved on to talk about

Response to the Video “Just People,” Followed by More Anti-Calvinist Derangement Syndrome

James White, June 17, 2014, Homosexuality, The Dividing Line

I spent the first hour responding to the video “Just People” which was posted on Vimeo recently relating to homosexuality on the campus of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix Arizona—my alma mater. The last half hour involved a response to a “Dear John” letter that was posted, for a while anyway, on the SBC Today blog. Here is the YouTube
