Exposing False Attacks Upon the Trinity

James White, August 5, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line

We had not planned to do a DL today, but with the release of a video from Yahya Snow we decided to review two of his offerings, both of which contain misrepresentations of Christian belief. By analyzing these videos hopefully the believer will be better prepared to give an answer for the faith, and to recognize the next “Yahya Snowjob”

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

A Jumbo Mega Dividing Line—If That Makes Sense

James White, July 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Three sections to today’s 2 hour, 20 minute long program: first, we responded to Jacob Prasch’s reply to last weeks Radio Free Geneva. But unlike Prasch, we played his comments not just once, but twice, carefully analyzing his entire response as a classic example of a complete abandonment of proper forms of argumentation and logic. Very helpful for those who

A New Journal – Call for Articles

Jeff Downs, July 19, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics

Do you or someone you know (sounds like a commercial) have a special interest in the following area: cults, the occult, new religious movement, world religions, and general apologetics? If so please

Ignatius in His Own Words; Problematic EFS Quotes; Doubling Down on False Judging from Afar

James White, July 7, 2016, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a Skype-based Dividing Line from Colorado today, spending quite some time on Ignatius in response to claims by some Muslim apologists about his views. Then discussed some quotes from Bruce Ware on “eternal functional subordinationism” and the entire conflict. Finished up addressing He Who Judges From Afar doubling down on his position. And lots of other stuff thrown in

Consistency and Fairness Once Again; Then More on the Comma and Textual Criticism

James White, June 16, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Managed to sneak in a third Dividing Line this week (since I have no idea what the next few weeks will bring, for, uh, medical reasons). Yup, talked a bit more about fairness, consistency, etc., and then moved on to a bit more on textual criticism, traditionalism, and the Comma Johanneum. I don’t know when the next DL will be, but,

Of Hearing, But Not Hearing

James White, June 16, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam

Why is it that some people simply refuse to hear what you are saying? How can you state something as clearly as it could possibly be stated, but they still hear only part of it, rather than the whole? Bigotry. A deep dedication to a set of propositions that end up functioning as a filter that screens out all

More on Simple Truthfulness and Consistency, Steve Hays Melts Down, Quick Review of Oneness Advocate Steve Ritchie

James White, June 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went over some developments in the Orlando situation and once again had to address the insanity of asserting that there is only one monolithic Islam and that everything done in the world by anyone who yells “Allahu Akbar!” is to be held to the account of every single Muslim on the planet. Then we noted the melt-down of Steve Hays

Responding to Orlando

James White, June 13, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Many thoughts, many considerations, hopefully helpful, hopefully challenging, maybe controversial. Offered for your consideration. Here is the YouTube link:

Islamic Apologetics and Islamic Apologists

James White, June 1, 2016, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Mainly focused on a debate from Melbourne on the Qur’an today, but included a response to Yusuf Ismail’s use of Matthew 10 in the (always) vain attempt to establish the idea that Jesus was ONLY sent to the Jews and that His message was not for all men everywhere. No more DL’s this week…I’ll be at ReformCon tomorrow and Friday.

Tonight’s Debate will be LIVE at 1:00pm EDT

Rich Pierce, May 13, 2016, Islam

Update: NO NO….I was wrong…. 2:00pm EDT TWO! Tonight’s Debate will be LIVESTREAMED HERE

Various Articles and Open Phones

James White, April 28, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with various articles that I’ve collected, one by a Roman Catholic taking cheap shots at me, others on the continuing degradation of our society and the rise of totalitarianism. Then we opened up the phones and took calls on such subjects as the regulative principle of worship (actually got into the exclusive psalmody and instruments in worship debate

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, April 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off talking with Mike O’Fallon from Geneva, Switzerland about our upcoming cruise to Alaska in September (don’t miss out!), and then played a clip from a recent Kent Hovind video where, irony of ironies, he is accused of doing everything Gail Riplinger accused me of doing—which he himself repeated and promoted! Well, what goes around comes around, as they

Western Rush to Moral Anarchy and Paul Williams at Speaker’s Corner

James White, April 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, The Dividing Line

Pretty well split the program in half, the first being on developments in the ongoing rush to rid Western culture of the last vestiges of civilization and morality, and the second focusing upon Muslim apologist Paul Williams and his comments at Speaker’s Corner in London. Would love to challenge Williams to defend his statements in public debate on May 13th

Enns, Mouw, and the Foundation of Scripture

James White, April 7, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide range of themes but tried, anyway, to connect them together. Will let you judge if I succeeded! Discussed a little bit of Peter Enns’ new book, noted Dr. Mouw’s continued white-washing of Mormonism, etc. Toward the end started looking at some Muslim issues as well. Here is the YouTube link:

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

South Africa Update and Responding to Marcus Rogers on the Trinity

James White, February 25, 2016, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Oneness Pentecostalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a guest, Rudolph Bushoff, from South Africa, talking about our May journey to South Africa (and we still need your help to get there!), and then tackled the Marcus Rogers video denying the Trinity. Went just a little long, but hope it will be helpful to folks. Here is the YouTube link:

Yahya Snow Attempts to Divide and Fails

James White, February 16, 2016, Islam

So Yahya Snow just posted this video. It proves that there are Christian scholars in the world who distinguish between the “historical Jesus” and the “Christ of faith.” This is not exactly news to anyone seriously involved in Christian theology, of course, but it seems to be news to Mr. Snow, whose sole role in life it seems is to

Roman Meme Theology, Data Mining the Bible and Qur’an, Wael Ibrahim, and a Live Viewing of Kent Hovind

James White, February 9, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video

Randal Rauser and then Hamza Tzortzis and Adnan Rashid on the Bible

James White, January 5, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Briefly looked at some comments about atheism and the suppression of the knowledge of God by Randal Rouser, but moved fairly quickly to a response to Hamza Tzortzis and Adnan Rashid on the alleged corruption of the Bible (OK, we took a few minutes to discuss tribbles, but let’s not get into that now). Got less than half-way through, though,

Lots of Topics and Articles

James White, December 23, 2015, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Dealt with a number of articles on the program today from a stack of articles I had thrown into Evernote, including dealing with the decline in religious freedom, the Pope and indulgences, Muslim nations banning Christmas—even a few words on Piper’s controversial article about Christians and self-defense. A wide-ranging show! Here is the YouTube link:

Troubling Thoughts from Dr. Jeffress About ISIS, Then Back to Reviewing Wael Ibrahim

James White, December 22, 2015, Islam, The Dividing Line

We did a jumbo edition (90 minutes), starting off listening to the comments of Dr. Jeffress from First Baptist Dallas from a few weeks ago (linked below). Let’s say I was…troubled. Then we went back to my response to Wael Ibrahim focusing upon the New Testament’s testimony to the deity of the Lord Jesus. Here is the YouTube link:

Do Christians and Muslims WORSHIP the Same God?

James White, December 22, 2015, Christian Worldview, Islam, Theology Matters

Lots of answers have been offered to this question of late, but I’d like to offer a “yes and no” answer that goes into a bit more depth. One thing is for certain, the question should force many Christians to consider well just how central the Trinity is to their worship!

A Quick Word on the Current Controversy

James White, December 17, 2015, Islam

I saw this coming, which is why I commented recently on whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. The Qur’an, in a fashion, says yes: And say, “We believe in that which was sent down unto us and was sent down unto you; our God and your God are one, and unto Him are we submitters.” Q 29:46 But

A One Hour Forty Minute Start to My Response to Wael Ibrahim on the Trinity

James White, December 17, 2015, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Began a hopefully respectful, helpful review of the arguments and claims of Muslim speaker Wael Ibrahim in a recent debate on the Trinity in Hong Kong. Wael seems like a really nice man, has a very winning personality and approach, so reviewing his position should be very helpful to all who wish a deeper knowledge of the Trinity and who

“White has lost the capacity to argue in good faith”

James White, December 10, 2015, General Apologetics, Islam, Simply Silly

Steve Hays of Triablogue has decided to go full tilt attack mode. Fine. I had hoped to avoid taking him on but he clearly is not interested in that. I will be brief, but the accusations of self-contradiction (when it is Mr. Hays who is sorely lacking in his understanding both of Islam and who cannot seem to recognize when

Today’s Document from the Vatican on the Covenants and Putting the Shoe on the Other Foot

James White, December 10, 2015, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

The Vatican released a new document today on Jewish/Christian relationship and the Old and New Covenants (found here). It is a lengthy, verbose testimony to the maxim, “Theology Matters” and a very eloquent witness to the necessity of sola scriptura. Then I addressed “putting the shoe on the other foot,” specifically, how we Christians are oh so properly skeptical about religious

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

Facebook Insanity

James White, December 6, 2015, General Apologetics, Islam

I just finished a wonderful weekend teaching on the subject of homosexuality, marriage, and the Christian response to the current melt-down of Western culture on these issues at one of my favorite churches in the US, Covenant of Grace Church in St. Charles, Missouri. We had folks travel from all over to join with us, so it was a great

Two Contrasting Views of Islam, and Then a Little on CRISPR (Jumbo Edition)

James White, December 2, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line

Spent the first 70 minutes or so contrasting two videos on Islam, one from Talk Islam decrying the violence in Paris, the other the newest ISIS promo video which I call “ISIS Hollywood.” Lots of discussion of sources, interpretation, etc., especially in light of the ridiculous accusation that honestly recognizing differences amongst Muslims makes you “soft” on Islam. Then toward

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
