James White, July 19, 2024, Ken Wilson, Misc, Mormonism, Open Phones, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

I am thankful that Twitter was not taken down by today’s huge IT crash/failure, since we took our questions from our audience, and they were great questions! We will definitely have to do it this way in the future when I am traveling (much less technically challenging than trying to take calls when I am remote). Covered a wide variety

The Changing World of Mormonism…and the Vatican

James White, July 11, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Misc, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After playing Joe Biden calling the president of Ukraine “President Putin,” we looked at how the passing of time has brought changes to Mormonism, and then looked at how such development takes place within Roman Catholicism as well.

Eucharistic Miracles and the Modern Roman Catholic Situation

James White, July 5, 2024, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Jumped off from a few Twitter conversations to discuss “eucharistic miracles” and related topics, all pretty much on Roman Catholicism. I did start of the show with Biden’s “I am not going to drop out, and we will beat Donald Trump in 2020!” statement from earlier today.

The Mormon Question and Then Open Phones

James White, June 13, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Open Theism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Briefly addressed the “Mormon Question” in light of the recent get-together featuring Glenn Beck, then went to the phones, answering questions on the meaning of Elohim, Open Theism, Mormon Polygamy, prayer to saints, the Sovereignty of God, and finally the schools of Antioch and Alexandria.

Rich Saves France; Injustice in America; Eastern Orthodoxy’s Anthropology; Two Responses to Dan McClellan

James White, June 11, 2024, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Went more than 90 minutes today, mainly looking at first at the amazing corruption of the justice system in America and how it flows from the rejection of our Christian heritage and the embracing of secularism. Then we played a 60 second video from an Eastern Orthodox priest denying penal, substitutionary atonement. Then we finished up our response to Dan

Creeds and Confessions, Dan McClellan Continued

James White, June 7, 2024, CBGM, Church History, Mormonism, Personal, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Worked through a thirteen tweet discussion about creeds and confessions and Biblical sufficiency from Dr. Brad Klassen, posted on 5/30, then got back to Dan McClellan’s comments about the manuscripts of the New Testament.

KJV Only Abuse of Numerology, Dan McClellan on NT Manuscripts

James White, June 4, 2024, CBGM, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Had a bunch of other stuff I didn’t get to, but did manage to look at an excellent example of how KJVOism destroys real confidence in the Bible by looking at an example provided by Pastor Jonathan Burris (here) regarding the abuse of Deuteronomy 16:11 by one such KJVO advocate. Then we moved over to this video from Dan McClellan,

The Changing World of Mormonism, A Few Tweets, 90 Minutes

James White, May 28, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Mormonism, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent most of the first hour dealing with the changing world of Mormonism in light of comments from the “Ward Radio Show” and the idea of “religious bigotry” in not accepting Mormonism and its plurality of Gods as a Christian church. Looked at a chart about global fertility rates and what the future might hold in light of the collapse

Islam and the Jews: a Review, then, 40th Celebration Recap

James White, October 10, 2023, Islam, Mormonism, Personal, The Dividing Line

In light of recent events in Israel we took the first 55 minutes or so of the program to review issues in Islam, looking at the Qur’an and hadith to understand the animus Islam produces toward the Jews. It’s been quite a while since we did any in-depth discussion of Islam, so I provided a lot of basic explanations of

A Twitter Theology Dividing Line

James White, August 31, 2023, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Wrapping up our home stand before I head out next week with a pretty high energy program running through topics brought up on social media. We looked at how Francis is going to update his 2015 encyclical on the environment soon and asked, “If he can’t see the scam of climate change, how can he have much insight at all?”

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, August 11, 2023, Jehovah's Witnesses, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off showing my newly “dyed” Bible texts, following the process laid out by Jeffery Rice in this video, and then took calls on Rushdooney, Alma Allred (Mormonism), recognizing novel and soon to be abandoned ideas in theology, wokeness in the Assemblies of God, and dealing with Jehovah’s Witnesses on the eternality of Jesus. Also, we had one Modalistic caller

The Changing World of Mormonism

James White, June 20, 2023, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Went in the big studio today to talk about Mormonism and the challenges we face today in seeking to witness of the truth to members of the LDS Church. Did a good bit of reminiscing along the path, since the first books I read and studied from the LDS Church were purchased 41 years ago now. Had them in studio

Responding to Rome Including a Review of Indulgentiarum Doctrina

James White, March 27, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

Took a few minutes to look at the new Obscurity of Scripture book and its two references to me, which led to a discussion of Jason Stellman, and then on to the document Indulgentiarum Doctrina. Finished up the program with a warning about legislation being introduced in California, Washington, and Minnesota, giving the State the power to take away your

Sam Gipp Versus the KJV Translators, Mormonism Review Including the Book of Abraham

James White, January 17, 2023, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Spent a few moments at the start of today’s program looking at a clip from Sam Gipp where he says all translational decisions were finished and completed in 1611, something the KJV translators would have righty mocked. Then we dove into Isaiah and Jeremiah for key texts to present to Mormons, then took a brief look at the Book of

Why You Can’t Have a Gas Stove, Then Mormonism 101—Part 1

James White, January 12, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

First half hour is on how the Regime’s attempt to get rid of gas ovens is, in reality, connected to everything else, including the insanity of thinking four year olds can “choose” their gender. Then we moved into Mormonism and, I will be honest, I just could not stop telling stories from all our thousands of hours of encounters with

Mormonism’s Capitulation, Open Phones with Great Calls

James White, November 16, 2022, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

We started off with the Senate’s consideration of the evil “Respect for Marriage Act,” which, of course, is the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and how the LDS leadership in Salt Lake City capitulated on basic Christian belief on the matter by favoring the passage of the bill. Then we took great calls on what it is to be Reformed, the

The I Am Sayings of Jesus as an Example of Exegesis and Hermeneutics

James White, August 15, 2022, Church History, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Today we did a Road Trip DL in the rain up here in Colorado, focusing upon the I Am sayings of Jesus and using them as an example of what believing, exegesis looks like in contrast with modern methods, or the supposedly superior “pre-modern” method seen in Scholasticism, etc. Tomorrow we will be doing on “Open Zoom” program with your

The Decline of Mormonism, John 17:5 and a Lot of Replies to Critics

James White, April 27, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Mormonism, Offense, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Since I am in Cedar City, Utah, I started off the program with a discussion of the decline of Mormonism, its reasons, and how we need to be praying to be used of God to bring light to the darkness. Then I had to dive into some of the amazing things being claimed, asserted, and just plain lied about regarding

Roadtrip DL from Salt Lake City: Jackson-Brown and the Culture of Death

James White, April 8, 2022, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Never dreamed in the early 1980s I would someday be doing a live “webcast” (of all things!) from Salt Lake City, but here we are! Discussed the Jackson-Brown issue in light of the Christian worldview and many other related issues. Also listened to Brandan Robertson twist John 11 into a homosexual-affirming pretzel.

Christian vs. Mormon Debate Review

James White, March 17, 2022, Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I was joined in studio by Daniel Constantino and Oscar Dunlap to discuss their debate with two LDS representatives a few weeks ago at Apologia Church. Goodness, how Mormonism has changed! Almost 90 minutes of discussion, even though I was not able to play much of the debate due to a technical problem with how my computer was connected to

ECM of Mark, Mormons Hide in Basements, Gregory on the Spirit

James White, August 31, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

The ECM volumes of Mark arrived ten minutes before the program started, so that sort of distracted me, so I spent some time talking textual issues, CBGM, etc., before moving to the Mormons and their fear of Covid. Talked a bit about the overwhelming flood of negative information and how we need to protect our joy from the corrosive influence

Pope Francis’ Inclusivism, Mormonism’s Prophets and Priests

James White, January 14, 2021, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent some necessary time looking at “the Pope Video I,” Francis’ recent video promoting a kind of squishy ecumenical message that while consistent with some trajectories from Vatican II is certainly not consistent with historic Roman Catholic theology. Then we looked at some questions regarding Mormonism, focusing on the idea of the priesthood and the concept of prophets. Mentioned a

Paul’s Expanded Shema and Important Truths in Handling Scripture

James White, November 26, 2020, Exegesis, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a little discussion of the upcoming seminar in St. Charles (see below), and then focused on 1 Corinthians chapter 8 for the rest of the program, discussing interpretational issues and dangers especially our audience might face in doing apologetics and exegesis. Finished off with some discussion of a major textual variant in Isaiah 9:6 between the Hebrew

John 10:34-35 Are Men Gods?

James White, October 20, 2020, Mormonism

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken:” John 10:34-35 KJV This passage is part of the longer section dealing with Jesus’ disputation with the Jews concerning who He is and just how He relates

Another Potpourri Show!

James White, July 21, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started off with two videos and a little report from the weekend (including my having the awesome honor of baptizing two of my granddaughters, Kadence and Clementine). Then I showed off my new Jeffrey Rice/PTL LXX set and talked about this coming Sunday’s sermon at Apologia on compatibilism. Eventually we made it around to the subject of Mormonism and modifications

Another Potpourri of Topics, Including the Future of Mormonism

James White, July 9, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Covered a lot of topics including Don Lemon’s comments from 2013 (and how I said the exact same thing in 2016), as well as his “Jesus wasn’t perfect” comments from yesterday. Looked at a new X-Ray map of the universe, and finished up looking at the future of Mormonism.

Four Open Phone Calls, Leighton Flowers Says I Only Use “Biased” Sources

James White, May 22, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Mormonism, Musings, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

We started off with four phone calls on various topics from around the country, and then listened to some comments from Leighton Flowers insisting that I never use unbiased sources in my response to Ken Wilson. Then we had a little church history discussion before signing off for the week. About 84 minutes or so.

Four Calls and then Overview of Issues in Church History

James White, May 8, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Mormonism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

We took four calls to start the show, and I was so verbose and long-winded that that took us 55 minutes. So much for brevity on my part! The calls were on federal headship and Romans 5, “not My will but Yours” in Luke 22 (esp. as it relates to Oneness theology), Bahnsen vs. Sproul debate, and using presuppositional apologetics

Mylo Hatzenbuhler Live, Gnosticism, Jonathan Merritt, and the Dangers of Home Schooling

James White, April 20, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Was joined at the top of the hour by the one and only Mylo Hatzenbuhler (Clyde Bauman) who performed for us his new song, “Hand Sanitizer,” and discussed life as the greatest living farm-themed rock star (and he really is). Then we talked a little Gnosticism, Jonathan Merritt’s apostasy, and the Arizona Law Journal article warning about the “dangers” of

Seb Goldswain, Big Brother Announces His Rulership, Leighton Flowers Goes Full-On Pelagian

James White, April 16, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Persecution, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a visit from the “Jazzy Segovia of South Africa,” my Christian brother Sebastian Goldwain. Seb lives just outside Durban, and we’ve been able to get together a few times when I’ve been down there. He is a guitar virtuoso, a real talent, and he joined us for the first 45 minutes to talk music, the lock down,

Remembering LDS Outreach, Cyprian to the Martyrs in the Mines, Further Ken Wilson Examination

James White, April 14, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Mormonism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started off reminiscing about our LDS outreach from long ago, looking at my old copies of the Triple Combination. Then we gave background on the great martyr bishop Cyprian, and read his entire epistle to the Christians imprisoned in the mines, a truly challenging work. Then we returned to listening to the 2018 interview by Leighton Flower of Ken Wilson.
