James White, September 18, 2023, Debate, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

I think I am somewhere in North Carolina, on my way to Atlanta for G3. Have a bit of a preview of what will be upcoming there, and then reviewed the debate I had with Dr. Gregory Coles on Saturday afternoon, discussing the language and terminology issues relevant to “Side B” advocates of “Gay Christianity.”

Upcoming Debate Thoughts, Jesse Duplantis, Thabiti Anyabwile

James White, September 15, 2023, Debate, Homosexuality, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

Slightly shorter program today as I speak this evening here in PA. Discussed the upcoming debate and relevant issues, played a clip from Jesse Duplantis, and a clip from Thabiti Anyabwile as well.

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?”

90 Minutes of Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, August 24, 2023, Exegesis, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I started off with a few comments on the coming mask mandates, etc. Then, we took quite a variety of questions today from our callers! We discussed head coverings and Michael Heiser’s odd views on 1 Cor. 11; Hebrews 1:10 and its citation of Psalm 102; angels and demons today; how to translate the Greek term θέλω (thelo); and finally

Responding to Trent Horn on Theopneustos, Part I

James White, August 15, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Went just over 90 minutes today. The first quarter hour we talked briefly about dying Bible pages (showed off my recent examples) and the descent of the US into true banana republic status. Then we launched into Trent Horn’s response to me on theopneustos, getting into a wide variety of topics such as church history, lexicography, and the like. We

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

Jumbo Dividing Line: Biblicism is the Road to Rome (Steve Meister)? Then Semantic Domains and Much More

James White, August 4, 2023, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Ninety minutes in the big studio today using the big board to look at some important topics. Started off with a little KJV Only silliness, then a little TR-Only silliness, and then on to comments made by IRBC pastor Steve Meister on Josh Sommer’s program about biblicism being the “road to Rome.” Having corrected that idea, we moved into the

Some Voices from the Past, the Importance of Biblicism

James White, July 28, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Other than discussing some upcoming events (such as the debate in Pennsylvania), we took some time to listen to some voices from the past (Chrysostom, Jerome) and think about how things have changed. We also took some time to consider the definition of biblicism in the current controversy.

A Jumbo Road Trip DL!

James White, July 17, 2023, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Started off today’s program talking about upcoming debates. Unfortunately, during the program itself, Chris Arnzen got word that Dr. Brownson will not be pursuing the debate on the 16th of September. However, we have another opponent lined up and will be able to give you information on that in a few days. Spent a while responding to portions of a

Road Trip DL: 1 Cor 8, the Shema, and Ignatius

James White, June 29, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Made it through a few thunderstorms during the show today focusing on unitarianism, the Christian Shema in 1 Corinthians 8, and the testimony of Ignatius to not only the deity of Christ, but the two natures of Christ as well.

Road Trip DL from Santa Fe

James White, June 27, 2023, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Had to record the program today due to the location I am at in Santa Fe (possibly due to weather issues as well, not completely sure). Talked about the Australian legislation being proposed to give the state pretty much full control over speech and how we have taken our eyes off the ball as the totalitarians continue their global march.

Bruce Jenner Is Still Here, Then Leighton Flowers and Colossians 2:12

James White, June 22, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off with stories about California and Michigan pressing the woke gender ideology that is a plague upon us all. Then, finally, as promised almost two weeks ago, I got to Leighton Flowers and his “Calvinists cannot answer Colossians 2:12” argument and discovered that in fact it seems it is the Provisionists who have to struggle with that particular text.

The Problem with the Pope

James White, June 15, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church History, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Our main discussion today was based upon Pope Francis’ kind letter to Fr. Martin and the LGBTQ folks meeting tomorrow at Fordham University. What does this letter mean, and where is Rome really going today? The alleged “certainty” that flows from the claim of Papal authority is a two-edged sword that really ends up showing us that Rome’s “constancy” is

Solo Flight #2: Christ’s Reign, Derek Webb’s Darkness, Answering Leighton Flowers

James White, June 8, 2023, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Was running solo again today but managed to dive into a number of topics as well as get into the original language texts on topics such as Paul’s use of Psalm 2, 8, 110, and the nature of Christ’s kingdom and reign. We also talked a bit about Derek Webb’s deep dive into spiritual darkness, and finished up looking at

My First Solo Flight on the Dividing Line!

James White, June 6, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I ran everything myself today, so even I am interested in how it turned out! Covered a lot of current events driven topics, which, being June, included a lot of cultural stuff, the sufficiency of Scripture, legal cases, the SBC, that kind of stuff. Touched lightly on eschatology, law, etc. Just over an hour in length.

Thinking Through the Ugandan Controversy

James White, June 1, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

It is very sad that the the Church does not speak with a unified voice in the modern world. Yet it remains our duty to think through, as Christians, the key issues we are facing in this world gone insane with its destructive rebellion. Today we looked at the comparison of a progressivist, “liberal” view on homosexuality with the comments

What are We Conserving? What are we Debating?

James White, May 30, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off with some thoughts on Ted Cruz’s tweet about Uganda and Charlie Kirk’s comments about conservatism. What are we supposed to be conserving if such basic, foundational truths as family and marriage are negotiable? Then we looked at an article Catholic Answers published last year in response to the “White Question” and then finished up talking about debates (as

Road Trip Dividing Line: It Wasn’t Broke, We Fixed It Anyway

James White, May 18, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Ok, so its a bit herky jerky at the start but it clears up after about 20 minutes. – Rich So I was a bit worried when Rich said he was going to do something different–and this time I was right. The first part of the program is, well, sadly, not overly useful. I talked with Pastor Derrick Melton about

A Starlink Dividing Line!

James White, May 16, 2023, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Technology, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I cannot tell you how excited I am! I had always hoped Starlink would be a way for us to do what we need to do as far as Internet access while traveling, but we had real latency problems with it. Well, we decided to just try today and see what happened…and it not only worked perfectly for an hour

Road Trip DL: Report on Progress, Apologia Weighs In, Thoughts on Daniel 7, Mohler on Theonomy

James White, May 12, 2023, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Halfway through my May trip, currently in Memphis, headed up toward Nashville before doubling back to Pryor, Oklahoma. Gave a bit of a report on my time at GBTS in Conway, then got into Apologia Radio’s response to G3, then moved on to consider how Daniel 7 relates to other key passages, and finished up reviewing Albert Mohler’s article on

More Attempts at Sneaking Man’s Autonomy into Scripture

James White, May 10, 2023, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Thomism

After a brief review of a further comment by Stephen Wolfe (that I missed on the last show), we went back to Ephesians 1 after listening to a monologue by Leighton Flowers seeking to establish synergism by…assuming it! Brought Accordance in once again and dove into the text. Had one little interruption (the kind lady who runs the RV park,

Road Trip Dividing Line From Conway, Arkansas

James White, May 9, 2023, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I am at GBTS in Conway and we managed (despite some challenges!) to get a full DL in today! Caught up with a lot that has happened over the past week or so on a number of topics. Hope the discussion is useful and helpful in the midst of all the fog being produced today. We will go for another

And We Have Lift Off!

James White, May 3, 2023, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Without any unscheduled sudden disassembly, either! Our first Road Trip Dividing Line in our new Mobile Command Studio was a success! Sure, we have some tweaking to do (Rich discovered the microphone presets did not save, for example), but we are just ecstatic that sitting here in our 35 foot Jayco Fifth Wheel RV in Kerrville, Texas, we were able

Upcoming Trip, Then Story Time with Grampa Jimmy

James White, April 28, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eschatology, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Talked a bit about the upcoming trip, new new rig and studio, and the fact that HOPEFULLY next Tuesday we will do a live DL from the rig in the new studio AND at the same time auction off a gorgeous Jeffrey Rice LSB rebind (I am told on Twitter it is a “LSB 2 Column in Steel Grey Badalassi

A Dividing Line I Cannot Summarize!

James White, April 20, 2023, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

We have a guy at Apologia who posts hilarious out-of-context quotes from the sermon on our member’s page. I need someone like that to listen to every Dividing Line and come up with a brief, yet usable, title, because with programs like today, I just have no idea. We covered the Washington State law that would allow the state to

Secularism’s Insanity, then Credo’s Promotion of Scholasticism

James White, April 13, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church History, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Tale of two programs today as for the first half hour we considered the daily onslaught of secularism’s acidic destruction of Western society and life itself, and then switched gears to consider the newest edition of Credo Magazine and its full-throated promotion of, and defense of, “Reformed Scholasticism.”

Mega-Size DL Response to Mike Riccardi and Derrick Brite

James White, April 11, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

We went for two hours today as I interacted with portions of the first thirty minutes of Dr. Mike Riccardi’s presentation at the Shepherd’s Conference on the Trinity. Many had concluded that I was the target of much of the opening comments in that presentation, so I felt it proper to interact with it and raise the key issues that

Snowed in Road Trip DL!

James White, April 4, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

I am still stuck in Salt Lake by this wicked winter storm that has buried me in snow and ice. I will have to be digging out in the morning as I need to get going, but it will be tricky! Anyway, talked a bit about some of the great men I’ve gotten to know in ministry as I got

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

Lots of Topics on the DL Today

James White, March 23, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Debate, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Had a lot of mini issues to discuss at the top, then looked at an example of horrible racism, then discussed Derek Webb’s comments on a video posted by Leighton Flowers, then looked at the language used by Credo Magazine in self-defining “orthodoxy.” ADDENDUM: I forgot to add the information for ordering that wonderful tomb-scene wooden artwork I showed on

A Multi-Faceted Dividing Line

James White, March 16, 2023, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Covered a wide variety of things yet again on the program today, so a little something for everyone. Started off with the new Roman Catholic apologetics book against Scripture titled, “The Obscurity of Scripture,” and talked a bit about the obscurity not of Scripture, but of Rome itself. We also spent some time reading through Schaff’s discussion of Pope Honorius.
