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

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

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.

Jeff Durbin’s Pink Tie, Trent Horn and the Word of God

James White, March 14, 2023, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Had some enjoyable banter in response to Jeff Durbin’s live Facebook video from yesterday, and then we moved into considering some of the comments made by Trent Horn after his debate with Gavin Ortlund on sola scriptura. Some very interesting and important directions are being mapped out that are relevant for everyone interested not only in Roman Catholic apologetics, but

First Road Trip DL in NEW Mobile Command Unit!

James White, March 9, 2023, Christian Worldview, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I am on the road, only about ninety minutes from home, doing a quick, brief shake-down run with the new fifth wheel. Have to test all the systems out to make sure we are ready to head to Utah in a few weeks for the debate at the University of Utah! We started out reviewing some of the key issues

James White, March 6, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent the first portion of the program discussing what the “drag queen” phenomenon tells us about our culture today before shifting to a completely different topic based upon the debate on sola scriptura between Gavin Ortlund and Trent Horn.

A Twitter Based Dividing Line

James White, March 2, 2023, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered the waterfront today, so to speak, applying Christian worldview principles to a bunch of stuff that came up on my social media feed, including designer babies, gay mirage, and a bunch of broke wokeness. Started preaching a few times, I’ll admit, and Squirrel did his best to distract me, too, that mischievous little rodent!

Apologizing for the Bible, Textual Critical Issues and the TR

James White, February 28, 2023, CBGM, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Back in the regular studio today. Started off with a personal response to Andy Stanley on his apologizing for Christians seeking to apply “Christian rules” to non-Christians, and then looked a bit at Reuben Swanson’s books on the text of the NT (in reference to Thomas Ross’ use thereof), finishing with a read-through of Brett Mahlen’s chapter on why he

We had a technical problem at the start but managed to get in a full hour on the road once again, this time from West Texas. Addressed the Master’s Seminary issue relating to their filing a DMCA against the man who did the work to demonstrate the problems with Peter Sammons’ use of sources in an online class. This is

Road Trip Dividing Line from Texas: Special Revelation, Natural Revelation, and Some Inseparable Operations

James White, February 23, 2023, Oneness Pentecostalism, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Covered a bunch of topics suggested by social media interactions, including a discussion of special and general revelation, natural theology, and all that area of discussion, and then a brief look at Thomistic “inseparable operations” and its (unnecessary) complication of the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. Will plan to continue that topic tomorrow, Lord willing.

Road Trip Dividing Line: Gay Mirage, Mass, Biblicism

James White, February 20, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Long day on the road today but I really wanted to get a program in as I may be speaking the next two nights (my trip plans have been changed due to weather). In any case, looked at bit at the two homosexuals and their designer baby story, took the time to clarify some false claims floating around regarding Thomas

James White, February 15, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Racialism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

I am in the wilds of eastern Mississippi but we got a program in anyway! Super encouraging stuff from the trip so far, including last night’s presentation on the Trinity and Oneness theology. I also discussed Dr. Kevin Young’s amazing assertion that I declined the debate challenge I offered to him, which I clearly did not. Then we looked at

Road Trip Dividing Line

James White, February 13, 2023, Church Fathers, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Got started a little late so we didn’t go a full hour but covered some “Tweet theology,” including responding to Leighton Flowers and looking at some Thomas stuff. Also reported on the last few nights in Opelousas (which I mispronounced at the start!), what’s coming up the rest of the week, and provided a tribute to Jeremy Hasty, a dear

James White, February 9, 2023, Christian Worldview, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

We did another Road Trip DL today from Lafayette, Louisiana where I will be speaking for the weekend. Started off with a run down on a major project we are undertaking during this, our 40th Anniversary year. We are hoping to trade in our current fifth wheel unit for one that will allow us to trade some of my sleeping

We are back on the road! Came to you live from somewhere in the wilds of Texas today, will be in Houston tomorrow with the “What is Marriage?” debate on Wednesday.

Open Zoom Calls on the Dividing Line

James White, February 2, 2023, Debate, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Took some great Zoom calls today discussing the vine and the branches in John 15, MBTS, the Great Tradition, and Thomas (took a long time on this one), and then the Trinity, the Cross, “inseparable operations,” etc. Let’s just say certain quarters will be talking after this program! Last show in studio for a while: starting next week a mixture

James White, January 18, 2023, Exegesis, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off listening to a clip from Dr. Frank Turek with Leighton Flowers wherein Turek opines that many Reformed folks just have not thought through the ramifications of their position. He also held up Chosen But Free by Norman Geisler, so we discussed that as well. Then we moved over to comments made by Dr. David Allen in the fairly

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

Final Dividing Line of 2022. Asked for prayer for Dennis Pillay and his wife in South Africa as end-of-life issues confront them, that God would give comfort and strength. Spoke a bit about the self-made, completely designed and intentional “energy crisis” around the world, and finished up responding to Derrick Brite on the role of Thomas in defining Christian orthodoxy.

Spent time at the start talking about Jerald and Sandra Tanner and the Utah Lighthouse Ministry’s years of faithfulness in light of Sandra’s retirement. Then we looked at Biden’s absurd rhetoric on the profaning of marriage, looked at Phil Vischer’s joining in that same absurdity, and then we talked about the German study documenting the direct correlation of mRNA vaccines

Managed to get in a quick program this evening from St. Charles, Missouri.

Responded to a brief clip of Dr. Frank Turek talking with Leighton Flowers about Calvinists and evangelism, and then read an article on Pope Francis telling everyone to “go to Thomas.” This led to a lengthy discussion of further developments in the Thomistic Downgrade amongst the Reformed. An hour and 15 minutes.
