Yet Another Twitter Mob Refuted, Romans 5:1: Indicative or Subjunctive?

James White, April 28, 2020, CBGM, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Two major parts to the program today. First about 45 minutes I dealt with the explosion of another Twitter Mob today, stoked by people like Lex_Luther and Paul Flynn, who misrepresented an exchange I had about the role of politics and the reality of mortality in the panic surrounding Covid-19. They were (and are) calling for my burning, or at

James White, April 24, 2020, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Technology, The Dividing Line

Our good friend and brother Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute joined us for the first hour to talk all things science and the faith, and in the last half hour we talked mainly about Pope Francis’ comments about the earth being upset with us. Also a small amount of discussion regarding Qumran right at the end.

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

Four Phone Calls, Rod Dreher, Leighton MSNBCs

James White, April 15, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Another Mega edition of the DL today (what are we going to do IF we ever get let out of jail?) marking five and a half hours worth so far this week alone! We are single-handedly attempting to get the economy going on our own! Started off with four great phone calls on a bunch of good topics, then briefly

Arresting Pastors, NT Wright Badly Wrong, Ken Wilson Interview Started

James White, March 31, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Tomb Issues

Discussed a little about the arrest of Rodney Howard Browne, looked at NT Wright’s sad article in Time.com, and then dove into the important historical issues related to the claims of Ken Wilson from his 2018 interview with Leighton Flowers. Will be back tomorrow again!

Michael Brown Twitter Contest, More Church History Background

James White, March 30, 2020, Church History, Exegesis, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I was on The Line of Fire with Michael Brown an hour before we aired this episode, so Michael joined me to discuss the apologetics contest on Twitter, but then more important things as well after that. Jeff Durbin called in and tried to argue that I, as Master Miyagi, should want him, as Danielsan, to win the contest, should

Psalm 90, and Then a Few Comments on the SBC

James White, March 26, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent most of the program on the 90th Psalm, looking at it from the aspects of both the Hebrew and the Greek Septuagint, and its important message for us today. Then a few comments in response to Ken Wilson, and then a few comments on the cancellation of the SBC summer meeting, and hence the extension of the current president,

Open Phones for Almost 90 Minutes

James White, March 25, 2020, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Calls on all sorts of topics from folks hiding in their bunkers, including a call on the Trinity and how to encourage a church to take it more seriously, witnessing to a Mormon missionary who is headed home, Hebrews 7:25, and covenant theology. There was more, but Rich and I are too old to remember to jot down the topics!

Presuppositionalism Discussed, Hebrews 10:25, and the Trail of Blood

James White, March 18, 2020, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Over 90 minutes today starting off with a question from a friend in email about presuppositionalism that ended up going 48 minutes in length (thanks Matt!). Then I looked at two Twitter questions, one on Hebrews 10:25 and the current crisis around the world, and one about “The Trail of Blood.” We will be back tomorrow, keeping you company as

Mortality, Books to Read, and a Quick Response on Romans 8

James White, March 17, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first half of the show talking about mortality and the societal choices we have made regarding danger and death. Then we talked about books to read during this time where there are no sports, no movies, etc., and then we looked (quickly) at what Leighton Flowers said about the issue of faith in Romans 8. Somewhere in there

Seven Topics on Today’s 1:45 Long Dividing Line

James White, February 25, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

No, I wasn’t going for the perfect number, it just turned out that way. But we looked at a video of a BYU professor talking about the removal of homosexuality from the honor code, and how this is related to one’s “testimony of the Brethren.” Fascinating days in Utah! Then we talked about Doug Wilson’s comments on the Christianity Today

A Jumbo-Mega Edition of the Dividing Line (Two Hours 45 Minutes)

James White, February 18, 2020, CBGM, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Started off with the D. Wade debacle and the influence of the world’s insanity on “transgenderism.” Then we started a movement to have Francis renamed “Francis the Marxist” (it has a ring do it, I think). Mentioned the ecumenical “Mass” being held in St. Pierre, Calvin’s old haunts, and then got to the real topic of the day. We played

I Expected This Much Earlier

James White, February 14, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism

So, you are inferior to the homosexual profaners of marriage!

Is the Trinity Essential? And Much More

James White, February 11, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a new Reasonable Faith video featuring William Lane Craig and the question “Is the Trinity Essential?” Half an hour on that one. Then we looked at Bart Ehrman’s claims about Jesus, heaven and hell, another half hour. Then we picked up a few topics, including Pete Buttigieg, a guy named Dave Barnhart, rapper Flame’s conversion to Lutheranism,

There Are No Husbands in This Picture

James White, February 8, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism

No, I did not expect it in my lifetime, at least, not until the last few years anyway, when the accelerator was slammed into the floorboard of the immoral revolution, and the truly rotted-out nature of the moral fabric of our culture became very, very clear. There was a day when the nation as a whole would have drawn back

All the Dishes in the Kitchen Sink

James White, February 6, 2020, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The title for today’s program came from Rich. Blame him. Started off talking about the quotation I had posted on Facebook and all the guesses—none of which were right. The quotation was from Dr. Yasir Qadhi, so I fleshed that out as far as worldviews, evangelism, apologetics, etc. Then we discussed the wishful effort to “orthodoxicize” Martin Luther King’s views

Theonomy

James White, January 31, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

I do not fully understand the inner workings of Facebook. When folks tag me on my timeline I get these posts I have to either publish or hide. And when I do so, I end up with a page of stuff going back years. I keep hitting “hide” and then it happens the next time, with more stuff, even older.

Cruise Details, Joe Biden, Tim Keller

James White, January 28, 2020, Christian Worldview, Federal Vision, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Mike O’Fallon joined us to talk about the Rome/Greece/Israel cruise and the fact that our low group rates will end in just a few days (2/1). Then we looked at Joe Biden’s amazing assertion that transgender rights are “basic human rights,” and the worldview that now pervades the leftist movement in the West. Then we took at look at Tim

Commentary on Apologetics from a Review of Portions of the Dillahunty/Scrivener Dialogue

James White, January 14, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Used the comments made by Matt Dillahunty and Glen Scrivener on the Unbelievable program as a platform for a discussion of apologetic methodology and application today on the program, going just under 90 minutes. This included definitions of presuppositionalism as well as a short discussion of slavery in the Bible as well. Last program till next week due to the

KJB Fundy Numerology, Flowers’ Unwanted Child, RNS Opinion Piece on Cone

James White, January 13, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to get the silly stuff out of the way first, so we looked at Andrew Sluder’s “KJB Numerology” where he uses verse numbers and their position in the Bible to prove its inspiration. Then we got serious and read through a Soteriology 101 article and dealt with its man-centeredness. Finished off with an RNS opinion piece that alleged that

James 3, China, the UK, and the Pope!

James White, December 27, 2019, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off the program with a look at James 3 in light of the arrival of 2020 and the challenges we will be facing therein. Moved on to discuss the totalitarian Left and its attack upon everything that is godly and true. We connected this to the recent “trans-gender” decision in the UK. Then we discussed Pope Francis’ comments about

Bethel Church and Miracles, Rosaria Butterfield, Gender Pronouns, and the Post-Obergefell World

James White, December 20, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Took the first half of the program to consider miracles, the Christian, resurrection, and the current events at Bethel Church in California. Then we looked at the issue of pronoun usage in the post-Obergefell world with some insights from Rosaria Butterfield who has changed her view on the topic in light of Obergefell.

Alexanders and the Church

James White, December 17, 2019, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

When Paul wrote his last epistle to Timothy he knew his time was short. I have often commented that what you include in your last communication with a dear friend will reflect what weighs the most heavily upon your heart as you stand on the brink of eternity. So it is important to see that though he did not wax

Richard Dawkins and Diane Gaskins: A Study in Seeking Consistency and Fairness

James White, December 10, 2019, Atheism, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at the comments of Richard Dawkins from his relatively new book, Outgrowing God, wherein he demonstrates a fundamental unwillingness to accurately represent the object of his disdain, that being Christianity. Then we began looking at Diane Gaskins’ article attacking Rosaria Butterfield. We will continue that analysis on the next program.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving, a Bit More Cone, Matt Hall and CRT

James White, November 26, 2019, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Well Thanksgiving is coming up so we spent some time talking about thanks, contentment, etc., from a biblical perspective. Then we moved back to reading a bit from James Cone, made application to Talbert Swan, and then moved from there to an article recently posted from Dr. Matt Hall at SBTS regarding “racial reconciliation.” We asked some honest questions of

Bishop Swan’s Racism, Pronouns Matter, Jeffrey Riddle’s Abuse of P46

James White, November 21, 2019, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Started off with the outrageous, racist rants of “His Grace, the Right Reverend Bishop Talbert Wesley Swan II” (straight from his wikipedia page) and his swinging the club of “white supremacy” at anyone or anything, logic, rationality and truth notwithstanding. Then we considered the advice of the left edge of evangelicalism’s fall into the morass of cultural confusion, this time

Two Refutations: Eric Mason (First Hour), Jeffrey Riddle (Last Half Hour)

James White, November 7, 2019, CBGM, Hebrew Israelism, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

As was needed I responded to the slanderous misuse of a video clip by Eric Mason, author of Woke Church, for the first hour or so today, including the playing of the entire context from the July 26, 2016 Dividing Line from which he took his clip. A wide ranging discussion about the woke church, critical theory, identity politics, and

Gene Kim, Steven Anderson, TRTrads—and a Word to My Fellow Reformed Believers on the Supernatural

James White, November 5, 2019, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Had some fun with a new video from Gene Kim, played a new RFG intro, looked a little at Steven Anderson and the TRTrads, delving into issues of textual criticism, the transmission of the text, etc. Then for the last 20 minutes or so transitioned into an important discussion about the supernatural and the life of the Bible-believing, sola scriptura

Go Home, Trans-Madness, Australia Report

James White, October 22, 2019, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Decided to do a program about 15 hours after getting home from Australia, so I hope I made some sense! Seemed OK to me anyway! Talked about the explosion of egalitarianism in light of the “go home” controversy first, then moved on to developments in the transgender movement’s attempts to destroy any meaningful understanding of sexuality and gender. Eventually got

Rhys McKinnon and the War on Words

James White, October 22, 2019, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Uncategorized

Take a look at this article. Let’s start out with some truth: American Dawn Orwick is the proper, logical, truthful 35-39 year old sprint champion. Rhys McKinnon, a biological male, is a radical (and very aggressive) advocate for the destruction of logic and science in sports who has taken advantage of the current cultural madness to collect for himself a
