James White, July 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If the last DL caused you to lose sleep because of the creepy stuff we played from the global elites, today’s clips from our governmental overlords will probably produce more insomnia. Sorry, but while there is still some daylight left, expose the unfruitful works of darkness. After a half hour of that (including reading Amy Grant’s comments about welcoming the

An Interaction with Dr. Robert Gagnon on Perseverance and John 6:39

James White, July 15, 2021, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Reformed Apologetics

A few thoughts on Robert Gagnon’s assertions regarding the loss of salvation. Over the past week or so Dr. Robert Gagnon has posted a series of articles targeting, as he himself has put it, the idea of antinomianism. To quote him directly: If you believe that the new covenant makes it possible (albeit not preferable) to live a sin-controlled life

A Multi-Faceted Program

James White, July 13, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Offense, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Resources, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer’s claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they were creepy). Talked about Leighton Flowers a bit, and Rich tells

Is John 6 Only About the Apostles?

James White, July 12, 2021, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today we examined this article by Eric Kemp (following the claims of someone named Drew McLeod) that tries to argue that John 6 is only about the Apostles, and is not relevant to anyone alive today. We have examined many dozens of attempts to get around the teachings of John 6 over the years, and this one ranks right down

Mobile DL: Big Brother Keeps at It, Lessons from Litton, More on the Divine Truth About the Trinity

James White, June 30, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did another program from up here in Prescott Valley, Arizona, looking at some amazing actions of Big Brother as he seeks to establish his totalitarian regime. Then we looked at the amazing documentation coming out about the blatant plagiarization of sermon material by Ed Litton, the new President of the SBC, and finished up at the end with more exciting

First DL from Mobile Command Center, Then Dale Tuggy Punches Low

James White, June 24, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did our very first live DL from our new mobile command center, aka, our 5th wheel unit that will be my living quarters as I travel around the US in the future (starting at the end of next month with a nearly 4000 mile loop around the western US, followed by my journey to Atlanta for the G3 Conference

Dividing Line/Sheologians Mash Up

James White, June 15, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I did the program from Summer’s home today (they are installing the 5th wheel hitch in the truck today) so we talked about all sorts of stuff, including the SBC, how much the world has changed since Sheologians began, etc. Summer has come a long ways from her guest appearance on the show 25 years ago when we had her

Travel, Worldview, Flowers and Open Theism

James White, June 1, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m not overly good at titling these things, am I? Started off telling everyone about our new travel initiative and the coming “A&O Travel Rig,” which will involve a 5th wheel RV and the truck to pull it. We will start talking to churches real soon so as to get as much ministry benefit from traveling as possible. So, I

Vanishing Freedoms and More Interaction with Trent Horn on Church History

James White, May 4, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First half an hour or so we talked about Covid and passports and freedoms and the like, then we moved into looking at Trent Horn’s response to a small portion of our discussion of his 2019 Catholic Answers talk on Protestant “distortions” of church history, focusing upon the idea of “the argument from silence.” Almost an hour and 45 minutes

Insights from Startling Phrases in the Bible, then More Wokeplosions

James White, April 1, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Discussed the promise of Scripture, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet,” and considered how we have to think past surface level conclusions so we can truly understand the point. Then we started looking at various “wokeplosions” (and there are many), finishing up with Jemar Tisby’s joining Ibram Kendi at the Anti-Racism Center, and what this

Pope Francis and Mary as Co-Redemptrix, Kyle James Howard Woke-Breaks Marriage, Jesus Wasn’t a Puppet

James White, March 30, 2021, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I started to get into Pope Francis’ comments on Mary as co-redemptrix with Christ when I discovered that the Keynote presentation I had cued up included a picture of me and Gerry Matatics in the studio at WEZE in Boston from (someone hand me the Geritol) 1993, so I took the time to give all the background to the story.

Dr. Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute on Christianity in Canada and Two Kingdom Theology

James White, March 25, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Just one topic today as we had one guest, Dr. Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute up in Canada, pastor of the Westminster Chapel, and author of The Mission of God. Important topics of discussion for ninety minutes!

Ibram Kendi Sits in Front of the Refutation of His Own Teachings

James White, March 23, 2021, Christian Worldview, Open Theism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Went over a number of smaller items, Tweets and the like, at the start of the program, but eventually focused in on Ibram Kendi’s presentation at a church recently wherein he described the difference between Liberation Theology and what he called Savior Theology, and how to be an “antiracist” is to reject Savior Theology. He made these comments while seated

Radio Free Geneva: Atheists, William Lane Craig, Warren McGrew

James White, March 17, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics

We did our first Radio Free Geneva in the AOMax studio today, looking first at a debate with an atheist who was pushing his narrative of unbelief against a Christian. We then transitioned into William Lane Craig’s comments on Romans 9, and finished up, almost two hours in, with the assertion made by Warren McGrew that 2 Timothy 1:9 is

Various Woke Explosions, Tim Keller, then Trent Horn

James White, March 16, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Managed to keep things relatively short today after yesterday’s two and a half hour marathon, going only an hour and twenty minutes today. Looked at various “woke explosions,” including the published commentary from Dr. Willie James Jennings of Yale on the book of Acts. Then we got back into Trent Horn’s presentation on church fathers from 2019, going into some

All is Not Quiet on the Western Front!

James White, March 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Resources, Theology Matters

It is good for us to remember that we are not alone in our service to Christ and in the reign of His Kingdom in these dark and difficult days. I have had the great pleasure of ministering in Germany over the years, and in fact 2020 was the first year I had not been able to visit my brethren

A Review and Refutation of Provisionist Confusion

James White, March 3, 2021, Pauline Studies, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I did a quick teaching DL from home today to respond to the following meme (and briefly to one other that I don’t want to display). I tried to use a little screen annotation app I grabbed to do a little “Flip Board without the Flip Board” exegesis in Ephesians 1 to once again expose the man-centeredness of Provisionism’s vain

Grogu Watches the Dividing Line

James White, January 5, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Got your attention, didn’t it? Well, I did start off introducing Grogu, one of my Christmas presents, but that’s just my way of saying we covered so many topics today I could not come up with a title that would do them justice. So we did a lot of Christian worldview analysis (am I using that phrase correctly?) today looking

Biblical Inerrancy

James White, October 20, 2020, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues

(The following is “The Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy” taken from Inerrancy edited by Norman Geisler, Academie Books, 1980, pages 493-497.) Article I We affirm that the Holy Scriptures are to be received as the authoritative Word of God. We deny that the Scriptures receive their authority from the Church, tradition, or any other human source. Article II We affirm

Responding to Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live on Sola Scriptura

James White, October 20, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If you are active in reaching out to our Roman Catholic friends and family members, this is an important program for you. We spent most of our time going deeply into a clip from CA Live on “tradition” in the Bible. Then we played a brief clip from the British Parliament on critical race theory that was real encouraging, and

The Grinch Comes to California, Open Phones

James White, October 19, 2020, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off commenting on the MANDATORY guidelines for “private gatherings” in the Soviet Socialist State of Kalifornia (i.e., Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings), and noting that this will become a permanent aspect of our lives if we fall into the abyss of socialism on November 3rd. Then we took calls on a wide variety of topics, but a major portion of

Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden? The Real Issue with TR Onlyism

James White, October 5, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Two topics on today’s 70 minute program: first, we look at the statement from a group called Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden, and demonstrate that the influence of neo-Marxism upon the Woke Church is truly profound. Then I did a lengthy review of the debate we did this weekend with Dr. Jeffrey Riddle on the Critical Text vs. TR Only positions

Open Phones on the Dividing Line

James White, September 29, 2020, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

For some reason I kept giving really long, in-depth answers to all our callers today, but the questions were worthy of the answers. We looked at the canon of Scripture, the Synoptic gospels and how to deal with conflicts, the consistency of the Old Testament Scriptures, Jesus’ role as Intercessor, and Kevin Thompson and the elect. At the very end

Tons of Important Material Today!

James White, September 10, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Covered a ton of important stuff today, including the work of the Ministry of Truth in editing and changing history, the jihad of the homosexuals in Cornwall, and a judge saying Grace Community, which has been meeting for weeks in worship, can’t. Then we moved to Jerry Walls’ “best argument against Catholicism,” and then finished up with a lengthy introductory

Sweater Vest Dialogues

Chris Whisonant, September 10, 2020, Christian Worldview, Federal Vision, General Apologetics, Misc, Reformed Apologetics, Resources

In December of 2019, James White and Douglas Wilson began a series of dialogues and discussions that they have called The Sweater Vest Dialogues. Links to all of the episodes are below. Hopefully these are edifying for you! Episode I: The Federal Vision, December, 2019. Episode II: The Trinity and Patriarchy, January, 2020. Episode III: Catholicism and Salvation, March, 2020.

We Should Have Just Made This a Radio Free Geneva

James White, August 27, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Spent some time at the start on the rise of woke religion, Pastor Warnock from Atlanta supporting the evil of abortion, etc., but the majority of the program was focused on key texts relating to election, atonement, and salvation, working through issues raised by a discussion I’ve been having with Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee. We worked

Radio Free Geneva: WLC on Romans 9

James White, August 18, 2020, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Had to record due to web issues yet again. We went all the way through William Lane Craig’s video about Romans 9, then went through Leighton Flowers’ video on predestination, and finished up with J.D. Greear’s article on “fundamentalism” (which is just plain confusing).

The Corona Mask, Transgenderism, Molinistic Soteriology

James White, August 11, 2020, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played a fun little ditty called “The Corona Mask” (sung to “The Monster Mash”) and then talked a bit about the global panic we are experiencing. Then transitioned into a discussion of transgenderism based upon a brief conversation between Summer Jaeger of Sheologians and a transgender advocate. Then we played a KJVO numerology video with good ol’ Brother Sluder, and

James Cone’s Children, Then In-Depth on the Immaculate Conception

James White, July 31, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent just a few minutes at the start on the video of a black Baptist pastor applying the words of Isaiah 53 to John Lewis, explaining how this is perfectly consistent with Black Liberation Theology as developed by James Cone. Then got into a lengthy church history segment focusing upon the historical development of the Immaculate Conception and why any

Without Excuse Indeed!

James White, July 24, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters

Back when Fesko’s book came out a few years ago I read the early statement out of Westminster (which Van Til contributed to heavily) on the issue of general revelation, natural theology, etc. 15 years ago when I was teaching apologetics at Golden Gate I had my students read the Sproul/Gerstner/Lindsley work on classical apologetics. I used it to point

The Calvinist Club, Sola Scriptura, Purgatory

James White, July 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Went almost two hours today but it’s an important program. Started off responding to William Samuel Bruce’s comments about me being a part of the “New Calvinism.” Then we moved into a response to James Fox Higgins on the subject of sola scriptura, its definition and defense (really important). Then following that theme we want back to this video featuring
