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

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

A Remote Dividing Line that Did Not Look Remote

James White, July 16, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Felt it would be wise to test our new technology before I do the Apologetics Roundtable tomorrow evening, so we did the program that way and I must say, it turned out well! A little warm (I am set up in the warmest room in my house, well, at least during the summer—surely the coolest for the few weeks of

Open Phones Dividing Line Friday

James White, July 10, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Let’s see what some of the topics were: Sam Gipp and “Antioch manuscripts,” the Church & Culture, Debating the Papacy, Justification and Roman Catholic apologists, how to talk to Christians who have bought into social justice theories, and more!

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.

Radio Free Geneva: The Choice Meats Analygesis of Leighton Flowers in John 10

James White, July 6, 2020, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Primarily focused upon comments made by Leighton Flowers on the 180 Cast with Georgi Boorman regarding John 10 and the “sheep” that are referenced therein. We did touch briefly upon Ephesians 1 as well, but the bulk of the time was spent on John 10. Enjoy!

Answering Questions from Friends

James White, July 2, 2020, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did an hour and forty minutes today answering questions from two friends of mine—but you will find them to be useful questions! A great deal on the topics of how Christians are to respond to changing cultural situations and challenges, and then a solid hour or so on theodicy, God and the existence of evil. I did start off with

Supreme Court, BLM, Thabiti, 2 Cor. 4:4

James White, June 16, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Started out with a discussion of the Supreme Court’s redefinition of “sex” from 1964 and the resultant degradation of morality and law in the United States. Then looked at the totalitarian movement of Black Lives Matter, and their promotion of transgenderism. Then we simply had to read through the thread of tweets posted by Thabiti Anyabwile wherein he states “Until

Critical Theory Issues in Recent Events, Memes and Screen Shots, Leighton Flowers and Apologetics

James White, June 4, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

A mega edition of the DL today, two full hours, covering tons of current events with the social justice revolutionaries both outside and inside the church for the first 1:10. Last 50 minutes focused on a tweet from Leighton Flowers saying Calvinism and Apologetics do not mix. We listened to and critiqued an on-line exchange on the topic of God’s

Four Open Phone Calls, A Bit on Thinking Clearly About Numbers, Digging into More from Wilson’s Dissertation

James White, May 28, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

We opened the phone and took some calls, such as on the canon of the Greek Septuagint, and whether we are in constant sin because we do not love God perfectly. Then we looked at some numbers relating to the current panic relating to the pandemic, and then moved back into the in-depth analysis and refutation of Ken Wilson’s Oxford

Pope Francis, Dan Barker, Bad Bad Twitter Man, Wilson vs. “Augustine Actual”

James White, May 12, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

This will be my only program this week—don’t worry, we have a special guest filling in on Thursday (I have to head out of town quickly). So we went long, a full two hours. Covered a ton of topics from Pope Francis’ call for “believers of all religions” to join in asking God to “help us” with coronavirus, Dan Barker’s

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

The Twitter Mob Doubles Down on Dishonesty, Genesis 50 and Compatibilism

James White, April 30, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Persecution, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The Twitter mob (made up of a diverse group of folks to be sure!) is busy making up new accusations, editing screenshots, and in general doing their best to twist, distort, and downright lie through their keyboards, but the truth is too clear. So after once again demonstrating their lies, we got into more edifying topics such as Genesis 50
