James White, April 17, 2018, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had to take the entire program today to cover developments since the MLK50 Conference and last weekend’s T4G Conference. Nearly two hours on the entire Critical Race Theory/White Privilege/”Woke” Church movement. Hope to take calls and get back to Ehrman, etc., on Thursday. Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line is on YouTube video. Our YouTube

Pelagians on Twitter, Man-Centered God at Bethel, Presuppositions in Ehrman, Open Phones

James White, March 22, 2018, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off looking at a Pelagian on Twitter by the name of “C G.” Then played an entire ten minute long clip from a guy on the “Dead Raising Team” from Bethel Church in Redding about how we should believe in the goodness of people (please read Romans 3:10-18 over three times while pondering that concept). Before going to the

Series to Begin Next Week, the Ebionites, and Open Phones on a 95 Minute Dividing Line

James White, March 1, 2018, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Islam, King James Onlyism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Persecution, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Covered about half an hour of “topics” from the Ebionites to current discussions of “insanity,” and then we went to open phones with lots of questions on a wide variety of topics including the Trinity, Oneness, and two calls on textual variants (Romans 5:1, John 10:29).

Open Phones on the Dividing Line!

James White, February 22, 2018, Church History, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a little church history (the Renaissance) and then went to the phones, taking calls on Lutheran baptismal regeneration, Jesus’ words about the day of judgment, grieving and evangelism, hyperdispensationalism, Titus 1:6, the longer ending of Mark, regeneration in the OT, Isaiah’s judgment oracle, and early christian writers. Whew! 1:45 makes it an almost mega jumbo edition, I guess! Here

Modalism Destroys the Gospel, Church History Continued, Response to Jordan Hall’s Unhinged Diatribe

James White, February 20, 2018, Church History, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I drove back from Las Vegas this morning and rushed into the office to do a DL. Started with a topic relevant to Shawn McCraney’s comments on modalism last week as this impacts the gospel. Looked at Hebrews 9 as an illustration. Then went back to Reformation Church history, looking at the Avignon Papacy and then the invention of printing

What Justin Martyr Actually Said, Transmission of the Text, Open Phones

James White, February 8, 2018, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Misc, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Discussed Justin Martyr’s words in reference to Malachi 1:11 as found in his Dialogue with Trypho (in reference to a call from Tuesday), and then went over a textual critical issue relating to partial manuscripts. Then we opened the phones and, as normal, covered a ton of topics, with a lot on the Trinity and the relationship of Father, Son

Open Lines on the Dividing Line

James White, February 6, 2018, Church History, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Iglesia Ni Christo, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did about twenty minutes on Jan Hus and the background of the Reformation, and then went to the phones for the first time in a long time. A ton of questions on a wide, wide range of topics, such as the INC, Roman Catholicism, textual criticism, etc., finishing with a nearly 25 minute conversation with “Joe” who is flirting with

Ijaz Ahmad and Corruption of Scripture, A False Dilemma for Christians, Thoughts on the Condemnation of Michael Brown

James White, January 9, 2018, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent a good deal of time playing the final portions of Ijaz Ahmad’s video on “the corruption of Scripture,” working through a lot of pretty in-dept stuff regarding the Greek Septuagint, etc. Then spent a bit of time looking at a supposed dilemma for Christians from Paul Williams, and finished off with about 50 minutes of thoughts on the brouhaha

2 John 11 Abused by Imbalanced Calvinists, the Death of LDS President Monson, Further Response to Ijaz Ahmad

James White, January 4, 2018, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Mormonism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off looking carefully at the text of 2 John 7-11 once again, this time as it has been abused by ostensibly Reformed folks. Then we looked at some of the shenanigans of the “only Calvinists are saved” brigade on line. Moved eventually to the death of LDS President Monson and the continued need to pray for God to pour

2017: The Year in Review (Update: Fritz Erbe Video Now Linked)

James White, December 29, 2017, General Apologetics, Musings, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Took the whole program to review 2017 and consider a little bit about trends and things to consider for the future. UPDATE: the kind brothers and sisters at Sovereign rushed to get the video I noted about Fritz Erbe posted. Here is the link. Please share it with others! Here is the YouTube link: Live Video Stream The Dividing Line

The Pope and the Lord’s Prayer, Slander & Keyboard, SJC, Zachariades & God’s Justice

James White, December 12, 2017, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off looking at Pope Francis and “lead us not into temptation.” Then had to look at Slander and Keyboard (the group formerly known as Pulpit & Pen, sort of like the artist formerly known as Prince…or Purple something, I could never figure that part out) as well as some wild eyed “bigotry in the name of Christianity is fine

Almost Mega Length DL with Five Major Topics

James White, December 5, 2017, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the MSM’s hyping of the First Apocalypse of James, a well known gnostic work from, at the earliest, the late second century, most probably the third. Had a “Story Time with Uncle Jimmy” where I read the entirety of the work so you can respond to co-workers or others who raise the topic. Then we discussed Bill

Beyond Mega Length Edition of the DL: Textual Critical Topics, Islamic Topics, Response to Theodore Zachariades

James White, November 28, 2017, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went two hours and eleven minutes today (sorry!), but had a lot to cover. Too many topics to list, but basically a lot on the new Tyndale House Greek New Testament, textual critical topics, Muslim apologetics issues, the Qur’an, and then responses to Dr. Theodore Zachariades on the topic of the decree of God and the will of man, i.e.,

Thanksgiving as a Christian Trait, Free Will, the Decree of God, and Theodore Zachariades

James White, November 21, 2017, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

As it is two days before Thanksgiving we started off with about 20 minutes of thought, based mainly on Ephesians 5, on that vital topic, and then moved on to a discussion of Chapter 9 of the London Baptist Confession of Faith, “On Free Will,” in light of the recent debate and an article from Dr. Zachariades. We hope everyone

Speaking the Truth in Love, Destroying Others, then Back to the Free Will Debate

James White, November 9, 2017, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with biblical discussions regarding how Christians are to interact with others, leading to some thoughts about those who wish to “destroy” others in the name of Christ. Then turned back to the Free Will debate that was the subject of the previous program, listening and responding along the way. 105 minutes today! More than a jumbo, less than

Two Hour Radio Free Geneva Interaction with the “Free Will Debate” from Houston

James White, November 7, 2017, Exegesis, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went mega-length today as we played portions from the debate just a few days ago in Houston featuring, on “team Calvin,” Dr. Sonny Hernandez and Dr. Theodore Zachariades, and on team, well, uh…Team Free Will, perhaps, anyway, Dr. Leighton Flowers and Dr. Johnathan Pritchett. Had only heard about it because Pulpit and Pen, in wildly rejoicing in the food fight

Radio Free Geneva! Robert Jeffress, Roman Catholicism, the Reformation, and then Kevin Thompson on John 6 (Mega Edition)

James White, October 23, 2017, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the First Baptist Dallas interview of Sean Hannity and discussed a lot about Roman Catholicism and how we should mourn over the fact that Rome’s gospel does not save. Then I very, very briefly discussed the John Piper thing on final justification. Then we moved to a video from Pastor Kevin Thompson on John 6:37, playing his

Yusuf Ismail and Deuteronomy, and Further Response to Abu Zakariya

James White, June 27, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off the program today with a little bit on the ongoing attacks upon A&O by the odd coalition of Christians and political types, and then reviewed some comments by Yusuf Ismail in a recent ABN debate with Usama Dakdok, specifically looking at portions of Deuteronomy—tough, difficult portions. No ducking, no saying “Oh, that’s the Old Testament, we don’t have

INC Debate Review, P&P Controversy

James White, April 25, 2017, Eastern Orthodoxy, Iglesia Ni Christo, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent an hour reviewing the debate with Joe Ventilacion of Iglesia Ni Christo, responding to various elements of the debate itself and looking at what has happened in the aftermath. Then for the last 40 minutes or so we covered the discussion taking place on line regarding Pulpit and Pen, etc., going back to last summer and the controversy that

A Mega Dividing Line on Lots of Topics!

James White, February 23, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had not planned on going nearly two hours but time goes by so fast! Started off reading from the Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin. Then we moved on to reading a portion from Brave New World. You’ll have to listen to hear why! Made some comments, and then shifted gears completely and played a video by Yahya Snow

Radio Free Geneva: A Nearly Three Hour Examination of “Traditional” Anthropology

James White, February 21, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Just avoided going for a full three hours, but we reviewed Dr. Leighton Flowers’ podcast from September 26, 2016, which was ostensibly about those who never hear, but was much more about how Calvinism is a bad theology. In any case, it gave us the foundation for looking very carefully at Flowers’ views, as they are being presented to a

The Rebellion of Transgenderism, then, A Challenge Fulfilled

James White, February 16, 2017, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

First half hour or so was on the ascension of transgenderism and the use of the sexual revolution by the left to attack religious freedom in the United States, illustrated in today’s court ruling against the florist in Washington state. Then we transitioned into a discussion of a challenge sent to me from Dr. Leighton Flowers regarding man’s inabilities due

Dogmatic Secularism Rises; the Politics of the Southern Baptist Convention

James White, December 5, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a discussion of the rise of secular totalitarianism and its inevitable failure, and then moved on to Dr. Paige Patterson’s comments in the SWBTS chapel from last week. Hopefully helpful for all! Here is the YouTube link:

Skype Show from Tucson: A Bit on Race, A Bit on Thanksgiving, Then A Lot on ETism

James White, November 17, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a live program from Tucson today via Skype, touching a bit on some of the reactions on the race issue from last time, discussing Thanksgiving a little, and then spending most of the time on a recent FB article promoting Ecclesiastical Textism and more reasons why I find this tradition so very dangerous to Christian apologetics. We plan on

What You NEED to Know about the Calvinism and Arminianism Debate

Dr. Alan Kurschner, September 19, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues

The Calvinism-Arminianism debate is substantially a debate between what is called “synergism” and “monergism.” For those who are new to this debate, the following is a primer on the two perennial branches of theological systems within Christianity. Or to put it another way, there are two very different ways for believers to understand their salvation. The first type is the

The March of the Totalitarians, BHI Craziness, Judging From Afar Rebuked

James White, July 4, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Quickly mentioned some of the evidence of the rise of totalitarianism in the United States, then made note of some of the wild videos showing a huge response to our addressing Hebrew Israelism, and finished up with a rather passionate response to JD Hall and Christian News and the attack upon Apologia Church. Here is the YouTube link:

William Lane Craig, the Lowered Bar, Molinism, and Erasmus

James White, June 7, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Examined the William Lane Craig clip that started circulating a few days ago about inerrancy and evangelism and apologetics, once again focusing upon the fundamental distinctions that arise when one is Reformed and when one is not in the area of apologetics. Then turned our attention to Erasmus and conjectural emendation, finishing up with a discussion of inerrancy and the

Various Articles and Open Phones

James White, April 28, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with various articles that I’ve collected, one by a Roman Catholic taking cheap shots at me, others on the continuing degradation of our society and the rise of totalitarianism. Then we opened up the phones and took calls on such subjects as the regulative principle of worship (actually got into the exclusive psalmody and instruments in worship debate

Roman Meme Theology, Data Mining the Bible and Qur’an, Wael Ibrahim, and a Live Viewing of Kent Hovind

James White, February 9, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Started off with a Meme Theology segment looking at a Roman Catholic meme discussing authority and history, then moved on to an article pretending to compare the Old and New Testaments with the Qur’an regarding violence, based upon textual “data mining,” and then returned to examining the Wael Ibrahim/Lincoln Loo debate. But then someone tweeted the newest Kent Hovind video

Hijacking the Scriptures Part II: The Romans 9 Debate – Rightly Dividing the Word?

Rich Pierce, January 19, 2016, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I continue with my review of James’ debate with Prof. Leighton Flowers on Romans 9. The new narrative gets fully formed today and we see further insight into how far the method will go to misrepresent core concepts of Calvinism let alone the mishandling of scripture that leads to it. Here is the YouTube link:

Cross Examination from the Codrington Debate/Phone Calls

James White, October 22, 2015, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a ten minute clip from the Johannesburg debate from almost two weeks ago, and then opened the phones, with calls on the priesthood in the early church, Leighton Flowers’ on the will of God, and other topics. Here is the YouTube link:
