Road Trip DL: Even-Ezers, Long-term Thinking, True Christian Examples of Heroism and Faith

James White, October 19, 2024, Christian Worldview, Misc, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First stop on my trip to Alabama. Covered how we need to think long-term to be faithful and thankful, and then talked about how Hebrews moves from deep theology to the practical application in the Christian life, and how the Heroes of Faith chapter (11) provides us with the kind of examples we should emulate today.

Rome’s Trajectory, Response to Division and Debate Amongst the “Reformed”

James White, October 8, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Misc, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a bit on the election, then tied this into the current developments in Rome with Francis making sure his legacy will continue to shift the direction of the Roman Church. Then addressed Joel Webbon’s recent webcast about the now infamous Holocaust meme, and related issues amongst the “Reformed” (that term is just about to collapse due to

A Few Comments on the Lawson Issue, Then More Than an Hour in Response to Sam Costner

James White, September 19, 2024, Church History, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Couldn’t avoid a few brief comments on the Steve Lawson issue that came to light today at the start of the program. Then I read through an eleven tweet thread written by Samuel Costner back on 8/31 regarding the Crusaders and my supposedly abandoning the younger generation by refusing to go along with the lionization of these Roman Catholic military

The Widening of God’s Mercy: New Pro-LGBTQ Book, and Comments by Pope Francis

James White, September 16, 2024, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

A new book has been released by the father/son team of Richard and Christopher Hays titled The Widening of God’s Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story. I hate to be the spoiler, but the thesis is, God changes His mind and His will, so it’s OK to ignore what the Bible used to say about same-sex relationships, God’s intention in

“Projection” in Argumentation, A Marian Spectacle, Connection to the Crusades

James White, September 12, 2024, Church History, General Apologetics, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent a little time at the start talking about the use of “projection” as an invalid means of argumentation, and then showed a video of a Marian procession from Spain and talked about the relevance to the gospel to such scenes. Then made connection to the recent Crusader controversy.

Jason Lisle for 45 Minutes, About All that Crusading Stuff

James White, August 29, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with our dear brother Jason Lisle discussing his new paper on cosmology and its very, very important implications (both Rich and I struggled to keep up, but, that’s just the nature of the information!). Here is the article at Jason’s website. Then I just calmly went back over the key issues that have arisen over the past week

Rome and Mary: the Sad Reality

James White, August 20, 2024, Abortion, Church Fathers, Church History, Misc, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After running our raffle and determining the winner of the wonderful Derek Melton blade, and after I spent some time talking about a neat and encouraging gift from a young man at Apologia, we turned to Roman Catholicism, Pope Francis, and the entire complex of Marian doctrines that are so utterly destructive to the gospel and to Christian experience. We

Another Road Trip DL from Colorado

James White, July 30, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Speaking Engagements, The Dividing Line

Started off with details about my upcoming debate with Tim Barber here in Colorado (Open Theism), the conference the next day, preaching on Sunday, and next week’s debate with Jared Longshore. Then had to discuss the degradation of the US’s political system, the obvious (and welcomed by the Marxists) foreign interference, etc. Also discussed a priest’s comments on mortal sin,

Road Trip DL from Santa Fe

James White, July 23, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Started off with all the amazing developments since just last week in Western culture and in the US elections. Addressed the theory that the entire NT was originally written in Hebrew. Then started taking some great Twitter questions once again on a variety of topics. Headed to Colorado Springs tomorrow, should be doing another program on Thursday.

Twitter-Driven DL from Dolores, Colorado

James White, July 19, 2024, Ken Wilson, Misc, Mormonism, Open Phones, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Uncategorized

I am thankful that Twitter was not taken down by today’s huge IT crash/failure, since we took our questions from our audience, and they were great questions! We will definitely have to do it this way in the future when I am traveling (much less technically challenging than trying to take calls when I am remote). Covered a wide variety

The Changing World of Mormonism…and the Vatican

James White, July 11, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Misc, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After playing Joe Biden calling the president of Ukraine “President Putin,” we looked at how the passing of time has brought changes to Mormonism, and then looked at how such development takes place within Roman Catholicism as well.

Raffle Winners, the Suicide of the West, God’s Law, the New Hays book, Francis Does It Again

James White, July 9, 2024, Debate, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Had our raffle for the Jeffery Rice rebind and the layered cross Rich made right at the start of the program. Then we talked a bit about Jake Brancatella and a situation in his life, and then dove into the many examples of the suicide of the West that came out over the weekend. We moved to Jonathan Merritt’s article

Eucharistic Miracles and the Modern Roman Catholic Situation

James White, July 5, 2024, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Jumped off from a few Twitter conversations to discuss “eucharistic miracles” and related topics, all pretty much on Roman Catholicism. I did start of the show with Biden’s “I am not going to drop out, and we will beat Donald Trump in 2020!” statement from earlier today.

Presidential Debate, Latin Mass, the God of Purpose and Glory

James White, June 26, 2024, Debate, Misc, Open Theism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off today with a few interesting and funny tweets, wished Tom Buck a happy birthday, lamented tomorrow evenings Presidential “debate,” discussed Francis’ detestation of the Latin Mass, and finished up looking at the comments of an open theist concerning God’s decree and his demand that God be as limited and creaturely as the rest of us.

Archbishop Vigano Torches Francis, Open Phones

James White, June 20, 2024, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Misc, Musings, Open Phones, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had to take time to read through Archbishop Virgano’s utter torching of Francis and the current Vatican regime at the start of the program, then we took calls on the following topics: conjectural emendation in the Old Testament, issues relating to annihilationism/conditionalism, Shoemaker’s critical study of the Qur’an, advice for a new father, developments in Mormonism, and raising godly

The Mormon Question and Then Open Phones

James White, June 13, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Open Theism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Briefly addressed the “Mormon Question” in light of the recent get-together featuring Glenn Beck, then went to the phones, answering questions on the meaning of Elohim, Open Theism, Mormon Polygamy, prayer to saints, the Sovereignty of God, and finally the schools of Antioch and Alexandria.

Roman Catholics Worshipping Mary on Video, Trump’s New York “Conviction,” Soteriology 101 on Election

James White, May 30, 2024, Exegesis, Open Theism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Resources, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played a video of Roman Catholics singing to a statue of Mary as backdrop to once again explaining that the latria/dulia distinction has no meaning or merit. Then commented quickly on the breaking news of Trump’s conviction in New York, then moved on to comments from Soteriology 101 on election.

The Changing World of Mormonism, A Few Tweets, 90 Minutes

James White, May 28, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Mormonism, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent most of the first hour dealing with the changing world of Mormonism in light of comments from the “Ward Radio Show” and the idea of “religious bigotry” in not accepting Mormonism and its plurality of Gods as a Christian church. Looked at a chart about global fertility rates and what the future might hold in light of the collapse

The Emptiness of Secularist Jurists Demonstrated; Twitter Bookmarks

James White, May 23, 2024, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Listened to Senator Ted Cruz roasting a leftist, radical female judge and took the time to consider the issues at a deeper level. Then I looked at a few videos I’ve marked for review in my Twitter bookmarks, including a PCUSA minister denying the deity of Christ and a Roman Catholic arguing for the necessity of an infallible canon to

Pelagian Pope, Two Part Romans Utterly Refuted

James White, May 22, 2024, Church History, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the Pope’s comments on 60 Minutes, and then dove into a refutation of Brent Lay’s “Two Part Romans” theory (originated in 2013) that is being promoted by Jason Breda in a series of videos. The entire theory is based upon an alleged “ambiguous antecedent” in Romans 1:13, except, there is no such construction there, the antecedent is

Pope Francis on Conservatives, LF on Being “Good,” and Adoniram Judson’s Letter to Ann’s Father

James White, May 16, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A wide range of topics on the DL today, from Pope Francis’ comments in the upcoming 60 Minutes interview, to Leighton Flowers’ “Calvinists think you have to be a better person to get saved” idea, to the amazing commitment of Adoniram and Ann Judson in bringing the gospel to Burma two hundred years ago. As I noted in the program,

Jimmy Akin Debate Report

James White, April 26, 2024, Debate, DL Shorts, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Did a “DL Short” today (45 minutes) due to my not being in a location with sufficient net connection to do a live program. I still have three days of speaking here in Louisiana, then a quick run by Pryor next week before the long trip home. Wanted to review the debates over the last two evenings, and also make

Road Trip DL: Tucker Carlson, Doug Wilson, and Pope Francis

James White, April 19, 2024, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Sounds like the beginning of a lame joke, doesn’t it? But, it was actually two topics, first, my responses to the Tucker Carlson/Doug Wilson program. Then, we looked at Pope Francis’ idea that homosexual men are working out “love.” The program started fine, then, our internet connection died (yes, we are working on improving that situation, but can’t do it

A Test DL of the New Rig

James White, April 9, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Well, I suppose the nice thing is the problem we had was net related, not related to our new set up. The equipment we have installed and set up in the new RV worked fine, but the net kept dropping out on us. I will have to set up Starlink as a back up for Thursday. Anyway, we talked a

Jimmy Akin Debates Upcoming, then Open Phones

James White, April 2, 2024, Debate, Personal, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Spent a few minutes at the start predicting where the debates in a few weeks will go in Louisiana, then we started taking calls mainly on the topic of the five debates we did last month, hence discussions on the unitarianism debate, then moving on to the Flowers and Breda debates. Not sure when we will be doing another program,

This Age is Passing Away: the Emptiness of Secularism, then Hebrews 10 for Resurrection Weekend

James White, March 28, 2024, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Two primary topics on the program today, first, the emptiness of secularism and our need to be continually aware of its influence upon our thinking, acting, and speaking. Then, Hebrews 10 and its testimony to the purpose of God in the sacrifice of Christ, a particularly relevant topic on this Resurrection weekend.

The Marathon Ends: Final Road Trip DL (for Six Weeks Anyway)

James White, March 13, 2024, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Ken Wilson, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Managed to pull off a solid internet connection from a slight wide spot in the road called Lordsburg, New Mexico (really sad little town…lots of abandoned buildings). We covered a wide variety of things, including announcing the upcoming debates, April 24th and 25th, in Lafayette, Louisiana, with Catholic Answers apologist Jimmy Akin (sola scriptura, and “How Does a Man Have

Purgatory Debate – 2/17/2024

Rich Pierce, February 25, 2024, Roman Catholicism

In February of 2024 James White and Trent Horn did two, back to back debates at First Lutheran Church in Houston. The first night was on sola scriptura, and the second on purgatory. It was the conjunction of these two debates that was most informative and useful. We invite our viewers to listen to both debates and compare the assertions

Road Trip Morning Dividing Line

James White, February 22, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Just had to make note of the monumental Alabama Supreme Court decision and the issue of “By What Standard” that simply cannot be avoided. Then we looked at some further issues I had forgotten to get to on the last program about claims Trent Horn made and how all of this is so vitally relevant to the direction Roman Catholic

Live Feed Link to White/Horn Purgatory Debate

Rich Pierce, February 17, 2024, Roman Catholicism

Calvinist James White and Roman Catholic Trent Horn will debate the doctrine of Purgatory. At the start of the Reformation, the question of Purgatory was front and center. After all, it was an indulgence that helped one escape Purgatory to which Martin Luther objected in the 95 Theses. Protestants argue that the finished work of Christ on the cross is

Live Feed Link to White/Horn Sola Scriptura Debate

Rich Pierce, February 16, 2024, Roman Catholicism

Calvinist James White and Roman Catholic Trent Horn will debate the “formal principle” of the Reformation, sola scriptura, or Scripture Alone. From Luther on, Protestants have argued that the Bible is the only “God-breathed” revelation that can provide sufficient knowledge of God and His salvation. Roman Catholics argue that the Tradition is equally valid and important as a source. The
