Let’s Talk About the Papacy with Cameron Bertuzzi

James White, May 10, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

I was joined by Capturing Christianity’s Cameron Bertuzzi to talk about the Papacy and things Roman Catholic today for about seventy minutes or so. I did tack on about ten minutes at the end regarding the move toward “the Great Tradition” and “Classical Theism” at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Open Phones Topic: Sola Scriptura!

James White, May 5, 2022, Church History, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

It may be the first time we’ve ever done this, but the fact is, we’ve done this for so long, I just can’t be sure. But anyway, I got the weird idea today to do a live open phones segment on a particular subject, today, sola scriptura. That included issues of the canon as well. Great calls and questions! We

Leaked Roe, Cameron Bertuzzi and Isaiah 22

James White, May 3, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Back in the regular studio for the first time in over a month! Wow, glad to be in the old digs again. Anyway, had to talk a bit about the leaked SCOTUS decision about Roe and the explosion of simple demonic activity all around us. Then we started reviewing some comments made by Cameron Bertuzzi related to Roman Catholicism and

The Decline of Mormonism, John 17:5 and a Lot of Replies to Critics

James White, April 27, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Mormonism, Offense, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Since I am in Cedar City, Utah, I started off the program with a discussion of the decline of Mormonism, its reasons, and how we need to be praying to be used of God to bring light to the darkness. Then I had to dive into some of the amazing things being claimed, asserted, and just plain lied about regarding

John 5, 17, and Starting with Scripture as Our Only Reliable Foundation

James White, April 20, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Snuck another program in up here in Moscow, looking in-depth at John 5 and John 17 in reference to the Scriptural testimony to the relationship of Father and Son. Commented along the way on “Classical Theism’s” obfuscation of Biblical truths and serious concerns about the development of this new “Baptist Scholasticism,” which, by its adherents, is a “recovery of classical

Reflections on Ukraine, Culture of Death Update 1984

James White, March 22, 2022, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Reflected on the shelling of the Irpin Biblical Seminary as I taught within its walls a number of times, so seeing it on fire from Russian shelling was saddening indeed. Then we discussed the current issues relating the to Culture of Death and its promotion of homosexuality, transgenderism, etc.

Sola Scriptura: Do You Really Believe?

James White, March 15, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Talked a bit about a few current events at the start (played video from Mars, for example), but the focus today was on sola scriptura, what it means, why it is central, and why I am simply stunned to see men I used to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with using the phrase as a throw-away joke line on Twitter. Please listen and

Short Follow Up on Aquinas, TR Onlyism in the OPC

James White, March 3, 2022, CBGM, Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism, TROnlyism

Started off with a few comments regarding some of the response to Tuesday’s program regarding Thomism, including a thread by Danny Slavich. Then we listened to key elements of a webcast promoting TR Onlyism from Greenville Presbyterian Seminary and, yes, we made sure to play the part where at the beginning they indicated that the Seminary does not take a

Reformed Thomists?

James White, March 1, 2022, Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Should evangelicals really agree with about 88% of Thomas Aquinas’ Summa? Well, that is what was claimed in a recent article in the Master’s Seminary Journal, so today we tackled that subject, hopefully in a respectful and brotherly fashion. I had intended to get to the Hess/Pallmann pseudo-review, but will have to hold that off till the next program. I

Pale Blue Dots, Philosophy, Feser, and Mt. Carmel

James White, February 22, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yeah, good luck figuring out that title! Covered a lot on a 100 minute program today, from scientism to the Pullmann/Hess debacle back to Aquinas and the Baptists and finishing up with the “Mt. Carmel Challenge.” We definitely covered the waterfront today!

Another Road Trip DL with Commentary, Some Keller Response, and Enduring for the Elect

James White, February 8, 2022, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I’m settled into a quiet nook of the woods in East Texas right now, so we did a program that touched on developments in the covid insanity, provided a response on “contextualization” regarding Dr. Keller, and finished with some thoughts focused on Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:10.

Live from GBTS with Jeff Johnson and Owen Strachan

James White, February 3, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I finished six hours of lecture and immediately set up to do a DL in the lovely library area of Grace Bible Theological Seminary and was kindly joined by President Jeffrey Johnson and by Provost Owen Strachan to talk theology and a little history as well!

Cultic KJVOism, then a Deep Dive into Theological Method

James White, December 28, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Went more than 90 minutes today starting off with a warning about the abusive forms of cultic KJVOism out there, looking at the Ruckman-esque behavior of one Cody Zorn, a KJV pastor down in Georgia. Then we did a major shift in direction and did a full hour lecture on theology, Scripture, and how we define our faith. We eventually

Surviving the Censors, Trip Cancellation, the Roman Papacy

James White, November 26, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First program after having our first episode taken down by Big Brother’s minions in Big Tech. Discussed how we will respond to that and then went into why I am even here (I was supposed to be on the road today, beginning a three week trip) and how we will be rescheduling things in January and February. Then we went

Review of Today’s Totalitarian Nonsense, the Importance of History, Psalm 110, Psalm 12 and KJVOism

Quite a range today! Lots of stuff about leaky vaccines, mandates, and the New Austrian Gestapo strolling through the streets of Austria saying, “Your papers, please!” It’s like no one reads books anymore. Then we looked at the contrast between the Chinese changing history and Isaiah telling us history is meaningful because God is its author. Then we dove into

A New Open Phones Format Show!

James White, November 9, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, let me tell you, Rich is one happy camper. He got the bright idea today, really only a few hours before we started, to use Zoom to allow folks to call in to the program today. And…it worked. So I started off with about 20 minutes or so in response to a King James Only advocate giving a completely

Yes, Lillibell, We Did Another Radio Free Geneva, and It Was Two Hours Long!

James White, October 21, 2021, Church History, Debate, King James Onlyism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Well, it was actually OVER two hours long, and I still did not finish up, but we made good progress. First I responded to Evangelist Ted Alexander’s comments wherein he not only identified Reformed theology as fundamentally Roman Catholic, but said I am a Catholic, and a plant in the church, etc. and etc. So, we demonstrated he is suffering

Miscellaneous Topics Before a Deep Dive into the Perpetual Virginity of Mary

James White, October 14, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First half hour was on a variety of topics, including upcoming trips (and an invitation for you to send your church’s contact information to roadtrip@aomin.org) and a little on Thomas Aquinas. But then we went into the historical argumentation regarding the perpetual virginity of Mary as it was presented in this video demonstrating that, in essence, anything can be proven

Being Reformed, Provisionism in Rome, Aquinas in Geneva

James White, October 12, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a range of items today but mainly looked at comments from the Provisionists on the nature of grace, and then looked at a defense of the new “Reformed Thomism” as well. Went nearly 80 minutes.

Road Tripping in El Paso

James White, October 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m sort of in El Paso (but not quite), with one more stop tomorrow night before I get home. I was going to hoof it straight from here, as it is surely do-able, but the long, long hours are piling up after more than two weeks, so safety suggested stopping at an RV park I know halfway home tomorrow. Anyway,

Litton Becomes Biden, Todd’s Category Error, Hank Fictionalizes History

James White, September 14, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Mainly addressed three topics today, Ed Litton’s egregious excuses for his plagiarism publicly promulgated at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Todd Friel’s argument against seeing Romans 13 as having a basis in God’s law and definitions, and finally a few more minutes examining Hank Hanegraaff’s claims about church history.

Rich Pierce, September 10, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Uncategorized

Split the show in two, first half hour dealing with religious exemptions, the ERLC article on the topic, vaxxonlyism and the carnage it has produced, etc. Then switched to responding to claims made by Hank Hanegraaff, the former Bible Answer Man, regarding church history. Included a short five minute sermon for us all at the end!

The Regime Tightens Its Control, A Review of Dr. Gagnon’s Soteriology Posts on Facebook

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

Thoughts on the Legacy Standard Bible and CBGM, Roman Catholic Topics

James White, July 8, 2021, CBGM, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Spent some time talking about how Australia has fallen into the pit of totalitarianism, then did an unplanned discussion of the Legacy Standard Bible’s reading at Jude 5 and the upcoming ECM volumes (and CBGM data) for Mark that will be available in about three weeks. Moved from there to a discussion of the “debate” of some kind between Michael

A Packed Program

James White, July 6, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Not the most descriptive title, is it? Basically covered more on the SBC plagiarism scandal, reviewing some of what I included in my article about Tim Keller’s “being a heterosexual won’t get you to heaven” silliness, and how it was picked up by, and repeated by, so many others. We looked at the Docent Research Group, and wondered out loud

First Road Trip Test Dividing Line: the Biden Regime against Christianity, Francis and Fr. Martin, Gregory’s Confession

James White, June 29, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

So I am thrilled to be on my first day of a “test run” with the new A&O “mobile command center,” our 5th wheel unit that I will be using to do a major western loop at the end of July into mid August, and then across the nation to G3 at the end of September as well. The truck/trailer

Speaking the Truth Is Dangerous Today/More on Jimmy Akin and Sola Scriptura

James White, June 22, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

The first half hour was focused on three videos most of us saw over the past week, looking at the tremendous problems in the black community in Chicago related to violence and crime, and how all of it goes back to fatherlessness and a fundamental rejection of God’s law concerning the family and sexual activity. Then in the second half

Big Brother Tweets, FB Discussion, Junias, and Sola Scriptura

James White, May 13, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Joe Biden told everyone their choice is clear: live in masks or take Dr. Fauci’s Genetic Wonder Oil via tweet right as the program started, so we talked about that a bit. Spent about twenty minutes on the assertion that the ESV is “removing” things from the Bible in reference to effeminacy, etc., then moved to a quick overview of

“White Nature,” the 1946 Lie, Jimmy Akin

James White, May 6, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Three main topics today on a 75 minute edition of the Dividing Line: first, asking what Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, means by “white nature” and where this concept comes from. Second, we look at the trailer for the 1946 movie that is being fund-raised for right now regarding the alleged “mistake” in translating arsenokoites at 1

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
