Report on Trip to Birmingham, South Africa, and London, Along with More

James White, August 29, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Covered my two weeks overseas with lots of side-trips and commentary on related issues, and toward the end focused upon some issues that came up in my debate with Zakir Hussein on the crucifixion, especially John 17:5 and Psalm 22:16. Also showed off a new Bible, a Polish translation of The Roman Catholic Controversy, my Bates hat from London, and the

More on WLC and Apologetic Methodology (First Hour), Karlo Broussard on the Alleged Parallels Between Atheism and Sola Scriptura

James White, July 25, 2017, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

First hour we played material relevant to apologetic methodology as William Lane Craig continues his very interesting, if somewhat confusing, interaction with the debate Sye did on the radio. But we only got halfway through that, as I wanted to review some comments by Karlo Broussard on catholic.com attempting (badly) to parallel atheism with Protestantism (specifically, a belief in sola scriptura).

Is Justification Forensic?

TurretinFan, July 5, 2017, Roman Catholicism

Some opponents of reformation theology attempt to deny that the term justification can be used in the context of declaration of righteousness, as opposed to infusion of righteousness. For those folks, the passages that contrast justification with condemnation should help. Surely none of these people will think that condemnation is the infusion of unrighteousness. Rather, they will recognize that condemnation

Epiphanius and the Bodily Assumption, Then Facts and Observations on the Continued Misrepresentations of the Yasir Qadhi Dialogue

James White, June 19, 2017, General Apologetics, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Took the first half hour to deal with an issue from the Marian Dogmas debate in London, specifically, the citation of Ephiphanius related to the Bodily Assumption. Then in the second half hour I went through a number of corrections of the narrative being promoted by a number of folks relating to the dialogue with Dr. Yasir Qadhi, correcting, reproving,

The Audio for the Marian Dogmas Debate has been Posted

Rich Pierce, June 2, 2017, Roman Catholicism

Recorded on May 15, 2017 in London: Do the Catholic Church’s Teachings on Mary Constitute Authentic Christian Doctrine? James White debates Peter D. Williams at the London Oratory in St. Wilfrid’s Hall.

Why Celebrate the Reformation? Reason 187: Rome’s Marian Dogmas

James White, May 11, 2017, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Aside from a few technical hiccups and a bit of wandering about, spent pretty much the entire hour on Rome’s Marian teachings, looking in particular at where they came from. I read from such sources as the Odes of Solomon, the Ascension of Isaiah, and especially from The Protevangelium of James. Be warned! Some of this material is a bit difficult to listen

A Program for the INC: John 1:1, 17:3, and Other Biblical Issues Post-Debate

James White, May 2, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Iglesia Ni Christo, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Uncategorized

Did a follow up on the INC debate and its aftermath today, responding to the posting of a Facebook article likening me to Simon Magus in my seeking to obtain the book, Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia Ni Christo (Erano G. Manalo). Went in-depth into John 1:1, 17:3 (didn’t even go on to 17:5!), and discussed the Holy Spirit as well.

A Mega Dividing Line with 50 Minutes of Open Phones

James White, April 19, 2017, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Too many topics to even start to list, but mainly in the opening I discussed the upcoming debates in South Dakota and London, then discussed a meme Ijaz Ahmad posted over the weekend, and then read all of William Lane Craig’s answer to a very insightful question sent to him. Then we took phone calls on…every topic imaginable! Only DL

Resources on Eschatology Then Matt Walsh, Rome, and Mary as Mediatrix

James White, April 6, 2017, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

First portion of the program was on eschatology (gasp!) and some resources that you might find useful on the topic. Then we moved over to Roman Catholicism in reference to Matt Walsh, the move to have Mary named Co-Redemptrix in a dogmatic fashion, and the narrowing of the cultural landscape that will force believers and Roman Catholics closer and closer

Reformation Tour, Allen Debate Invitation, Rome and Mary, and More

James White, April 4, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, King James Onlyism, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Covered a pretty wide range today, starting with Mike O’Fallon talking about the upcoming Reformation Tour in Europe in September. Then we moved on to my debate invitation for David Allen. Then we played a video from Catholic Answers on why Mary is called “woman” by Jesus, demonstrating what happens when you deny sola scriptura. Then we looked at a Muslim

Tim Staples and the Marian Dogmas

James White, March 29, 2017, Christian Worldview, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

After some brief comments about some of the insanity in the world at the start, focused the rest of the hour upon the comments made by Tim Staples on yesterday’s Catholic Answers Live program where he talked about Mary and her role as co-redemptrix. Important stuff during this 500th anniversary of the Reformation! Here is the YouTube link:

The Advent of Moral Anarchy

James White, March 1, 2017, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

It was not hard at all to put together a string of articles on the moral anarchy in Western culture today, especially on the “transgender” issue. Touched on the conviction by a lower court of two men for daring to quote John 14:6 in public discussion in the UK. Then talked about a few other items, including the upcoming debate

Sola Ecclesia Preached by Robert Sungenis, and a Response to Robert Morey, et al.

James White, February 6, 2017, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Personal, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent an hour going over Dr. Tony Costa’s debate with Dr. Robert Sungenis on the Immaculate Conception, and Tony was kind enough to join me to discuss how Sungenis proved our accusation of sola ecclesia over and over again. Then I spent 45 minutes responding to recent untruths presented by Dr. Robert Morey and others. Hopefully helpful thoughts on evangelism, consistency,

A Little AHA, and a Long Review of a Roman Catholic Response on John 6

James White, February 3, 2017, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent a few moments discussing the antics of AHA (which continued through the program) and then played the entirety of a 14 minute response by Bob Sullivan to the “John 5 for Roman Catholics” episode we did a few weeks ago. I had not watched it, so we got to watch it live! Here is the YouTube link:

Pre-Debate/Conference Dividing Line

James White, January 16, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent most of the program talking about the upcoming debate with Trent Horn, Staff Apologist for Catholic Answers, and how I expect the argumentation to go, etc. Then we went over the upcoming events on the trip, including the dialogue with Dr. Yasir Qadhi in the Memphis area, the Deep South Founders Conference, and my stop in Dallas for the

A Potpourri of Topics

James White, January 12, 2017, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Persecution, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide range of topics today, starting with an odd statement by Dr. David Allen about Mother Theresa on Twitter. Then we looked at the Episcopalians in Glasgow having a Muslim woman chant a portion of the Qur’an that denies central Christian doctrine as part of their services. We then looked at how “faith leaders” blessed a Planned Parenthood

John 6 For Roman Catholics

James White, January 10, 2017, Exegesis, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Today we did a special Dividing Line of nearly two hours in length focusing upon walking through the sixth chapter of John. Roman Catholicism teaches that Jesus taught transubstantiation in this chapter, but a fair reading of the text reveals otherwise. This is a program we hope will be shared with many Roman Catholics. Here is the YouTube link:

Coming on Tuesday’s Dividing Line: John 6 for Roman Catholics

James White, January 8, 2017, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism

On the upcoming edition of the Dividing Line, Tuesday, January 10th, at 1pm EST, I will be presenting “John 6 for Roman Catholics.” This will be a live walk through the 6th chapter of John based upon the original language text. And while one cannot help but deal with the central issues of the gospel in 6:35-45, we will continue

Shameless Papist Pretensions Followed by Foundational Issues with Mike Licona

James White, January 5, 2017, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Open Theism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

A tale of two programs today: I was going to briefly address a Roman Catholic on Twitter and that “briefly” became fifty minutes. But then I switched over to a review of an interview with Dr. Mike Licona for a total of about 1:40 for the program today. Here is the YouTube link:

New Years Thoughts, God’s Decree, the Pope and Mary, ET Stalkers

James White, January 3, 2017, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

90 minute program today with some thoughts from 2 Peter to start off the New Year, then a lengthy discussion of God’s decree, followed by a few items related to Islam and the Ecclesiastical Text folks. Here is the YouTube link:

The Nature of Saving Grace, a Few Textual Variants, End of 2016

James White, December 30, 2016, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Dragged myself to the studios today and managed a quick program on a few interesting topics that hopefully will edify the saints. Thanks so much for your prayers and support, and we truly look forward to continuing to serve you and proclaim the gospel in 2017! Here is the YouTube link:

Andy Stanley Separates Incarnation and Redemption; Paul Falsely Accused; Tim Staples Reviewed

James White, December 8, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off considering Andy Stanley’s claim that Christianity does not stand on how Jesus came into the world, only on the resurrection. Then we looked at Paul’s statements in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 9 as a backdrop to considering common accusations against Paul made by Islamic apologists. Then in the second hour we spent a good deal of

Conclusion to the Sola Scriptura Series: Apostolic Tradition and Canon Issues

James White, October 10, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I managed to resist the temptation to do the “politics talk” and finished up the introduction to sola scriptura today in a 90 minute program focusing upon the final sections of Karlo Broussard’s arguments on Catholic Answers Live, and then discussing two more important aspects, “Apostolic Tradition” in the early fathers as well as the issue of the canon. Not easy material

Sola Scriptura Continued with Interaction with Karlo Broussard of Catholic Answers

James White, October 6, 2016, Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Aside from a few brief comments at the start about a few current events we focused pretty much fully on the sola scriptura series, finally getting to the clip from the debate with Mitch Pacwa and listening to a number of segments from the Catholic Answers Live show with Karlo Broussard. Important information! Here is the YouTube link:

Jory Micah and El Shaddai; Spencer Toy and CrossExamined; Sola Scriptura Continued (Part 3)

James White, October 4, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Three topics on the program today; for the first 15 minutes or so a quick rejoinder to Jory Micah and her “El Shaddai means ‘one with many breasts'” tweet, then about half an hour in response to Spencer Toy’s article on crossexamined.org, “An Open Question for Presuppositionalists.” Then we got back for the last 45 minutes to our study of

Sola Scriptura Examined and Defended, Episode Two

James White, September 29, 2016, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

We continued our series on sola scriptura today, looking at what sola scriptura is and is not. Touched on the issues raised by charismatic claims of “thus says the Lord” a bit as well. We really believe this is an important series, and hope our listeners will find it foundationally edifying. Here is the YouTube link:

Uber-Mega Dividing Line: Sola Scriptura, and Islamic Denials of the Deity of Christ

James White, September 27, 2016, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Went 135 minutes today (hence the “uber-mega” designation) covering two primary topics: sola scriptura defined and defended against a recent attack upon it by Karlo Broussard of Catholic Answers (first 90 minutes), and then a “live” review of a new video against the deity of Christ from a Muslim perspective (link). A lot of foundational, basic teaching today that we think is

Dr. Licona Ignores Me; Alan Ruhl and the Roman Priesthood; Steve Tassi On the Non-Debate

James White, August 23, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Briefly commented on Dr. Mike Licona’s “I don’t pay attention to White” statement on Facebook—noting that just a few months ago he paid enough attention to promote a debate challenge from a fellow who was told by God to debate me on Calvinism. Sorta ironic. Anyway, spent the vast majority of the program responding to this article from Alan Ruhl,

Responding to William Lane Craig on Roman Catholicism Then Brief Discussion of Anti-Reformed Rhetoric

James White, August 16, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Spent nearly 90 minutes listening to the entire presentation by William Lane Craig on Roman Catholicism. No one can accuse us of misrepresenting him, to be sure! A vital discussion of why the “Mere Christianity” movement is unbiblical, dangerous, and untenable in the long run. Then a brief review of my trip to California this weekend, my attempted interaction with
