Issues Relating to the Text of the Bible

Road Trip DL from Boise

James White, August 17, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Considered the implications of the rapid fall of Afghanistan back into the control of the Taliban at the start of the program, then gave a report from my time in Moscow at the Grace Agenda Conference, NSA Commencement, and preaching at Christ Church. Then looked a bit at the release of Mark in the ECM and the release of the

Another Road Trip DL

James White, August 5, 2021, CBGM, Church Fathers, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Islam, Persecution, Personal, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Talked a little about the trip so far (including my ascent of Mt. Evans this morning), then noted the continued destruction of the Constitution in the United States by the current Regime, and then moved to an in-depth discussion of Gregory of Nyssa’s concluding sentences in his brief epistle, “On Not Three Gods,” once again allowing us to address the

Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1: Testimonies to the Deity of Jesus Christ

James White, July 20, 2021, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, King James Onlyism, Pauline Studies, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

We spent today looking at the argument of Dr. Douglas Stauffer in his attempted defense of the King James Bible relating to Titus 2:13, specifically. Of course, we provided a lot of background, dove into the text, even took at look at P72, the earliest papyri manuscript of 2 Peter (another Granville Sharp Construction location). So if you are into

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

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

A Post-Chauvin Verdict Show

James White, April 20, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The initial verdict came down right at the start of the program but we pressed on anyway! We looked at the Rob Hoogland situation in Canada and the essence of transgender insanity. We looked at the “horrible damage” Samuel Sey did at Ambrose by…speaking words (the horror!). Discovered that some folks think there is no “threat of CRT” in the

John’s Testimony to the Deity of Christ: John 1:1-18, 8:24, 58, 20:28

James White, March 29, 2021, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent nearly two hours in the AOMax studio today diving into the issues surrounding the proper translation and understanding of John’s testimony to Jesus in his Gospel, prompted by the exchange between Anthony Rogers and Brandon Tatum on Instagram, found here.

Relevant Hit Piece, Targeting Home Schoolers, Acts 8:37

James White, February 3, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Responded to an article (hit piece) in Relevant Magazine once again on the “Jezebel” issue, looked at an attorney’s comments about homeschooling, and then looked at how King James Onlyism undercuts our ability to really defend Scripture, looking at Acts 8:37 using our Flip board in the “big studio.” Had a few audio hiccups, as to be expected, but we

Isaiah 9:6, Variant in the LXX

James White, December 29, 2020, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a little Christmas story relating to my new sweater (wait till you see it!), then a little discussion of the speed at which the world has changed in 2020, then finishing up with a discussion of the textual variant found in the Greek Septuagint at Isaiah 9:6.

A Bunch of Woke Stuff, then Underappreciated Incarnational Texts

James White, December 22, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a few miscellaneous developments, such as Hungary’s stand on the family, and then moved to texts that teach incarnational truths but that normally get glossed over, from Mark and from John 6. I had intended to address a particular KJV Only argument, and to respond to some Roman Catholic claims, but simply spaced both as time was short! But,

Paul’s Expanded Shema and Important Truths in Handling Scripture

James White, November 26, 2020, Exegesis, Mormonism, Pauline Studies, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Started off with a little discussion of the upcoming seminar in St. Charles (see below), and then focused on 1 Corinthians chapter 8 for the rest of the program, discussing interpretational issues and dangers especially our audience might face in doing apologetics and exegesis. Finished off with some discussion of a major textual variant in Isaiah 9:6 between the Hebrew

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

Lots of Topics to Finish the Week!

James White, October 16, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Zoomed through a ton of stuff on Covid-19, attacks on religious liberty, the big tech censorship at the start of the program. Reviewed Michael F. Bird’s article, then worked through Dr. Edmondson’s CT article as well, and finished up with a full refutation of Chris Thomas’ false accusation that I reject the first section of the LBCF. An hour and

Jemar Tisby, Woke Ideology, then Jeff Riddle’s “Shocking” Statements

James White, October 13, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

For the first hour we thought through the conclusion to a presentation from Dr. Jemar Tisby, considering standpoint epistemology, whiteness, etc. Then I looked at the “shocking” statements I made in the debate with Dr. Riddle on the TR. Ninety minutes. We will do another program, Lord willing, on Friday.

A Little Covid Madness at the Start, then the Hyper Skepticism of the TR Only Movement in Light of Mark 1:1

James White, October 6, 2020, Atheism, CBGM, Christian Worldview, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Read the Great Barrington Declaration and talked a little bit about my hopes that common sense will finally overthrow the tyranny that has entrapped most of the globe, and then completely changed directions and launched into a discussion of the wealth and value of the Greek manuscript tradition in light of the hyper skepticism expressed by Jeffrey Riddle during our

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

Nope, That Was Not a Debate

James White, October 1, 2020, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

For the first ten minutes I was “Twitter distracted” and talked about “dead air nightmares” from my youth. I guess you could say the first hour was loosely connected to the Presidential Food Fight from Tuesday night, while the last 20 minutes was on the actual debates that will take place Friday and Saturday between myself and Dr. Riddle. But

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

Last Program for a Week—Enjoy!

James White, September 18, 2020, Abortion, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Islam, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a wide range of topics today. Started off with Tim Keller’s tweets regarding voting and abortion, then moved into Anthony Bradley’s assertion that the Puritans would be alt-right racists in 2020. Talked a little about the CDC’s promoting critical race theory, and then read an article by a “former Christian” feeding into the panic from HuffPo. Finished off (starting

The Wrath of the Lamb

James White, September 14, 2020, Church History, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Started off with a few minutes in Revelation 6 and how we must first see the importance of a text in its original context. Then we looked at craziness from Hawaii with pandemic-panic lockdowns, the CDC inadvertently admitting masks are all a political ploy, Jemar Tisby’s retweet of BLM, and some updates on the coming debate with Jeffrey Riddle on

An Introduction to Textual Criticism

Chris Whisonant, September 1, 2020, Textual Issues

In 2008, Colin Smith posted a 13-part series as an introduction to textual criticism. I thought that this would be an ideal time to create a post with links to all of those in the series. Hopefully this is edifying and helpful to you! An Introduction to Textual Criticism: Part 1–Introduction An Introduction to Textual Criticism: Part 2–The Writing and

Examination of Key Errors in the Textus Receptus

James White, August 28, 2020, CBGM, Textual Issues, TROnlyism

This is what I was talking about yesterday on the DL but wasn’t sure of the details or if a graphic had been made, etc. Anyway, this Friday Dr. Stephen Boyce and I will look at some of the key texts in the TR that are clearly not the original readings of the authors of the New Testament. Both of

Swimming the Tiber, Hosea 11:1 in the LXX, Frank Turek on Molinism

James White, August 12, 2020, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Godly Disciplines, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Spent a good portion of time talking about why people “swim the Tiber” in light of Cameron Bertuzzi’s stating that he is closer than he has ever been to embracing Rome’s claims (though, he says, he is still “far away”). Realized while we were doing the program that this month marks the 30th anniversary of my first public debate which

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

Todd White Discovers Spurgeon, Timothy Cho, Free Speech, TR-Onlyism

James White, July 28, 2020, Debate, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Started off with a brief clip from the now famous Todd White sermon from two days ago, then talked a bit about Timothy Cho’s tweets, one on the nuclear family, the other on face masks. I spent a few minutes going over my arguments on the mask mandates in response. Briefly talked about a student kicked out of student government

A Program for Muslims on the Textual History of the Qur’an

James White, June 15, 2020, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

I actually spent a few minutes at the start to acknowledge the ground-shaking “let’s make Obergefell look small time” absurdity that came forth from Neil Gorsuch and the Supreme Court this morning, but only to say that we would focus upon that tomorrow. The rest of the program (from about seven minutes in as I recall) is addressed to my

Jude 4 in Response to a Muslim Question, Deepfakes and God’s Law, Social Justice Stuff

James White, June 1, 2020, Exegesis, Islam, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

About half an hour before the program started I saw a question raised by Zakir Hussain, a Muslim apologist, so I spent the first half hour in Jude looking at the context and the manuscript evidence so as to answer the objection/question. Then we looked at the subject of “Deepfakes” and the law of God, focusing on cosmic justice, and

Paula White and the Bees, Ken Wilson Pumps Up the Dead

James White, May 18, 2020, Church Fathers, Church History, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Provisionism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

No, I am not entering a Really Cool Garage Band competition. Today’s 100 minute long DL starts off with ol’ Paula White buzzing around the stage telling us about bees—you just have to watch. Then we look at something OTHER THAN Ken Wilson’s dissertation, this time his views on James 2 and…Augustine! Yes, poor Augustine takes it on the chin

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

KJV Onlyism, James Snapp Visits St. Catherine’s, Rescuing Isaiah 10 from Leighton Flowers, Ken Wilson Misrepresents Augustine

James White, May 7, 2020, Church History, Exegesis, Provisionism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well the title says it all! Tomorrow we will open the phones at the top of the hour at 1:30pm EDT and take four callers before moving back into teaching material. Join us then! Also, here is a picture of the reference I read toward the end of the program which is so fully misused by Ken Wilson in his

Yet Another Twitter Mob Refuted, Romans 5:1: Indicative or Subjunctive?

James White, April 28, 2020, CBGM, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Two major parts to the program today. First about 45 minutes I dealt with the explosion of another Twitter Mob today, stoked by people like Lex_Luther and Paul Flynn, who misrepresented an exchange I had about the role of politics and the reality of mortality in the panic surrounding Covid-19. They were (and are) calling for my burning, or at
