Philippians 2, the Carmen Christi, and Accusations of Kenotic Heresy

James White, April 21, 2022, Exegesis, Jehovah's Witnesses, Offense, Pauline Studies, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Thomism

In our third program from up here in Moscow, Idaho, we did a deep dive into Philippians 2, the great “Carmen Christi,” considering its meaning and application in a number of contexts. That was the majority of the program, but when I responded to the accusation of “kenotic heresy” on my part by Pastor Josh Sommer, demonstrating that the allegation

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

Stockholm Syndrome and Masks, and Bridled Access to the Scriptures?

James White, April 19, 2022, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

We were live from Moscow, Idaho today on a Road Trip Dividing Line. Talked a bit about what’s going on up here, talked a bit about the lifting of mask mandates on US flights, and the reality that honestly, folks, the tyrants who mandated them have not gone anywhere, they are just gearing up for the next round. Then we

An In Depth Study of Tradition and the Canon

James White, April 14, 2022, The Dividing Line

After we spent a little time on some positive reports of God’s grace, and then a few minutes on some negative developments of more rebellion and insanity coming out of Disney, we dove into a fully discussion of tradition, the canon, and finally looking at a series of Tweets by Steve Meister on the table of contents of your Bible

John 10, Thomas, Hagiography

James White, April 12, 2022, The Dividing Line

Today we dove into a section of John 10 (with a few interruptions for commentary on the weather outside my unit) and then looked at some elements of Aquinas’ commentary on the same text. Then we read an article that contained hagiography concerning Thomas and considered the kind of thinking that lies behind such perspectives.

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva: Frank Turek’s Anti-Reformed Video

James White, April 11, 2022, Debate, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line

This morning Dr. Frank Turek of CrossExamined.org posted a short video clip from one of his many public speaking engagements. You have to give Frank credit, he goes out there and takes the questions. That is appreciated. But the inconsistencies in the answers are why we have often had to comment on what is being said. In this video he

Roadtrip DL from Salt Lake City: Jackson-Brown and the Culture of Death

James White, April 8, 2022, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Never dreamed in the early 1980s I would someday be doing a live “webcast” (of all things!) from Salt Lake City, but here we are! Discussed the Jackson-Brown issue in light of the Christian worldview and many other related issues. Also listened to Brandan Robertson twist John 11 into a homosexual-affirming pretzel.

Did the Father Forsake the Son, World View and Aristotle

James White, April 5, 2022, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Today’s program came to you live from Las Vegas, Nevada (where it is quite windy today!). Our first Road Trip DL in a while, but we won’t be home for about three weeks, so, get used to it! Addressed some comments from Dan Wallace about the Father “forsaking” the Son on the cross (the old Psalm 22 quotation issue), even

Pluto, Finland, the Evil Regime, and Scripture and Tradition

James White, March 31, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

A potpourri of topics for our last DL in studio for most of April. Had a little something for the homeschoolers about Pluto’s age, some commentary on the acquittal of the Lutheran Christians in Finland, a good deal on today’s call by the Biden Regime for surgery for “transgender children,” etc. Then we transitioned into a theological discussion based upon

Brandan Robertson’s Continued Apostasy, Yuvul Noah Harari’s Mengelian Worldview

James White, March 29, 2022, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a number of topics playing off of comments made by Brandan Robertson regarding the resurrection, the Bible, etc. We then talked a little bit about the discovery of an exceptionally ancient inscription in Israel that is highly relevant, and finished up looking at some quotes from Klaus Schwab’s chief scientific advisor, Yuvul Noah Harari.

Thoughts on Scripture in Our Challenging Day

James White, March 24, 2022, Christian Worldview, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The rush of insane “believe this mass delusion or we will silence you!” stuff going on in our world caused me to reflect on the question, “are ancient writings really able to equip us to deal with modern challenges?” You will have to listen to discover the answer!

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.

Christian vs. Mormon Debate Review

James White, March 17, 2022, Debate, General Apologetics, Mormonism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

I was joined in studio by Daniel Constantino and Oscar Dunlap to discuss their debate with two LDS representatives a few weeks ago at Apologia Church. Goodness, how Mormonism has changed! Almost 90 minutes of discussion, even though I was not able to play much of the debate due to a technical problem with how my computer was connected to

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

A Few Thoughts on the Crush of the World, Responses to Pullmann/Hess

James White, March 8, 2022, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line

Started with a few thoughts on the craziness of the world today and how difficult it is to remain focused with the rush of news, war, etc. Then I started responding to some more of the Pallmann/Hess review, trying to use both my Audio Notetaker program (which we have been fighting recently with sound issues) and Accordance. And though it

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!

Road Trip Radio Free Geneva!

Rich Pierce, February 15, 2022, Church History, Debate, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Our first road trip version of Radio Free Geneva! I guess we could have done it on the program yesterday, too, but I did not think of it till I was driving today. So I had forgotten to deal with an important part of Tim Stratton’s presentation yesterday, so I wanted to get to that, and there were some developments

Road Trip Debate Review, Quick Comments on Pallmann/Hess Review

James White, February 14, 2022, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Molinism, Personal, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Out in the middle of Texas somewhere near I-10 at a pretty nice little RV park (it is a former KOA, but now has a nice little cafe that just provided me with a very tasty, fresh cheeseburger) that I will definitely visit again in the future. I pushed myself to get here in time to do a DL and

Ed Shaw, Church Split, Provisionism

James White, February 9, 2022, Debate, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Homosexuality, Molinism, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yet another Road Trip Dividing Line, of course, this time looking at a clip of Ed Shaw on how his homosexuality has made him “more like Jesus,” a quick listen to the opening of a “book review” of the “low hanging fruit” book called The Potter’s Freedom, a quick response to Leighton Flowers thinking that there is no difference between

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!

Evanescent Grace

James White, February 2, 2022, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Pastoral Theology, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Evanescent is not a common term in our language today, but it is being used as a means of attacking Reformed theology, and today we dove into Matthew 13 to address the issue, live from outside Conway, Arkansas. We are hoping to do another program tomorrow from Grace Bible Theological Seminary, but we haven’t tested things yet, so, we will

Road Trip Before the Storm

James White, February 1, 2022, Christian Worldview, Church History, Molinism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Evidently a big winter storm is heading my way, but we got a program in anyway, discussing my recent defense of Greg Bahnsen, attacks on religious freedom, and an article on Irenaeus’ view of “apostolic tradition” (found here). We finished up with a discussion from Isaiah 10 and the freedom and power of God in history. We will try again

Frozen Road Trip Dividing Line

James White, January 28, 2022, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Started off with a little report on the desert rat traveling in sub-freezing weather, then discussed such things as Joe Rogan, Provisionism, guys pretending to be gals, Biden’s inevitable ultra-leftist SCOTUS appointment and the danger of self-driving cars. Quite a range of things!

John 6 Rescued from Leighton’s Scissors, then Jordan Peterson’s Amazing Statement

James White, January 25, 2022, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Greetings from cold Springfield, Missouri! A road-trip edition of the Dividing Line as I caught a part of the Hughes/Flowers debate on John 6:44. Had to point out the basic error in Flowers’ approach, though we will do much more on that when I can download the video. Then we listened to a recent statement by Jordan Peterson on the

Thoughts On Faithfulness in an Uncertain Future

James White, January 20, 2022, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Personal, Road Trip, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did the program from the Mobile Command Center today as a means of testing things out before I hit the road this weekend. I also wanted to test a touch screen we have obtained that should allow me to do mot of what I do on the Flip Board in the Big Studio, but while traveling. And it worked!

Catching Up on the March of the Secular Monster

James White, January 18, 2022, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

So we webcast on two platforms now: YouTube and Odysee. We have freedom to talk about vaccines, Covid, mandates, and the outrageous behavior of the left, while on Odysee, but not on YouTube, which censors anyone who would talk about those things from the “wrong” viewpoint. This means I no longer really have the freedom to do a few stories

Crash and Burn Textual Critical Program!

James White, January 13, 2022, CBGM, King James Onlyism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Well, I did say it would be an experiment, and, well, it was a failed experiment. I thought it would be cool to let folks get in touch via Zoom and ask about a textual variant they particular are interested in. I get folks contacting me privately about things like that all the time. So, we fired stuff up, opened

Covid Tyranny, then 1 Cor 10:13, John 12:32

James White, January 11, 2022, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did the program on Odysee today so I could talk freely about all the developments over the past week or so regarding vaccine mandates and the admission on the part of so many that pretty much everything we were saying in the middle of 2020 onward was, in fact, correct, despite the charges of “conspiracy theories” and the like. Then
