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

It’s Just a Coincidence Illustrated, Back to Middle Knowledge with WLC

James White, November 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a few minutes about the facts regarding the Kamala Cookies (forced vaccine mandates) and the reality that billions of dollars will buy you tons of lies. Then we moved back into reading and interacting with Dr. William Lane Craig’s presentation of middle knowledge and Molinism in his book, The Only Wise God. The Dividing Line 11/11/2021 It's

A New Open Phones Format Show!

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

Get A Deep Seat in the Saddle, Ma!

James White, November 4, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Debate, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

OK, we covered the waterfront again today! Let’s see, started off with a response to some immature bullying on Twitter, and then moved on to this important and dangerous study regarding vaccines and the spike protein and the long-term degradation of the health and immunity that can result from that spoke protein. Then we moved into a completely different area,

A Sad Twitter Thread, an Hour on the Knowledge and Decree of God

James White, November 2, 2021, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a few minutes on another example of how fear and panic has molded the minds of people in the West since the beginning of 2020, and then transitioned into some more in-depth discussion about God’s decree and His knowledge. This then allowed us to talk about the concept of “middle knowledge” and its role in the Counter-Reformation,

Catching Up on the Culture of Death

James White, October 28, 2021, Christian Worldview, Musings, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Covered a wide variety of topics, starting off with a little information about our next trip (which you can help with here if you feel led to do so!) and then diving into current events focusing upon the rise of the Culture of Death. We looked at the new PCUSA “Climate” hymn, at the explosion of celebrations of perversity, the

The Decree of God: Foundation, Vindication

James White, October 26, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

An intense teaching program today looking at Psalm 2, Job 23, and Ephesians 1, before looking at comments made by Dr. William Lane Craig in his book, The Only Wise God. Almost 80 minutes in length.

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

Clearing the Table Before Tomorrow’s Radio Free Geneva

James White, October 18, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Since we are doing a major length Radio Free Geneva tomorrow, I needed to “clear the table” of the topics that have been piling up in my topics list. So we really covered the gamut, starting off with my thanks for having shared a great time with Skillet as they visited Phoenix last Friday. WE discussed the veneration of vaccines,

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 [email protected]) 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,

Sitting in the Corner with Tom Buck

James White, October 7, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

I’m in Lindale, Texas with the well known Troublemaker of the same area, Tom Buck, so we talked about…lots of stuff, from SBC stuff, G3, the future, you name it. Hopefully our discussions will be edifying to those facing many of the same challenges we are.

A G3 Dividing Line from the AOMin Booth

Rich Pierce, September 30, 2021, The Dividing Line

James and I sat down at the AOMin booth at G3 today and recorded a very special Dividing Line in front of a live audience. James discussed more of the current events in the news, the travel schedule progress and even some CBGM discussion. We even took some questions from the audience. Enjoy.

Road Trip #2 Live from Conway, Arkansas

James White, September 27, 2021, Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The second evening of the mini Conference on the solas is just 90 minutes away so we snuck a quick program from the AO Mobile Command in talking about the trip, what’s coming up at G3 and elsewhere, and responding to Soteriology 101’s paid advertising campaign looking to get “converts from Calvinism.” I wandered all over the landscape, to be

Road Trip Two: WLC and Adam, the Baptism Debates Rage On

James White, September 25, 2021, Church History, Debate, Federal Vision, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

We chose to record today’s DL just in case the connection went wonky and broke up. But, it didn’t, and we managed to get about 70 minutes in today, mainly on two topics (with a brief trip report at the start). First, we discussed William Lane Craig, his views on Adam, and why this is pretty much just par for

Radio Free Geneva (90 Minutes), Further Topics

James White, September 21, 2021, Abortion, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Stumbled on a Soteriology 101 video asking if I am “right” about Matthew 23:37, so we dealt pretty fully with that new presentation for the first ninety minutes, then touched upon some other topics including Bart Barber’s amazing defense of Ed Litton. Mega edition, two full hours! I head out on Road Trip #2, heading for G3, so programs for

ADE, More Litton, More Hanegraaff

James White, September 16, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Third show of the week as we are preparing for the start of Road Trip #2 next week. Started off with some complicated stuff about ADE and mRNA vaccines and the dangerous rise in cases and infections amongst the vaccinated and why this is taking place (link to article). Then we, reluctantly, dealt with the Litton affair again, pointing out

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.

Responding to the ERLC on Religious Exemptions, Creating Variants, Hank Hanegraaff and 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!

Redefining Family, Chic Racism, Horse-Dewormer, Religious Exemptions

James White, September 7, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Misc, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

I do not know how to title a wide ranging program like today’s! We discussed the Buttigieg adoption scandal, Jory Micah’s racism, the amazing crash of Ivermectin from 2015 Nobel Prize winning drug to 2021 horse-dewormer, and then a lengthy discussion of medical exemptions, including the statement Apologia Church has produced on the topic. I also read through an attack

The Sacraments of the State

James White, September 2, 2021, Abortion, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a great thread from Twitter on how abortion is the sacrament of the great religion of the State in light of the Texas abortion law and the responses from the left. Then we talked about unitarianism as a lead-in to the appointment of an atheist as the chief chaplain at Harvard (there is an historical connection), and

ECM of Mark, Mormons Hide in Basements, Gregory on the Spirit

James White, August 31, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

The ECM volumes of Mark arrived ten minutes before the program started, so that sort of distracted me, so I spent some time talking textual issues, CBGM, etc., before moving to the Mormons and their fear of Covid. Talked a bit about the overwhelming flood of negative information and how we need to protect our joy from the corrosive influence

Encouraging Stories, More on Romans 13, New CV19 Studies

James White, August 26, 2021, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Not sure it was fair I had to compete with the President’s speech (which a friend described as a sleepy grandpa trying to talk at 2am), but we covered some neat upcoming events (mainly on the trip to and from G3), talked about some fundamental and foundational issues relating to Romans 13, and finished up looking at a flurry of

The King James Bible Debate with Nathan Cravatt

James White, August 24, 2021, Church History, King James Onlyism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

We were joined by Nathan Cravatt who did a King James Bible debate a few weeks ago, deep in the heart of KJVO country. We discussed his background and how the debate went, and played and discussed some clips as well. Nearly 75 minutes of helpful discussion especially if you have fundamentalist friends caught up in the KJV Only movement.

FDA Goes Warp Speed, Todd Friel Wears Pinwheels

James White, August 23, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

Reported a bit more on the Road Trip, including playing a song we learned during the conference in Idaho (it’s a right catchy tune that works real well if you have a peg leg and a hook hand), commented on the FDA approving vaccines for last year’s virus at warp speed, and finally listened to the now infamous Todd Friel

A Las Vegas Road Trip DL

James White, August 18, 2021, Homosexuality, Islam, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line

No, Pete Buttigieg does not have a husband, and no, he and that other guy cannot become parents. And that embarrassing situation is directly connected to the fall of Kabul, and we explained by at the start of the program today. Then we talked vaccine mandates and what they are really all about, before jumping back into Surah 4:171 and

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

The Episode to Treat Insomnia

James White, August 10, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yeah, I know. I did warn everyone beforehand saying this would be a seminary-level program, and, well, it was. Just a little discussion of today’s journey and where I am before getting into Gregory’s confession of faith once again. For some reason I really felt like I need to provide a lot of background information today, so, I did. After

Roadtrippin’ in Buffalo, Wyoming

James White, August 9, 2021, The Dividing Line

Jumped on line and did a quick program today, starting off with some stories from the road, and then looking at Jonathan Merritt’s “coming out” and how we all knew he was a homosexual but I guess now can talk about it, or something. Then we looked at a wild-eyed leftist woman preacher from Canada who decides the Great Commission

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
