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

“The Romans 9 Debate:” My Reviews In One Place

Rich Pierce, August 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I have had a number of questions lately about this debate and have found a need to put my review series in one place. So here they are. By the way. Dr. Flowers has voiced great objections to my pointing out his behavior and methods in these reviews. Keep in mind, this was a review of the debate on the

The Freedom to Blame the Potter: Steve Tassi’s Video Reviewed

James White, August 11, 2016, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Took the whole program to listen to and respond to this video from Steve Tassi he titled, “James White: The Freedom to Blame the Potter.” Steve and I will be debating Romans 9 tomorrow night in Southern California. Lots of discussion of the role of tradition in the analysis of the views of others. Jumbo edition! Hope it is helpful!

Marcus Rodgers Video Reviewed, Jacob Prasch Attacks Again, ISIS Attacks the Cross

James White, August 9, 2016, Exegesis, Islam, Oneness Pentecostalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a review of Marcus Rodgers’ video that mentioned me on the doctrine of the Trinity. Then I was going to play portions of Jacob Prasch’s recent video, but ended up summarizing the issues for the sake of time. Then quickly noted the ISIS attack upon the cross in their magazine titled Dabiq. Here is the YouTube link:

Exposing False Attacks Upon the Trinity

James White, August 5, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line

We had not planned to do a DL today, but with the release of a video from Yahya Snow we decided to review two of his offerings, both of which contain misrepresentations of Christian belief. By analyzing these videos hopefully the believer will be better prepared to give an answer for the faith, and to recognize the next “Yahya Snowjob”

Apologia Church, Jeff Durbin, JD Hall, and “the Controversy”

James White, August 3, 2016, The Dividing Line

For nearly two hours Pastor Jeff Durbin and I discussed ReformCon, beer tasting at the Boulders, Christian News, Marcus Pittman, a Thursday night tattoo session, JD Hall, holiness, sanctification, Christian freedom, and the role Internet polemics plays in creating simple falsehoods and controversies over fictional events. I had a few clips I did not get to, as it went longer

Wood, Qureshi, Dunn

James White, August 2, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Misc, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off announcing tomorrow’s show with Jeff Durbin, and playing a few clips reminding folks that yes, in fact, the “meme” over the past few weeks has in fact been, “Hey, those Apologia guys held a beer and tattoo fund raiser, and that’s foolishness.” Then I moved over to the David Wood response to Seth Dunn regarding Nabeel Qureshi. I

A Few Comments in Response to the GOCC and GMA, Plus Psalm 2

James White, July 28, 2016, Christian Worldview, Hebrew Israelism, The Dividing Line

Regular length program today, spending most of the time discussing some Hebrew Israelite videos about yours truly, and then included some comments on Psalm 2. I mentioned a devotional I did last evening at PRBC on Psalm 2, and here is the link. Here is the YouTube link:

A Jumbo Mega Dividing Line—If That Makes Sense

James White, July 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Three sections to today’s 2 hour, 20 minute long program: first, we responded to Jacob Prasch’s reply to last weeks Radio Free Geneva. But unlike Prasch, we played his comments not just once, but twice, carefully analyzing his entire response as a classic example of a complete abandonment of proper forms of argumentation and logic. Very helpful for those who

Judaism’s Influence on the Hebrew Israelites

Rich Pierce, July 21, 2016, Hebrew Israelism, The Dividing Line

Abu Khamr (Truth After Knowledge) joins guest host Vocab Malone. They delve into the mysterious origins of the “Hebrew Israelite” movement, demonstrating its founders were heavily influenced by Rabbinical Judaism. “Faithful to God” makes a cameo to give insight on Jonah, “Lashawan Quadash” and British Israelism. Here is the YouTube link:

Radio Free Geneva: Jacob Prasch and the Armenians (OK, Arminians)

James White, July 20, 2016, The Dividing Line

Did a live Radio Free Geneva from up here in Colorado (or, from under Brewton Parker, all depends) looking at a video posted by Jacob Prasch on the subject. Standard stuff, to be sure, but always good to respond to that which gets the most press anyway. Enjoy, and don’t forget tomorrow’s DL at 6pm EDT with Vocab Malone! Here

Hebrew Israelite History: The Fractured 90s

Rich Pierce, July 14, 2016, Hebrew Israelism, The Dividing Line

Vocab Malone subs for Dr. White. He is joined by former “Hebrew Israelite” Chadash who gives an insider’s view of significant doctrinal changes and schisms within the Hebrew Israelite movement. Apologist “Faithful to God” jumps in and drops knowledge about the failed Y2K “prophecy” and its fallout. Here is the YouTube link:

The Atonement: Defined by Revelation, or Philosophy?

James White, July 11, 2016, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did a Skype based DL today looking at some comments William Lane Craig made about the atonement, and comparing and contrasting these with Hebrews 7:22-25. A good deal of discussion of how we derive our theology and why it is important. Don’t forget that on Thursday at 6pm EDT Vocab Malone will be guest hosting and doing an interview

Ignatius in His Own Words; Problematic EFS Quotes; Doubling Down on False Judging from Afar

James White, July 7, 2016, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a Skype-based Dividing Line from Colorado today, spending quite some time on Ignatius in response to claims by some Muslim apologists about his views. Then discussed some quotes from Bruce Ware on “eternal functional subordinationism” and the entire conflict. Finished up addressing He Who Judges From Afar doubling down on his position. And lots of other stuff thrown in

The March of the Totalitarians, BHI Craziness, Judging From Afar Rebuked

James White, July 4, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Quickly mentioned some of the evidence of the rise of totalitarianism in the United States, then made note of some of the wild videos showing a huge response to our addressing Hebrew Israelism, and finished up with a rather passionate response to JD Hall and Christian News and the attack upon Apologia Church. Here is the YouTube link:

Full Debate with the GoCC on the Dividing Line

James White, June 29, 2016, Hebrew Israelism, The Dividing Line

Today we did a full 2+ hour debate with Elder Rachwaa Shayar of the GoCC on three different topics. A pretty wild ride, to be sure. Make sure to listen through to the end please. Here is the YouTube link:

Vocab Malone and Hebrew Israelism: Mega Edition with Calls!

James White, June 28, 2016, Hebrew Israelism, The Dividing Line

My thanks to Vocab Malone for joining me on a Mega Edition of the Dividing Line today. Our discussion is Hebrew Israelism, and yes, we opened the phone lines. Get a deep seat in the saddle, and don’t forget: tomorrow is a two hour debate with Elder Shayar of the GoCC! Here is the YouTube link:

Dialogue with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on Hebrew Israelism

James White, June 22, 2016, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, this program won’t be interesting for everyone, but for those who are interested in a dialogue on key issues with a representative of Hebrew Israelism—should fit the bill! A little over an hour with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on the deity of Christ, the Bible, Babylon—lots and lots of things. Best to be sitting down for this one! Here is

KJVO Discussion, the Pope Escapes His Handlers Again, Debate Tomorrow, the Trinitarian Controversy

James White, June 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a WIDE range of topics today. Started off expressing our deep condolences to Tony Bartolucci and his family in the death of his daughter Giana. Then we discussed the debate we will be doing tomorrow at 4pm with representatives of the Hebrew Israelite movement. Moved from there to a discussion of Jeremiah 34:16 and Romans 13:9 and King James

Consistency and Fairness Once Again; Then More on the Comma and Textual Criticism

James White, June 16, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Managed to sneak in a third Dividing Line this week (since I have no idea what the next few weeks will bring, for, uh, medical reasons). Yup, talked a bit more about fairness, consistency, etc., and then moved on to a bit more on textual criticism, traditionalism, and the Comma Johanneum. I don’t know when the next DL will be, but,

More on Simple Truthfulness and Consistency, Steve Hays Melts Down, Quick Review of Oneness Advocate Steve Ritchie

James White, June 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went over some developments in the Orlando situation and once again had to address the insanity of asserting that there is only one monolithic Islam and that everything done in the world by anyone who yells “Allahu Akbar!” is to be held to the account of every single Muslim on the planet. Then we noted the melt-down of Steve Hays

Responding to Orlando

James White, June 13, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Many thoughts, many considerations, hopefully helpful, hopefully challenging, maybe controversial. Offered for your consideration. Here is the YouTube link:

An Arminian Loses Psalm 33:10-11, SES and Rome, the Comma Johanneum Once Again

James White, June 10, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off reviewing this article about Psalm 33 and noting that the Arminian author sort of skipped over the actual text that I was referring to. Then we took some time to read some quotes from Evangelical Exodus and discuss the fact that synergistic Thomism is a pretty fertile field out of which to grow Romanists. And then we finished up

William Lane Craig, the Lowered Bar, Molinism, and Erasmus

James White, June 7, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Examined the William Lane Craig clip that started circulating a few days ago about inerrancy and evangelism and apologetics, once again focusing upon the fundamental distinctions that arise when one is Reformed and when one is not in the area of apologetics. Then turned our attention to Erasmus and conjectural emendation, finishing up with a discussion of inerrancy and the

Islamic Apologetics and Islamic Apologists

James White, June 1, 2016, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Mainly focused on a debate from Melbourne on the Qur’an today, but included a response to Yusuf Ismail’s use of Matthew 10 in the (always) vain attempt to establish the idea that Jesus was ONLY sent to the Jews and that His message was not for all men everywhere. No more DL’s this week…I’ll be at ReformCon tomorrow and Friday.

No Creator, No Humanity, or, Of Apes and Men

James White, May 31, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Misc, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Had to tackle the gorilla story, along with the “I decided to live as a goat” story, all illustrative of what happens when your society spits in God’s face and goes it alone. Then talked a little about ReformCon this week and what I will be addressing, and finished up with a bit of a discussion about the exposure of

The Didache, P45, Washingtonianus, and More!

James White, May 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Did a jumbo edition today covering a wide variety of topics but eventually focusing on the BBC clip played in our debate in South Africa about the Didache. Read the entire work, and then in the last thirty minutes did some manuscript/papyri stuff that only geeks will enjoy! As I mentioned at the end of the program, I have no

James returns from his trip to London to South Africa, back to London and then back home by way of Belfast whirlwind tour.

Rich Pierce, May 17, 2016, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Today I did my very first Mega DL. In this episode we review the remainder of this debate.

Hijacking the Scriptures Part IV: The Romans 9 Debate – Rightly Dividing the Word?

Rich Pierce, May 12, 2016, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

In this episode we review the initial cross examination periods of both debaters. Cross examination is where the real debate takes place and a debater’s ability to interact with the answers to his questions is vital in using this time to communicate important things to the audience.
