Spent the last portion of the show trying to finally finish up the Calvinist Call In Show, and made a little progress there. But the first half was spent responding to this article and considering the fact that just because a child is born of Christian parents that is not a guarantee of election and salvation, despite our firm desires

Today I continued my review of Yusuf Ismail’s comments in his debate with William Lane Craig, and then got to Craig’s use of the movie Avatar as a model for the incarnation of Christ. Toward the end of the hour I went back to reviewing a few moments of the Calvinist Call In program with Michael Brown. Mentioned that, if

Started off foolishly trying to reason with a King James Onlyist (his responses show that was about as useful as trying to reason with Peter Ruckman), and then moved on to a brief review of a prayer to Mary found in the new papal encyclical, and then spent most of the hour looking at some more from Michael Brown’s Calvinist

Did my first “solo run” on the DL yesterday, as it was July 4th and Rich had other things to do, so…I ran the whole thing on my own! Finished up my review of the Oliphint/Jaros dialogue (about 50 minutes on that), and then went back to reviewing Yusuf Ismail/William Lane Craig. A jumbo (90 minute) edition! And don’t forget

I decided to jump on the opportunity to address the issues raised in last week’s Unbelievable Radio Programme (see how I used the British spelling?) when K. Scott Oliphint from Westminster Seminary dialogued with Kurt Jaros, a proponent of a “natural theology” method. We will finish up reviewing the program, Lord willing, tomorrow, when I try to do my first

Started off just wandering around a bit, including quoting @HonestToddler from Twitter, and then addressed some comments from Tim Staples from an edition of Catholic Answers Live from a few weeks ago, then addressed some pretty interesting comments by Pastor Bob Hadley against Calvinism, and then went back to the Calvinist Call In program with Michael Brown.

Well, you could have guessed most of it, right? First half hour, the continued degradation of Western Society regarding the redefinition and profanation of marriage; second half hour a report on Germany, EBTC, teaching, and the blessings of meeting believers from all over the world; then about 20 minutes on the fact that Ergun Caner’s Bible is missing 1 Corinthians

DL today at 4:30pm EDT. Planning on a MEGA 2 hour edition, soooo much to cover since leaving for Germany!

Dr. White discussed recent upcoming trips to Germany and South Africa; Timothy George’s continued ecumenical attitude toward Roman Catholicism by a recent article in Christianity Today about Pope Francis. His compromise is hard to understand, because Timothy George is not ignorant of church history and historical theology. Dr. White also discussed an article at the “Gay Voices” section at the

I haven’t a clue what we did on the DL last Thursday other than “we finished Brian’s call and took a bunch of calls ourselves.” Oh, I remember the last one was one of those “what did you mean in this contextless article from 25 years ago” situations that always frustrates me. But anyway, I think the calls were good

Started off playing clips from the April, 2005 appearance of a faux-jihadi before the US Marines, aka, Ergun Caner, as seen in the videos posted below. No amount of deceit on Caner’s part is going to cleanse the net of his lies, and since we had never reviewed that particular presentation, it was very easy to find “misstatement” after misstatement,

Started off with a review of this article from MRM that I found very interesting, then moved to two clips James Swan provided to me from Tim Staples, transitioning from that into a further response to the Calvinist Call In day with Michael Brown, and then finally moving back to the Yusuf Ismail debate with William Lane Craig (along with

Yes indeed, a first…a jumbo DL including a Radio Free Geneva segment and a Radio Free Damascus segment! Started off, though, throwing Rich a curve—skipping the intro music and just making some comments on the Catholic Answers “no, you didn’t force us to make that debate available” silliness. Then a few words on the Pope and redemption, and then we

Well, you won’t be laughing your way through today’s 90 minute DL, that’s for sure. Started off with the jihadi attack in London—and I think some folks will not be happy with where I ended up on that one, challenging us to think about our own hearts in light of those events. But then we moved from that into the

On the program today we started off with a brief report on the events this weekend up at Reformation Montana and the nature of the debate/discussion with Justin Lee (the audio should be available today or tomorrow in our online store). Then I discussed the comments of someone who uses the moniker “Descriptive Grace” who, though he has clearly not

Dr. White discussed the recent release by Catholic Answers of his 2010 purgatory debate with Tim Staples, then discussed a Muslim video which explains “why Protestants are Returning to the Catholic Church,” and then took calls.

Dr. White discussed Islam and took calls. Here’s the program.

Today on a jumbo length Dividing Line I started off asking for your help to get me to London and South Africa in late September or early October. If you would like to help me get to London for a debate on Roman Catholicism, and then to South Africa for numerous opportunities of teaching, lecturing, but most importantly, to debate

James talks about his trip to Omaha and Tour de Apologia, Jason Collin’s “coming out”, a letter about homosexuality on a blog and even takes calls!

Covered two topics mainly today, with two brief calls interspersed. First played Adam’s call to Steve Gregg. Adam is a Catholic Answers forums user, and, true to form, repeated the ever-growing, and still utterly inane “38,000 Denominations” falsehood within the first fifteen seconds or so. Then we took some calls, and moved on to Adam Harwood’s presentation at the John

Rob Bell appeared on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable broadcast this past weekend. The first two thirds of the program were unremarkable, but finally they got to asking serious questions of Bell, who did not handle the encounter very well. Aside from needing to download a profanity beep sound (Bell got a little “edgy” when he started pretending to be a victim),

Did not even bother trying to make a transition between the two halves of today’s program. Started off with a discussion of Islam and eventually the reading of a few “hadith Qudsi,” all of which I explained on the program. Then switched over to a response to yesterday’s attempted response by Peter Lumpkins, taking the opportunity to go a little

Did manage to discuss a few other topics at first, including some gay marriage related topics, but spent the majority of the hour looking at this thread from the Catholic Answers Forums, once again illustrating the fact that the folks who regularly frequent such forums just don’t seem to have an overly voracious desire for the truth.

Started off with a little Lumpy news and comment, then moved into the California AB 460 absurdity, a good bit more on that general topic, later threw in some Qur’an discussion, some clips from the Wilson/Sullivan debate, and a bunch of good calls. I was as tired as could be, but hope it is useful anyway!

Due to scheduling issues with both Rich and I, we will try for a Jumbo DL tomorrow at 6:30pm EDT. Note I said try. I have a busy day, but should be able to make it. Join us then! Currently in “the folder” for the program is the single most absurd act by an “elected official” I have ever encountered,

Did a special Jumbo Edition of Radio Free Geneva yesterday, addressing three primary topics: first, the John 3:16 Conference from a few weeks ago; second, Greg Boyd’s attack upon “PSA,” i.e., penal substitutionary atonement (lots of parallels to the arguments Muslims use); and finally, a full review of Peter Lumpkin’s booklet on Calvinism. Don your “Calvin is my Homeboy” t-shirt

Two rather different topics today on the DL, but I went at both of them with some level of passion, to be sure. For the first half of the program I talked directly to Bassam Zawadi and other Islamic apologists on the topic of the Qur’an and its relationship to the Bible. Some may be lost in the discussion, but,

Spent the entire program looking at the current social conversation brought on by the onslaught of rebels against God’s institution of marriage, including some of the odd, capitulating or accommodating responses of evangelicals as well, including one call on the topic. And don’t forget the WayBack Machine, streaming Dividing Lines from 1998 onward 24/7! You can listen on the Flash

Couldn’t exactly avoid the topic of “Marriage Equality” today (a phrase that is so utterly absurd in its meaning that one is left stuttering at its prevalence in society), so we started off there, looking at Ted Olson’s vain attempts to disassociate polygamy (and any number of other perversions of marriage) from his defense of the redefinition of marriage. Then
