Started off with Radio Free Geneva today, pressing forward with our review of Jerry Walls’ presentation against Calvinism. We got into the heart of his argument today. Not sure if I will do another on Thursday yet or not. Depends on what I run into during my study time in the darkness before sunrise in the morning! In any case,

Dr. White mentioned his upcoming trip to South Africa, (donations are still needed!) Dr. White then responded to Chris Pinto’s conspiracy theories and suggestions from a recent radio program. Then in the second half of the program, Dr. White fired up Radio Free Geneva to respond to a video by Dr. Jerry Walls.

First half I discussed the New Mexico State Supreme Court’s decree demanding Christians compromise their faith (but, of course, not calling for homosexuals to compromise anything at all) as the “price of citizenship” in this fine and upstanding secular nation. Then moved back to responding to Yusuf Ismail’s opening statement in preparation for the trip to South Africa. By the

Since I am headed for Pryor, Oklahoma, on Thursday, this will be the only DL this week. Did a Jumbo on…well, again, a wide, wide variety of topics. Mainly focused on responding to Yusuf Ismail, but, really, covered a wide range of topics, some really important concepts, such as “demythologizing scholarship” and the like. Did start off with a few

Since I did not get to my “South Africa trip preparation materials” on yesterday’s very long Dividing Line, I promised to get to it today, on a special Radio Free Damascus Friday program. Finished up Bashir Vania’s opening statement, and then started into Yusuf Ismail’s comments. Did not get too far as we needed to unpack a lot of background

Jumba/Mega? Well, it wasn’t 90 minutes, and it wasn’t 120 minutes, it was…105 minutes. So, somewhere in between I guess. And even with that, I didn’t get back to Bashir Vania or Yusuf Ismail, so, we are planning on an early afternoon DL tomorrow to catch up! I started off replying to at least the beginning of Anthony Buzzard’s response

Started off responding to the video I posted yesterday, and recording it for posting on YouTube: Then we moved on to discuss a number of things, including the cowardice of Richard Dawkins, the moral depravity of rebellion against God’s creative purpose in gender, and the depth of darkness one plunges into when one abandons the truth and believes a lie.

I actually chose to start off with my continued response to Bashir Vania’s comments because we were in a section that has high apologetic value, which covered the first 45 minutes. Then we opened the phones, and my, the range of topics was vast! Adam and I sat around yammering about OT textual criticism for a while (at least I

By the time I got to the DL today I had already done three hours on the air, so I can’t make too many claims for how coherent I was! Covered a lot of topics in the first half hour before returning to reviewing Bashir Vania’s comments in his debate with Jay Smith. And don’t forget the WayBack Machine, streaming

Let’s see…we talked about Desmond Tutu rejecting a “homophobic God,” the Pope’s comments on homosexuality, the PCUSA’s rejection of the wrath of God, the ongoing attack upon the freedoms of Christian soldiers in the military, Reza Aslan’s book, “Zealot,” and then finally we got to Bashir Vania’s opening statement in a debate with Jay Smith. Something for everyone—sort of!

Did another Jumbo Edition of the DL, starting off with a review of a William Lane Craig response to an inquiry, found here. Reviewed that wild and zany philosophy of Molinism, etc. Then briefly responded to an Ijaz Muhammad article, here, and then spent the last 45 minutes finishing up Yusuf Ismail’s rebuttal to William Lane Craig, which took longer

Took the time to address (through some distractions!) the “Twitter Indulgences” topic that has come up the last few days, trying to get down to the real issue, Rome’s blasphemous teaching on the treasury of merit, purgatory, etc. Then got even closer to finally finishing my review of the Calvinist Call In show! And don’t forget the WayBack Machine, streaming

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.
