Started off the first half of a 90 minute program reviewing the incredible behavior of the students who attended the Douglas Wilson presentation at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, commenting on the incredibly hypocritical nature of the “inclusive/diversity” crowd (who are neither inclusive, nor supportive of diversity). Played a few audio clips from the audience questions, and then commented on

It was the quintessential example of why we do Radio Free Geneva: a very popular speaker, a huge dose of tradition, a truckload of ignorance, and in this case, a barrel full of anger, all producing a twelve minute long rant “warning” the members of Fellowship Church against that horrible different gospel of Calvinism. It took 90 minutes to work

Well, the Ed Young rant was just too amazing to pass up. So we will do an RFG today to address this recent sermon from Young where he really goes after “Reformed theology.” Join us today at 2pm EDT, 11am PDT!

We got our phone system repaired and installed! Yeah! So, started off with a quick review of a recent debate on annihilationism, then took calls. The first two were on the same subject, so we covered a lot of ground on the topic today. The last call was on dealing with Jehovah’s Witnesses, especially in reference to Colossians 1:15.

Our phone system is back in operation! I will have a few opening comments and then please, por favor, help me make it through the rest of the DL (as I am in a hotel room doing this via Skype!) with your phone calls at 877-753-3341! Join us in just a few moments!

Today I launched into a discussion of the background of the term “secularism” and the fact that today’s aggressive version, which has infected Western culture, is totalitarian in nature. There can be no neutrality from its view, or ours. I then walked through a graphic blog presentation of why we should adopt homosexual marriage.

Today on the Dividing Line we discussed the ever increasing attacks upon our freedoms—religious freedoms and freedoms of speech—and the growing threat of state-sponsored secularism. We played a clip from this morning’s “The Briefing” with Dr. Albert Mohler where he discussed the New Mexico case where once again the homosexual lobby is using the cooperation of the secular left to

Started off with an impromptu Radio Free Damascus, debuting our newly made theme song! Spent half an hour continuing our examination of Abdullah Kunde’s comments from the 2012 debate. Then we moved on to respond to this particular video clip: We then concluded with a brief review of Carrie Underwood’s endorsement of the redefinition of marriage.

James started off commenting on a section from Calvary Chapel’s Pastor’s Perspective program then briefly takes on some comments on the Catholic Answers Forums. The second half of the program continues the review of the Cebalo-Kunde debate.

Moving the program up an hour and going for 90 minutes, including a review of a recent call on the Pastor’s Perspective program from Calvary Chapel. Join us!

Our ISP once again chose the most unusual time to give us issues, so we had a lot of coming and going as far as the stream was concerned, but we managed to get through the program anyway. Covered…a lot of stuff. Talked a bit about the Called to Confusion blog, Carl Trueman’s article today, how to record books to

Pastor Joseph LoSardo of Bread of Life Fellowship in Wayne, New Jersey has begun a sermon series on First Corinthians. Click here to listen to his first sermon (Sunday, June 03, 2012).

Always a pleasure to have my good friend and brother in the Lord Michael Brown on The Dividing Line (even when we were debating each other!). Today we did a 90 minute program on a topic I have wanted to do for a long time, Isaiah 53. I hope to have this program posted as a stand-alone mp3 for distribution

Please join me and my special guest Dr. Michael Brown as we look in-depth, based upon the Hebrew text, at Isaiah 53 and the Suffering Servant. Dr. Brown has recently contributed to a new book on Isaiah 53 and has debated the meaning of this text against Jewish rabbis for decades. This monumental text is vitally important in Jewish evangelism, but

Covered three topics yesterday in a jumbo, fast moving edition of the Dividing Line. First, discussed Joshua Lim’s “conversion” story promoted by the Called to Confusion boys and identified many of the standard “conversionist blindspot” problems that we have seen over and over again with those who think that jumping into the arms of Romanism will give them the certainty

Got into the debate that took place a few weeks ago “down under” between Abdullah Kunde and Jason Cebalo, a Roman Catholic. Here is the debate: I am dealing almost exclusively with Abdullah’s comments, though during the Q&A we will be looking at some of Jason’s comments as well. Today was a bit involved, looking a lot at some of

Invested the first hour in continuing my response to Matthew Vines’ presentation on homosexuality. We only have about 15 minutes left in his presentation, but, the last 15 minutes contain the most emotionally-charged materials, so I figure we still have a solid 45 minutes to an hour to go. I hope to finish the response next week. Then we will

Today we had a jumbo sized DL (90 minutes) once again focusing upon the exploding discussion of homosexuality in Western culture. Started with a lengthy reading of, and response to, this article by Rachel Held Evans. Then responded briefly to a comment by Hugh Hewitt, then noted a statement in Barack Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope, wherein he identifies

There was much to talk about with the North Carolina vote, President Obama becoming the first American President to openly endorse the destruction of a God-given institution, etc.

Tomorrow, Lord willing, there will be a “Mega” Dividing Line program beginning at 1 p.m. Arizona time (1 p.m. PDT/ 4 p.m. EDT). Matthew Vines, or rather his speech, will be discussed during the first hour of the program. You can stream it live at this link, which is the same link that will let you stream the “way back”

James reply’s to Matthew Vines’ “The Gay Debate: The Bible and Homosexuality” YouTube presentation and more.

Going to start the DL today at 3pm MST, 6pm EDT and go for a jumbo edition…probably the same on Thursday, too, as I *might* be on ABN for a debate Thursday night at 8pm EDT (but so far that is not confirmed). Join us then!

Sad, isn’t it? I would love to post the video from yesterday’s point-by-point response to Dan Savage, but we all know in this upside down, morally inverted world, that homosexuals can say anything they want–they can use profanity in High School auditoriums in front of hundreds of students, they can mock students who walk out in offense, and well, the

Had to go for a Mega edition today as I will be flying to Boston on Thursday for the big NoCo video shoot, where I will be carrying water and adjusting lights while the Big Guys, Phil Johnson, Carl Trueman, and Mike Abendroth, do the heavy work. Started off talking religion and politics, Mormonism and the like, and then transitioned,

I’m speaking about 35 miles from my office this evening, so I need to move the DL up some to give me sufficient travel time. A jumbo edition today beginning with some e-mails, and a review of Bryan Cross’ misrepresentation not only of Reformed theology, but of the biblical witness as well. Join us today on the Dividing Line!

Started off with an e-mail from someone who has bought Rome’s anti-sola scriptura rhetoric hook, line, and sinker, without seeing the inconsistency thereof. Then looked at Bryan Cross’ simplistic misrepresentation of his former faith, looked at Bart Ehrman’s response to Dan Wallace and the Markan fragment find, and finished off with a call on the ordaining of the means as

I think I may get to have some help during the summer with blogging things and…well, just general help, so maybe the DL’s will get blogged regularly! Anyway, yesterday we did a Jumbo edition of the DL, pretty well splitting it in half between a continued review of Emir Caner’s anti-Calvinism sermon (somehow it didn’t get Canerized!) and then continuing
