We continued our response to a lengthy email I received regarding God’s sovereignty, theodicy, the nature of Adam and Eve, judgment, etc., in the first 45 minutes of the program today, followed in the last half by, I believe, a whopping four minutes of Dr. Phil Fernandes’ opening statement (which means I provided a lot of commentary, including a fairly

Today’s DL was 90 minutes in length to give me time to launch into two new studies. First, I began responding to a lengthy e-mail relating to the grounds upon which God can justly judge men in light of His sovereignty. Then, after 45 minutes on that I moved into a review of the Fernandes/Comis debate on the Five Points

If you don’t know what the Wayback Machine is you need to check this page out. We have digitized almost every Dividing Line program since our first program on September 26, 1998. These programs are now running in succession twenty four hours a day and seven days a week using our live webcast link. The neat thing about the above

Started off the program today talking to our good friend David Ould who is in town, visiting from Sydney. We talked about life as a Sydney Anglican, etc., for the first half of the program. Then we launched back into our Radio Free Geneva examination of Bob Coy’s sermon against Calvinism.

Started off with Brother Jack’s sub-six minute sermon on Calvinism. I’d love to give you the link, but as soon as I contacted him about it, he pulled it. But, Zeb the Calvinist had saved it on his Droid, so…we reviewed it, rather fully. It was titled, “Calvinists Don’t Believe in Any of the Solas.” Then we moved back to

Held off on continuing our Radio Free Geneva examination of Bob Coy’s sermon against Calvinism. Instead, we addressed a couple of e-mail questions, then took the time to listen to some comments from Abdullah Kunde on the issue of the transmission of the text of the New Testament. Then took come calls, including one on Romans 5, and one from

We continued on with our survey and examination of Bob Coy’s “What’s the Point” sermon. Only covered a few minutes, since we took the time to go into such things as foreknowledge, etc. May press on with part 3 on Thursday, or, may take a break to answer some e-mail questions, I haven’t decided. We will see!

We began our review of Pastor Bob Coy’s “What’s the Point?” sermon at the Calvary Chapel of Ft. Lauderdale (found here) from October 28, 2007. Got to his use of Lazarus as an example of a dead man being able to respond obediently to God (yes, that was his assertion). We will pick up with the next portion of the

Well, it was hot in Phoenix today, and our AC was not working, so that’s why it was a “warm” Dividing Line! First program back after my trip to Alaska, so, I meandered a bit. Announced we will be doing a Radio Free Geneva on Thursday, and took calls on various topics, including teaching kids about the sinfulness of man

I had not intended, at all, to discuss it, but I got into the following quotation: First, as I wrote in my book, How to Win the War Against Radical Islam, the war against the Muslim Jihadists will be long and costly and will not be won until we bomb the Kabah in Mecca. Islam is based on a brick

Covered a fair amount of ground on the DL yesterday, including a lot of “in the news” items at the start (including the making of spanking of a two year old a felony in Texas—believe it or not), and then got back into responding, finally, to some of Abdullah Kunde’s remarks from a recent debate with Samuel Green in Australia.

Started off the program with commentary on the moral depravity of our Western culture in light of the Anthony Weiner scandal and the New York legislature looking at adopting the profanation of marriage. Then transitioned into Radio Free Geneva and managed to finish off the Ron Armstrong/Cornerstone Community Church “sermon” on predestination. I will be home, Lord willing, next week,

Continued the Radio Free Geneva we began Thursday, examining Pastor Ron Armstrong’s comments on predestination from the Cornerstone Community Church. Got much more into the “meat and potatoes” today. Had one technical glitch (never, ever trust hotel wi-fi!), but thanks to Barry and Rich the file has been edited and all should be well. We are going to try for

We began our review of Ron Armstrong’s sermon on predestination, as promised (see previous entries for links). Only managed to get about ten minutes into it, so I will continue my review, Lord willing, next week as we do some Skype-based DL’s as I travel to New Mexico and Colorado. Join us then!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, it’s time for a Radio Free Geneva. Yes, I know Gene Cook reviewed this sermon a while back, or so I’ve been told. That’s OK, it is still worth it. If you know any of the young folks who were in the audience at Cornerstone Community Church in Wildomar,

Announced that we will be doing a Radio Free Geneva on Thursday, discussing this sermon, and then went through some thoughts prompted by Jeremy Tate’s article here. Then took calls, including one from John on BioLogos and theistic evolution, and others. Another wide ranging program!

Reported on my very interesting discussion with Mormon missionaries at a ward chapel in the Phoenix area Tuesday evening, then took a call from a brother in the West Indies on the subject of Revelation 5:9-10, then talked to the Open Air Atheist a bit, and finished off with two more calls. Another “eclectic” program!

Had a good time on the program today reviewing comments made a number of years ago by Islamic lecturer and apologist Jamal Badawi regarding the alleged passages in the Bible that prophetically speak about Muhammad. I had been looking for his comments on Isaiah 9:6-7 for quite some time, and finally found them. Then we did a fun contest based

I started off with a half hour monologue on being of two minds as a Christian, specifically, the conflict that many of us experience in possessing knowledge of “natural science” and the like, and yet seeking to have a Christian worldview that honors God’s revelation and is whole and complete and pleasing to Him. Some folks will find the discussion

Started off with the revelations coming out of Liberty regarding the “investigation” of Ergun Caner, followed by a brief (well, relatively so) examination of the outrageous behavior of Harold Camping yesterday, and then took calls, mainly on Camping’s theology. Here’s the section on Evangelist Tim Lee and his claims that Ergun Caner never lied:

Wide ranging discussion today, but at the end of the show Abdullah Kunde called in to talk about….Harold Camping. Can you believe it? Only on the Dividing Line!

You never know when a program is going to take off…but this one sure did. Went fifteen minutes long, too, just to get all the calls in. So…started off with the announcement that the Great Evangelical Cover Up continues on with the hiring of Ergun “I was born in Istanbul and trained in jihad and came to the United States

My sincere thanks to my good friend and brother, Michael Brown, for giving us over an hour of his time today to discuss his new book, A Queer Thing Happened to America, which is available in our Amazon bookstore, here. Please take the time to listen to this interview and consider the issues it raises. This is one of the

I was left without words a dozen times as I listened to Michael Brown dismantle Dr. Eric Smaw (Dr. Smaw assisted in the dismantling) in a recent (April 21) debate on the redefinition of marriage. Spent the whole hour listening to the rebuttals and cross examination today on the program. Don’t forget that Dr. Brown will be joining me on

Going to have our regular Tuesday DL on Monday, regular time (11am MST). And don’t forget that on Thursday the 12th we will be joined by Dr. Michael Brown.

I took the first portion of the program to analyze the comments made by Minnesota Representative Steve Simon that have become widely distributed over the last few days. Then I began playing some portions of the recent debate between Dr. Smaw and Dr. Michael Brown. Here, also, is the video of the first portion of the program:

Started off doing what, well, as far as I can see, very, very few people have been doing since the strike against Bin Laden’s compound: reminding folks, by reading directly from his own pen, what motivated and powered the most wanted man in the world. Then we started with calls on textual criticism, Bible translations, and the soteriological intent of

Started off briefly addressing some issues that arose from my reading of a great new book by Michael Brown, A Queer Thing Happened to America. I hope to have Michael on to discuss this topic soon, but till then, you will want to get your own copy. Want to help A&O out in the process? Get it through our Amazon

Started off with a brief report on my encounter with Brian McLaren on the Unbelievable program in London (the show airs on Saturday, we will link to it once it is posted). Then finished off the Ehrman/Licona dialogue, alson from Unbelievable, and then took a call from Patrick on the role of evidence in apologetics.

Given that I will be at the office at 4:30am to be on Unbelievable in London with Brian McLaren, we are going to move the DL to the normal Thursday afternoon time (4pm PDT). Join us then!
