Did a Wednesday morning edition of the DL from London today, starting off with a few brief comments about the “Circle the Wagons, Shoot Anyone Who Moves” attitude of folks like Peter Lumpkins in reference to the Ergun Caner situation (did he really debate Abdul Saleeb—which means “Servant of the Cross”?), reported on the debate Monday evening, and the two

We will be doing one DL this week, tomorrow, Wednesday, at 11am MST (6pm for me here in London!). We will be really pushing the envelope this time: Rich has installed the new webcasting unit, and I will be doing the program via Skype. Hence, we have maximized the possibilities of utter failure! But, we will press forward anyway! I

We didn’t let a little thing like 5,281 miles get in the way of doing the DL today. With the help of Skype (which seems to keep improving in quality), my MacBook Pro, a really decent Internet connection here in London, Rich’s work back at the office, and our faithful King of All Things Internet in Texas (we had server

Started off the program today talking about the upcoming debate with Robert Price, and requesting continued prayers that I would be given my visa to visit London in time for my flight a week from Thursday. I was going to fairly briefly respond to the comments by Brian Brodersen, Chuck Smith, and Don Stewart, but once I played all the

While I was flying to Atlanta on Thursday the hosts of the Pastor’s Perspective radio program, featuring Chuck Smith, received a phone call about election. One of the hosts mentioned yours truly by name, making reference to the following video posted in response to his claim that Calvinism is Christianity without Jesus. He attempts to elucidate his thoughts. Today on

Started off with some of the very interesting comments made on the Catholic Answers Forums, and then moved to the specifics on the Staples debate, including reading the full context of both of the “Protestant” citations Staples offered. Looked at the broader issues of purgatory, and then moved on to some comments made by Dr. Brown on the issue of

Yesterday, on the Dividing Line (DL), Dr. White interacted with Tim Staples’ interesting assertions regarding Mary being the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. After that, Dr. White interacted further with Sir Anthony Buzzard’s essentially Socinian teachings.

Started off the program with an interview with Dr. Joseph Pipa of Greenville Presbyterian Seminary, and followed this with the beginning of an examination of the anti-Trinitarian claims of Anthony Buzzard.

TurretinFan joined me yesterday for an hour-long examination of Tim Staples’ attempt to undermine Reformed objections to purgatory, specifically, his lengthy attack on Calvin’s doctrine of God’s sovereignty and providence found in his 5-CD series, published by Catholic Answers, on purgatory. Though we had much more material we could have covered, we managed to get to the key errors in

Today on the Dividing Line I spent the first half of the program responding to Bryan Cross and Frank Beckwith on the issue of sola scriptura. The fundamental attack upon the sufficiency of Scripture and hence its truly divine character and purpose in Roman Catholicism remains central to any discussion of the issues that separate us. Then I went to

Started off playing the Brit Hume clip and discussing the hypocrisy of the secularists in demanding that Christians remain silent in the public square. Lesson here: free speech dies when secularists rule. Then we moved on to a half hour examination of the text of the Qur’an and the topic of “being subdued,” i.e., humbled, humiliated, and such texts as

Well, OK, it was just a few days ago. But I forgot to blog the program. When that happens, remember, the file name is always consistent! For example, this DL’s URL is http://store.aomin.org/catalogsearch/result/?q=20091231. Next Tuesday’s DL will be http://store.aomin.org/catalogsearch/result/?q=20100105, and so forth. In any case, I started off discussing a bit about Islam and the Christmas day disaster in Detroit

We need to move the Thursday DL to 2pm to allow us to do what we need to do for our New Years Eve get together at PRBC. Join us then!

As I promised, I began with a discussion of the issues relating to the recent attempted murder of civilians by a Muslim soldier of Allah. Then we had a fairly lengthy call on witnessing to Mormons, and a call on the procession of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity.

Great calls on the program today, followed by an examination of some comments in the Hitchens/D’Souza/Prager debate from 2008.

We will be doing the DL live today at 2pm MST, 4pm EST, and 3:13am PST (just kidding for you confused folks in California). Join us then!

I started off with a brief discussion of how I’ve found the Amazon Kindle to be a great asset in my studies (and how you might as well), and then went to the phones, which filled up pretty quickly. Then, once I cleared them all, I responded to this article from WorldNet Daily on the Manhattan Declaration.

We started half an hour early yesterday on the DL so that I could play the majority of the comments made by J. Ligon Duncan in defense of his signing of the MD. We also read through some material by Dr. Nielsen who likewise signed. Hopefully we found a solid ground upon which to speak to the issue without losing

We will be starting the DL half an hour early today (pre-feed at 3pm MST, 5pm EST, program at 3:30) so I can cover the entirety of the interview just recently posted with Dr. J. Ligon Duncan on why he signed the Manhattan Declaration. I want to play as much of the interview as I can, and interact with it,

Started off with a discussion of religious freedom and Islam in light of the Swiss minaret ban, then started taking calls on Darwinism, Mormonism, and Reformed theology. The calls made for a quick hour to be sure!

Remember, there’s no DL today, as I am sitting at Gate A25 in Phoenix waiting for my flight to St. Louis. Yesterday I had to use the dreaded “John Denver Christmas Music” threat to get the calls going, but they came in, and we covered a wide variety of good topics.

Took a total of three phone calls today, however, the first and last sort of got squished to the ends of the program to make room for a very lengthy discussion with a Muslim caller, Sadiq Abdul Malik from New York. A very interesting hour, to be sure.

I played a portion of a debate from Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable program in the UK where the Sikh representative turned out to be part of Dennis McKinsey’s Biblical Errancy group. Then we took calls, including two on the subject of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Made some hopefully helpful comments on the need to be grounded and balanced in studying the cults. Don’t

Sorry to be late getting this up. Rich’s laptop, which he uses to do a lot of this stuff, died this morning (motherboard), so we are a little delayed. Yesterday we discussed the great non-event of a former pro-golfer promoting a long-refuted book attacking the deity of Christ, then we took a number of calls on a wide variety of

Talked a bit about upcoming debate possibilities, including my getting in contact with Dr. Michael Brown, and the possibility of having him on the DL, and my being on his program as well. Played a caller objecting to Reformed theology from Dr. Brown’s radio program, then took calls.

I know it only took me five months, but we finally finished up Norman Geisler’s “Why I’m Not a Five Point Calvinist” sermon, and took a couple of calls as well. I took a few minutes to report on the last few days of my trip to New York as well. Our pre-feed music came from none other than Mylo

Started off with a song from our KJV Only friends, via the Amazing Grace Baptist Church KJV, called “Bogus Bible Blues.” What a way to start! Then gave a brief report on Saturday’s encounter with Imam Sayeed, and then dove back into the Geisler sermon, taking one call on God “changing his mind” at the end of the program. More

Last Tuesday afternoon I had a Twitter “convo” with Wes from Atlanta. He started off saying he was listening to my presentation on Molinism and that he was amazed at my lack of “intellectual fortitude.” He went on to say that I “misrepresent and slander” anyone who does not ride my particular “hobby horse,” and he mentioned Caner, Craig, and

Started with 12 minutes of review of two packages I had just gotten in the mail, and if you don’t have a sense of humor, skip past that. 🙂 Spent the rest of the hour reviewing the next portion of Norman Geisler’s “Why I’m Not a Five Point Calvinist” sermon. Twice I stopped to comment on why A&O will always
