   Our Real Audio server is MIA and we can’t get hold of the powers-that-be to track it down, so we were unable to have the program today. Our apologies. As I travel tomorrow, we can’t just move it back a day, either, so, it will be next Tuesday before we try to make another excursion into broadcast excell…err, do the

Finished off the Modene sermon and then took two calls, one from Jerry Johnson of the Apologetics Group. I started off the program reading from R.C.’s own writings on the nature of the new birth, and then played Modene saying R.C. does not preach on the new birth. A telling contrast. Also, most of my readers will want to read

I spent the first fifty minutes of the program today reviewing Jon Modene’s amazing “sermon” against R.C. Sproul, and then took a call on KJV Onlyism teacher Sam Gipp and the KJV’s translation of “Easter” in Acts 12.

Today on the Dividing Line I started out responding to an article by Malcolm Lavender on Acts 13:48. Then we took two excellent phone calls, the second of which was particularly useful as it focused upon Biblical authority in response to Roman Catholic claims. Should be useful to a wide variety of folks.    Also, when talking to someone in channel

Continued the Lynn/Spong discussion, then went back to looking at Ahmed Deedat’s attacks on the Bible, and then tried to take a call that didn’t work out too well due to a less than spectacular phone on the other end of the line. Then briefly mentioned the statement on the upcoming Liberty debate.

Remember that poem, Alexander’s No Good Very Bad Day? I memorized it when I was a kid. Well, today was Rich’s No Good, Very Bad Day behind the control board. We had fun. Oh well, we aren’t pretentious enough to worry about not getting the break started, or having the end of the program go late because the computer’s clock

   I did as I predicted and reviewed the interview of John Shelby Spong by Barry Lynn, and then took a useful call on a new Watchtower publication’s comments on Matthew 24:36. Here is the program.

   Very nice to have the full crew on hand (that amounts to two folks) for the Dividing Line today, and we spent the entire time on phone calls. Discussed sola scriptura and some of my past debates with Patrick Madrid and Gerry Matatics, then discussed a little bit about hyper-preterism and Luke 21, and finally closed with a call on

   Second solo run and amazingly enough, I got through it again! Played a clip from Dave Hunt demonstrating that once again he simply refuses to either “hear” or is so controlled by his traditions that he cannot hear. In either case, he is far from being able to speak the truth on the matter of Calvinism. Then we continued with

   As shocked as some of you might be, not only did I manage to get through today’s Dividing Line (yes, I know, the server crashed ten minutes before the end—nothing I could do about that), but I have managed to properly convert files, connect to proper servers, upload the right files, rename the right urls, etc., and here is today’s

   I managed to figure out where I left off in reviewing Paige Patterson’s presentation at the SBC, so we picked up right there today on the DL. For some odd reason got no calls, took no break, but pressed on for the whole hour on that one subject. And guess what? Paige Patterson mis-quoted a particular verse. Yes, that verse,

   Yesterday on the DL I reviewed the first portion of Paige Patterson’s comments in the Patterson/Mohler discussion at the SBC, once again noting, with not a little bit of thankfulness, the lack of rancor in the discussion and the fact that Patterson, though still giving what I would consider surface level answers to important issues, is on a completely different

   Wide ranging DL today. Started off with a clip from Bishop Spong on the nature of the “church” being in “exile” which provides an excellent insight into his deeply secular worldview. Then I moved into explaining why we need your support not in Lynchburg but in Orlando in reference to the Caner saga. Mike O’Fallon mentioned in channel that we

   OK, you know how you come into your place of business in the morning with an idea of what you are going to try to get done? And know the feeling at the end of the day when you realize that though you have hardly taken the time to take a deep breath you didn’t get anything at all done

   Well, definitely an interesting program today. Started out with Karl Keating’s e-letter and some stuff about comments on Jimmy Akin’s blog. Then we talked about the PCUSA moving to adopt new terminology for the Trinity, like “Mother, Child, and Womb.” I’m not making this up. Then I looked at Greg Boyd’s attempt to get around John 9. Then, in response

   Due to summer time scheduling issues, tomorrow’s Dividing Line will again have to be at the normal Thursday time of 4pm MST/PDT, 7pm EDT. This would be a great time for all those folks on Jimmy Akin’s blog, who seem to know so much about me, like “Shane,” to give me a ring so we can talk about stuff. It

   And when I say Jimmy Akin, I mean it. He called the program (right at the end…we went long to give him enough time). The first 40 minutes or so included clips from sermons at the Southern Baptist Convention and a discussion of the dogged unwillingness of many to address the important issues with any sense of seriousness; then we

We will be doing the DL live today at the normal Thursday time, 7pm EDT, due to scheduling conflicts. See you then!

   Started off with a quick discussion of the use of Messianic prophecies by Islamic apologists, including connecting Isaiah 9:6 to Mohammed (except, they have to sort of skip a few portions of the text). Then a call on witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses took the rest of the hour, providing a great opportunity for “practical evangelism” training on the topic. Here’s
