Today’s DL will air at the normal Thursday time, that is, 4pm MST, 6pm EST, 3pm PST, and at 4:23:15 in Fargo. I will be playing a clip from Anthony Buzzard where he provides his listeners with a “simple and effective” means of demonstrating that Jesus was not divine. Will you be prepared to point out his rather simple error?

A bit of an odd DL today. I needed to use the first ten minutes or so to respond to some questions I had received about some comments I made on Isaiah 44:24 here. A JW apologist cited my comments, so I needed to provide a response.     After that I very quickly read the 14th chapter of Catholic Answers’

Today on the DL I launched into Bart Ehrman’s statement that if the Bible had truly been inspired, there would be no textual variants in manuscripts. Then we handled a few questions on…various subjects, then listened to a little John Shelby Spong. Here’s the program.     By the way, who is this guy at the end of this promo clip?

Sorry, we were unable to connect to the Real Audio server today. Don’t know if the server is down, or if our utterly unreliable ISP is to blame (yes, we are changing ISPs when we move the office), but I was not in the frame of mind, after losing a good bit of sleep after surprising and scaring away a

Today I replied to a series of e-mails sent to me regarding the response to Ehrman, took two calls, one on presuppositional apologetics, and then spent a little time on Deedat and John 20:28. Here’s the program.

Sorry I had all my times messed upon on the program today. Not sure how I managed that (though I have a theory as to how Adobe Audition might have thrown me a curve), but in any case, we continued responding to Ehrman on textual critical issues, looking this time at the very, very minor variant found in a very

Started off reading parts of this article, commented on the King of the Blogosphere, centuri0n, giving me a Wooden Nickel Award for being the Meanest Calvinist on the Net, then continued working on the Ehrman NPR materials and more of Ahmed Deedat, this time from his debate with Shorrosh. One call included questions on dichotomy vs. trichotomy and who should

Continued both the Ehrman and Deedat responses and took a phone call on whether we should write letters to the editor in response to false teachings appearing in publications. Here’s the program.

Had great pre-show music from Mylo Hatzenbuhler (really, I’m serious!) at www.farmboymusic.com (Mylo’s less flamboyant personality is a regular in our chat channel). Then we continued listening to Ehrman’s NPR interview, covering 1 Cor. 14:34 and the variant there, and then we began listening to a debate from years ago by Muslim apologist Ahmed Deedat. Here’s the program.

This morning’s regular edition of The Dividing Line should, Lord willing, make its appearance tomorrow, same time. It is physically impossible for only one person to do the program and run the electronics that are located in a different location, so, we will do our best to continue with our Ehrman response, possibly throw in some Ahmed Deedat material, etc.,

We made both our big announcements today, filling folks in on the upcoming debate with Shabir Ally in May at Biola (date and specific thesis under discussion at the moment) and then spending a good bit of time laying out the November conference, cruise, and debate (see the information in the right hand column). Then we finally got around to

I’m sorry I haven’t gotten to commenting on our memory verses…it’s a busy week for most of us, of course, and even more so for me. In any case, I just got more big news to announce on the DL tonight! 2006 is going to be simply incredible for Alpha and Omega Ministries. While I’m truly excited, I also realize

Didn’t make the announcement, and sort of explained why; commented on the beginning of gay marriage in the UK and the striking down of the teaching of Intelligent Design in the US (complex design is random—didn’t you know that? It’s a dogma of all fundamentalist secularists, who happen to be in charge in the judiciary and the educational system, which

No, the big news hasn’t changed—but due to various circumstances, including a medical one, a little extra time is needed to make sure all our ducks are in a row, so to speak, so I am reluctantly moving the announcement to the DL Thursday evening. My apologies but I assure you, it’s worth the wait! We don’t want to announce

Spent the entire program Thursday responding to one of Bart Ehrman’s recent interviews on National Public Radio. Ehrman’s most recent book, Misquoting Jesus, is making the rounds amongst the enemies of the faith, and in this particular interview, he speaks much of his past as an evangelical, giving us some insights into how one goes from MBI graduate/strong evangelical to

Hi-energy program today, I guess because I’m excited to be home for the next two months. Had a great time the past two weekends in St. Louis and Tampa, and wouldn’t trade that for anything, but I’m a home-body, and to be able to settle into a routine for eight full weeks is glorious! Think of all the miles I’ll

Today I discussed the recent explosion of anti-Calvinism on the part of various Lutherans like Paul McCain and Josh S., and gave them the opportunity to defend their bravado behind a keyboard. They declined, of course. One Lutheran did call, Charlie, and we had a nice conversation. He had, prior to his call, said some very harsh things about me

Well, despite corresponding with Nadir Ahmed and letting him know that he would be treated fairly as a caller on the program, evidently, unless we arrange a full debate with him, he won’t call in. Oh well, we tried. We had a nice Muslim come into channel a few hours before the program, with whom we had a good conversation.
