Jumbo Road Trip Edition on Twitter!

James White, July 19, 2023, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism

So Rich was literally just poking around on Twitter when he stumbled across the “live” set up recently, so today was our first day to live-cast on Twitter. That was what we wanted to do all along, but obviously things are developing at Twitter and so we had to use Facebook (which drove me nuts). But, for as long as

A Jumbo Road Trip DL!

James White, July 17, 2023, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Started off today’s program talking about upcoming debates. Unfortunately, during the program itself, Chris Arnzen got word that Dr. Brownson will not be pursuing the debate on the 16th of September. However, we have another opponent lined up and will be able to give you information on that in a few days. Spent a while responding to portions of a

A New Low of Depravity, Wolfe on Dever, Anthony Bernabei Exposed

James White, July 13, 2023, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Iglesia Ni Christo, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity, Unitarianism

Managed a solid live stream today, thankfully! Started off with an amazing example of “no, we haven’t hit rock bottom quite yet, but man we are digging hard” as far as the evil of man is concerned. Then we looked at Stephen Wolfe’s comments in response to Mark Dever on paedobaptism and a regenerate church membership. Finished up looking at

Pravda in Louisville; 1 Peter 3:15 and Isaiah

James White, July 11, 2023, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

The first 35 minutes or so of today’s program focused on the Miss Universe results in the Netherlands, where a highly unattractive dude beat out some absolutely stunning women, all in the service to the dismantling of the West. Then we looked at pure, unhidden, unapologetic propaganda from an ABC affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky. Then we switched over to an

Dividing Line Short: Follow Up Response to Dale Tuggy

James White, July 8, 2023, CBGM, DL Shorts, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Dale Tuggy responded to yesterday’s DL with some brief comments, and complained that I had not responded to his arguments in his article, so in this short program I provide that response, along with some other relevant comments.

Jude 4-5 and Its Testimony to the Deity of Christ

James White, July 7, 2023, CBGM, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

I did not feel well today, but I pressed on, because I really wanted to share this study of Jude 5, CBGM, the variant in the text, and the biblical tapestry of phraseology and teaching that consistently testifies to the deity of Christ. Please get a deep seat, take some notes, and enjoy!

A Nearly Two Hour Road Trip Dividing Line

James White, July 4, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Thomism, Transinsanity, Unitarianism

Three major portions of today’s almost two hour program: first, reflections on the celebration of July 4th immediately after the Month of Prideful Rebellion. . Then, we review key statements made by Matthew Barrett, Todd Pruitt, and Carl Trueman on the last

Road Trip DL: 1 Cor 8, the Shema, and Ignatius

James White, June 29, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism

Made it through a few thunderstorms during the show today focusing on unitarianism, the Christian Shema in 1 Corinthians 8, and the testimony of Ignatius to not only the deity of Christ, but the two natures of Christ as well.

Road Trip DL from Santa Fe

James White, June 27, 2023, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Had to record the program today due to the location I am at in Santa Fe (possibly due to weather issues as well, not completely sure). Talked about the Australian legislation being proposed to give the state pretty much full control over speech and how we have taken our eyes off the ball as the totalitarians continue their global march.

Bruce Jenner Is Still Here, Then Leighton Flowers and Colossians 2:12

James White, June 22, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off with stories about California and Michigan pressing the woke gender ideology that is a plague upon us all. Then, finally, as promised almost two weeks ago, I got to Leighton Flowers and his “Calvinists cannot answer Colossians 2:12” argument and discovered that in fact it seems it is the Provisionists who have to struggle with that particular text.

The Changing World of Mormonism

James White, June 20, 2023, Mormonism, The Dividing Line

Went in the big studio today to talk about Mormonism and the challenges we face today in seeking to witness of the truth to members of the LDS Church. Did a good bit of reminiscing along the path, since the first books I read and studied from the LDS Church were purchased 41 years ago now. Had them in studio

The Problem with the Pope

James White, June 15, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church History, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Our main discussion today was based upon Pope Francis’ kind letter to Fr. Martin and the LGBTQ folks meeting tomorrow at Fordham University. What does this letter mean, and where is Rome really going today? The alleged “certainty” that flows from the claim of Papal authority is a two-edged sword that really ends up showing us that Rome’s “constancy” is

From Harari to Barber: Trying to Make Sense of the Fast Moving World Around Us

James White, June 13, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Talked about a lot of topics again, from Harari’s “AI can write a true Bible” to an atheist saying Augustine inserted the Trinity at the Council of Nicea to transgender insanity and finishing up with developments at the Southern Baptist Convention.

Solo Flight #2: Christ’s Reign, Derek Webb’s Darkness, Answering Leighton Flowers

James White, June 8, 2023, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Was running solo again today but managed to dive into a number of topics as well as get into the original language texts on topics such as Paul’s use of Psalm 2, 8, 110, and the nature of Christ’s kingdom and reign. We also talked a bit about Derek Webb’s deep dive into spiritual darkness, and finished up looking at

My First Solo Flight on the Dividing Line!

James White, June 6, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I ran everything myself today, so even I am interested in how it turned out! Covered a lot of current events driven topics, which, being June, included a lot of cultural stuff, the sufficiency of Scripture, legal cases, the SBC, that kind of stuff. Touched lightly on eschatology, law, etc. Just over an hour in length.

Thinking Through the Ugandan Controversy

James White, June 1, 2023, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

It is very sad that the the Church does not speak with a unified voice in the modern world. Yet it remains our duty to think through, as Christians, the key issues we are facing in this world gone insane with its destructive rebellion. Today we looked at the comparison of a progressivist, “liberal” view on homosexuality with the comments

What are We Conserving? What are we Debating?

James White, May 30, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Started off with some thoughts on Ted Cruz’s tweet about Uganda and Charlie Kirk’s comments about conservatism. What are we supposed to be conserving if such basic, foundational truths as family and marriage are negotiable? Then we looked at an article Catholic Answers published last year in response to the “White Question” and then finished up talking about debates (as

Helping Joe Rogan Know the Truth

James White, May 25, 2023, Atheism, Church History, Debate, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

Some folks were kind enough to link me to examples of Joe Rogan repeat common mythology about how the Bible was collected, the canon, Constantine, etc., so I took the time today to deal with those issues, as well as respond to a number of claims made in one clip as Rogan interviewed Lawrence Krauss, a well known atheist and

A Few Reflections on Forty Years, John Pavlovitz and the Sin of Homophobia

James White, May 23, 2023, The Dividing Line

I was Chris Arnzen’s guest on Iron Sharpens Iron today, and then 15 minutes later we did the Dividing Line. I am in Tucumcari, New Mexico, making my way home in the mobile command center, truly enjoying our new studio, Starlink web access, etc. Despite some pretty strong thunderstorms we maintained connection and discussed forty years of ministry in the

Road Trip Dividing Line: It Wasn’t Broke, We Fixed It Anyway

James White, May 18, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Homosexuality, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Ok, so its a bit herky jerky at the start but it clears up after about 20 minutes. – Rich So I was a bit worried when Rich said he was going to do something different–and this time I was right. The first part of the program is, well, sadly, not overly useful. I talked with Pastor Derrick Melton about

A Starlink Dividing Line!

James White, May 16, 2023, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Technology, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

I cannot tell you how excited I am! I had always hoped Starlink would be a way for us to do what we need to do as far as Internet access while traveling, but we had real latency problems with it. Well, we decided to just try today and see what happened…and it not only worked perfectly for an hour

The Real Issues With Rome

James White, May 13, 2023, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

I very much appreciated the conversation between George Farmer and Allie Beth Stuckey on the issues between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. I listened to the conversation and wish to offer some thoughts from someone who has spent decades on this topic.

Road Trip DL: Report on Progress, Apologia Weighs In, Thoughts on Daniel 7, Mohler on Theonomy

James White, May 12, 2023, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Halfway through my May trip, currently in Memphis, headed up toward Nashville before doubling back to Pryor, Oklahoma. Gave a bit of a report on my time at GBTS in Conway, then got into Apologia Radio’s response to G3, then moved on to consider how Daniel 7 relates to other key passages, and finished up reviewing Albert Mohler’s article on

More Attempts at Sneaking Man’s Autonomy into Scripture

James White, May 10, 2023, Pauline Studies, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Thomism

After a brief review of a further comment by Stephen Wolfe (that I missed on the last show), we went back to Ephesians 1 after listening to a monologue by Leighton Flowers seeking to establish synergism by…assuming it! Brought Accordance in once again and dove into the text. Had one little interruption (the kind lady who runs the RV park,

Road Trip Dividing Line From Conway, Arkansas

James White, May 9, 2023, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I am at GBTS in Conway and we managed (despite some challenges!) to get a full DL in today! Caught up with a lot that has happened over the past week or so on a number of topics. Hope the discussion is useful and helpful in the midst of all the fog being produced today. We will go for another

And We Have Lift Off!

James White, May 3, 2023, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line

Without any unscheduled sudden disassembly, either! Our first Road Trip Dividing Line in our new Mobile Command Studio was a success! Sure, we have some tweaking to do (Rich discovered the microphone presets did not save, for example), but we are just ecstatic that sitting here in our 35 foot Jayco Fifth Wheel RV in Kerrville, Texas, we were able

Upcoming Trip, Then Story Time with Grampa Jimmy

James White, April 28, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eschatology, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Transinsanity

Talked a bit about the upcoming trip, new new rig and studio, and the fact that HOPEFULLY next Tuesday we will do a live DL from the rig in the new studio AND at the same time auction off a gorgeous Jeffrey Rice LSB rebind (I am told on Twitter it is a “LSB 2 Column in Steel Grey Badalassi

The Conflagration That is the Christian Nationalism Debate

James White, April 25, 2023, The Dividing Line

The net has been an inferno of late with everyone choosing sides, circling wagons, loading guns, and opening fire, all, it seems to me, to no avail. I basically spent today exhorting folks to step back, think, breathe, maybe even think about relaxing a bit and listening to viewpoints other than your own. I am sure that advice will be

A Dividing Line I Cannot Summarize!

James White, April 20, 2023, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Eschatology, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

We have a guy at Apologia who posts hilarious out-of-context quotes from the sermon on our member’s page. I need someone like that to listen to every Dividing Line and come up with a brief, yet usable, title, because with programs like today, I just have no idea. We covered the Washington State law that would allow the state to

Christian Nationalism, Sacralism, and Christian Maturity

James White, April 18, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eschatology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Tackled the ever so easy, light issues of “White evangelicals,” Christian Nationalism, sacralism, and the recent dust-ups that had Reformed men posting clown-shoe memes about other Reformed men (all causing the angels in heaven to weep, me thinks). Had to do some eschatology and a lot more, but the fact is, it is indeed Christ or chaos, we must witness

Secularism’s Insanity, then Credo’s Promotion of Scholasticism

James White, April 13, 2023, Christian Worldview, Church History, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Thomism

Tale of two programs today as for the first half hour we considered the daily onslaught of secularism’s acidic destruction of Western society and life itself, and then switched gears to consider the newest edition of Credo Magazine and its full-throated promotion of, and defense of, “Reformed Scholasticism.”
