James White, June 12, 2025, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Transinsanity

Decided I needed a break from the battle so as to remember the foundational stuff—we can get back to the rest next week, Lord willing. Looked at a few Psalms and just considered what is eternal and important–and will be important next week, next month, and 100 years from now–rather than what grabs our attention and often steals our joy

Overseers and the Flock in the Digital Age, then, Calvin on the Knowledge of God and Man

James White, June 3, 2025, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a little more than the first half of the program on Acts 20 and Paul’s words to the Ephesian elders asking if it is really so shocking that elders today need to be concerned about what is coming into the fellowship through social media sources. Then, we started reading some of Calvin’s finest work in the opening of the

Diving into Church History on the Papacy (and Some Other Stuff)

James White, May 27, 2025, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did an hour today prior to joining Eli Ayala to discuss sola scriptura and dove into some church history, the bishop of Rome, the development hypothesis, and other stuff; likewise, briefly looked at the assertion that “sacralism saved the church,” another astonishing claim as well.

Trinity and Transgenderism, The Classical Ponderer, and My Thoughts on the G3 Situation

James White, May 13, 2025, Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Covered a few bookmarks in X I had saved, including an Episcopalian “priestess” who is confused on the Trinity and transgenderism, then an X account called The Classical Ponderer who ripped into me as a coward and a vulture. Then finished with some thoughts on yesterday’s announcement of the cancellation of the G3 Conference in Atlanta and the attendant issues.

Condolences, Leo XIV, Debating Wolfe, Webbon on Excommunications

James White, May 8, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Started off offering Christian condolences to @SavagelyAverage and @KenFiveSolas on social media, both of whom lost their wives suddenly. Talked a bit about grieving. Then moved on to the new Pope, Leo XIV, and about how an earlier Leo, the Xth, was important in the Reformation. Then we looked at some comments from Stephen Wolfe, and Joel Webbon (on very

HB25-1312 in Colorado, Debating Wolfe, Purgatory, Marian Dogmas

James White, May 1, 2025, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

Played J. Chase Davis’ testimony before the Colorado State Senate on the program today regarding the tyrannical and ethically insane HB25-1312 legislation pending up there. May God protect Colorado from this evil! Then I talked about everyone saying I am supposed to be debating Stephen Wolfe, and what we would debate about anyway, then we talked a bit about purgatory,

The Coming Conclave, then How Cults Get Members (Upcoming Debate)

James White, April 29, 2025, Debate, General Apologetics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Personal, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Uncategorized

Talked about the upcoming Papal conclave (5/7) and the legacy of Francis’s papacy in regards to Rome’s claims of ultimate authority. Then we moved into a discussion of the upcoming debate with Corey Mahler on May 15th, “Is the Holy Spirit Able to Sanctify Black Believers as Well as White Believers?”

ReformCon Road Trip DL: Colorado Insanity, Why You Should Not Join the Roman Catholic Church

James White, April 23, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Homosexuality, Mormonism, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

ReformCon starts tomorrow afternoon, so I am in Tucson and we did the program from the Mobile Command Center once again. Talked about the coming demographic disaster and its relationship to worldview issues, then discussed the utter evil of the leftists in Colorado pushing to destroy the family and corrupt children, and finished up going over this article that I

The Death of Pope Francis, and the Provisionist Gospel

James White, April 21, 2025, Church History, Debate, Provisionism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off talking about the passing of Pope Francis, but then connected the topic to the Provisionist denial of the need of the supernatural work of the Spirit of God to bring about spiritual life, showing that in reality, Provisionism has a less biblical anthropology than Rome does.

Trip Report and Debate Review

James White, April 14, 2025, Debate, King James Onlyism, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Transinsanity

On my way home (get home Thursday), currently in Texas, and did a Road Trip DL reporting on the trip, and the encouragement of fine pastors and servants of Christ. Then we did a review of the two debates, commenting on key issues.

Road Trip Dividing Line: Responding to Alex O’Connor

James White, April 9, 2025, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Iglesia Ni Christo, Jehovah's Witnesses, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Unitarianism

Talked a bit about the current trip, but mainly focused upon comments made by Alex O’Connor on a webcast regarding the gospel of John and in particular comments he made about John 12:44 and John 1:1. Hope folks will be helped by the study!

A Nation Divided, My Irrelevancy, the Finished Atonement

James White, March 20, 2025, Church History, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with more evidence of how divided a nation the US is, then moved on to listen to some brief comments from He Who Judges from Afar, and then we moved into some thoughts about the debate with Joe Heschmeyer, specifically on what his point was in emphasizing the time gap between the cross and the Ascension.

Road Trip DL from Jonesboro

James White, February 27, 2025, Church Fathers, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Musings, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Mainly covered the upcoming debates, how to properly encourage someone interested in pursuing apologetics, foundational issues, etc., and then talked a bit about Gavin Ortlund and his videos, and the recent discussion about the canon of Scripture, the Deuterocanonical books, etc. Not sure about when we will be able to do programs next week, to be honest, as I drive

Road Trip DL: Conway; Francis, the Future, then Zeitoun as Evidence

James White, February 24, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Snuck a quick program in today before teaching at the seminary this evening, talking about developments with what seems like the soon passing of Pope Francis, etc. Then we briefly discussed recent conversations concerning Cameron Bertuzzi, a convert to Romanism, and his claim that the supposed appearances of Mary at Zeitoun, Egypt, decades ago provide better evidence for the Christian

That Weird Pointy Hat Procession, then, Stephen Wolfe’s Smarter Worldview

James White, February 4, 2025, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, General Apologetics, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Went for a jumbo edition today in the big studio with the big board! Commented briefly about the Roman Catholic penitential procession video that made the rounds a few days ago, then we looked at Stephen Wolfe’s lengthy tweet about the term “worldview” and how we would be better off abandoning it. Hardly surprising, but I disagreed!

Stone Choir Cult Attacks Plus More

James White, January 27, 2025, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Ken Wilson, Misc, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went a full 90 minutes today starting with Corey Mahler and the Stone Choir Cult’s attack on my last evening, followed up by Mahler’s amazing promotion of Marcion’s gnosticism. I used his false statements about the name Yahweh to go into church history and trace the damage that was done by the loss of the knowledge of Hebrew and how

The Post War Consensus then Gold from the Prophet Jeremiah

James White, January 24, 2025, Christian Worldview, Misc, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

I was said to be part of the “PWC crowd” in a statement this morning by a young social media type guy, so we looked at what the PWC is, a bit about R.R. Reno, stuff like that, then switched over to Jeremiah chapter ten and some great jewels provided in God’s glorious Scriptures.

How Denominations Die, How Movements Crash and Burn

James White, January 22, 2025, Christian Worldview, Misc, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some of the current developments on the world and national stage, then looked at the amazing example of the National Prayer Service yesterday morning in Washington, and the leftist “bishoptrix” at the National Cathedral. How do denominations die? Where do they begin? Then we moved on to how quickly the anon army is abandoning the positions they

Wes Huff on Rogan, Sufficiency of Scripture, Some Calvin Robinson

James White, January 10, 2025, Christian Worldview, Musings, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A number of items on the table today including some words from Mel Gibson about the Pope, a discussion of Wes Huff on Rogan, the sufficiency of Scripture, and some more statements from Calvin Robinson prompting us to again ask Joel Webbon whether he would allow Robinson to commit trashworld to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

End of Year Catch Up on Developments in the “Trashworld” Controversy

James White, December 30, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, Misc, Offense, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Technology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so. Stephen Wolfe chimed in today with a tweet about his viewpoint on issues, so we really had to take some time to consider where this is all going, and what it

A Few Advent Thoughts, Then, Who Has Really Changed?

James White, December 17, 2024, Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with some seasonal thoughts about Incarnation, Crucifixion, the differing emphases between East and West on those topics, etc., and then transitioned into looking at statements being made on line attempting to create a false narrative that simply goes against history.

Mockery is not a Christian Virtue, then, the Carson/Huff Discussion

James White, December 12, 2024, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Personal, Road Trip, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism

Last Road Trip DL for 2024 coming from Holbrook, Arizona this evening. Started off looking at Joel Webbon’s defense both of “anons” and using them to mock people “right off X,” naming Owen Strachan as an example. Then we discussed the encounter between Wes Huff, a Christian scholar and apologist, and Billy Carson, an Internet “influencer” of some kind, and

Return Road Trip DL from the Middle of Nowhere

James White, December 10, 2024, Christian Worldview, Eastern Orthodoxy, Misc, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I am in western Oklahoma, just shy of the Texas panhandle, and I am truly in the middle of nowhere. But, we set up Starlink and got the job done! Pretty much went through a Twitter thread from a fellow named BG Apustaja and replied to his assertions about how I have become “unhinged,” which led to a discussion of

Road Trip DL from St. Charles

James White, December 4, 2024, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Got a program in from windy, and soon to be very cold, St. Charles Missouri, where I will be speaking on God’s response to the LGBTQ revolution this weekend, the 24th year I have spoken at Covenant of Grace Church. Talked a bit about “Reformedville” and happenings therein, eventually transitioning into the glorious truth of the sufficiency of Scripture from

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

James White, November 21, 2024, Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be “usual” for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new “thing” to be all excited about, “The PWC,” the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central

Welby, Lawson, and Christian Unity

James White, November 19, 2024, Christian Worldview, Musings, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, Thomism, Transinsanity

Got an early program in (head out over the weekend again, so, time is short!). Discussed the Archbishop Welby resignation, new developments in the Steve Lawson saga, and then looked at statements from folks who are continuing to battle against a biblical view of Christian unity and of the nature of Christ’s Kingdom. Uncertain about whether we will find a

Trump is not King, Internet Mobs, 4th Grade Playground

James White, November 14, 2024, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with noting a fund raiser for Joshua Haymes’ little boy (kidney transplant) hoping our audience will pull together and help them over the top. Looked at some odd Jimmy Akin comments about Mary and sinfulness, then talked a bit about Trump’s promises and the real, honest mountains he will have to climb to fulfill them, and how unlikely

Road Trip Election Night Dividing Line

James White, November 5, 2024, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Personal, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Don’t worry, really didn’t talk politics. Told some stories from the road, but spent the vast majority of the time working through Psalm 33, all to encourage us to wait upon the lovingkindness of Yahweh. Seemed quite fitting on a night light this, and had over 1000 folks watching! Hope it was encouraging to all who listened in!

Road Trippin’ Again in Texas: Election Stuff, Precious Moments at the Vatican, David Allen, Debate Report, AND the Response to Joel Webbon

James White, October 29, 2024, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Wow, covered a lot today! Rich will have to edit out a technical issue we had, but, we managed to get it all covered anyway. A bit about the election, and the amazing endorsement of Kamala Harris by the Babylon Bee! Hard to argue against their reasons! We talked about the Precious Moments figurines with weird connections to wild viewpoints

Memorizing Scripture and Various Other Topics

James White, October 15, 2024, Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m doing three programs today, one up in Canada, then the DL, and then Marlon Wilson’s show on YouTube. Hope the voice holds out! Talked about memorizing Scripture in my youth, the value of paper Bibles, the value of a Christian home. Then talked a bit about the craziness in our political scene right now, then talked a bit about

Mishnah, Talmud, and the Ugly Rise of Side-B Nazism in 2024

James White, October 10, 2024, Church Fathers, Church History, Islam, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Didn’t pull any punches today, folks. When the Nazis come after you it is time to shoot straight in return. Took on some nasty players today, but had to provide background information on, for example, the origination of the Mishnah, Gemara, and Talmud, etc. Hopefully useful to everyone, and a warning for those trying to “sneak in” to the church
