Well, Theology Matters

Rich Pierce, September 19, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

James started off today commenting on the sudden death of a young woman, a mother of seven, from Apologia church. He asks for prayer for not only Apologia but specifically for the family. Then he plays a clip from a recent Reasonable Faith podcast regarding Molinism. Finally the fuller portion of Russell Moore’s interview with Andy Stanley where Andy reads

And They Just Keep Getting Longer….

James White, September 6, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off discussing the David Gushee article from a few weeks ago and his very truthful analysis that there is no middle ground on the issue of God’s law for the believing Christian. Too bad Dr. Gushee has chosen to be on the wrong side of that divide! Then we watched an entire section of a video from Israel United

Get Ready: Two and a Half Hour Long Dividing Line

James White, September 1, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

There were three major topics on the DL today (after the opening discussion of some urgent situations where the people of God need to bring certain issues before the throne of grace): first, an article published today on Revelation 16:5 and the Textus Receptus; then, a rather lengthy review of Andy Stanley’s sermon from Sunday on the Bible and Christianity.

Ignatius and Church History, Andy Stanley, Ravi Zacharias, Epistemology, 1 Corinthians 1:18ff

James White, August 30, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went just over 90 minutes today on the program, wandering about a bit at the start on church history issues and Ignatius, and then moving on to discuss the Andy Stanley comments in the interview with Russell Moore, finishing off with a half hour plus walk-through of 1 Corinthians 1:18ff. Theology matters! Here is the YouTube link:

Dr. Licona on Mark’s Confusion, Dr. Kirk’s Apostasy, and Nearly an Hour on Abolish Human Abortion

James White, August 25, 2016, Abortion, Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A really long program today, my apologies! Went over the “Mega” limit (2 hours). Started off with a further analysis of Dr. Licona’s perspective on Mark’s “confusion” about the location of the feeding of the five thousand. Then we looked at a new book that just came out from J.R. Daniel Kirk presenting Jesus was the “idealized human” figure in

“The Romans 9 Debate:” My Reviews In One Place

Rich Pierce, August 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I have had a number of questions lately about this debate and have found a need to put my review series in one place. So here they are. By the way. Dr. Flowers has voiced great objections to my pointing out his behavior and methods in these reviews. Keep in mind, this was a review of the debate on the

Marcus Rodgers Video Reviewed, Jacob Prasch Attacks Again, ISIS Attacks the Cross

James White, August 9, 2016, Exegesis, Islam, Oneness Pentecostalism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a review of Marcus Rodgers’ video that mentioned me on the doctrine of the Trinity. Then I was going to play portions of Jacob Prasch’s recent video, but ended up summarizing the issues for the sake of time. Then quickly noted the ISIS attack upon the cross in their magazine titled Dabiq. Here is the YouTube link:

Wood, Qureshi, Dunn

James White, August 2, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Islam, Misc, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off announcing tomorrow’s show with Jeff Durbin, and playing a few clips reminding folks that yes, in fact, the “meme” over the past few weeks has in fact been, “Hey, those Apologia guys held a beer and tattoo fund raiser, and that’s foolishness.” Then I moved over to the David Wood response to Seth Dunn regarding Nabeel Qureshi. I

A Jumbo Mega Dividing Line—If That Makes Sense

James White, July 26, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Three sections to today’s 2 hour, 20 minute long program: first, we responded to Jacob Prasch’s reply to last weeks Radio Free Geneva. But unlike Prasch, we played his comments not just once, but twice, carefully analyzing his entire response as a classic example of a complete abandonment of proper forms of argumentation and logic. Very helpful for those who

The Atonement: Defined by Revelation, or Philosophy?

James White, July 11, 2016, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did a Skype based DL today looking at some comments William Lane Craig made about the atonement, and comparing and contrasting these with Hebrews 7:22-25. A good deal of discussion of how we derive our theology and why it is important. Don’t forget that on Thursday at 6pm EDT Vocab Malone will be guest hosting and doing an interview

Three Old Titles Become New Again on Kindle – Updated

Rich Pierce, July 11, 2016, Roman Catholicism, Theology Matters

Every now and then I get a phone call from someone wanting to find one of James’ first three books in our bookstore. These titles have been out of print since Crowne Publications closed its doors around 1993. While the technology of our world has raced forward I am not always able to keep up with it’s advances. I can

Ignatius in His Own Words; Problematic EFS Quotes; Doubling Down on False Judging from Afar

James White, July 7, 2016, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a Skype-based Dividing Line from Colorado today, spending quite some time on Ignatius in response to claims by some Muslim apologists about his views. Then discussed some quotes from Bruce Ware on “eternal functional subordinationism” and the entire conflict. Finished up addressing He Who Judges From Afar doubling down on his position. And lots of other stuff thrown in

The March of the Totalitarians, BHI Craziness, Judging From Afar Rebuked

James White, July 4, 2016, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Quickly mentioned some of the evidence of the rise of totalitarianism in the United States, then made note of some of the wild videos showing a huge response to our addressing Hebrew Israelism, and finished up with a rather passionate response to JD Hall and Christian News and the attack upon Apologia Church. Here is the YouTube link:

Dialogue with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on Hebrew Israelism

James White, June 22, 2016, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, this program won’t be interesting for everyone, but for those who are interested in a dialogue on key issues with a representative of Hebrew Israelism—should fit the bill! A little over an hour with Elder Rawchaa Shayar on the deity of Christ, the Bible, Babylon—lots and lots of things. Best to be sitting down for this one! Here is

KJVO Discussion, the Pope Escapes His Handlers Again, Debate Tomorrow, the Trinitarian Controversy

James White, June 21, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, King James Onlyism, Mormonism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a WIDE range of topics today. Started off expressing our deep condolences to Tony Bartolucci and his family in the death of his daughter Giana. Then we discussed the debate we will be doing tomorrow at 4pm with representatives of the Hebrew Israelite movement. Moved from there to a discussion of Jeremiah 34:16 and Romans 13:9 and King James

Consistency and Fairness Once Again; Then More on the Comma and Textual Criticism

James White, June 16, 2016, General Apologetics, Islam, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Managed to sneak in a third Dividing Line this week (since I have no idea what the next few weeks will bring, for, uh, medical reasons). Yup, talked a bit more about fairness, consistency, etc., and then moved on to a bit more on textual criticism, traditionalism, and the Comma Johanneum. I don’t know when the next DL will be, but,

More on Simple Truthfulness and Consistency, Steve Hays Melts Down, Quick Review of Oneness Advocate Steve Ritchie

James White, June 15, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Mormonism, Oneness Pentecostalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Went over some developments in the Orlando situation and once again had to address the insanity of asserting that there is only one monolithic Islam and that everything done in the world by anyone who yells “Allahu Akbar!” is to be held to the account of every single Muslim on the planet. Then we noted the melt-down of Steve Hays

Responding to Orlando

James White, June 13, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Many thoughts, many considerations, hopefully helpful, hopefully challenging, maybe controversial. Offered for your consideration. Here is the YouTube link:

An Arminian Loses Psalm 33:10-11, SES and Rome, the Comma Johanneum Once Again

James White, June 10, 2016, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, King James Onlyism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off reviewing this article about Psalm 33 and noting that the Arminian author sort of skipped over the actual text that I was referring to. Then we took some time to read some quotes from Evangelical Exodus and discuss the fact that synergistic Thomism is a pretty fertile field out of which to grow Romanists. And then we finished up

William Lane Craig, the Lowered Bar, Molinism, and Erasmus

James White, June 7, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Examined the William Lane Craig clip that started circulating a few days ago about inerrancy and evangelism and apologetics, once again focusing upon the fundamental distinctions that arise when one is Reformed and when one is not in the area of apologetics. Then turned our attention to Erasmus and conjectural emendation, finishing up with a discussion of inerrancy and the

A Brief Response to Dr. Michael Brown: Why I Am a Calvinist

James White, May 21, 2016, Reformed Apologetics, Theology Matters

Submitted Scholarship

James White, April 19, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I had never heard anyone use the phrase before, to be honest. But I had to think of some way to describe scholarship that, at its core, its foundation, is distinctly Christian. Specifically, how to describe Christian scholarship that, as an open presupposition and confession submits itself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas, including all areas of

Radio Free Geneva: Leighton Flowers, Brian Abasciano and Biblical Exegesis (and Plain Fairness)

James White, April 15, 2016, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

About an 80 minute version of the show today responding to the webcast put out by Leighton Flowers, Soteriology 101, on March 29, 2016, where he interviewed Brian Abasciano concerning my statements about 1 John 5:1. Unfortunately, neither Flowers nor Abasciano did their homework and replied only to the very end of my comments, ignoring 40 minutes of presentation, and

Did Paul ever meet Jesus and hear him teach? Yes, it is likely

Dr. Alan Kurschner, April 12, 2016, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Theology Matters

David Yoon introducing a new book by noted New Testament scholar Stanley E. Porter, writes: “Our most prolific author, Stanley Porter, has another book published called When Paul Met Jesus: How an Idea Got Lost in History (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2016). Porter revives a theory set forth earlier by William Ramsay, Johannes Weiss, and James Hope Moulton, that Paul

Twitter Questions, The Boss, The Pope, and More Ethnic Gnosticism

James White, April 12, 2016, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off today with a couple of Twitter questions (including one on Eastern Orthodoxy), then covered Springsteen’s view of transgender warriors as “freedom fighters,” the Pope’s “studied ambiguity” in his new statement, and toward the end of the hour I responded to BlackCalvinist’s piece accusing me of…well, all sorts of things, actually. Here is the YouTube link:

Colossians 1 and Reconciliation

James White, March 31, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Looked at Colossians 1:15-23 today and asked “what is reconciliation” and, toward the end of the hour, what of this mantra of “racial reconciliation”? What does this mean? Here is the YouTube link:

Gospel Lenses and the Search for Allies (Updated with Full Response)

James White, March 30, 2016, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Theology Matters

Please see the addition of a full response to Ekemini Uwan added at the end of this post. Last week I ran afoul of the ever-present issue of political correctness when I posted a brief video of a young man flipping off a passing police car, wearing his shorts around his thighs (his underwear was red as well, so it

Ethnic Gnosticism and the Gospel

James White, March 22, 2016, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

So I had my opportunity to respond to the firestorm of criticism that erupted over the weekend regarding a 545 word, 2 paragraph item I posted on FaceBook last Friday. In this Dividing Line I address the issue of fatherlessness, Planned Parenthood’s genocide of blacks, the sin of rebellion and disrespect for God-ordained authority, and, most importantly, the fact that

Radio Free Geneva: Showbread’s “Dear John Piper” and Leighton Flowers on 1 John 5:1

James White, March 17, 2016, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Decided we needed to do a Radio Free Geneva today, and it turned out as a jumbo edition at that! Started off with Showbread’s “Dear John Piper” song, going through the lyrics and identifying the sources that led to this vicious construction of a burning straw man. Then I played a song by Shane and Shane that I had only

Theology, Apologetics, Inerrancy, and a Brief Statement from the Pope

James White, March 3, 2016, Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first 45 minutes on an interview Dr. Michael Licona did recently, discussing the centrality of theology to apologetic methodology. Then briefly discussed a recent statement by the Pope. Here is the YouTube link:

South Africa Update and Responding to Marcus Rogers on the Trinity

James White, February 25, 2016, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Oneness Pentecostalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a guest, Rudolph Bushoff, from South Africa, talking about our May journey to South Africa (and we still need your help to get there!), and then tackled the Marcus Rogers video denying the Trinity. Went just a little long, but hope it will be helpful to folks. Here is the YouTube link:
