Simplicity, Molinism, and More

James White, December 14, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Molinism, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with the great video that came out today, “The Essence of James White,” a wonderfully done little lark from the joke Justin Brierley made during the William Lane Craig discussion. Then we went with all that stuff that you can’t talk about on YouTube, if you know what I mean: you know, the failed vaccines and the Omicron

When Reformed Becomes Deformed, the Fatal Flaw of Molinism Pressed

James White, November 30, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Two topics on the program today. Started off with a discussion of Kristin Kobes du Mez, a professor of history (yay!) and gender studies (seriously?) at Calvin University, that once bastion of Reformed thought that has moved from Reformed to Deformed in just a matter of decades. She wrote the Jesus and John Wayne book, if you are wondering. Then

Post Discussion/Debate Review

James White, November 29, 2021, Molinism, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a quick (45 minute) episode today to do a post discussion/debate review of my encounter with William Lane Craig on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable program that we recorded just today (in fact, the DL aired less than 30 minutes after we concluded). I explained why I had not publicly discussed the upcoming encounter, went over some of the key issues

UPDATE! Live Not By Lies Episode 20,000, then the Key to Middle Knowledge

James White, November 23, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Molinism, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

UPDATE! Well, the censors at YouTube finally caught up with us and deleted this program. A few months ago we mirrored all our content to odysee.com, and you can find the link below for that mirrored episode. Now, assuming YouTube does not care about a discussion of “the truth value of subjunctive conditionals that constitute the essence of Middle Knowledge,”

Trinitarian Freedom

James White, November 18, 2021, Personal, Theology Matters

When I wrote The Forgotten Trinity in the late 1990s I sought primarily to prepare believers to love the doctrine Biblically, and to be able to communicate it to those outside the faith. I was blissfully unaware of coming controversies that would impose new standards of language and terminology, and thankfully so. I fear trying to fit into all the

James Lindsay on John 1:1, then Calls

James White, November 18, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent the first twenty minutes responding to the excitement on Twitter yesterday when James Lindsay made reference to John 1:1. Then we took calls on baptism, whether it is James or Jacob in the New Testament, the vaccine mandates and the military, and church membership when you are Reformed and your church isn’t. The Dividing Line 11/18/2021 James Lindsay on

Review of Today’s Totalitarian Nonsense, the Importance of History, Psalm 110, Psalm 12 and KJVOism

James White, November 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Quite a range today! Lots of stuff about leaky vaccines, mandates, and the New Austrian Gestapo strolling through the streets of Austria saying, “Your papers, please!” It’s like no one reads books anymore. Then we looked at the contrast between the Chinese changing history and Isaiah telling us history is meaningful because God is its author. Then we dove into

It’s Just a Coincidence Illustrated, Back to Middle Knowledge with WLC

James White, November 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a few minutes about the facts regarding the Kamala Cookies (forced vaccine mandates) and the reality that billions of dollars will buy you tons of lies. Then we moved back into reading and interacting with Dr. William Lane Craig’s presentation of middle knowledge and Molinism in his book, The Only Wise God. The Dividing Line 11/11/2021 It's

A New Open Phones Format Show!

James White, November 9, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Islam, King James Onlyism, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, let me tell you, Rich is one happy camper. He got the bright idea today, really only a few hours before we started, to use Zoom to allow folks to call in to the program today. And…it worked. So I started off with about 20 minutes or so in response to a King James Only advocate giving a completely

Get A Deep Seat in the Saddle, Ma!

James White, November 4, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Debate, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

OK, we covered the waterfront again today! Let’s see, started off with a response to some immature bullying on Twitter, and then moved on to this important and dangerous study regarding vaccines and the spike protein and the long-term degradation of the health and immunity that can result from that spoke protein. Then we moved into a completely different area,

A Sad Twitter Thread, an Hour on the Knowledge and Decree of God

James White, November 2, 2021, Christian Worldview, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a few minutes on another example of how fear and panic has molded the minds of people in the West since the beginning of 2020, and then transitioned into some more in-depth discussion about God’s decree and His knowledge. This then allowed us to talk about the concept of “middle knowledge” and its role in the Counter-Reformation,

The Decree of God: Foundation, Vindication

James White, October 26, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

An intense teaching program today looking at Psalm 2, Job 23, and Ephesians 1, before looking at comments made by Dr. William Lane Craig in his book, The Only Wise God. Almost 80 minutes in length.

Radio Free Geneva

James White, October 19, 2021, Church History, Debate, Radio Free Geneva, Textual Issues, Theology Matters

Today we started responding to Leighton Flowers’ attempt to respond to our basic discussion of one simple truth and reality: the Provisionist view of man’s will and God’s grace is completely in line with the Roman Catholic view at the time of the Reformation; that is, Flowers stands firmly with Erasmus against Luther on this topic. This is all about

Clearing the Table Before Tomorrow’s Radio Free Geneva

James White, October 18, 2021, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Since we are doing a major length Radio Free Geneva tomorrow, I needed to “clear the table” of the topics that have been piling up in my topics list. So we really covered the gamut, starting off with my thanks for having shared a great time with Skillet as they visited Phoenix last Friday. WE discussed the veneration of vaccines,

Being Reformed, Provisionism in Rome, Aquinas in Geneva

James White, October 12, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a range of items today but mainly looked at comments from the Provisionists on the nature of grace, and then looked at a defense of the new “Reformed Thomism” as well. Went nearly 80 minutes.

Road Tripping in El Paso

James White, October 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, King James Onlyism, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m sort of in El Paso (but not quite), with one more stop tomorrow night before I get home. I was going to hoof it straight from here, as it is surely do-able, but the long, long hours are piling up after more than two weeks, so safety suggested stopping at an RV park I know halfway home tomorrow. Anyway,

Road Trip #2 Live from Conway, Arkansas

James White, September 27, 2021, Misc, Musings, Personal, Provisionism, Road Trip, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The second evening of the mini Conference on the solas is just 90 minutes away so we snuck a quick program from the AO Mobile Command in talking about the trip, what’s coming up at G3 and elsewhere, and responding to Soteriology 101’s paid advertising campaign looking to get “converts from Calvinism.” I wandered all over the landscape, to be

Radio Free Geneva (90 Minutes), Further Topics

James White, September 21, 2021, Abortion, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Stumbled on a Soteriology 101 video asking if I am “right” about Matthew 23:37, so we dealt pretty fully with that new presentation for the first ninety minutes, then touched upon some other topics including Bart Barber’s amazing defense of Ed Litton. Mega edition, two full hours! I head out on Road Trip #2, heading for G3, so programs for

The Episode to Treat Insomnia

James White, August 10, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Yeah, I know. I did warn everyone beforehand saying this would be a seminary-level program, and, well, it was. Just a little discussion of today’s journey and where I am before getting into Gregory’s confession of faith once again. For some reason I really felt like I need to provide a lot of background information today, so, I did. After

Roadtrip DL #2: A&O Seminary Study Continues

James White, July 29, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had a problem getting things to work back home and had to restart, but we go through a full discussion of Calvin’s view of the Father, Son and Spirit in the Institutes, I:XIII:19-21. Gave a good bit of background information, too. An important study, I hope you will be blessed! Also, I gave to quotes, one each from Blaise

Trinity vs. Tawheed: James White & Jake Brancatella

James White, July 22, 2021, Debate, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

A one hour forty minute Christian/Muslim debate on a key and important issue.

The Regime Tightens Its Control, A Review of Dr. Gagnon’s Soteriology Posts on Facebook

James White, July 16, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If the last DL caused you to lose sleep because of the creepy stuff we played from the global elites, today’s clips from our governmental overlords will probably produce more insomnia. Sorry, but while there is still some daylight left, expose the unfruitful works of darkness. After a half hour of that (including reading Amy Grant’s comments about welcoming the

A Multi-Faceted Program

James White, July 13, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, King James Onlyism, Offense, Open Theism, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Resources, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a ton of topics from Doug Stauffer’s claim that I changed the text of The King James Only Controversy because of his refutations (false), to the weaponization of medicine, the onset of vaccine mandates, and the rise of trans-humanism. Played some pretty creepy videos (well, Rich thought they were creepy). Talked about Leighton Flowers a bit, and Rich tells

Is John 6 Only About the Apostles?

James White, July 12, 2021, Provisionism, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today we examined this article by Eric Kemp (following the claims of someone named Drew McLeod) that tries to argue that John 6 is only about the Apostles, and is not relevant to anyone alive today. We have examined many dozens of attempts to get around the teachings of John 6 over the years, and this one ranks right down

A Packed Program

James White, July 6, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Eastern Orthodoxy, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Not the most descriptive title, is it? Basically covered more on the SBC plagiarism scandal, reviewing some of what I included in my article about Tim Keller’s “being a heterosexual won’t get you to heaven” silliness, and how it was picked up by, and repeated by, so many others. We looked at the Docent Research Group, and wondered out loud

Mobile DL: Big Brother Keeps at It, Lessons from Litton, More on the Divine Truth About the Trinity

James White, June 30, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did another program from up here in Prescott Valley, Arizona, looking at some amazing actions of Big Brother as he seeks to establish his totalitarian regime. Then we looked at the amazing documentation coming out about the blatant plagiarization of sermon material by Ed Litton, the new President of the SBC, and finished up at the end with more exciting

First DL from Mobile Command Center, Then Dale Tuggy Punches Low

James White, June 24, 2021, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We did our very first live DL from our new mobile command center, aka, our 5th wheel unit that will be my living quarters as I travel around the US in the future (starting at the end of next month with a nearly 4000 mile loop around the western US, followed by my journey to Atlanta for the G3 Conference

Two Live Reports from the SBC in Nashville

James White, June 16, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Well, Rich and I had other plans today, but those fell through (after taking all morning), so we drove to the office and put together a quick DL featuring The Troublemaker from Texas,™ Dr. Tom Buck, and then following him up with another true troublemaker as well, my own fellow pastor at Apologia Church, Jeff “The Ninja” Durbin. Tom told

Dividing Line/Sheologians Mash Up

James White, June 15, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I did the program from Summer’s home today (they are installing the 5th wheel hitch in the truck today) so we talked about all sorts of stuff, including the SBC, how much the world has changed since Sheologians began, etc. Summer has come a long ways from her guest appearance on the show 25 years ago when we had her

A Helpful Discussion with the Muslim Metaphysician, Jake Brancatella

James White, June 3, 2021, Islam, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had an enjoyable conversation with Jake Brancatella, “the Muslim Metaphysician” on his conversion to Islam, his background, his “LPT” argument (Logical Problem with the Trinity), and much more. Jake is discussing aspects of the Trinity and Christology that most Christians don’t know about (let alone almost all Muslims) so you might just learn a few things yourself!
