Travel, Worldview, Flowers and Open Theism

James White, June 1, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, General Apologetics, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I’m not overly good at titling these things, am I? Started off telling everyone about our new travel initiative and the coming “A&O Travel Rig,” which will involve a 5th wheel RV and the truck to pull it. We will start talking to churches real soon so as to get as much ministry benefit from traveling as possible. So, I

Big Brother Tweets, FB Discussion, Junias, and Sola Scriptura

James White, May 13, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Joe Biden told everyone their choice is clear: live in masks or take Dr. Fauci’s Genetic Wonder Oil via tweet right as the program started, so we talked about that a bit. Spent about twenty minutes on the assertion that the ESV is “removing” things from the Bible in reference to effeminacy, etc., then moved to a quick overview of

More on the Worldview Revolution, then an Overview of 1 Tim 2

James White, May 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with worldview issues, including the necessary and inevitable attack upon Christian teaching by secularizing governments in the West, but eventually moved to an extended discussion of Paul’s words to Timothy about women teaching and exercising authority over men. Lots of basic hermeneutics/exegesis issues covered today.

The President’s Plans

James White, April 29, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I did this program after doing Iron Sharpens Iron with Chris Arnzen, so this was sort of “hour three,” so I can’t claim there was a great deal of order to my thoughts. But aside from the start (where I talked about cycling, sorry), I spent most of the time considering the ramifications of the President’s speech before Congress last

A Post-Chauvin Verdict Show

James White, April 20, 2021, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

The initial verdict came down right at the start of the program but we pressed on anyway! We looked at the Rob Hoogland situation in Canada and the essence of transgender insanity. We looked at the “horrible damage” Samuel Sey did at Ambrose by…speaking words (the horror!). Discovered that some folks think there is no “threat of CRT” in the

Marty Duren and Big Eva, Vaccine Passports, and then Open Phones

James White, April 13, 2021, Christian Worldview, Church History, General Apologetics, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a reminder that we are fast approaching (later this week) the 500th anniversary of Luther’s appearance at the Diet of Worms, and discussed the significance of that. Then we covered a few topics like Marty Duren’s hit-piece on Faultlines by Voddie Baucham and the coming vaccine passports (in light of the volcanic eruption down in the Caribbean),

John’s Testimony to the Deity of Christ: John 1:1-18, 8:24, 58, 20:28

James White, March 29, 2021, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Spent nearly two hours in the AOMax studio today diving into the issues surrounding the proper translation and understanding of John’s testimony to Jesus in his Gospel, prompted by the exchange between Anthony Rogers and Brandon Tatum on Instagram, found here.

All is Not Quiet on the Western Front!

James White, March 11, 2021, Christian Worldview, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, Resources, Theology Matters

It is good for us to remember that we are not alone in our service to Christ and in the reign of His Kingdom in these dark and difficult days. I have had the great pleasure of ministering in Germany over the years, and in fact 2020 was the first year I had not been able to visit my brethren

Thinking Presuppositionally, Brandan Robertson and Chris Fisher

James White, March 9, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Open Theism, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

How do we think presuppositionally? Today we took at look at two issues, one with Brandan Robertson and his “Jesus was a racist” video, and then on to a debate on Open Theism with Chris Fisher, and his amazing claim that Yahweh gains knowledge by “counting water” in Isaiah 40:12. Hopefully helpful examples and teaching!

John Cooper of Skillet Talks About His Book, Music, and Life

James White, March 4, 2021, Personal, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Had a great time talking with John Cooper of Skillet today about his book, life, music, regrets, and victories. Really encouraging. Having some blocking issues (we played some music and the algorithms got us again!) but they should be cleared up fairly quickly since we submitted the clearance for them many hours before we did the show.

A Review and Refutation of Provisionist Confusion

James White, March 3, 2021, Pauline Studies, Provisionism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I did a quick teaching DL from home today to respond to the following meme (and briefly to one other that I don’t want to display). I tried to use a little screen annotation app I grabbed to do a little “Flip Board without the Flip Board” exegesis in Ephesians 1 to once again expose the man-centeredness of Provisionism’s vain

Special Guest Tom Buck/1 Corinthians 1 and a Debate

James White, February 25, 2021, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Provisionism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We had our first “e-guest” in our new studio today, Dr. Tom Buck of the FBC, Lindale. We talked things SBC as well as about the book of Hebrews, how to preach it, who wrote it, etc. Then toward the end of the program I made some comments about the McGrew/Slick debate on “total depravity” (I just looked and it

TikTok Lady Theologian Refuted, Comments on Dr. MacArthur and Losing Down Here

James White, January 27, 2021, Atheism, Christian Worldview, Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Musings, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Did a thorough review of a United Methodist woman’s claims about the Bible and homosexuality, working through key texts. Then listened to what Dr. MacArthur said about postmillenialism and “losing down here,” and offered a response. Hope we get to do another program, but must admit, we said more than enough on this one program to have us removed in

The Day After

James White, January 21, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Talked a lot about some of the amazing statements being made after the installation of the new regime in Washington. Looked at statements from Lecrae, Charlie Dates, and Anthony Bradley as well, especially as the latter two attacked Virgil Walker. Also looked at Russell Moore’s article on how to pray on inauguration day. Had to record and upload as the

Where Do We Go From Here? Staying Faithful in the Future

James White, January 19, 2021, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

As we watch with amazement the rapid transformation of Western culture in our day the question is: how do we remain faithful? I truly shared my heart today as I looked at an article about how the Chinese Communist Party “re-educates” Uighur Muslims and used it as a basis for laying out some basics for all of us at this

Challenges for the Global Church

James White, January 12, 2021, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Heavy topics after a weekend of heavy developments in the move toward global socialism. Discussed this invaluable insight, posted by Doug Wilson, from Theodore Dalrympe, and how it fits with everything else we’ve been trying to communicate of late: Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose

A Requiem for a Republic, Be Faithful Unto Death

James White, January 7, 2021, Christian Worldview, Musings, Offense, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

I had intended to read through the entirety of John Adams’ statement from 1798 regarding the Constitution yesterday, but events made it wiser to wait till today. We read through Adams and basically, for an hour, discussed the true foundational issues driving the cultural revolution that is destroying the West and leading us into a global socialist disaster. We expose

Response to Rick Warren on the Nature of the Church and More

James White, December 30, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off with a little cancel culture expose, then looked at this ultra-creepy, “Let’s out-Orwell Orwell” UK website encouraging folks to mind-read their family, friends and neighbors and snitch on them to “highly trained Prevent officers.” Talk about repulsive. Then we moved on to Rick Warren’s amazing statements about the church’s “weakness” of only having “worship.” Warren’s ecclesiology has been

A Bunch of Woke Stuff, then Underappreciated Incarnational Texts

James White, December 22, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a few miscellaneous developments, such as Hungary’s stand on the family, and then moved to texts that teach incarnational truths but that normally get glossed over, from Mark and from John 6. I had intended to address a particular KJV Only argument, and to respond to some Roman Catholic claims, but simply spaced both as time was short! But,

Catching Up on Events

James White, December 15, 2020, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

We covered the waterfront today to be sure, looking at all sorts of topics from Twitter and other sources, statements from seminary professors, people promoting the woke church, you name it. 90 minutes of Christian worldview application, starting off with a little jingle from John Cooper about “Woke Christmas.”

A New Testament Wide Survey of Thanksgiving

James White, November 24, 2020, Exegesis, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Always good to just let the Word speak sometimes, so that’s what we tried to do today, looking first at the verbal forms of “give thanks,” then at the substantival forms, “thanksgiving.” Hopefully a challenging and encouraging study. I did also point out how one text is the death knell for the “Word Faith” movement’s abuse of scripture.

Lewis’ “Prophecies,” Cosmic Reconciliation, the Beauty of Creation

James White, November 23, 2020, Christian Worldview, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Musings, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Jumbo edition today at ninety minutes covering some of the thoughts of C.S. Lewis on the coming technocracy, then finally getting back to Colossians 1 and “reconciliation” related to the atonement debate between Matt Slick and Sam Shamoun, and finishing up with a discussion of the beauty and order of God’s creation.

Doctrine & Life

Josh Tanner, November 19, 2020, Blog Stuff, Misc, Personal, Radio Free Geneva, Resources, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Hey all! We are so excited to be working with Alpha & Omega to bring excellent products with the incredible message of the gospel to those who love and want to support Alpha & Omega Ministries.

German Police And More

James White, November 19, 2020, Christian Worldview, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Played the video of German police breaking into a live streaming session of an anti-lockdown advocate at the start of the program. It is truly getting real. Talked about the Austrian attempt to enforce its secular “European values” in respect to “political Islam” as well. Covered a bunch of relevant topics, but, also was joined by Josh and Daren from

Big Brother Watch, Lessons from Acts 12

James White, November 12, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Today is my granddaughter Janny’s 5th birthday! Yay! Has nothing to do with the show but that’s OK. Went through news stories on such topics as Norway criminalizing private comments that would be “offensive” about transgenderism and the like, and then closed up with a run through of Acts 12 and the myth of neutrality.

Make Pastors Uncool Again

James White, November 6, 2020, Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Pastoral Theology, Post-Evangelicalism, Theology Matters

Pastors shouldn’t be rock stars. Yeah I said it. A rock star promotes himself, builds his

Post Election Rambling for Christians

James White, November 4, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Godly Disciplines, Homosexuality, Pastoral Theology, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Outside of saying we did talk specifically about the Equality Act and how it will fundamentally do away with the first Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, we sort of just pondered what looks like, at the moment, the possible outcome of the messed-up, in some places, very corrupt, election, especially as this impacts believers and the work

Pre-Election Day DL with Psalm 33 and JD Greear

James White, November 2, 2020, Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Jumped all over the place today, to be honest, on a number of topics. One was my insistence that you need to buy and actually read, or listen to, Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. I can’t recommend it too highly, even though it is not a Christian work, and hence cannot provide the final answers.

I Voted—Why? And More, Then Back to Reconciliation in Colossians and Ephesians

James White, October 29, 2020, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Covered a number of issues relating to the ongoing social revolution around the globe, including police threatening to break into homes to check for “improper” Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations (and people not wearing their masks 24/7), then discussed my vote, why I voted as I did, and that I truly believe my vote was a vote to be able to

Responding to Tim Staples on Catholic Answers Live on Sola Scriptura

James White, October 20, 2020, Abortion, Christian Worldview, Church History, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Offense, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

If you are active in reaching out to our Roman Catholic friends and family members, this is an important program for you. We spent most of our time going deeply into a clip from CA Live on “tradition” in the Bible. Then we played a brief clip from the British Parliament on critical race theory that was real encouraging, and

The Grinch Comes to California, Open Phones

James White, October 19, 2020, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Started off commenting on the MANDATORY guidelines for “private gatherings” in the Soviet Socialist State of Kalifornia (i.e., Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings), and noting that this will become a permanent aspect of our lives if we fall into the abyss of socialism on November 3rd. Then we took calls on a wide variety of topics, but a major portion of
