Radio Free Geneva: Finishing Up John Lennox and John 6, Briefly Enduring Andrew Sluder’s Twisting of Scripture
James White, , Exegesis, Radio Free Geneva, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line
Two very different portions of a more than 90 minute program today! First we got back to John Lennox’s book, Determined to Believe and its attempt to deal with John 6. We spent most of our time here, as it is invaluable to see how tradition can impact and, in a few places, completely overthrow the direct content of the

Limited Atonement with David Allen, Ecclesiastical Textism with Robert Truelove
James White, , Exegesis, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
First Dividing Line back from a fierce ten day battle with the flu, so we went mega-length, two full hours. First 75 minutes we discussed the atonement and theology in general, starting to listen to comments made by Dr. David Allen of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary wherein he described limited atonement as a “doctrine looking for a text.” It was

Uber-Mega Dividing Line: Sola Scriptura, and Islamic Denials of the Deity of Christ
James White, , Exegesis, General Apologetics, Islam, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Went 135 minutes today (hence the “uber-mega” designation) covering two primary topics: sola scriptura defined and defended against a recent attack upon it by Karlo Broussard of Catholic Answers (first 90 minutes), and then a “live” review of a new video against the deity of Christ from a Muslim perspective (link). A lot of foundational, basic teaching today that we think is

Did Paul ever meet Jesus and hear him teach? Yes, it is likely
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , 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

A Few Thoughts on the Geisler/Licona Conflict
James White, , Exegesis
Norman Geisler has written two open letters to Mike Licona regarding some assertions Licona makes in his massive tome “On the Resurrection of Jesus”. Specifically, why Licona seems to take Matthew 27:52–53 as ahistorical, seeing it as “poetic” or “legend.” While I have Licona’s new book, it is not at the top of my priority reading list at the moment,

Philosophical “Response,” Racialism Again, Calls Including Church of Christ Question
James White, , Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Hebrew Israelism, Iglesia Ni Christo, Pauline Studies, Reformed Apologetics, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Started off with some brief comments on a response posted by Dr. Davis in reply to the last program, and then spent quite a while on the race issue once again due to comments on line by Urban Apologetics and Kyle Howard. Took a call from our brother Kofi up north, had problems with the phones, and managed to get

Galatians 5 and Justification, Part 2
James White, , Exegesis
In the midst of the battle the text of Scripture suffers at the hands of those who seek to mold it to their theology. Recently Paul’s words in Galatians 5 have suffered egregiously. Let’s remind ourselves of what Paul actually said: Galatians 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be

Ehrman and Islamic Apologetics and More on Andy Stanley and Russell Moore
James White, , Exegesis, Islam, Pastoral Theology, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Started off with a brief discussion of the constant problem with Islamic apologetics—the necessary double standard it has to employ to defend the Qur’an on one hand, and attack the Bible on the other. Then we moved back to the Russell Moore/Andy Stanley discussion, once again noting fundamental issues of ecclesiology and Scriptural authority lying at the root of the
